Two Times the Charm

Chapter 257

Elio clutched his fists. He really wanted to punch Leah right now, but he couldn’t… Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Elio, stop wasting your time and just listen to me. I’ve told you I’d rather see you with Clara than Taylor,” Leah smirked. “We’re family,

after all,”

“I wouldn’t dare to consider myself family with a dishonest person like you! Leah, for a woman to be as twisted as you are, haven’t you ever considered that even if you marry Emmett, he won’t love you? He’s not a fool and knows exactly what he’s getting into.”

“You’re worrying too much about this! My relationship with Emmett is our business; you don’t need to stick your nose in it! Why are you acting like you don’t want them to divorce?” Leah paused before continuing, “I really don’t get it; what’s in it for you? Do you actually think you’re a martyr, ready to hand over the woman you love?”

“Leah! If you can’t say anything nice, then just shut up! And stop calling me!”

“Then I’ll just contact Taylor! I promise I won’t bother you with calls anymore.”

With that, Leah was about to hang up.

Elio quickly said, “If you contact Taylor, I’ll spill the beans to Emmett. Let him see you for who you really are! Do you think he’ll still have feelings for you after knowing everything you’ve done?”

“Heh, go ahead! If you spill, I might just admire you!” Leah chuckled, “You said I’m a bad woman; what do you think I’m capable of when cornered. Don’t forget that I’ve got your parents in my hands!”

“Leah! You better not lay a finger on them! I’m warning you, don’t push me, or you’ll regret it!”

“Elio, I don’t want to fight with you, but you’re not as easy to manipulate as Taylor; I don’t have time to argue with you! I’m exhausted; I’ll take the path of least resistance! That’s normal, right?”

“You always have an excuse!”

“I need reasons to do things! Elio, since you’re having trouble sleeping, why not consider giving up Clara? I’m really tired; I need sleep! Good night.”

With that, she hung up, not leaving Elio a chance to say anything.

“That Leah, I’m so…”

But now, he knew it was too late.

The next morning, Clara woke up to find the man beside her was gone.

Sometimes, she really admired Emmett! How could he go on all night and still get up so early in the morning?

After doing her morning routine, Clara came out to see the breakfast prepared by the maid. Emmett wasn’t there, probably busy in his study; the kids were not around and only Sophia was there.

Feeling a bit awkward, Clara said, “I think I forgot something; I’ll go back to the room.”

Sophia asked, “Are you planning to avoid me every time you see me?”

“…” Clara felt a bit guilty, like being caught doing something wrong, “Of course not! I just really forgot something…”
