Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 172

Russell spoke on the phone, "Clara, today is my birthday. In the past, they always wanted to throw me a party, but I refused. However, this time, I want everyone to get together. I have told Horace. You must come as well!"

Clara smiled, "Grandpa, we're gonna give you a great birthday. See you later."

Then she hung up the phone.

Clara was very surprised that no one knew about Russell's birthday and he suddenly noticed them.

Clara saw that there was no more interview on her afternoon itinerary, so she decided to rush to the nearby shopping mall to choose a birthday present for Russell.

The shopping mall displayed a wide variety of gifts. She hesitated for a long time and didn't know what gift to buy. She was very anxious.

She came to a men's clothing store and wanted to buy a wallet for him. But she thought again and Russell didn't seem to like such tacky things, so she put it down after starting at it for a long time.

She turned around and came to a store that sold massagers and bought a massager that could be placed on the neck or waist.

She knew that Russell used to be in the army. Although he was strong, he also had a lot of old injuries, so if he had a massager, it would be much better, right?

When she was choosing a massager, Darren also appeared in the mall. He was also hanging out, but he didn't see her and went directly to another store.

Clara quickly finished shopping, came out and tried to hail a taxi.

But it was very difficult to get a taxi at this busy time.

Clara stood alone on the street, hailing the approaching taxi, but the car drove away quickly.

Oh, no! The birthday party was about to start, she would be late if she didn't get a car.

Clara was a little anxious and wanted to call Horace to ask him to pick her up, but she didn't expect she couldn't get through his phone.

What was he doing? Didn't he know that she was going to the birthday party?

Clara felt even more upset in her heart.

At this time, Darren also came out of the mall with a gift bag in his hand.

"Clara?" Darren saw her standing on the side of the road anxiously. He asked, "Why are you here?"

He saw the gift bag in her hand and asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to the villa?"

Seeing what he was holding, she smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence, are you going there too? Did you buy a gift?"

"Yes, Russell suddenly called me, saying that he was going to celebrate his birthday. This is unprecedented." Darren said, "Let's go there together. I'll give you a lift."

"No, I can take a taxi." Clara felt that it was inappropriate.

Darren looked at his watch and said, "You can't get a taxi during this time. Are you that afraid of me?"

Clara was amused by him and she was afraid that she would be late because she couldn't get a taxi, which would make Russell unhappy, so she said to him, "Okay, let's go together."

The two got into the car.

There was a traffic jam on the road, they waited for several red lights. Darren turned on the radio and it was playing the popular songs from their college days.

He said, "Do you still remember this song? At that time, a boy in our department sang this song at a party in order to chase a girl, but he didn't sing well at all."

Clara then recalled it. She smiled and said, "I remembered it, but the girl was so moved that the two of them even got together. At that time, we said that fortune favors fools."

Life on the campus was full of fun and embarrassing stories. Some people were always reminiscing about their campus stories because those days were so unforgettable.

Clara lost her mind for a moment, but soon, she felt that it seemed inappropriate to discuss these memories with Darren, so she straightened her face and changed the subject, "Darren, do you know why grandpa suddenly invite us to have dinner together? I thought people should have started preparing for his birthday several months ago."

Darren explained, "He doesn't like an extravagance, and it happened that his birthday was the anniversary of my great grandmother's death. We wanted to celebrate his birthday before, but he didn't want to. And this time we thought it was the same, so we didn't dare to prepare in advance. But I don't know what happened this year and he suddenly said that he wanted to celebrate together."

Then she understood.

She stopped talking and the atmosphere was embarrassing all the way.

They got out of the car together at the gate.

When she got out of the car, she was holding the massager, which was too big for her. She couldn't hold it steady and almost fell. Fortunately, Darren responded quickly and immediately held her.

"Thank you," Clara said embarrassedly and withdrew her arm from his grasp quietly.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Darren suddenly grabbed her, preventing her from breaking free.

Clara frowned but when she was about to say something, a black Bentley suddenly stopped by the side.

Clara was stunned for a while, seeing a wheelchair in the car slide down, not only that, but she also saw Ashlee get out of the car.

Her face suddenly turned pale.

Horace, who hadn't been in contact for a day, was actually with Ashlee?

Not only Clara, but the other three people were shocked when they saw each other. Obviously, they didn't expect to bump into each other in this way.

For a while, the four people stood there and each with a different expression.

They stood for a moment in silence, looking at each other.

Horace's eyes looking at Clara involuntarily turned cold.

When Ashlee saw Clara and Darren were together, she felt very jealous.

Why!

Why were these two together again!

But soon, she saw that Clara's face paled when she saw Horace and her were together, she couldn't help feeling smug about it.

Ah.

Ashlee thought that the only thing Clara was proud of is her husband, Horace. Now seeing that her husband was with her, she must be unhappy.

Now you should know about my feelings every time I see Darren and you were together.

Thinking of this, Ashlee smiled charmingly, got closer to Horace, and said sweetly, "Hello sis, you're invited too!"
