Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 54

"I'm not scared of seeing you, it's just... I'm dressed super casual for the late night and didn't expect to see you this late, so..."

"I don't mind."

"Alright then, let's meet at the company entrance!"

After saying that, Emmett hung up the phone and hopped in his car to head to the company.

Left with no choice, Clara had to bid her son a reluctant farewell.

"Aiden, mommy will come visit you again!"

"It's okay, I can sneak out to see you! Grandma said you're already married to dad, right? So doesn't that mean I can see you everyday?"

Clara paused, and then sighed, "Mommy and your daddy didn't really get married! Although explaining this... is a bit awkward, your daddy doesn't know that I'm your mommy yet! I can't let him know for now, so can you keep it a secret for me?"

Aiden stared at Clara, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! I'll listen to you, mommy!"

"Good boy... Mommy has a request, can I give you a kiss?"

She's been wanting to do this for years!

Aiden hesitated for a few seconds, since he had never been so close to anyone before, this was a first...

But in the end, he nodded.

"Okay!"

Clara quickly kissed his cheek, then hugged him tightly.

"Mommy has to go now! Don't worry, mommy will definitely come back to find you! We'll keep in touch over the phone!"

"Okay! Be careful, mommy!"

Emmett waited for a while at the company entrance before he saw Clara rushing over.

This woman wore a dress and a pair of sneakers! You could tell it was a super casual outfit!

"Mr. Melendez!"

"Where did you come from?" Emmett glanced at the direction she came from.

"What about today?"

Emmett arched an eyebrow, challenging her statement. "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me? I suggested doing it today."

Clara was taken aback. "Now? It's already so late. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? We're legally married, and there's nothing wrong with us having a meal together at this hour. What are you afraid of?" Emmett retorted.

Clara fell into a brief silence. What was she afraid of? Of course, it was him!

"Get in the car. I'll drive you home," Emmett said, already opening the car door. However, he noticed that Clara was not following.

"What are you thinking? Get in the car!" he urged.

"Mr. Melendez, I think... it would be best to treat you during the day tomorrow. It's not suitable at this time," Clara suggested, hoping to find a compromise.

"If I say it's suitable now, then it is!" Emmett declared, his tone firm.

Knowing she couldn't win the argument with Emmett, Clara reluctantly got into the car. She had planned to video call Alex or send a message to Aiden after reaching home, or maybe even make a discreet phone call. However, it seemed that today she wouldn't be able to do any of those things...
