Two Times the Charm

Chapter 187

“What happened to your mom?” Emmett raised an eyebrow, looking at his son, and probably guessed the reason.

Aiden pulled a face, his voice firm, 1 don’t want Granny to keep misunderstanding Mom! Grandma always thought mom would abuse me and my brother, but she’s never done that! Dad, you’re not home often, so you don’t know Granny has been talking nonsense to Mom.”

Emmett paused for a moment.

He knew this was the issue.

“Aiden, your mom and I already had a chat about this.”

“Well, what did Mom say?” Aiden asked, then grimaced, “Did she say… she can put up with it?”

Emmett nodded, “Yeah.”

Seems like his son really understood his mom!

“Mom told me that before, but I can tell she’s not comfortable deep down! I tried to talk to Granny about it, but no matter what I said, she always said! was too young and didn’t understand! I’m really upset, Aiden’s face was full of frustration, “Last time, I even saw Mom crying! But Granny still insisted she’s our step–mom and needs to remind herself of that so she treats us right.”

Emmett picked up his son, “Aiden, do you really like Clara as your mom this much?”

Aiden nodded vigorously. “Of course I do! Mom’s really good to us!”

“Then leave this to me, you focus on your studies.” Emmett smiled and ruffled his son’s hair, “I won’t let your mom keep getting upset! I’ll go talk to your Granny this afternoon about it.”

Aiden asked, “Really? Dad, you’re willing to help Mom?”

“Absolutely! Dad also wants Mom to always be a part of our family.”

“That’s great! What Dad said must be more useful than me. Grandma always says I’m too young and whatever I want to tell her, she just replies with that!” “Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Emmett said, satisfied.

Seeing how much his son liked Clara, it proved he was right to marry her!

She was just like the woman he imagined, treating both kids well.

After Clara had washed and eaten, she kissed the kids and headed to work. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Lately, she was even dreaming about drawing design drafts!

Until she finished, she’d probably feel stressed.

“Ms. Calloway, you’re here so early” Ricardo was surprised to see Clara.

The boss wasn’t even at work yet! Usually, didn’t they come together?

“Yes! Mr. Melendez is still showering, so I snuck over.” Clara laughed, waving the design in her hand, “I have a new idea today and want to draw it sooner! If I wait for him at home, I don’t know when I will wait until I am very anxious.”

“Do you really like drawing design drafts?” Ricardo looked puzzled at the draft in her hand, “I remember in university, I’d get a headache just watching my classmates do this! If I had to do this job, I’d probably

go crazy.”

Clara smiled, “Everyone has different interests and abilities! I don’t have your superpowers! When Matt, the housekeeper is not around, you handle all the business in the company. I really admire you!”
