Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 48

Hold up, who’re ya?”

Clara froze, turning around…

For a split second she felt like her soul was about to jump out of her body!

The boy standing before her looked exactly like Alex!

Exactly the same!

When Aiden saw Clara there, he was also taken aback.

“Mommy?”

“You. You’re Emmett’s son?” Clara was stumped, she felt like she was about to lose her mind.

Aiden nodded his head, seeing a servant approaching, he quickly pulled Clara into a room nearby, “Mommy, what are you doing here?”

“I was brought here by Emmett…” Clara paused, suddenly asking, “What did you just call me, mommy? You. You know who I am…”

“Of course I do! I’ll explain everything later! Mommy, can you tell me why Alex was sent away? I’ve been looking for him, but I can’t find him!”

So… Alex and Aiden had already me!!

They knew everything!

“Mommy?”

“Ah… Alex, Alex went to Europe, he had some business to take care of.”

“You’re afraid of being found out by my dad, aren’t ya?”

Aiden looked around and then whispered into Clara’s ear, “Mommy, I don’t know what happened between you and dad, but right now it’s not safe for us to be together for too long So, every night when my grandmother goes to sleep at around half past eight, I’ll sneak out and call you, you come pick me up, okay?”

Clara nodded blankly.

Aiden reached out his small hand, “Mommy, give me your phone.”

Clara quickly handed it over.

“This is my number, now I have yours too, I’ll contact you before I head out! You come pick me up around the Melendez family estate”

“Okay!”

Aiden gave a small smile and turned to leave.

Clara instinctively grabbed her son’s hand. They stared at each other for a few seconds…

Soon, tears welled up in Clara’s eyes, and they began streaming down her face. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“All these years, I’m so sorry, kiddo…” she uttered, her voice filled with remorse

“I know you had your reasons, mommy I don’t blame you her son replied, displaying a remarkable understanding.

Clara bit her lip forcefully, determined to conceal her tears. She didn’t want her son to witness her crying during their first meeting. She had envisioned this moment countless times, wondering whether he would blame her, hold resentment towards her, or perhaps even curse her. She had prepared herself to endure all of that, as she believed it was the retribution she deserved. However, she never anticipated that he wouldn’t harbor any resentment towards her. This realization only intensified Clara’s feelings of guilt.

“Mommy, if I stay away for too long, grandma will start searching for me! I have to go,” Aiden gently reassured Clara, patting her hand. “We’ll meet again tonight, I promise.” Clara nodded fervently, her gaze fixed on Aiden as he vanished from her sight. In that moment, it felt as if she were caught in a dream. The man from her past turned out to be Emmett The confusion within her mind was overwhelming, leaving her unable to sort out her thoughts.

Suddenly-

She felt someone tap her from behind!

Turning around, she saw Emmett.

“What are you doing?”

“Uh I thought the view here was pretty nice, so I wanted to enjoy it.

Emmett glanced at his own garden, “If you like it, you could move in here.”
