Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 126

Clara and Horace walked towards the auction hall, leaving Yolanda standing there in a trance.

How would Yolanda feel if she found out the truth? Would she regret what she had done? After today, she might cry over this for days.

Every time Clara thought of the funny and shocked look on Yolanda's face, she couldn't help but want to laugh. And she did laugh.

It had been days since they quarreled, and they hadn't talked to each other since. And now he finally saw her smile. Horace felt much better.

As the two were walking, they stayed silent.

Everyone had to donate something for the auction, and the benefits would be given to charity. First, they had to give their donated goods to the auction house for registration, and then they waited for the auction to begin.

Clara and Horace walked to the auction lot registration desk.

There were already donators there who came with exquisite and valuable collections.

When the staff asked Clara what donation she was going to give out, Clara frowned and said, "Crap! I didn't bring anything!"

The staff looked at her in surprise and didn't know why she came to the auction empty-handed. This had never happened before.

Clara blushed, feeling embarrassed in front of the staff. She thought maybe she had been taken as a fraud who came here for free food and drinks.

Seeing Clara standing there like a kid who had done something wrong, Horace took out a blue velvet box.

He then asked the staff to open it, saying that it was from Mrs. Kirkland.

Actually, Horace had prepared the item for donation. It was just that before he could take it out, the staff had asked Clara.

Upon seeing the exquisite velvet box, the staff had expected that the thing in it must be very expensive. He hurriedly opened it and was amazed.

Mrs. Kirkland's donation was a valuable diamond necklace! There were nine diamonds in total engraved inlayed on the necklace and every one of them were exquisite and expensive. The necklace was absolutely splendid! The staff thought that Mrs. Kirkland was really generous and that the auction tonight was going to be exciting.

As the staff looked at the necklace, he was so impressed by it that he might actually drool.

Clara was equally as surprised as the staff. It was absolutely a gorgeous necklace. It was the first time she had seen something so beautiful.

Seeing this, Horace asked, "Do you like it? If you like it, you can keep it. We can always donate something else."

"No, it's okay," Clara shook her head and refused. The necklace was too beautiful for her to wear.

"It is beautiful, but I think we should give it for donation. In this way, we can help a lot of people and it will be beyond its value."

It was just her artlessness and kindness that attracted Horace. If it was some other woman he brought here today, she should have been so fascinated by the diamond necklace that she would try and talk Horace out of giving it away.

There weren't many people in the world that didn't like expensive things now, and Clara seemed to be one of them. Horace hadn't expected it from her when he first met her.

Seeing how thoughtful Horace was and that he especially brought such a valuable donation here, Clara was moved and looked at him with gratitude.

Horace smiled at her dotingly.

Clara was much less angry with him now.

The staff placed the necklace somewhere prominent and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Kirkland, you can take your seats in the auction hall now." Hearing this, Horace and Clara left.

Soon after they left, Ashlee came with her donation.

There were all kinds of valuable donation here, jewelry, antiques and paintings as well as calligraphy. Ashlee was amazed.

Among the donations, the most eye-catching one was a sparking diamond necklace placed in the center. Everyone would be attracted to it as soon as they walked into the room.

Pointing at the necklace, Ashlee asked the staff beside her, "Hey, do you know who donated the necklace?"

"It's from Mrs. Kirkland," the staff checked the list and said, "Isn't it beautiful? I have never seen such a beautiful necklace. I heard that it was made in southern Africa and there are only three of them in the world."

The staff had thought that his answer could please Ashlee, it didn't. Instead, Ashlee rolled her eyes at him.

After knowing how expensive Clara's donation was, Ashlee felt jealous. There were all celebrities here today and she couldn't bear the idea of letting Clara steal her thunder. She had to donate something even more expensive than the necklace!

The staff put on a long face and asked, "Miss, what will your donation be?"

Ashlee decided to donate a limited-edition Hermès bag.

After careful examination, the staff said to her, "I have recorded your donation, you may take a seat in the auction hall now."

Ashlee had been thinking about how she could wreck Clara's auction. As she came up with an idea， she smiled wickedly.

Smiling politely at the staff, she said, "You seem like a hard-working person, I like it. Can we be friends?"

The auction was a popular event, a lot of people came, so did Alastair. Seeing Ashlee, he greeted her simple and left to talk to others.

Clara only knew few people here.

However, Horace seemed to be friends with a lot of them. There had been a lot of people who came to greet him. After knowing that she was Horace's wife, they couldn't help but stare at her, which made Clara feel nervous and uneasy.

Horace saw it, patted the back of her hand and she felt better.

"You will be attending such events often from now on and you will get used to it. Don't worry, I'm here," Horace said to her.

"Okay." hearing his words, Clara felt much calmer.

Ever since Clara walked into the place, Darren had been fixing his eyes on her.

He found that Clara had been following Horace everywhere since she entered this place, it seemed that she was clingy to him.

On second thought, she should be. This must be her first time attending such an event, of course she would be nervous.

However, Darren couldn't help but feel sad about it, because Clara was here with another man, not him.

He wanted to say hello to Clara, but with Ashlee around, he couldn't.
