Two Times the Charm

Chapter 429

Sophia sighed and grabbed Leah’s hand. “Look at you! Your thinking is all wrong! I’ve already told you that if you want to get along with the kids, you have to get to know them first. If you can’t even have a conversation or meet them face-to-face, how can you establish any kind of relationship?”

Right now, the last thing Leah wanted was to face those two kids. They were like ticking time bombs who might say anything at any time, potentially ruining all her plans.

But with Sophia already having said so much, it wouldn’t be right for her to refuse.

She had no choice but to nod reluctantly. “I’ll listen to you. I’ll try my best to get them to accept me sooner.”

“Good. I’ll go and talk to the kids first then.”

“Okay.”

After watching Sophia turn and leave, Leah felt like she was on a roller coaster ride.

Knowing that Emmett had allowed her to move into his room made her feel so overjoyed that she could literally have jumped for joy. But then, the thought of those two children meddling with her plans dismayed her. She needed to get them out of the picture as soon as possible. That way, she could keep Clara quiet, and her plans could proceed more smoothly.

After a busy day, Clara finally finished her work.

She returned to her room, expecting to feel tired, but instead, her mind was filled with images of Emmett and Leah. She didn’t want to speculate further, but she couldn’t help herself.

Suddenly, she noticed a pen and paper at the foot of her bed.

Yes! She could draw some designs.

At least when she was drawing, she could find some happiness.

Eagerly, she started to sketch, thinking of the questions the design department had asked her last time at the company.

At that time, she was caught off guard by Elio’s sudden confinement and didn’t have the time to integrate the questions into a new design.

Now, even though it seemed pointless to draw it, she felt it was something she needed to do.

She started drawing earnestly. She was solely focused on her design..

Rose returned after a while. When she saw that Clara was intensely concentrating, she didn’t dare disturb her and tiptoed over.

Clara was completely immersed in her work. She didn’t even notice Rose until she exclaimed in excitement, “You’re incredible! To think you can draw so many blueprints with just a pen. This building is so beautiful!”

Clara looked up in surprise. “When did you get back?”

“I’ve been back for quite some time, but you were so focused you didn’t notice me enter.” Rose winked playfully. “Where is this building supposed to be built?”

“I’m just drawing for fun.”

“What a waste! It’s a shame it can’t be built for real. I thought you were designing it for our young master.”

Clara fell silent.

This was indeed designed for Emmett, but he wouldn’t need it now, would he?

“By the way, did Leah mention anything about taking some maids out for shopping?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“No.” Rose shook her head. She was confused by the sudden question. “Why?”

Clara furrowed her brow.

She was supposed to make a move, wasn’t she? Could something have changed?

“Rose, rest here for a bit. I need to go out.” Clara quickly stood up. She was intent on finding Leah to confirm things.

Since Emmett had agreed to let Leah move into his room, there was no point in staying here. Leah would be more eager to get her out.
