Chapter 230
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Clara gave a helpless chuckle. âSo thatâs how it is.â
âSo you think Iâm a useless man?â
âOf course not! Youâre amazing.â Clara looked into his eyes, saying sincerely, âYouâre the most responsible and reliable man Iâve ever met! Youâve saved me multiple times. Without you, I donât know where Iâd be.â
âBut you were thinking about leaving me for Elio!â That was something he would never forget!
Clara blinked, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
âAbout that⦠Itâs a long story! Elio did a lot for me, so when he said he needed me, I couldnât just say no! Besides, I didnât know you were serious about marrying me then! I thought⦠we were just pretendingâ¦â
âYou dummy!â Emmett flicked her forehead. âDidnât I make it obvious? You just didnât catch on!â
Clara squinted and laughed, âMaybeâ Mainly because I didnât dare to think about it then! Youâre so amazing, and the women who pursued you were all better than me! Iâm just an ordinary girl, how could I dare to think about such things? I was afraid that people would think I was daydreaming!â
âDo you dare to believe it now?â
âNot really,â Sometimes she still felt like she was dreaming.
âYou have to believe it.â
âOkay, noted.â
Emmett held her hand, âLetâs go back to the ward! I need to have a serious talk with Aiden and make sure he understands that he canât do such foolish things in the future.â
âDonât be too hard on him! After all, he did it because of meâ¦
âDonât worry, Iâve got it.â
Taylor felt like he had a long dream. In the dream, Clara was wearing a wedding dress, so beautiful.
She was walking towards him with a full smile. But when he was ready to go up and greet her, he found himself unable to move! Looking down, his mother was holding him back.
*Son, you canât go! Clara is deceiving you! Sheâs not a good woman!â
Taylor pushed his mother away and rushed towards Clara! Just as he was about to touch her, Emmettâs face suddenly appeared.
âClara is mine!â
âNo! No⦠Sheâs not!â
Taylor opened his eyes sharply! The white celling was a bit dazzling, so he quickly raised his hand to block it.
âSon, youâre finally awake!â Teresa quickly walked over when she heard him, âHow are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?â
Taylor shook his head, his brows furrowed.
âSweetie, ever since your car accident, youâve been like this, itâs really worrying. I⦠Iâm really scared that one day youâll just leave me!â Teresa said, tears welling up in her eyes, âChildren are a motherâs life, and you mean more to me than my own life! I just want you to be well, healthy, find a good girl in the future, have a child and start your own family. Can you understand my worries?â
Taylor licked his lips, âMom, do I really like Clara? Back then, was she the one for me?â
âGod!â Upon hearing this name, Teresa couldnât help but sigh, âYouâre too naive! Iâve spoiled you since childhood, hoping to shield you from all troubles and difficulties! So you were easily deceived by Clara because you were clueless about many things in life!â
