Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 355

Chapter 355

Clara suddenly chuckled and said, “You wanna know why?”

“Why?” Elio raised an eyebrow.

“I tested the waters with Emmett before. He said he can’t stand being fooled. Plus, Emmett’s had a beef with you

already. I was afraid that if I spilled the beans, you and your family would get dragged into it.”

Elio didn’t expect that to be the reason…

“Emmett’s always been steadfast. He won’t let you off easily. At the very least, the Milburn family has totally pissed

off Emmett. I didn’t want to get you in trouble because of my issues.”

Elio took a step back, “So you kept quiet because of me? Because you were afraid that I’d get backlashed by

Emmett?”

“I wouldn’t put it all that way… I believe you helped me out of pity at first, out of kindness. No matter what

happened later, I remember you were ready to help me without hesitation.”

After hearing Clara’s words, Elio was deeply moved.

“Without you, Alex and I couldn’t have lived that peaceful life for so long. I would probably be moping around,

missing my two kids, even considering ending my life… It was because of you, because of Alex, that I kept going.”

Elio hung his head, not knowing what to say.

“So, Elio, I’ve always been grateful to you. I consider you my best friend. But I didn’t expect you to do such a thing!”

“I’m sorry…”

“You don’t need to apologize. I’ve thought about it, and I can’t really blame you. Leah’s been threatening you with

your parents for a while now, hasn’t she? You’ve probably been under her thumb for a long time, holding off until

now. I believe you must be suffering too.”

Elio knew Clara’s understanding made him feel worse…

Even at this point, she could still put herself in his shoes.

And him? What had he done?

Elio was impulsive and wanted to tell her everything.

But then Clara suddenly stood up and asked, “Can I ask you for two last favors?”

“What is it?”

“First, can you somehow make Emmett think I’m dead?”

Elio was a little confused, “Don’t you want him to save you anymore?”

“I don’t. Even if he rescues me, what then? How can I face him? I’m not worthy of him!”

Thinking of Emmett’s previous help, Clara felt as if her heart was being cut with a knife!

The pain was so severe that she could only take deep breaths to avoid being overwhelmed.

Hearing this, Elio was scared, “You’re not planning to do anything stupid, are you? You still have two kids!”

“That’s the second favor I need from you. Leah is plotting as we speak, and my two children are definitely on her

hit list! After she gets rid of me, she’ll find Aiden and Alex in her way.”

“Uh…” Elio pursed his lips, and this indeed sounded like something Leah would do.

“So, can you help me bring them back too? I promise I’ve let go of the idea of offing myself. I need to stay strong

for the sake of my two kids! But I really can’t face Emmett again. I just hope to find a quiet place to live with my two

kids and live a simple life.”

Just now, she sat here, contemplating a lot.

Upon learning the news, Clara was utterly desperate. The only thought left in her mind was to end it all!
