Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

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. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

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?

Were his impressions of Clara really… that she was manipulative, and he was mistaken about her?

“Son, you’re my flesh and blood, how could I possibly harm you? You’re my only child, I want nothing more than for you to be happy! If Clara was really right for you, why would I tear you two apart? Right?” Teresa patted his shoulder, saying earnestly, “You are my life!”

Taylor lowered his head, “I’m sorry, Mom! I misunderstood you before. I thought you wanted to split me and Clara, so you deliberately told me those things…”

“Silly boy! Clara is actually a cunning woman! You should let her go! Even if you’re not with Ms. Amerson, you shouldn’t keep entangled with Clara.” Taylor nodded, “Yeah, Mom, you should go rest early! I’m gonna take a shower and then hit the sack.”

“Okay! Don’t work too late.”

“Mm.”

Taylor watched his mom leave, frowning.

Was it really like that?

Why did he always have this weird feeling?

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?”
