Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 86

On the way back from the airport, Clara and Elio remained silent.

Clara had been avoiding Elio's emotions, but this time he was determined to get a response from her.

After returning to Elio's place, as soon as Alex entered his own bedroom, Elio spoke up again, "Now, can you tell me why you refuse to accept me?"

"Stop it! Let's end this topic here. I want to go check on Alex," Clara said, standing up to leave, but Elio grabbed her wrist.

"Are you rejecting me because you have feelings for someone else?"

"..."

"Clara, you have someone you like."

This statement was not a question but a statement of certainty!

From her sudden realization, Elio could tell!

"So, who is the man you like?" Elio persistently asked. "If that man proposed to you, would you still refuse?"

"Yes! I would refuse anyone."

"Okay, since you say you would refuse anyone; remember your own words! And also remember this: If you ever decide to get married someday, I still hope you will consider me first."

Seeing Elio's smile, she finally felt at ease. At present, there were very few people she could trust. If she and Elio couldn't be friends anymore because of this, it would be a deeply troubling matter for her.
