Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 90

"I'm not blinded by money; I genuinely feel that Mr. Milburn is really nice to me!" Alex earnestly said. "I'm not a kid anymore. I know that when you’re choosing a boyfriend, you can't just look at whether he's rich or not!"

"..."

"When picking a boyfriend, you should find someone like Mr. Milburn, who truly treats me well!"

Clara helplessly poked her son's forehead, "You little rascal, you've been picking up bad habits from the TV again! If you keep this up, I'm gonna ban you from watching TV!"

"This isn't bad stuff. I'm just thinking about you!" Alex retorted, "You're alone, so you need someone to lean on too! If you have to take care of me by yourself, it'll be really hard!"

"You're talking like a grown-up, which not even adults can do sometimes."

These days, the younger generation were getting harder and harder to understand.

They seemed to know everything and spoke like adults.

"Mom, can you please reconsider Mr. Milburn?" Alex tugged at Clara's sleeve, "I like him, I really want him to be my dad!"

"..." Looking at Alex's eager eyes, Clara felt at a loss for how to turn him down.

But she really couldn't accept Elio.

If she did, not only would she be laughed at, but so would Elio.

The Melendez family is no joke; she's been very careful with her actions. If Elio got involved, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Just as Alex was about to speak again, there was a knock on the door.

Clara quickly got up to answer it, only to find a hurried Elio.

The Melendez family is very influential; if they decide to focus on investigating something, it won't be easy to evade their pursuit no matter where you run!

"That would be great; as long as Alex is safe, I'm willing to do anything!"

"I'll contact the people over there, and see if we can get you guys over there as soon as possible."

Clara frowned, looking a little troubled.

Just as she was hesitating, her phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Emmett.

Clara felt like running away on the spot when she saw his name.
