Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 265

“Elio got hammered tonight.”

“Seems like he’s really got the hots for you.” Emmett squinted. “Need me to squeeze out some time to meet him?”

Clara shook her head frantically and said, “No! Emmett, if you’re angry, you can blow up at me, but you can’t go after Elio! I’m the one who owes him; I didn’t explain our relationship clearly and made him misunderstand; these are all my messes! It’s not his fault at all; you can blow up at me!”

Emmett huffed coldly, “Did you think about me when you were protecting Elio?”

“I have no romantic feelings for Elio! We’re just friends!”

“But you’re aware of Elio’s feelings for you, aren’t you?”

“I know! But isn’t it okay as long as I don’t feel the same way about him? Emmett, you’ve been around the block, and I believe you understand that what I owe Elio is hard to repay! Besides, he hasn’t done anything to hurt me; how could I just cut him off so easily?”
