Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 422

The issue at hand was that the children's room on that floor was heavily guarded. Without prior arrangements with Aiden and Alex, her chances of sneaking in were practically slim to none.

She shrugged it off, deciding to head over and assess the situation herself. Who knew? Maybe Lady Luck would favor her this time.

With bated breath, she cautiously approached the children's room.

Just as she had suspected, there were several guards patrolling the area.

"One, two, three..."

Just the left staircase alone had three guards. They were all burly and imposing. There was no way she could muscle her way through them.

Just as Clara was about to lose hope, she spotted a small figure emerging from the room.

It was Aiden.

Her eyes lit up the moment they fell on the boy.

"What are you up to, young master?" A guard asked hurriedly upon spotting him. After all, the Melendez family had increased security for the boys following the recent kidnapping incident.

"I'm going to see Granny." Aiden replied in his high-pitched voice. "Don't worry, I won't wander off."

"Should I call your Granny and have her come pick you up?" The guard suggested with a smile.

"No need. It's not that far and Granny has been having leg pains recently. I don't want to trouble her."

As the guard hesitated, Aiden took off.

"Young master, come back here!" The guard called out while rushing after him.
