Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 157

Clara said to Logan, "Mr. Hutchinson, may I ask you some questions about the antique exhibition? I see today that your exhibits here today are old objects with very obvious traces of time. Do they have any stories that you would like us to know?"

Logan glanced at Clara and whispered, "it's not very convenient to interview here. Let's go to my office."

Sarah was standing in silence, but then she jumped out and said, "You are so considerate, Mr. Hutchinson. Unlike other men of your status. You must think the exhibition hall is a little cold, for fear that we might get cold, right?"

Hearing this, he looked at Clara. Sarah sounded like she was "insinuating" Horace.

Clara lowered her head in embarrassment.

Logan thought her expression was cute, and he smiled unnoticeably. He didn't hate her, but because of Horace's relationship with her, he found this woman quite confusing.

He said, "It's very creative of him to ask you to interview me. Well, I'll cooperate. However, my condition is that I only accept your interview. Your colleagues can take some photos at my antique exhibition, OK?"

Sarah and Luis looked disappointed and walked silently into the exhibition hall.

Clara thought about it for a moment. Logan was not an easy date. At this point in time, it seemed that she had no choice but to follow him into his office.

Logan had an auto coffee machine in his office. He poured some coffee beans into it, and soon the aroma of coffee came out.

Logan asked, "You like coffee, right?"

"How did you know?"

"I guessed it," Logan said.

Logan had someone investigate Clara, so he knew about her preferences.

Logan put a cup of coffee in front of Clara, and said to Clara, "I add milk and sugar to it. After staying with people like Horace, you need something sweet and warm to keep that coldness out."

Well, Logan may be right, but it was just on the surface. Horace appeared as aloof and impassive in other people's eyes, but she could feel his warmth all the time.

Maybe this was the difference brought about by love.

Logan said directly, "Clara, why did you marry Horace? For money, fame, or status?"

Why did he think of her like everyone else? Clara felt that she was wrong about him. He looked as if he was kind and sweet, but there was a big uncertain part in his character.

Clara said, "Mr. Hutchinson, what you asked had nothing to do with today's interview. This was my personal affair and I don't want to talk about it with you today."

Clara did not want to share her acquaintance with Horace with anyone. That's the agreement and secret between them, even to his grandfather.

She continued, "I know you don't like me very much because of Horace. However, today's interview could also be a good publicity opportunity for your company. Maybe the stock price will rise. Shall we get back to our job now?"

Logan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not what you think. I don't dislike you. I'm just kindly reminding you that Horace is a very ruthless man. I am afraid that one day he would treat you the way he did to my baby sister!"

Clara finally understood why Logan had been giving Horace the cold face and he was always implying something when he talked to her. It turned out that he still cared about his sister's death. He always misunderstood Horace.

Clara said, "Mr. Hutchinson, you misunderstood him."

"Misunderstood him? Clara, you are too naive and simple. The cause of the fire was well known. Be careful not to be deceived by Horace. Leave him, at least when you still can."

Leave Horace? How could she? She always believed Horace because she knew he would never lie to her.

Logan added, "To save his own life, he abandoned my baby sister and let her die alone in the fire... Could you imagine that pain? You do not know him for long so you still have that hope, but just wait for one day you both are in danger, then you will remember my warnings for you today. Just, please wake up from the dreams that he fabricated for you!"

Logan talked about Horace as if he were so evil and despicable. Clara thought it was unfair for him to blame everything on Horace before the truth was figured out.

Clara said, "Mr. Hutchinson, you misunderstood him. Horace didn't leave her. It was she who told Horace to leave there to find someone to put out the fire! Horace didn't run away!"

Horace was very sad about this. He still kept the belongings of Laura, and could not let anyone else touch them, including me. She had a special place in his heart. She was eternal in his heart... "

"Eternity." Logan could not help feeling sad when his sister's name was mentioned.

"Yes, you are right. A dead girl is always eternal. Do you want to be eternal in his heart? I don't blame him for running away. He was just a coward. It was too much to ask for him to die for my sister. But he was disgusting for not admitting it and trying to cover it up with another lie."

Clara hurriedly explained to her husband, "It was not a lie. What you think was true may just be in your head. Please, just let it go. Why do you want him to admit something he did not do? Mr. Hutchinson..."

"Call me Logan, please. You don't need to be so formal with me."

"OK. Logan, I can understand that you are very sad. I don't have the luck to see Laura in person but I knew she must be a very beautiful girl and I knew she must have loved this man. I know she must have wanted him to be alive because I do. Horace would never do such a thing, just trust me. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust your sister's judgment, right?"

Logan looked at Clara. It turned out that this woman had been deeply involved, just like his sister did ten years ago.

He told Laura not to get too involved with him so many times and not to be in love with him. But she just could not listen. Look at what she had lost for her judgment, her life...

He said, "Don't try to find excuses for him. You have known him for, as long as half a year, right? I have known him for almost three decades."

It seemed pointless to change his mind and this conversation seemed to go on forever, so she changed the subject and said, "I can see you really love your sister. She must mean a lot to you."
