Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 174

Clara was a little out of breath and her voice became lower…

She felt a little inferior. After all, other people's gifts were so precious, but hers was really a bit of a flop compared to those. The other family members around her obviously thought the same thing, and at this moment they even laugh in her face.

"The wife of the Second Young Master is too stingy. A massager? Bring such shabby thing as a gift?"

"She seems to be that kind of woman as well. Look at how poor she is!"

"Right, I suddenly remembered those photos of her at the last banquet. What a shameless woman! She is just a dirty woman who can't make it to the stage."

"I don't know what the Second Young Master was thinking. Why did he marry such a woman and even set up the Clara Fund with great fanfare?"

Hearing the mean words of the people around her, Clara's head got lower and lower.

Yes, she was not from this circle at first, and she never knew what kind of gift to give. It's normal to be embarrassed now.

At this moment, Horace's eyes became cold. He was about to say something, but at this moment, Russell spoke first.

Russell looked at Clara and nodded with satisfaction, speaking with a smile, "This is the best gift I've received. Clara, you are such a considerate girl. Thank you."

Her gift was highly praised by Russell and it really dropped some jaws.

Everyone was staring at each other with a look of unwillingness.

Russell was too partial! He actually regarded such a cheap gift as a treasure.

Sean insinuated to Horace and said, "Horace, you are being too stingy with my daughter-in-law. This massager is only worth a few thousand dollars. How can it be worthy of a dignified president's wife? Don't you give her a gold card?"

Horace said calmly, "This is a gift that my wife and I prepared together. I have always admired her taste. Don't you think grandpa likes it very much? Besides, what matters is not the price, but the sincerity, do you understand?"

"Nonsense!" Sean wanted to fight with Horace.

Russell hurriedly said, "You two rarely meet each other. Every time you meet, you always fight about something. You are both grown men, not children. Shame on you two!"

Talking about when they were young, they stopped making a sound. These two people really fought from childhood to adulthood.

One has never been willing to be under the other. If one of them was the number one in the school, the other would also manage to be the number one as well. If one liked racing cars and the other would also go racing... It was like they couldn't never stop the battle between them.

Seeing that Russell likes Clara far more than herself, Ashlee couldn't help but secretly get angry. But now she has to restrain herself, especially in front of Horace.

Fortunately, Russell thought that she was pregnant and he cared about her thanks to the baby.

Everyone was talking and laughing in the living room for a while and it was more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Russell said, "You guys can go back to your rooms. I am old and don't like to be alone all the time. I need you to accompany me occasionally."

After hearing this, everyone said goodbye to him and went back to their rooms.

Clara planned to leave, but she didn't expect Russell stopped her.

"Clara," Russell said, "You should stay longer and have a chat with me."

Horace wanted to stay, but he was driven away by Russell. He said, "What? You are worried about your wife?"

"Grandpa, that's not what I meant." Horace frowned.

"Huh? I hindered you two getting together?" Russell pretended to be serious.

"Grandpa..." Clara looked shy.

"Come on, come to my study. Let's ignore him." Russell walked into the study.

Clara looked back at Horace, reassuring him, and followed him in.

Horace was still not at ease, but he also knew in his heart that Grandpa would never hurt her, but he just didn't know what he was going to say to her.

Sean on the side kept watching the interaction between Horace and Clara, and he sneered.

Looking at these two people today, it seems that their relationship is not that close. He felt that it is necessary to talk to Clara tonight, maybe it was an opportunity.

In the study.

Russell adjusted the temperature of the heater to make the house warmer. He asked Clara to sit closer so that he could hear clearly.

He said, "You guys are quite busy these days. Your past was found out at first and next Ashlee framed you. There's been a lot of trouble lately and it was quite hard for you two."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to have you worried," Clara said.

Although Russell was already reclusive, he still kept an eye on Sean and Horace. Clara felt that her news had embarrassed the Kirkland family. Although it was a misunderstanding, it still alarmed Russell.

Russell was indeed a little worried about these things.

He said, "Horace took the initiative to disclose your relationships in a high-profile manner, which shows that he loves you very much. And his high-profile publicity caused a series of disturbances that are not conducive to the Kirkland family."

Clara felt even sorrier in her heart.

Russell didn't mean to blame her. He just thought that he should call her over tonight and remind her that they should be careful in the future, do better protection work, and don't let the bad guys succeed again.

Then Russell asked, "Ashlee is pregnant now. But why aren't you?"

"Eh... I don't know either." Clara blushed.

They had been sleeping together but for some reason, she didn't get pregnant yet.

"Huh, you guys didn't try hard and I'm very anxious." Russell suddenly became childish.

Clara thought that he could be very cute sometimes, without putting on an act.

He suddenly thought of something and asked her mysteriously, "Is it because he was bad?"

"What, grandpa?" Clara was stunned for a moment.

"That...in bed…" Russell got impatient, "Why are you so stupid..."

Clara was shocked and suddenly understood what he said, and she blushed embarrassedly.

Horace was great and she knew it. Every day she wakes up with backache and it's all because of his precious grandson.

It seemed that Russell was crazy about having a great-grandson. How could he ask his grandson's wife this question so bluntly?
