Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 67

"Mom's got it, don't worry! Once I've sorted out your dad, I'll tell Alex about this!"

"Okay! But... Mom, are you really not gonna spill the beans to Dad? You gonna keep him in the dark forever?"

"Aiden, Mom's stuck between a rock and a hard place! I'm sorry."

"Mom, you brought me into this world, there's nothing to apologize for. Plus, I'm well-fed and taken care of, dad hasn't treated me badly either! But... Mom, I really wish we could all live together as a family."

Clara looked at the text, tears streaming down her face.

How much she wished that could be the case?

But right now, she was scared that one wrong move would ruin everything!

If she lost both of her children or even just one, she didn't know how she'd carry on!

...

Taylor returned home, feeling down in the dumps.

Even though his mom had tried to cheer him up for a while, he still couldn't let go of his desire to find Clara.

However, when he found out Clara had a child, he began to have second thoughts, even feeling a bit disappointed.

"Son, you're the CEO of AW Corporation now, you can have any woman you want. Why are you hung up on one woman? Clara was never good enough for you from the start! You rejected her before, didn't you?"

Taylor was taken aback, looking at his mom, "I rejected Clara?"

"Yes! You had a girlfriend then, Ms Amerson! You guys were going steady, so Clara was jealous and tried to meddle. I warned you then, and you saw her true colors and rejected Clara, but she wouldn't let go! Then you lost your memory, and you lost touch with each other!"

"…" Taylor found this explanation strange, but he did recall rejecting Clara.

Was it really like that?

But when he tried to understand this feeling, he couldn't put it into words. He just felt empty inside, like something was missing.

...

Clara had a restless night, tossing and turning in bed.

Perhaps it was due to the new environment, or because of Emmett being nearby.

She was always worried that Emmett would discover something.

By morning, she was up and about, getting ready for work.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Emmett in the living room.

He raised an eyebrow when he saw Clara, "Where're you off to?"
