Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 74

Clara turned pale as if struck by lightning.

She stared at Darren in front of her, unable to say a word, but her lips kept trembling.

Seeing her like this, Darren's eyes immediately turned red, and he shook her even more violently, "Tell me! Why didn't you explain it! Why do you allow me to torture and insult you like this!"

Darren was going crazy now.

He couldn't describe his mood at all when he learned the truth that two years ago, Clara was framed by someone on purpose and she was forced to do those stuff.

He was heartbroken, and he was so sad when he knew that Clara has endured so much in silence.

He regretted that not only did he not help Clara when he needed him the most, but he also exposed her wounds, again and again, insulted her, and hurt her.

He was so angry that it had been a while since he and Clara met again, but she just kept tolerating his derision against her and never explained a word.

Because he was too angry, after Darren learned all this, his first reaction was to go to ask Clara, even if Clara was at Horace's house now, he would rush over to find her!

But he didn't expect that when he just left his office, he saw Clara coming to work.

In an instant, he didn't care that there were so many eyes around him, he just rushed over like crazy and questioned Clara.

Because he was so emotional, he even forgot that Clara was still injured, and he grabbed her with some force. Suddenly, Clara was painful as he pulled her, and her face was distorted and turned pale.

Clara's pale face finally made Darren calm down a bit. He immediately released his hand, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you still have wounds."

Clara had calmed down a little from the shock at this time. She glanced at the shocked audience watching this drama, and whispered to Darren, "No matter what happened, let's go to the office and tell me."

Darren also realized that he was a little too impulsive at this time. He nodded and walked into his office with Clara one after the other.

As soon as the two of them left, the entire office exploded.

"My God, what happened just now? I was like a TV show! So the previous rumors are all true. Clara really had a history with Mr. Kirkland?"

"That incident was originally true. But it was said earlier that the two broke up because Clara prostituted when she was at school, but Mr. Kirkland just said that it was a misunderstanding two years ago?"

"So Clara didn't do that kind of thing? Oh, I told you, we've known her for two years, for such a good girl, there's no way she would do such a dirty thing!"

Diane, who was sitting aside, heard everyone talking about what happened just now, and the weather vane changed from scorning Clara to being sympathetic. She couldn't help clenching her teeth and stood up.

"Ah, Diane, where are you going?"

"I'm not feeling well! Gotta take a leave and go home!"

...

Meanwhile, in Darren's office.

Clara sat on the sofa with a pale face, watching Darren in the room, walking around non-stop, the two of them didn't speak for a while.

In the end, Clara sighed and said, "Darren, don't be so emotional."

She knew that Darren only walked around like this when he was emotionally unstable.

Darren stopped abruptly and looked at Clara, his cheeks still tense, "Clara, why didn't you tell me that you were framed two years ago?"

Clara's eyes flickered for a moment, "You knew everything?"

"Yes, I knew all of it!" Darren stood in front of Clara and growled, "Why didn't you say anything? So many times, every time I... said such horrible things to you, why didn't you explain it?"

"Didn't I explain?" Clara said abruptly, looking up at Darren with clear eyes, "And even if I explain, will you really believe me?"

Darren's body trembled and instinctively wanted to say "Yes", but when he said it, he suddenly thought that he had insulted Clara again and again, so righteous, so cruel, he suddenly couldn't say it.

Clara looked at him and smiled lightly, with a bit of bitterness, "Darren, I don't know how you came to know about it back then, I only know that when I was the most vulnerable and needed you the most at that time, you left without even saying goodbye. Do you think I really don't blame you for the past two years? You said you believed me, then when you learned about these things, why didn't you ask me for the truth? On the contrary, you directly condemn me to death?"

When Clara said these words, she looked straight at Darren, her eyes were as clear as snow, making Darren a little unsure of how to face her.

He could only look away but still said unwillingly, "Someone showed me some photos at the time. I thought there were photos, then how could I misunderstand you."

Photos?

It was the first time that Clara knew that Darren had seen those photos two years ago.

She gave a wry smile.

"Yeah, it seems that your so-called trust in me is not worth a few photos after all." She whispered, "Perhaps you never believed in me, otherwise, why did you never want to tell me that you are a member of the Kirkland family?"

"It's two different things!" Darren was a little anxious, "I hid the identity of mine because—"

"Darren, don't you understand yet?" Before Darren finished speaking, Clara interrupted him, her voice froze for a moment, "You never really believed in me, no matter two years ago or now, all you have ever believed in is yourself."

After saying these words, Clara twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly, "What's the point of talking about this now, it's all over, there's nothing to talk about."

Saying that she didn't want to discuss this issue with Darren anymore, she stood up and prepared to leave.

But unexpectedly, Darren immediately chased after her and grabbed her wrist.

"Clara, what do you mean by 'there is nothing to talk about?" Darren stared at Clara stubbornly, the heat in his eyes made Clara a little afraid to face it, "Since you will block a knife for me, I don't believe that you had really forgotten me in your heart!"

Clara's body trembled imperceptibly.

But soon, she calmed down and looked at Darren next to her.

Darren's beautiful eyes were full of longing and regret, which could not be concealed at all. It was like a flood that made people dare not face it.

"Darren, I think you made a mistake." She whispered, "I didn't block that knife for you. I just pulled the man away."

"It's the same! You obviously care about me, right?" Darren growled.

"I did want to save you." Clara's eyelashes trembled slightly, but her tone remained steady and calm, "Because I owed you that."
