Chapter 224
“Man, who knew Emmett would turn out to be such a dish? Leah was all aflutter just thinking of
Emmett’s face. “The first time I laid eyes on Emmett I was smitten! Head over heels, you get me?”
Leah got up and fetched a pile of photos from behind the desk.
“Look, these are all the snaps I had taken of Emmett on the sly!”
“I don’t want to see them.” Elio brushed them off.
Unfazed, Leah picked up the photos one by one, caressing them gently. “Ive fantasized countless times
about him lying beside me, tenderly talking to me with affectionate words…”
“You’ve gone off your rocker!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Of course, I’ve gone off my rocker! I don’t need you to tell me that” Leah shot back at him, “And you’re
Mr. Normal, huh? What have you done for Clara, huh? You hid a kid for Clara! Ever thought of the
repercussions? What if the Melendez family finds out the whole story? What will happen to the Milburn
family then?”
Elio bit his lip, looking down. Indeed his actions had been risky.
“We’re all cut from the same cloth, aren’t we? Leah looked at the photo of Emmett and smiled, I’ve said
it before, I’m going to marry Emmett, and nobody can stop me! And Clara, she’s not good enough for
Emmett. Even if I hadn’t shown up, they wouldn’t have been happy! Over time, their marriage was
bound to hit the rocks.”
Elio rubbed his forehead, “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
“Obviously, you should use your connections to force Clara to leave Emmett and be with you!”
…Clara won’t leave the Melendez family for the sake of her two kids.”
“Well, that’s where your skills come in! You’ve done so much for Clara, and she owes you one! As long
as their relationship hits a snag. you don’t have to worry about the rest! I don’t need you to directly
cause their divorce, just create a split between them!”
Leah’s plan was all worked out. She wanted to have multiple options! If one path didn’t work, she
moved on to the next. She was determined to reach her goal.
“But how can you be sure, if Emmett and Clara divorce, he’ll marry you? You should know Emmett has
some quirks. He doesn’t like women, can’t even stand them, except for Clara!”
“You can leave that to me, I’ve got it sorted!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo you’ve planned all this.”
Elio was truly stunned by Leah’s audacity! He had thought Leah was just causing a ruckus, his main
worry being Leah blabbing about the kid. Turned out… Leah planed to completely take Clara’s place!
“Planning on playing stepmom to Aiden and Alex? That’s no cakewalk.”
“Don’t worry, Clara would never leave her kids behind!” Leah said as she worked on her nails, “And I
have zero interest in looking after their kids! That’s why I’ve decided to give Clara an exit, so she can
leave with her kids! Then, Emmett and I can have our own kids.”
Leah lightly patted Elio’s shoulder, “By the way, you’ve always been quite fond of Clara’s kids, right?
When the time comes, you can naturally become their dad! I guess I’m helping you fulfill your dream
too”
