Chapter 98
*Sweetle, there are so many great women out there! Why are you so hung up on this one? I’m not trying to break you guys up or anything, but she’s really not the right fit for the Milbur family.”
“Whether she fits into the Milbum family or not isn’t for me to decide, all I care about is whether I like her! I like Clara, and it’s got nothing to do with the Milburn
family
Olivia sighed at her son’s stubbomness. “So what does Clara think? Is she up for marrying you too?”
Elio looked downcast at her question.
*She hasn’t agreed. Clara has the same fears as you that her past will have negative effects on me, so she hasn’t said yes.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Heaning this. Olivia warmed up to Clara a bit
She had assumed Clara was like those other women who eager to lie the knot with someone who would accept her.
“Ah, I just want you to be happy, because you’re my only son! How about this? I’ll find a chance to meet Clara and have a chat with her. What do you think?”
Elio looked at his mother, “Mom, don’t go say things you shouldn’t to Clara! She’s already worried about this If you bring it up, there’s no hope for me and Clara. Id regret it for the rest of my life!”
“Why would I go and say something pointless? I just want to get to know her, we’ll have to meet sooner or later, right? I’m really curious about her and want to learn what kind of woman has caught the eye of
the Milburn family’s son.”
“Let’s talk about it later, she’s stressed out about the whole Milburn family thing right now.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead”
At night, Clara put Alex to bed, then went to the courtyard for a walk to clear her head.
So much has happened lately.
She wanted to run away, but she just couldn’t.
“Clara, is Alex asleep?”
Elio appeared out of nowhere.
Clara nodded, “Yeah, finally.”
“Why don’t you get some sleep too? Look at you, you’re as pale as a ghost!”
I can’t sleep. Clara couldn’t hide her pain, “When I close my eyes, all I see is the Melendez family taking Alex!”
“Clara…” Elio walked over, hesitated, then slowly said, “Have you thought about another way? You could be honest with the Melendez family Maybe they’ll let you keep them because you’re their mother? Or, you could possibly marry into the Melendez family.”
Clara interrupted immediately, “I don’t want to be part of the Melendez family! So that’s out of the question! You know how small the chance is that I get custody.”
“Why not give it a try? Maybe Mr. Melendez will take a liking to you? Then you could be with both Aiden and Alex!”
Although he really didn’t want Clara to go down that path, it didn’t seem like a bad idea right now.
At least it would keep the kids safe, and she and Alex wouldn’t have to keep hiding.
