Two Times the Charm

Chapter 75

“Dad, can I ask you a question?”

Emmett was taken aback, it took him a few seconds to nod

This was a first Aiden never usually initiated questions.

But it felt good

“Alright, let’s go to the study.”

“Okay!”

Emmett entered the study, and Aiden immediately placed his homework on the table.

It was a complex problem. It would be hard for an average kid to understand, but Aiden never got bogged down by such questions.

Emmett glanced at him, “You don’t understand this?”

“Indeed, I really don’t.”

“Okay, let me explain it to you” Emmett didn’t think twice, he walked him through it.

Knowing that Clara was short on time, Aiden pretended not to understand, “Dad, I’m still a bit confused.”

“Then I’ll explain it in another way.”

Aiden nodded, then suddenly said, “Dad, I feel really happy right now.”

Emmett raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

“Because now I have a dad and a mom! I can be like other kids, ask my dad questions, and sleep with my mom! When I come home from school, I can see both of you at home, not just grandma and grandpa like before.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t give you enough love before”

“Then can you give me more attention from now on?”

“Sure” Emmett thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Aiden, would you mind if you had a brother?”

Aiden was taken aback, “I have a brother?”

“Just answer the question.”

“Are you and Ms. Calloway going to have another baby?”

Emmett shook his head, “No, what if you already have a brother, a twin brother, would you accept that?”

Aiden pursed his lips.

He felt like his dad was testing him, but also not. Even if his dad knew about Alex’s existence, he shouldn’t know that he had seen Alex.

So he simply shook his head, “Dad, I haven’t thought about this!

“I see” This was indeed a question most people wouldn’t consider.

Emmett smiled, “Then let’s continue with your question.”

“Okay!” Aiden smiled at him, “Dad, can you smile more in the future? I hardly see you smile. I think you look most handsome when you smile” Hearing Aiden’s compliment for the first time, Emmett was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, I’ll smile more at you”

Finally, Elio made a video call, and Clara immediately answered.

In the video, Alex’s eyes were red, and he was pouting

“Mom, it hurts.”

“Good boy, you need to be strong! You’re a man!”

“But it really hurts, even men feel pain.” Alex started crying, “I want mom by my side, can you come?*

At that moment, Clara wished she could fly to Alex’s side.

“Mom, I miss you”

That sentence shattered all of Clara’s reservations.

“Okay! I’ll take a day off tomorrow, then come to see you, how about that?”

“Really? You’re coming to see me?”

“Yes” She couldn’t stand it any longer, she missed him so much, almost to the point of going crazy!

Elio on the other end asked, “Have you sorted things out on your end?”

That’s not important, given his condition, I have to be with him!” “That’s great! Once you’re here, I won’t feel pain anymore! Come quickly!” “Okay, wait for me! But on one condition, you have to listen to MeC0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

UAN

He nodded vigorously, “I know! I’ll be good.”

It wasn’t until the video call ended that Clara left her room.

She knew she couldn’t keep Aiden waiting too long, he must be stalling Emmett.

“Knock knock-”

Clara knocked on the door of Emmett’s study.

Soon, Emmett came to open the door, “I thought you’d gone to bed.”

I’m sorry, I had something to deal with.” Clara glanced at the small figure in the study, whispering, “I have something to discuss with you.

Emmett paused for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, let’s go to my room.”

“Okay.”
