Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 409

With a charming smile, Leah nodded. "Thanks for setting this up, Sophia. I won't let you down."

...

When Clara returned to the maid's quarters, she barely stepped in before Rose shrieked, "Oh my gosh! What happened to your face? It's so swollen!"

Hearing the voices, Clara finally came back to her senses, touching her swollen cheek.

"Ouch..."

"Good heavens! Did the butler hit you? He has no right to raise his hand! Come, I'll confront him for you," Rose declared, heading towards the door.

Clara quickly pulled her back!

"No need, it wasn't the butler. I... accidentally ran into a wall."

Rose frowned, puzzled, "How could you hit your face on a wall?"

Clara was silent.

Faced with such a persistent questioner, Clara was embarrassed.

"I... I just ran into the wall, that's all... Don't you have anything else to do?" she quickly changed the subject, fearing Rose would obsess over her injury.

"Nothing else to do." Rose seemed to realize something. She sighed softly before saying, "I have some anti-swelling cream. It should help ease the pain."

Clara smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
