Chapter 169
“You’re a Calloway too! That’s a rare last name, same as my daughter–in–law
“Oh, really? What a coincidence!” Leah chuckled, “I have some stuff to take care of, have a nice day”
Sophia Melendez waved quickly. “Same to you. You’re a good girl, if you ever need help, don’t hesitate
to approach us, the Melendez family I’ll make sure to repay you”
Thank you!”
Leah left the pastry shop, lightly touching her red lips.
Seems like it’s not a good idea to mess with Emmett Melendez, then… his mother probably wouldn’t be
so fond of Clara Calloway, would she?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBack at the Melendez residence, as soon as Clara and Emmett walked through the door, Alex ran out
like a clingy puppy
But this time was different, Aiden was trailing behind him.
“Dad, Mom! You’re finally back! Grandma bought us some super tasty pastries today, I ate so much I
don’t even want dinner!” Alex rambled on, “Aiden thought you guys might like them too, so he saved
some for you.”
Clara playfully tapped his little nose, “What about you? Did you save some for us?”
Alex was taken aback, then he squinted his eyes and gave a mischievous grin, “1… I loved them too
much! Besides, Aiden saved some for you, that should be enough for adults!”
Emmett was helpless too, patting his little head, “If you guys like them, I’ll send someone to buy more.”
As he finished speaking, Sophia walked out of the house, naturally scooping Alex into her arms.
“Those pastries are limited edition, once sold out, they won’t make more! Our share today was given to
us by a kind girl.
“In that case, I’ll send someone to line up early tomorrow! Until they’ve had their fill.”
“Really?!” Alex was so excited he wanted to jump up.
Aiden, however, spoke calmly.
“You can’t keep eating the same yummy food, you’ll get tired of it soon.”
“Your brother is right.” Clara moved next to Sophia, extending her hand, “Mom, let me hold him. He’s
heavy, don’t tire yourself.”
Sophia glanced at her, but showed no intention of letting go.

take good care of them. Don’t let them be bullied just because they don’t have a mother.”
Emmett caught the undertone in her words and quickly intervened, “Mom, what are you implying? Clara
has never done anything to make us feel like she would bully them because they don’t have their
biological mother”
“All the better then. I was just mentioning it, no harm intended!” Sophia said with a smile, then turned to
Clara, “Don’t take it to heart! I’m just straightforward! These two kids are my world! If they’re mistreated,
it’s like I’m being mistreated! I’m just saying this in advance to maintain peace in our family, you don’t
mind, do you?”
Clara waved her off, “Of course not!”
At this point, Emmett, with a stern face, said, “Mom, can I speak with you in the study?”
