Two Times the Charm

Chapter 49

Clara instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she thought of Alden….

Her son!

If she moved in, she could see Aiden every day

Seeing Clara hesitate, Emmett was quite surprised

After all, Emmett thought Clara would refuse immediately

“Can can I live here?”

“You’re my wife now, of course you can live here. “Emmett looked at her, “But… are you broke again?”

Clara was taken aback, “Why would you ask that?”

“I think you can’t afford to rent a place, that’s why you didn’t refuse the idea of moving into the Melendez family house.”

Clara didn’t expect Emmett to give her such a good excuse!

She was thinking if she agreed right away, would he suspect something

But.. if she moved into the Melendez family’s, wouldn’t the past be revealed instantly!

Then she’d be kicked out and Alex would be taken away by force.

Clara hurriedly shook her head, “I’d better not live here, I’m not good at lying. I’m afraid it won’t end well! I can rent a place close to here.”

Emmett was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled out a key. “This is my villa nearby, you can live there.”

“Huh?”

“You don’t have to pay rent.”

Clara didn’t reach out to take it.

Emmett firmly pressed the key into Clara’s hand. “Now that you’re my wife, it’s crucial to play this role convincingly. Remember your status and believe it yourself before you

can deceive others.”

Clara gazed up at his handsome face, her voice filled with nervousness. “Mr. Melendez, L. I’m really anxious!”

Emmett raised an eyebrow in response. “You’re still addressing me as Mr. Melendez?”

“Emmett…”

Taking a deep breath, Emmett reached out and held her hand directly. The touch sent a wave of familiarity through Clara Since seeing Aiden and discovering the truth, she realized she had experienced this touch before–it felt so familiar.

“Now, do you feel like my wife? Emmett questioned, their hands still entwined.

Clara gazed at their joined hands, lost for words. Suddenly, Emmett leaned down and kissed her lips–a moment that consumed Clara’s thoughts.

After a brief pause, Emmett stepped back slightly. “And now?”

Shocked, Clara quickly covered her mouth, her eyes fixed on Emmett.

He chuckled. “Do I need to kiss you every day for you to grasp the feeling?”

Clara quickly shook her head, “No, no need…”

‘Let’s go then! My mother should be here already, and my son.”

Son!

As soon as Clara heard she could see Aiden, she quickly nodded, “Okay! Let’s go!”

Emmett frowned, “Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?”

“Well… I want to see what Mr. Melendez’s son looks like! I’m curious!”

“He doesn’t look much like me.”

“Okay”

Emmett looked at her, “He does look a lot like you, though.”

Hearing this, Clara felt even more anxious! Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Like me? How is that possible!”

“You just look a bit pfmilar” Emmett took her hand again, “Let’s go, don’t make them wait too long”

“Okay”

Clara looked at Emmett’s back and took a deep breath.

Why did she feel like she couldn’t keep this secret for long!

Now she was basically in enemy territory, she felt danger everywhere!
