Two Times the Charm by Mr. Wilson

Chapter 30
Clara kept nodding “Gotcha, Mi Melendez”
Emmett gave her a quick glance and then turned around to leave
Only then did Clara let out a sigh of relief
The day went by in a flash, and Clara malized it was already time to leave the office Just as she was about to make her way out,
she unexpectedly ran into Emmett
“Remember tomorrow is the weekend”
Clara nodded in acknowledgment “Yes. Im aware
up with work, and I dont want him to feel neglected
but Mr Melendez, I might not be able to accompany your son. You see, my own son wants to go out and play too. Tve already
promised him! I’ve been so caught
hope you understand, Mr. Melendez
Emmett’s brow furrowed in concern, in that case, bring your son along. We can all go out together tomorrow”
Clara hurriedly explamed, “My son is quite shy and gets scared around strangers! I apologize Mr Melendez Thope you
understand.”
“Oh Emmett didn’t give her a hard time, he just gave a slight nod and motioned, “You can go”
Watching Clara’s retreating figure Emmett’s brows furrowed
It wasnt that he insisted on having Clara around, it’s just that he felt somewhat at a loss dealing with his son alone!
From childhood to adulthood, his son had never spent alone time with him, let alone had much conversation They probably didn’t
even meet five times in the past year!
Now he was to take his son out alone to bond and he didn’t know how to go about it

He had hoped that Clara could join and ease the awkwardness a bit, but she had her own son to take care of
Emmett took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead
When Emmett’s car pulled up at the house, his father Patrick came out to greet him
Emmett “What’s up, Dad?”
“What do you think? Patrick looked at his son, helplessly frowning. “What else could it be? It’s always about your marriage!
You’re not young anymore, Alden is at an age where he needs a mother, haven’t you thought about settling down?”
“Im not interested in women
“What kind of excuse is that? I’ve never heard such a thing in my entire lifel Can’t you control yourself? Or perhaps if you interact
more, you might just get over it!”
Emmett calmly replied, “I can’t control it”
“Didn’t you hire a female secretary? Aren’t you guys getting along?”
Emmett locked at his father for a moment, suddenly recalling Clara’s words.
“Dad, did you hire Clara to be my wife?”
“That was indeed my original intention” Patrick didnt intend to hide it, “But I just found out she already has a son and doesn’t
seem to have any plans to marry you! I thought she would happily agree, but she kindly rejected me Emmett, don’t you think it’s
time for some self reflection? Why haven’t you had a woman by your side all these years? If it wasn’t for your mom and me
insisting on you having Aiden, we probably wouldn’t even have a grandchild by now!”
Every time this topic came up. Emmett seemed somewhat impatient
“I already have a grandson, why do you still insist on me getting married?”
“You cant stay single forever! Haven’t you heard the rumors outside? I’ve heard them! Patrick studied his son for a moment, his
eyes suddenly bulging, “Could it be you really are.”
Emmett, feeling exasperated, said. “When Aiden was born, it wasn’t by means of IVF in the end”
