Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 427

Emmett abruptly grasped her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. "Are you telling the truth?"

Clara felt like her soul was about to take flight. "Of course, I'm telling the truth. Why else would I dare to undress you?"

"But my memory doesn't seem to align with what you're saying."

His words sent chills down Clara's spine.

"So... in your memory, you undressed yourself?"

Clara was baffled and had no other choice but to play dumb.

Emmett looked at her carefully. She was clearly nervous, but it didn't seem like she was lying. Was this all just wishful thinking on his part?

"Get out!" He suddenly couldn't stand another second of seeing Clara.

Clara nodded hastily and turned to leave. As she reached the door, Emmett's voice echoed behind her.

"Call Leah for me. From tonight on, she'll stay in my room. This way, she can take care of me if I drink too much. And starting tonight, you'll be standing guard outside my door every day!"

Clara turned to look at him. He knew that what he just said would clearly hurt her, so was he doing this on purpose?

Was he trying to make her jealous?

Or had he moved on and developed feelings for Leah?
