Two Times the Charm by Mr. Wilson

Chapter 418

The Melendez family had Leah still around. What if Clara’s visit to Emmett was misconstrued yet again?

To get her hands on the antidote, Clara had tried her best to avoid any encounters with Emmett, but he seemed determined to seek her out.

“Enough with the chatter! If the young master calls for you, you better get moving!” the butler grumbled, a look of impatience on his face. “Remember, don’t upset the young master. If he’s unhappy, I’ll make sure you’re not having a good time either. In the Melendez house, you’re a maid, and when orders come your way, there’s no room for refusal!”

Knowing there was no way to evade the situation, Clara nodded reluctantly.

She deliberately took a detour through the back yard to Emmett’s room. As soon as she stepped inside, before she could even approach Emmett…

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
