Two Times the Charm

Chapter 428

Clara bit her lip hard. “Thank you, ma’am.”

With that, Clara walked away, unsure of how she was even moving.

It felt as though everything had disappeared along with Emmett.

Sophia rushed towards Leah’s room in a hurry.

After reaching the door, she was about to knock when she heard Leah talking on the phone about something to do with the children.

Could it be that she was planning to take Aiden and Alex somewhere? NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Or maybe she was figuring out a way to get the boys to accept her.

Sophia was genuinely happy, feeling that her decision was truly wise. Her son would thank her one day.

She knocked on the door, and Leah’s voice abruptly stopped.

A few seconds passed before Leah opened the door, looking a bit flustered.

But Sophia didn’t notice; instead, she blurted out, “Guess what? My son has finally come around. He said you can move into his room tonight!”

Leah was taken aback. “Rea… Really? Why so sudden?”

She couldn’t believe it. She thought that only after Clara left would Emmett gradually allow her to approach him.

“You think I would lie? And you know who brought you this message from Emmett? It was Clara!”

Upon hearing this, Leah hesitated. “Sophia, don’t tell me Emmett did this out of spite? He doesn’t really want to accept me.”

“Sweetheart.” Sophia took her hand and spoke earnestly. “You say you and my son haven’t had a chance to get to know each other, so how could he genuinely like you? But if you can bear with it, then it doesn’t matter if he’s doing this out of spite or whatever. Now you’ll get the chance to be close to him. If you keep staying in separate rooms and not approaching him, how can you two get to know each other?”

Leah obediently nodded. “You’re right. I was shortsighted.”

“Good girl! I know it must be uncomfortable for you to move into Emmett’s room in this way. It’s something any woman would feel uneasy about, but it might just be a blessing in disguise. If you can win Emmett’s heart in bed or even bear him another child, who else but you could take the place of Mrs. Melendez?”

“You always think things through.” Leah lowered her eyes. She seemed a bit sad, but she still agreed. “For the sake of staying together with the boys for a long time, I’m willing to endure any hardships.”

“That’s the spirit! Sweetie, what kind of hardships can you suffer by my side? It’s just that my son hasn’t yet healed from the hurt Clara caused him; that’s why you’re being wronged. Once he realizes how good you are, what will Clara be worth?”

Leah nodded. “Alright, I’ll move in tonight!”

“That’s my girl! Oh, by the way.” Sophia suddenly spoke. “I’m taking Aiden and Alex to the amusement park today. You should come with us.”

Leah hesitated. “I don’t think I should go. They’re quite resistant to me. What if they don’t enjoy themselves? Wouldn’t it be my fault? They finally get a chance to have fun, so I think I’ll sit this one out.”
