Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 424

If he waited a bit longer, it would be too late.

"Go home. Go!" Clara squeezed her eyes shut, trying to fight back tears. She didn't want to upset Aiden.

She stood there, watching as Aiden's small figure disappeared from her sight, as if she had left with him.

...

After Aiden left, sure enough, the guard had gone to find Sophia.

At that moment, Sophia was anxiously pacing by their bedroom door.

Aiden meekly approached as he spoke tentatively. "Granny, why are you standing here?"

Upon hearing his voice, Sophia quickly walked over. "Where have you been, young man?! Do you know how worried I've been?! I thought..."

She couldn't finish her sentence. Instead, she pulled her grandson into a tight hug. "You are my world! If something happened to you, I wouldn't want to live!"

"Granny, I went to find you, but it got dark, and I got lost."

"Why didn't you just call me if you wanted to see me?" Sophia stroked his hair, finally feeling some relief.

"But I didn't want to disturb you if you were asleep."

"You cheeky monkey! Alright, now that Granny's here, what did you want to talk about?"

Aiden nodded and took her hand. "Can we talk inside?"
