Two Times the Charm

Chapter 74

But now, it seemed like Clara was quite disappointed in herself, even sounding impatient on the call

Was it really as Teresa said? Was Clara with Emmett just for the money like she’s always been?

Taylor scrunched up his face when Teresa’s call came in.

“Where are you, son?”

“Outside.”

“Did you go see Clara again? Didn’t I tell you not to? Why did you still go?”

“I didn’t go see her, I’m just driving around to clear my head, feeling a bit down.”

“Well, that’s good! I’m just worried you’ll be fooled by Clara again! She’s not a good woman, remember that!”

Sitting in the car, Taylor was all pent up with no outlet. He brushed her off and hung up.

Then he called his secretary. “You’re fired, take your pay and leave!”

“Mr. Atwood, give me a chance to explain! I know I messed up, I shouldn’t have done it, but it was the old lady’s doing, I had no choice! I can’t afford to offend either side!”

“So you sold me out, and I should keep you around to keep tabs on me? Since you agreed to be my mother’s mole, go work for her!”

“Mr Atwood, you can’t do me like this! I really know I messed up!”

Taylor was so irritated, he didn’t have the patience to listen to her and hung up.

He didn’t need a lapdog like this around!

Even if it was arranged by his mother, he didn’t need it!

In the evening, Aiden was picked up by Ricardo.

The first thing he did when he came in was to look for Clara!

“Dad, where’s… Ms Calloway?”

“In her room.” Emmett glanced in that direction, “She was feeling a bit down this afternoon, you go do your homework first.”

“Feeling down? I’ll go comfort her, she’ll feel better! I’ve already done my homework at school.”

Emmett thought about how much Clara liked Aiden, maybe Aiden could really cheer her up, so he nodded, “Alright! Go comfort her.” “Okay!”

Aiden quickly ran to Clara’s room and gently pushed open the door.

Clara looked over when she heard the noise, “Aiden? I’m sorry, I forgot to pick you up!”

That’s okay! Mom, what’s wrong? Dad said you’re feeling down.”

‘Alex fell! It’s a bit serious.”

“What? I want to see him! Can I video call him?”

“I’m also waiting for his video call.” Clara sat on the edge of the bed, looking down guiltily, “Aiden, I don’t know what to do! I feel like… I can’t take care of you and Alex well at the same time, I’ve never thought about it before!”

“Alex is injured now, we should avoid video chatting with him together! How about this, you wait here for me, I will distract my Dad and make sure he doesn’t find out, okay?” Aiden gently patted her like comforting her, “Don’t worry, Alex is so cute, he will be fine!”

“Thank you for being so considerate.”

“You’re my mom, you gave birth to me, I should be the one thanking you, how can I let you always thank me?” Aiden smiled, his small figure walked over and hugged Clara, “Don’t worry, Alex will definitely be fine! You wait for me here, I’ll go find my dad, he won’t disturb your video call with Alex.”

Clara nodded, “Okay, thank you!* Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After Emmett took a shower, he was about to check on Clara when he suddenly saw Aiden.
