Chapter 28
Clara was actually pretty baffled too. She had no idea Emmett had such a particular habit
But he really didn’t seem to interact with women much Even during business negotiations,
if there wem women present he’d always keep his distance.
But that’s not a mason for her to marry Emmett
“Mr. Melendez, there must be a reason for this. Maybe he’s got a special lady he’s into
Marrying him wouldn’t be right in just a secretary. I’m no match for a big family like the
Melendez family”
She never thought shed become Patrick’s daughter–in–law and she didn’t dare to think
about it
“Are you reacting met Patrick raised an eyebrow
Tm not rejecting just think this is unreasonable”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“If I say it’s reasonable, it is”
Clara was left speechless, so she dropped a bomb
“Mr Melendez, I have a son”
At this Patrick’s brows furrowed “You have a child at such a young age?”
“Yes, so I really can’t marry your son I appreciate your kind intentions” Clara added, “I
think your son is a very outstanding man. He should find a more suitable partner You
might want to have more private talks
with him
Patrick sighed, “I wish he would just talk to me. But never mind, let’s forget this
conversation ever happened. If you’re not interested in beng with my son, I hope you’ll
stay away and avoid causing any scandals for the Melendez family. It would damage the
reputation of our entire family”
Clara quickly nodded, showing her understanding “Don’t worry, I get it
As Patrick walked away, Clara felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been worried
that Patrick wouldn’t accept the fact that she already had a child. And she hadn’t even
thought about marriage get. Even if she did want to find a partner someday she wouldn’t
choose someone from a wealthy family She didn’t want the media prying into her personal
life. If her son’s identity was revealed, she might even risk losing custody of him, as per
their previous agreement
Clara let out another sigh, relieved that her fears had been unfounded.
When she returned to the office. Emmett was already there
He was unbuttoning his shirt, and his deep voice rang out, “Where were you?*
I was making copies.”
My father was here
Clara really wanted to roll her eyes
He knew all along, so why did he ask her?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What did he say to you?” Emmett suddenly looked up at her.
Clara hesitated. “Your father came to check on you.”
“Did he ask you to get women close to me?”
Clara immediately shook her head. “No!”
“So what was it? You’re not going to marry me, are you?”
Clara opened her mouth, but no words came out
Emmett raised his eyebrows, “Did I guess right?”
“No, no! Your father was just worried about you! He said you were too tired and asked me
to remind you to rest more!”
Clara breathed a sigh of relie
Emmett calmly handed her a document, “Make ten copies of this and take them to the
conference room”
“Okay” Clara took it, and saw
There was Taylor’s name on it
