Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 143

Emmett stood up, got himself a glass of red wine and savored it slowly. “The kids are getting along fine with their stepmom now. You showing up will just stir up trouble”

Leah stormed over, her emotions running high. “But a stepmom will never be their real mom! You need to think about how the kids feel too. You can’t just be happy as their dad and assume they’re happy tool They can’t possibly prefer their stepmom over their real mom! You get what I’m saying, Mr. Melendez, right?”

“Are you lecturing me?” Emmett raised an eyebrow.

Leah quickly looked down, “No… I’m just… Whenever I think about the kids, I feel so down! I can’t eat, can’t sleep, I’m having a hard time holding back my longing for them! Mr. Melendez, I beg you, even if it’s just a distant glimpse of the kids, is that okay?”

After a moment, Emmett finished off his wine and said, “Nope. Ricardo, show her out”

Leah was stunned.
