Chapter 141
“Mr. Melendez, I’ll be careful”
“Okay”
After the call, Emmett found Elio’s number. He wanted to dial it, but he put down his phone and left the study.
“Clara, I’m heading to the office for a bit. You keep hanging out with the kids today and go back to work when you’re rested. Emmett tied his tie and gently patted her shoulder, “I’ll be back asap, ring me if there’s anything”
“Alright, go ahead. Don’t worry about me.”
Clara watched as Emmett left, until his car disappeared from view before she turned around.
At this point, Sophia came over and whispered, “Can I talk to you for a sec?” From NôvelDrama.Org.
Clara was taken aback and quickly nodded, “Of course.”
“Don’t be nervous, I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I’m just wondering, do you genuinely love my son,
This question left Clara a bit lost for words.
Because if she said she loved Emmett now, she definitely would be lying.
Emmett had been straight with her, told her not to lie, which was obvious to anyone.
Emmett?”
“Sophia, my relationship with Emmett is a bit complicated. We’re not the typical husband and wife, we’re still getting used to each other”
Sophia gave her a look, “You’re still calling me my name?”
Mom, I’m sorry”
“It’s okay. If you told me you loved Emmett, I’d be more worried actually. The fact that you’re being honest tells me you’re a person of integrity Sophia took her hand, “I only have one son, and he’s a bit quirky. Your journey together is long, there will be bumps and struggles, and I hope you can weather them together, understand each other.”
Clara nodded, “I understand.”
“I’m not just saying this to you, I’ll also tell Emmett, Plus, Emmett has two kids, you’re stepping into a mother’s role right off the bat, I know it’s a lot to handle.”
Clara didn’t say anything, she was afraid she might say something wrong.
“But when I see how much the kids adore you, it warms my heart. I know you must treat them well, or else they wouldn’t be so fond of you.” Speaking of her grandkids, Sophia couldn’t help but sigh, “Alex is alright, he’s been with his mom since he was little. Even though it’s not as plush as the Melendez - household, he wouldn’t lack motherly love. But Aiden… he’s really had it rough. When he started to speak, he always called for his mom, and it breaks my
heart every time he does that.”
Just thinking about this scene, Clara felt a lump in her throat.
She owed Aiden so much!
“You see how mature Aiden is. The more mature he is, the more it breaks my heart. I don’t expect you to treat him like his biological mother, but I hope you can be extra nice to him, let him feel the love of a mother.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Aiden as if he’s my own!”
Sophia nodded, relieved, “Hearing that puts my mind at ease! Also, don’t think of Alex and Aiden as a burden! The Melendez family is super stable financially, raising two kids won’t be a burden for you guys. Me and their grandpa can take care of them! You guys can have more kids if you want, or not, It’s up to you, we won’t interfere.”
