Two Times the Charm

Chapter 65

Thankfully Emmett didn’t insist on her living with him under the same roof, which meant Clara still had some level of freedom.

After showering and changing into her pajamas, Clara immediately took out her phone The first message she saw was from Elio

She quickly hid in the bathroom and called him back.

“Hey, where have you been? I thought you got kidnapped or something?”

“How could I be kidnapped? I’m broke and not exactly a looker, Clara sighed. “I’m just buned in work. So busy I didn’t even have time to check my phone!”

“Alex is really worried about you” Elio hesitated, then added, “I’m also worried about you”

Clara sighed again, “You? Worried about me? You really expect me to believe that?”

Is it wrong for me to worry about you? Jeez, you’re such a piece of work! You don’t appreciate anything! From now on, I won’t worry about you anymore You can do whatever you want! I’m hanging up

Cara quickly said, “Wait! I’m sorry! Put Alex on the phone, I want to talk to him.”

You only care about your son, and not about me!”

Despite his complaints, Elio passed the phone to Alex

Heanng his mother’s voice, Alex was thrilled.

“Mom! Why didnt you answer your phone? I was so womed”

“Buddy, mom’s fine! I’m just trying to make some extra bucks to buy you burgers, okay?”

“Mom, you’re the best! But Mom, you dont have to work so hard! You could just marry Mr Milbum! He’s loaded, he can buy me burgers every day!”

Just as Clara went speechless. Elio burst into laughter on the other side of the phone, “Alex, I knew those burgers I bought you weren’t for nothing”

“Mom, I’m serious! Mr. Milburn bought me lots of burgers, and his house is huge, he’s definitely wealthy

“You cheeky kid Clara had to say, “Elio, could you stop spoiling him?”

Elio defended himself, “He came up with it!”

“Yeah, Mom! You should just be with Mr Milburn, I’m happiest when you two are together

Clara rubbed her temples. “Alex, stop talking nonsense! Behave at Mr Milburn’s place, mom will come pick you up soon.”

Alex pouted, “Alright”

Elio took the phone back, his voice sounding serious, “Clara, are you really not considering me?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Can you stoo messing around? Alex will take it senously!”

“I’m not messing around. Can I not be honest? Clara, I’m senous about pursuing you”

“I don’t believe you! I’m busy with work, I have to hang up now, please take care of Alex for me, 111 repay you somehow!”

“Hmph.”

Clara ended the call, her gaze fell on her phone screen, her brows slightly furrowed

She was not blind to Elio’s feelings towards her

But considering her current situation, where did she have the time or energy to date?

When she initially agreed to have a baby for someone else, she decided that she would not have any relationship with any man‘ She didn’t want to be a burden to anyone, nor did she want to disrupt anyone’s life!

Elios family was wealthy and he was quite handsome: If he were to be with her, it would really be unfair to him.

He deserved better.

Clara walked out of the bathroom

Just as she stepped out, she heard someone knocking at the door!

Clara quickly walked over to open the door, there stood Emmett

He was wearing black pajamas, which surprisingly looked quite appealing.
