Emmett held her hand and suddenly smiled. “Chill out, I was just messing around, didn’t you notice?”
“Alright, since you brought it up, I’ll do as you say! We’ll keep things under wraps at work, but at home… you owe me some compensation!”
Clara blushed, “Emmett, I googled it, it’s not good for your health to do it too frequently! You need need… some rest…”
Seeing his adorable wife in front of him, Emmett couldn’t help but laugh.
“So you’ve been doing some naughty research on your own.”
I, I just, casually checked!” Clara felt her face burning up. “Oh come on, stop teasing me! I need to continue my drawing, go have your meal! When I’m done, I’ll take a cab home!”
“No worries, I’m not hungry anyway. I’ll stay here and accompany you! We can head home together after you finish work.”
All the things Clara said to him were in vain!
“If you’re here watching, I can’t focus on my drawing!”
“Well, then join me for a meal.”
“…Alright, let’s eat” Clara put down her pen, picked up her bag from the table, “We can leave now.”
Emmett nodded and prepared to leave.
Clara suddenly spoke, “Uhm…you go first, I’ll meet you in the underground parking lot later!”
“Please!” Clara blinked, giving him a pleading look.
Emmett sighed, “In my whole life, I’ve never done anything sneaky! Now it’s hilarious that even going out with my own wife feels like I’m committing a
crime.”
“Please!”
The two arrived at the restaurant one after another. Fortunately, Emmett had booked a private room, otherwise, Clara would be very anxious.
“The food here is great, eat more.”
Clara nodded, “Yeah, let’s take some home for the kids later! Alex will love it, and Aiden should too.”
Emmett raised an eyebrow, “You seem to know Alex well.”
Clara paused, saying. “That’s because Alex is more clingy, he tells me everything that’s on his mind! But I don’t seem to understand Aiden as much because he’s introverted and doesn’t like sharing his inner world with others.”
“Should I talk to Aiden when I get back?”
Clara quickly shook her head, “No need! I don’t think we need to push Aiden! He’s still young, and I don’t want him to resist me! It’s better to take things slow, I know we can’t rush this.”
“Clara.” Emmett looked at her, silent for a few seconds before speaking again, “I feel it’s unfair to you to become a stepmother as soon as you married me! So if you have any trouble with the kids, just tell me!
No matter right or wrong, reasonable or not, I will treat it fairly! Because I know you’re a kind person, and the kids also like you.”
“Of course they like me!” Because I’m their biological mother!
“You’ve worked hard, being a stepmother isn’t easy”
“No problem, I don’t feel hard at all!”
