Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 143

The next morning.

In the morning, a ray of sunshine came in. Clara opened her eyes to look at Horace who was still sleeping.

His breath was even and steady, his eyebrows were thick and black, and the outline of his face was almost perfect. Clara smiled while she was watching.

But at this time, Horace's hand suddenly put on her shoulder. He was pretending to sleep.

Clara buried her head in bed shyly.

Horace also slid under the quilt and kissed Clara.

The two kissed for a while. And if they continued, it would be noon.

Clara stopped Horace's hands and said, "Don't... don't do this. We rarely have such a day when both of us are free. What about we do something else?"

Horace thought she was right that they couldn't have sex every day. It was not good for health. He thought, well, let her go today.

He said in a low voice, "It's such a sunny day outside and weekend. Why don't I take you out for a walk?"

Thinking it over, Clara realized that she had never gone out alone with Horace.

So…

Was this a date?

She was a little nervous, but more excited. She nodded immediately, "I'll get up to get ready."

While she was saying, she went to the dressing table. Looking at a table of expensive cosmetics, she suddenly had a headache because she didn't know where to start.

At least it was their first date. Should she make up well? But at her level, will it be self-defeating?

When Clara was worried, she suddenly received a phone call.

Clara frowned when she saw that the caller ID was Glenn.

But at least it was her father, she still got through.

"Clara." Glenn's voice was very anxious. "Come to the Middleton family villa right away. I have something urgent."

It was one of the few times that Glenn took the initiative to call her and let her come. What good could there be?

Did Glenn still have time to hold a family party with her? No, He must be up to something else. She knew them too well.

Clara frowned. "Another day, I have something else to do today."

"Oh, Clara, come on. The Middleton family villa is also your home."

When Clara heard this, she felt disgusted. "Dad, when has it become my home? You don't have to say more, I won't go anyway, at least not today."

"Clara! I'm sick!" Glenn's voice became more anxious and coughed violently. "Come and see me."

Glenn was sick?

Clara was stunned.

She knew that Glenn had a problem with his lungs. Maybe the closure of the Middleton family company stimulated him.

He was also old. He must be very angry under such a big hit. Clara's heart suddenly softened. She promised to see Glenn soon.

After hanging up, she looked at Horace apologetically. "I'm afraid I can't go out with you today. My father seems to be ill and I have to go to see him."

Horace thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

Clara thought, can Horace accompany her to the Middleton family villa at this time? If they found out Horace had done this, would they deal with him?

Horace looked at Clara who still hesitated and said, "I must go with you. I'm worried about you."

Clara had to compromise and agreed.

Horace called Isaac and asked him to drive them.

After arriving at the Middleton family villa, Clara said that she wanted to go first by herself and let Isaac and Horace wait in the car.

Horace didn't force her this time, just nodded and watched Clara get off.

After Clara left, Isaac couldn't help but say, "Master Horace, did we just let Mrs. Kirkland go in alone? What if there was danger?"

Horace said, "I don't worry about that now. They haven't dared to hurt her yet."

Isaac added, " Master Horace, do you think Glenn is seriously ill? I haven't heard of it. They asked her to come here today. Do they have any other purpose?"

Horace snorted coldly, "In short, they won't have any good purpose."

When Clara arrived, she found Glenn sitting in the living room with Ashlee and Valerie.

Clara knew she had been cheated. She turned and wanted to go.

"Clara!" Ashlee yelled, "Are you leaving when you just came? We haven't said anything yet."

Clara stopped. It seemed she couldn't escape today.

She said, "Dad, didn't you say you were ill? It seems that you're quite healthy. I have no need to stay then."

After mentioning Ashlee, Valerie walked over with a smile.

"Oh, Clara," she said, "Enmity among the family doesn't last overnight. Come sit down, have some tea and talk with us."

Clara was taken aback.

For the first time in her life, Valerie spoke to her so politely and asked her to have a chat with them!

She was pulled by Valerie to sit back onto the sofa.

Valerie said, "I heard that you and Horace are married. Oh, what a godsent marriage! Bring Horace home for dinner next time."

Did they know she was married to Horace?

Clara soon realized that it must be Ashlee who said it.

Their purpose was already obvious. Clara knew it well, so she just kept silent.

Glenn saw that she was calm and worried, so he directly said, "Clara, you must help Dad this time and let Horace let go of us. There is no grievance. Why should we be serious, isn't it?"

The family who was cold and mocked her before had pretended to like her because they had a favor to ask of her.

It's faster for them to change their attitude than to turn over a book.

Clara sneered in her heart and said expressionless, "I've never asked Horace about his business and I can't manage it. It's his business. I'm sorry I can't help you."

The Middleton family was stunned and changed their attitude in an instant.

Ashlee looked ferocious, "Clara, you are good! What, do you think you have a backer?"

"Ashlee!" Valerie pretended to scold her and said, "It's impolite to talk to your sister like this. Your sister is not such a cruel person. Who doesn't understand the truth that you should return after being helped by others? Right, Clara?"

She called her name so intimate. It seemed like they were a real family. Clara was about to throw up when she heard them calling her name.

Glenn also came up to persuade, "Clara, it's a crucial time for Dad. Horace loves you so much that he will listen to you. Tell him to let go of us, please!"

Clara became impatient. "Dad, I already told you that I never asked about his business. Even if I ask him, he might not agree."

"Clara, I'm your biological father!" Glenn had lost his patience. He shouted at her, "You would have starved to death without our support. Your mother can't raise you alone!"

Finally, they showed their true colors.

Clara's heart was almost dead at this moment.
