Chapter 98
*Sweetle, there are so many great women out there! Why are you so hung up on this one?
I’m not trying to break you guys up or anything, but she’s really not the right fit for the
Milbur family.”
“Whether she fits into the Milbum family or not isn’t for me to decide, all I care about is
whether I like her! I like Clara, and it’s got nothing to do with the Milburn
family
Olivia sighed at her son’s stubbomness. “So what does Clara think? Is she up for marrying
you too?”
Elio looked downcast at her question.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt*She hasn’t agreed. Clara has the same fears as you that her past will have negative
effects on me, so she hasn’t said yes.”
Heaning this. Olivia warmed up to Clara a bit
She had assumed Clara was like those other women who eager to lie the knot with
someone who would accept her.
“Ah, I just want you to be happy, because you’re my only son! How about this? I’ll find a
chance to meet Clara and have a chat with her. What do you think?”
Elio looked at his mother, “Mom, don’t go say things you shouldn’t to Clara! She’s already
worried about this If you bring it up, there’s no hope for me and Clara. Id regret it for the
rest of my life!”
“Why would I go and say something pointless? I just want to get to know her, we’ll have to
meet sooner or later, right? I’m really curious about her and want to learn what kind of
woman has caught the eye of the Milburn family’s son.”
“Let’s talk about it later, she’s stressed out about the whole Milburn family thing right
now.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead”
At night, Clara put Alex to bed, then went to the courtyard for a walk to clear her head.
So much has happened lately.
She wanted to run away, but she just couldn’t.
“Clara, is Alex asleep?”
Elio appeared out of nowhere.
Clara nodded, “Yeah, finally.”

I can’t sleep. Clara couldn’t hide her pain, “When I close my eyes, all I see is the Melendez
family taking Alex!”
“Clara…” Elio walked over, hesitated, then slowly said, “Have you thought about another
way? You could be honest with the Melendez family Maybe they’ll let you keep them
because you’re their mother? Or, you could possibly marry into the Melendez family.”
Clara interrupted immediately, “I don’t want to be part of the Melendez family! So that’s
out of the question! You know how small the chance is that I get custody.”
“Why not give it a try? Maybe Mr. Melendez will take a liking to you? Then you could be
with both Aiden and Alex!”
Although he really didn’t want Clara to go down that path, it didn’t seem like a bad idea
right now.
At least it would keep the kids safe, and she and Alex wouldn’t have to keep hiding.
