Clara screamed instinctively, her face and heart filled with fear.

Emmett reached out his broad arm to pull her in, his voice deep and calming. “Chill out,

it’s probably just the weather messing with the circuit.”

“Okay.”

Clara nodded, still a bit uneasy inside but felt a bit better with Emmett by her side.

Ever since that night, she had developed a fear of the dark… Now, she always left her

bedside lamp on, never turning it off. The sudden darkness in the elevator

reminded her of that night.

Moments later, the lights in the elevator came back and everything returned to normal,

except Clara was still in Emmett’s arms, trembling slightly.

“All good”

Emmett looked down at her, his voice was soothing.

It took Clara a moment to realize that her head was still resting on Emmett’s shoulder. She

quickly pulled away from him and apologized, “Mr. Melendez, I’m sorry. It happened so

suddenly and I’m kinda scared of the dark..

“Mm”

Emmett simply responded, his face expressionless and voice emotionless.

As the elevator descended, Clara consciously stepped back to lean against the elevator

wall. She was still a bit scared, but she couldn’t rely on Emmett anymore and had to rely

on the elevator for support.

Without turning around, Emmett saw Clara’s posture and pale face through the elevator

door.

“Are you really scared of the dark?”

He was curious. Clara didn’t seem like the type to be easily scared. As for why he, who

normally didn’t care, would suddenly ask such a question, he was also not

sure.

“Huh?”

It took Clara a while to realize that Emmett was asking her. “I… it was just too sudden!”

She lowered her head, unsure how to explain.

Seeing that Clara was hesitant and unwilling to speak, Emmett didn’t press further. Just

then, the elevator door opened and he said, “Let’s go,” before walking out first

Watching his retreating figure and feeling his strong aura, Clara felt a sense of familiarity…

She quickly shook her head, thinking it was the darkness reminding her of the past.

In the car.

Clara leaned against the window, watching the heavy rain outside and feeling a bit

anxious.

It had been almost two hours since the kindergarten ended… The traffic was jammed and

she was worried about the kids. She glanced at Emmett from time to time but never urged

him, knowing it wouldn’t help. No matter how much they were in a hurry, they couldn’t fly

over the traffic.

Just as she was thinking this, Clara saw Emmett make a turn at the intersection and drive

in another direction, speeding up.

“Mr. Melendez, you….” She wanted to say that this was not the way to the kindergarten.

“In a hurry, aren’t we?” Emmett simply voiced her thoughts.

Clara closed her lips and remained silent. From Emmett’s words, she should have guessed

that he was planning to take a different route. On the rest of the journey, Emmett drove

very fast, running who knows how many red lights. Despite Clara’s attempts to persuade

him to slow down, he only told her to sit tight and stay

quiet.
