He didnât know why his mom always had a bad attitude towards Clara recently âNah, sheâs been pretty nice to all of us, especially the two kids.â
âAiden and Alex are her little darlings, I can understand her desire to protect kids, but I donât want her to always trouble you!â Emmett said, looking upset.
1 tried talking to her about it, but she wouldnât listen! If it werenât for you stopping me, I would have moved out.â
Clara laughed it off, âLetâs not do anything drastic. Itâs not a big deal. Weâre family, if we move out, people will start talking.â
âBut sheâs always giving you a hard time. Emmett put his arms around Clara, âI canât stand to see you being scolded.â
Clara looked at him and smiled, âGetting a few words from the elders, itâs not a big deal! Donât take it so seriously! We finally have a chance to live together as a family, I donât want a small thing like this to distance you from your parentsâ
Emmett sighed, âYouâre the best wife in the world.â
âStop it, youâre making me blushâ Clara quickly changed the topic to her design drafts, Take another look! Let me know if thereâs anything I need to change! Even if I have to pull an all-nighter, Iâll get it fixed.â
âNo rush, your health comes first, donât stay up lateâ Emmett stood up, leading Clara to the balcony, âLook at this city, so many of these buildings are mine, I want to share them with you.â
Clara looked out, her mood lightening, âThat one too?â
âYep.â
âAnd that grey building?â
Emmett nodded, âThatâs ours too.â
Even though Clara knew Emmett was wealthy, she was still surprised when she saw all of his properties.
âYou have so muchâ¦â
âNot me, us.â Emmett squeezed her hand, âWeâre a team! Iâm planning to add your name to all these propertiesâ
Clara quickly shook her head, âNo! I canât accept this! I didnât earn all this, how could I take it?â
âIf I say you can, then you can! Are you still doubting me?â
Clara firmly said, âEmmett, my life now is already a bit overwhelming, Iâm afraid of losing it all any second! If you give me all this wealth, I wonât be able to handle it! Letâs forget about it!â
âIfI say you can, then you can! If you hadnât stopped me from going public, I would have planned our wedding by now.â
It was Emmettâs regret that he couldnât see Clara in her wedding dress. âLetâs not talk about the wedding! Weâre so busy. You donât have time, I donât have time, eithrt itâs just a ceremony, so letâs just drop it.â
She didnât want to be in Taylors world anymore.
Now that everything had calmed down, she just wanted to keep a low profile and let bygones be bygones.
Emmett seemed a bit upset, âDo you think Iâm not good enough?â
âHow is that possible! Youâre the CEO of the Melendez family, who could be better than you!â
âThen why wonât you marry me publicly and let everyone know youâre my wife?â
âIâm scaredâ¦
âScared of what? The female employees at the company?â
