Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 201

Emmett dialed Sophia’s number, and after a few rings, Sophia’s voice came through, “Emmett, what’s up?”

“Mom, do you remember the pastry shop Aiden and Alex are crazy about? I’m thinking of grabbing some stuff from there”

“No need, I’m already here” Sophia chuckled, “I bumped into that lady we met here last time, we’re having a chat. Are you coming over?”

Emmett glanced at Clara, “Nah, you go ahead and buy, we’ll head straight home to be with the kids.”

“Alright! Alex got a perfect score in the exam today, and he is very happy at home! You should give him a good compliment after you go back” “Ok.”

After hanging up, Clara asked, “Alex got a perfect score?”

“That’s right! Aiden was also doing a great job, being able to tutor Alex so well.” Clara sighed, “To be fair, Alex is pretty sharp too, he’s just not as focused and hardworking as Aiden. Alex gets distracted by shiny new things.”
