Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 93

As soon as Alex heard this, he quickly grabbed his mom’s hand, “Mom, please, I’m begging you! Promise me! I swear Il behave, and I won’t make you mad anymore. I listen to you, okay?”

Truth be told, if Clara said she wasn’t moved, she’d be lying.

She was about to agree, but…

“Alex, Mom doesn’t want to lie to you! Mom really can’t be with Mr. Milburn.”

“Hmph! Then I don’t like Mom anymore! I want to be with Mr. Milburn, and I won’t have a Mom anymore, only Mr. Milburn!”

With that, he stormed off into the game room and locked the door from the inside.

Elio immediately went over and knocked on the door, “Alex Alex, don’t be like this, come out and let me talk to your Morn again!”

“If my Mom doesn’t agree, I’m not coming out! And I’m not eating!”

Elio helplessly turned to Clara and lowered his voice, “Clara, what are you doing? Even if you truly don’t like me, don’t hurt the child’s feelings! He’s still young, and he doesn’t understand!”

“But if I lie to him now, I’ll have to tell him the truth later! I might have to tell more lies to cover up today’s incident. It’s better to let him know from the start that this is impossible”

“When he’s older, he’ll understand.” Elio frowned, “Why are you so stubborn?! Do you think the kid can understand bll these deep concepts you’ve laid out in front of him? Anyway, I wasn’t planning on getting married right away.”

“But he wants to live with you!”

“So let him! I won’t do anything to you. You don’t have a steady job or a home. Why not move in with me? It’s best for everyone! it would please Alex, and I could please my parents.” Elio ruffled his hair in frustration, “You’re rejecting me because you have someone else in your heart, right? That’s why you’re using all these weird excuses!”

“I don’t.” Clara shook her head, “I knew a long time ago it wasn’t possible between him and me. Even if he came looking for me now, I wouldn’t drag him down with me and Alex! Just like I can’t convince myself to drag you down! Elio, you’re feeling good about me now, and you think Alex is cool because he just moved in, but marriage is for the long haul! Eventually, you’ll want your own kids, and you’ll feel marrying a woman who already has a child isn’t worth it, then you’ll fall in love with someone else!” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Elio was speechless, “Am I really that shallow in your eyes? Have we just met?“.

“Your parents wouldn’t accept it either! Future conflicts are inevitable! Elio, you’re too naive! You haven’t considered these things, and you can’t give me a satisfactory solution.”

“So if I come up with a solution that eases your worries, will you marry me?”

Clara rubbed her temples, “Let’s discuss it when you actually have a solution! Do you think with all this going on, I have the mental capacity to think about these things? If the Melendez family takes Alex away, I won’t be able to live!”

“If you marry me, I’ll fight for Alex’s custody! You don’t have a stable income right now, so naturally, you can’t fight against the Melendez family. But if you marry me, it’s a different story! In court, you can also demand your custody rights, and the judge will consider all aspects”

“Elio, are you crazy? You want to challenge the Melendez family for me?” Clara furrowed her brows and shook her head, “No, I absolutely can’t let you do this! I don’t want anyone to get involved in this or let the Melendez family give the Milburn family any trouble! I would feel guilty!”
