Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 449

Alex jammed the book back into her hands and shut his eyes tight.

Leah gritted her teeth, "Alright then, but this is the last story!"

"Fine, I'll take this one." Alex rummaged through the pile and picked out the thickest one, "Here, this is grandma's favorite to tell me."

Grandma, it's always grandma!

Leah was so irritated that she was ready to explode. But every time she was about to lose it, he would mention his grandma, instantly extinguishing her anger.

Was this not a threat?

Leah was at her wits' end. She decided to lay it on the line, "Kid, are you telling me you've never intended for me to be your mom? Never wanted to get along with me?"

But Alex wasn't done playing yet, he had no plans of letting Leah off the hook.

"Isn't it inevitable that you'll be my mom one day? Grandma said so. It's not like I can pick who my mom is. And I really want to get along with you! I'm hoping when Grandma and Dad have no time to take me to the amusement park, you could!"

Leah raised an eyebrow, half in doubt, "You'd give up Clara and accept me as your mom?"

Alex shrugged, "I miss Momma Clara, but no one listens to me. What can I do but accept you? Besides, Grandma says, if we get along well, you'll like me. So, why would I insist on who my mom is?"

Leah was befuddled by his logic. It seemed reasonable and unreasonable at the same time.

She wanted to refute but didn't know where to start!

It felt like punching cotton.

"So, are you going to read or not? If not, I will..."

"Call Grandma, right?"

Leah interrupted, grabbed the storybook from him, "I'll read! Stop bringing up your grandma. This move is getting old!"
