Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 47

After getting out of the car, Emmett saw Clara hesitating, and he just reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Let's go."

Clara looked up at his eyes!

For some reason, he always felt somewhat familiar to her.

Walking in with Emmett, Patrick was already waiting at the door!

"You're back."

Emmett nodded, glancing at Clara beside him, "This is Clara."

Patrick nodded, "I know."

Clara kept her head down, not daring to look around, "Hello, Mr. Melendez!"

"You're still addressing me so formally? Aren't you already married to Emmett?"

Emmett interrupted, "Don't make it hard for her, she's nervous."

Patrick chuckled softly, "Let's talk inside then! Your mother is helping Aiden with his homework, they'll be out when it's done!"

Aiden?

That must be Emmett's son.

Clara followed Emmett inside, and the Melendez family's servants were all lined up to welcome her!

The feeling was...terrifying!

People who haven't experienced it have no idea what it feels like! Because only she and Emmett knew, she was a complete fraud!

"Ms. Calloway, didn't you say before that you didn't want to marry Emmett?" Patrick sipped his water, then looked at Clara sitting on the sofa.

Clara quickly responded, "Well...I was moved by Emmett afterwards."

"My son managed to move you?" Patrick chuckled, "I thought he was too icy to chase girls."

Emmett frowned, "You guys talked about this before?"

He had no idea!

"Just a bit...briefly..."

"What was your answer then?"

"Ms. Calloway said she wasn't interested in you."

"Aiden seems to be in a rather foul mood today."

"Yes, he has been quite lethargic since his return. Perhaps it's because... Mr. Melendez recently got married! To Aiden, that's like having a stepmother!"

Another servant let out a sigh. "Aiden is such an adorable child. I never expected him to endure such hardships! Rumor has it that he has never even laid eyes on his biological mother! He was taken away immediately after birth!"

"Really? The Melendez family can be so merciless!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, you want to lose your job?!"

"Sorry, sorry..."

Clara turned to look at the two of them, suddenly feeling a bit strange.

The youngest of the Melendez family has never seen his biological mother, and was taken away right after he was born, isn't this similar to the fate of her own other son?

So there's another poor child in the world whose life is so similar to her son's.

Clara sighed, stood up to go back, after all, she couldn't stay here too long.

Suddenly, she heard a somewhat childish voice from behind...

Very familiar...
