Chapter 247

Alex glanced at his brother, “I think you’re overthinking it, bro! Mom and Dad are all lovey-dovey right now, Mr.

Milburn doesn’t stand a

chance!”

“You’re probably right,” Aiden sat down and pulled out his textbook, “Let’s get back to studying! No point in

worrying about stuff we can’t control.”

All they could do was help their parents by making sure Alex did well in school.

At the mention of studying, Alex immediately looked gloomy.

“Can we take a break today? I’m kinda tired.”

“No; remember our deal? Don’t you want your candy next week?”

“…Yeah.”

Under the irresistible temptation of sweets, Alex had no choice but to agree!

“Then get over here and hit the books, I saw you whispering with a classmate during class today.”

“I was helping the other students,” Alex grinned, picking up his book and walking over, “She was asking me about a

problem!”

“If I believe that, I wouldn’t be your big brother,” Aiden shook his head in disbelief.

“It’s true! I was just helping others for fun.”

“I bet you have a crush on that girl in our class!”

Alex’s smile instantly disappeared, he denied it vehemently, “Are you kidding me? I was just helping her out

because I’m nice! She’s so not my type, if anyone has a crush, it’s her on me!”

Aiden was speechless, “I saw you going over to talk to her.”

“No way!”

“In that case, to avoid any distractions, how about I ask the teacher to have you sit next to me tomorrow?” Aiden

suggested mischievously.

Alex was quick to reject the idea, “No way! I’m with you all the time, if I’m with you at school too, I’ll go crazy from

your nagging! I’m fine with the girl! Oh, weren’t you supposed to help me with my homework? Let’s get started! I

can’t wait!”

This was Clara’s first time being a site supervisor, everything was so new and intriguing.

Emmett couldn’t help but worry, so he canceled a couple of meetings to accompany her.

“I told you, I’m fine, but you just won’t listen,” Clara’s hand was held tightly by Emmett, even on an uneven path,

she didn’t have to worry about falling.

“How can I not worry? Look at this construction site, it’s full of hazards,” Emmett frowned, putting a hard hat on

Clara, “As a designer, you don’t really need to be here! Actual construction is someone else’s job.”

“I want to learn as much as I can! If possible, I want to hear the workers’ opinions. Maybe in my next design, I can

incorporate what they think is good or simplify things,” Clara smiled, “If I only know how to direct from the office, I

may not come up with good designs. I think it’s better to consider the opinions of the masses.”

Emmett sighed, “You really are dedicated.”

“Don’t worry! I won’t neglect our kids!”

“What about their dad?”

Clara went silent, her face flushing slightly.

“Haven’t we agreed already?”

“So, I can only have your body, but not your heart, is that it?”
