Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 109
“Don’t overthink it; I’ve always been this loosey–goosey. You and Alex are like family to me. As long as you’re okay, I’m good”
Elio said, tucking away his deep–seated sadness and pain. He waved his hand, “Alright, go rest up. Leave this to me and I got it
covered. Don’t worry about anything else, got 11?”
Clara lowered her head, “Elio, I’m sorry”
“Don’t say sorry‘ It sounds like we’re saying goodbye or something You’re just just being with the real father of your child, that’s a
good thing. There’s nothing to apologize to me for! Besides, we’ll see each other again. If I come back to our country. I’ll look for
you and Alex tool I consider him my son. I’ll miss him”
I’ll miss you too.
But Elio wouldn’t say it out loud.
What Clara needs now is stability and an escape, not him.
Clara didn’t sleep well that night.
On the one hand, she was worried about Elio’s plan going south. On the other hand, she was scared about her uncertain future.
The next morning, Alex came knocking on the door.
“Mommy!”
“What is it?” Clara opened the door, and Alex threw himself into her arms.
“I had a dream, in which you left me at Mr. Milburn’s house again!” Alex cried as he spoke, “I want to be with Mommy, but I also
want to be with Mr. Milburn!”
Clara felt helpless but still held her son tightly, “Baby boy, listen to Mommy! Mr. Milburn and I are just friends, and you’re too
young to understand this. You’ll get it when you grow up!”
Alex blinked his eyes and puckered his lips, “You adults always beat around the bush! By the time I grow up and understand, it’ll
be too late! What will you do if Mr. Milburn gets married?”

“...” Clara wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing, only sighing. Who do you want more, Mommy or Mr. Milburn?”
“Mommy, of course!”
“Alex, don’t bring this up again, okay? Mommy will never leave you again!” Clara hesitated, wanting to tell Alex about Aiden, but
eventually, she didn’t
Elio had racked his brains to find a solution that would allow her, Aiden, and Alex to be together. She believed everything would
work out.
“Really?” Alex blinked his eyes, “But what will you do when I get married? The TV shows say that old people need companions,
or else they’ll become grumpy.”
Clara poked his forehead, “What on earth is going on in that little head of yours? Eat your breakfast. Mommy has something
important to discuss with you later”
No matter what, she had to talk to Alex about this.
How would Alex react if he knew his biological father was Emmett.
“A talk?” Alex sensed something was off, so he simply sat quietly in his chair, “Tell me now, Mommy! Are you going to limit my
sugar intake again?”
“It’s about about your biological father.”
