Two Times the Charm

Chapter 277

Chapter 277

Clara returned to her office, plonked her phone down, and grabbed the design draft off the table.

Maybe Ricardo was onto something. The more she meddled, the more complicated things got!

Some things might have been resolved eons ago without her being all up in their business.

“Ah, screw it. Work is more important. As for the rest…I don’t want to think about it!”

In a café near the construction site.

Taylor had been waiting for God knows how long before Emmett’s car pulled up.

He walked into the café. Besides Taylor, there wasn’t a single soul in there, not even a waiter.

Guess Taylor was all prepared for today.

Emmett smiled, “Mr. Atwood, I thought you’d come looking for me sooner.”

“Sorry to let you down. I probably should’ve found you earlier!” Taylor greeted him, “Mr. Melendez, I’m honored you could make it today.”

“I don’t have all day. Spit it out.” Emmett ignored his outstretched hand and plonked himself down on a chair.

Taylor’s hand hung in the air momentarily before he smoothly drew it back, slightly embarrassed. He turned around and sat opposite Emmett.

“Mr. Melendez, I’m into Clara.”

Emmett’s hand, reaching for his cup, paused, and with some surprise, he said, “Oh? I’m curious, what about Clara do you like?”

“We were an item before. My mom caused a ruckus when I got into an accident, and that’s when we broke up! No, to be more precise, I never broke up with her! I just lost my memory and forgot about her.”

“Have you told Clara about this?”

“… Yes, I have.”

“And have you regained your memory?”

“Not yet.”

Emmett suddenly laughed, “So, you’re here asking me to hand Clara over to you?”

Taylor furrowed his brows, “Clara is not a thing that can be given or taken. I’m just hoping you could help us!”

“Isn’t this something Clara should decide herself? If she’s always been in your heart, why need my help?” Emmett spread his hands wide, “I’ve never restricted Clara’s freedom, let alone locked her up. If she loves you, she can go find you!”

Taylor clenched his fists, “There’s a misunderstanding between us!”

“Is this misunderstanding caused by me?”

Emmett put down his teacup and stood up, “Mr. Atwood, if you want to pick a fight with the Melendez Group over this, don’t blame me for not being merciful!”

As he turned to leave, Taylor hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up and grabbed Emmett.

“Name your conditions, and I’ll agree! I just want Clara! Emmett, you can’t be with Clara anymore; you’ll hurt her!”

Emmett raised an eyebrow as if he had heard a funny joke, “Hurt her? I don’t know where you got that from.”

“Do you know…” Taylor’s speech was cut off midway.

“Know what?”

Do you know that I’m the one in Clara’s heart, that she’s always loved me! She bore so many injustices because of me in the past, but she still kept vigil at the hospital. Mr. Melendez, can you accept a woman who doesn’t have you in her heart?”

“You’re not a mind reader. How would you know if I’m not in Clara’s heart?”

“Has she ever said she loves you?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Emmett’s body stiffened instantly.
