Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 441

"Mommy made it clear, didn't she? This matter must stay a secret for now, not even Grandma can know! And, have you had your fill of tormenting Leah yet?"

Alex squinted his eyes and grinned, shaking his head. "Not at all! It's too thrilling to mess with someone so openly. I want to keep it up for a while! Ideally, every woman other than Mommy should know that there's a little devil in the Melendez family, so they wouldn't dare to get close to Daddy, nor even think about replacing my Mommy!"

Aiden smirked, "Then just listen to me and you won't go wrong. If Grandma ever asks you anything and you're not sure how to respond, just pretend to have a headache or stomachache, and change the subject. I'll tell you later how to explain it."

Alex nodded vigorously, though he was still full of questions. "Bro, I really want to know why Mommy can't tell the truth to Grandma! We could clear things up so easily!"

"Maybe the adults have their own undisclosed reasons. At least, they don't want us kids to know."

Of course, Aiden was curious too, but he knew that if Mommy could tell him, she wouldn't keep it a secret.

Since she had insisted, it was best to obey!

...

Leah was awakened by the butler's knock on the door.

She got up sleepily and opened the door. Before she could even say a word, she heard the excited, chirping voice of Alex.

"Ms. Calloway, this is great! I get to play with you again today! Grandma said you'll accompany me all day, I'm so happy!"

Aiden chimed in from the side, "I don't have any books to read today, so I can play with you and Alex."

Hearing this, Leah felt like bolting.

She was still sporting the bruises from yesterday's 'playtime' with Alex, not to mention the allergic reaction on her cheeks. She had probably never been so embarrassed in her entire life!
