Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 485

In Clara's eyes, Elio's hesitation was a sign of uncertainty, and with a fierce resolve tightening her chest, she whispered, "Elio, I'm pregnant with your child!"

The words hit Elio like a punch to the gut.

She knew about the pregnancy!

And worse, she had misunderstood, thinking it was his.

Clara met his gaze squarely and said, "It was that night. If something really happened between us, then this child must be from that night! Because I took a test when I was with Emmett, and it was negative, and then I was deceived by you, and that... that happened!"

She had never intended to tell Elio, but now, for Emmett's sake, she was willing to do anything!

Even if it meant betraying Elio, even if it meant she could never disentangle her life from Elio’s!

Elio just stared at Clara, dumbfounded, "You weren't planning to keep the baby, were you?"

Clara's lips quivered, she could lie to Elio, but she didn't want to, "Right, I just found out about the pregnancy, and I was planning to... to terminate it!"

"Because the child is mine, not Emmett's?"

Clara bit her lip, "You know the situation we're in. If I have this child, you'll be dragged into this mess forever, so I..."

"Why did you come to me then? Why tell me all this?"
