Two Times the Charm

Chapter 167

She was clueless about all this.

Now, she felt Emmett was pretty good to her, but that was because he considered himself the stepmother of the child, and the child was decent to her, there was a bit of guilt in his heart.

But if he knew the truth..

“Emmett, can I ask you something?”

Emmett glanced at her, “What?”

“What if… I mean what if one day you found out that I’ve been lying to you, what would you do?”

“You’ve asked me this before, haven’t you? I guess, you want to confront me directly, right? Emmett said, “Spill it, how did you deceive me?*

Clara regretted asking that question now.

What kind of person is this Emmett! She was just trying to feel him out…

Asking this way, isn’t it the same as telling him the truth?

“Emmett, why so serious? I just want to know the outcome! Today, um… I read a news story about a wife who deceived her husband and then the husband killed his wife! I think your personality…

“You’re saying I’d kill too?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“No, no, no!” Clara quickly explained. “You’re overthinking it, I just want to know, what would be your reaction!”

“What kind of reaction do you hope I’d have?”

“How would I know?”

“It depends on the severity of the matter.”

Clara quickly said, “It’s definitely a big deal! I wouldn’t lie over small matters.”

“Seems pretty serious” Emmett’s gaze swept over her cheek, “So you’d better not deceive me, just be upfront, I won’t make things difficult for you! But if I find out, I won’t let you off easily.”

Emmett said this to scare her.

But Clara was so scared that her hands were shaking a little.

Emmett comforted her, “Since you haven’t deceived me, there’s no need to be nervous! I’m not a monster, how could I take your life!”

In the evening, at the Melendez family’s estate.

Sophia Melendez looked at the time, her grandsons would be out of school in a little over an hour.

She asked the driver to prepare the car, “I want to personally go buy some ingredients to cook for my grandsons today! And pick them up on the way.”

“Alright.”

Soon, the car was ready

Sophia got in the car, contemplating what to make that would delight them!

Little Alex, he’s quite the talker, everything tastes good to him, but Aiden… hasn’t been eating much lately and seems to have lost some weight. “Ma’am, the children’s teachers called today and said school will be dismissed an hour late.” The driver had been on the road for a while when the butler

called to tell him

Upon hearing this, Sophia nodded slightly, “Alright, let’s go buy Aiden’s favorite pastries! I’ll get him some, in case he doesn’t like my cooking, he can have those pastries”

The driver smiled and replied, “Aiden and Alex are lucky to have a grandma like you!”

“It’s because of them that my life is complete!” Sophia sighed deeply, feeling a bit anxious every time she thought of the decision she made back then.

Even now, she wasn’t sure if she had made the right choice.
