Two Times the Charm

Chapter 292

“You look like you need use some exercise,” Emmett sat down and said thoughtfully, “I’ll find you a personal trainer.”

Clara glared at him, “Could you lay off a bit? I’m already exhausted every day.”

Seeing her genuinely upset. Emmett took hold of her hand and stated, “All right, all right, I messed up! I’ll tone it down.”

As the car pulled up to the Melendez family’s house, they saw Aiden reading and Sophia Melendez playing with Alex.

Upon seeing them. Sophia glanced at Clara and walked to her son’s side, and asked, “Emmett, my birthday is in a few days. Can you go to a party with me?”

Emmett instinctively looked at Clara and smiled, “Sure, what kind of party? I’ll have Clara prepare in advance!”

Upon hearing this, Sophia immediately frowned. “Just go alone! Ugh, they don’t even know Clara. It would be awkward for her! It’s enough if you go with me. It won’t take long. Half a day would suffice.”

Clara felt awkward, knowing she would become the target if Emmett disagreed!

“Emmett, just go with Sophia!”

“I won’t go to any event where I can’t bring my wife,” Emmett frowned, “If there really is such an event, I don’t think I should go!”

“She’s right. The people at the party don’t know me. Our relationship hasn’t been made public yet, and it would be really awkward if I go!” Clara quickly signaled Emmett, “Just agree; it’s not long, and it’s your mom’s birthday. Consider it sucking up to her!”

With Clara’s persuasion, Emmett finally nodded, but he felt a bit upset.

Sometimes he really wanted to know what Clara was thinking! Can’t she see that Sophia’s goal this time was to get him to meet other women?!

Was she not jealous at all?

Or, just like Taylor said, she was just submissive to him but didn’t love him.

Otherwise, why would she quickly push him to other women?

Thinking about this, Emmett’s eyes cooled down, and he strode forward.

Clara noticed his displeasure but didn’t understand why……

Shouldn’t she persuade him at this time?

Would he get angry if she were respectful to his parents?

Behind her, Sophia watched her son leave, then snorted coldly, “Don’t think that you can win my favor by doing this! There’s a gap between people! You women who marry into wealth not only can enjoy glory and wealth but also have to tolerate the demands of this status! Don’t think that by marrying into a wealthy family, everything is yours.”

“I understand. I don’t think like that……”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I must remind you!” Sophia glanced at her and sneered, then walked away.

Soon, Aiden came over and took her hand.

Clara instinctively lowered her head……

“Mom, Grandma went to the dessert shop today but didn’t see that lady! I heard Grandma seemed to be calling her. The lady said she was busy today and didn’t go to the dessert shop!”

“…you even thought of this!” Clara was surprised that Aiden was so clever.

Aiden, however, smiled calmly and said, “I know Grandma’s friends very well. She had only recently met that lady! So, I’m sure it’s her.”
