Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 204

Their sex ended in his hug on the sofa.

At that moment, Clara was extremely blushed and did not want to be seen at all. It was quite unexpected that she would have sex with him in his office. It would be more than embarrassing if other people knew.

Noticing that Clara buried her face in his chest and refused to look up, Horace understood that she was shy. However, he still wanted to tease her.

He said, "Well, don't be shy. You did perfectly just now. You…"

"Horace, no, stop that! Don't!" Clara interrupted and covered his mouth with her hands, stopping him from saying more words.

At the very beginning, she thought that Horace was a gentleman, so it was quite unexpected that he would tease her when and after having sex.

However, such a "bad" Horace was so tempting to her her since she knew that she was the only one who could see and own his "badness".

Clara's shyness and blushed cheeks made Horace as happy as there was a sun inside his body, wrapping him with warmth and comfort.

He kissed her hands and looked at her smilingly with love in his eyes.

His kiss was so deep that even the deepest part of her heart could feel his tender lips, which gave her goosebumps. Then, she looked down coyly and nearly sank her head to her chest.

Horace knew that she would be angry if he continued to tease her, so he lapsed into silence and enjoyed the hug smilingly.

After a while, Clara calmed herself down and suddenly remembered the reason why she was there.

She looked up seriously at him and asked, "Do you know anything about the news?"

Horace was not anxious about the news at all, so she believed that he must know something about it.

Horace hesitated for a while whether to tell her the truth. He did not want her to be troubled or hurt by the gossips and hoped that she could always be happy.

Yet, he knew that, as the heroine involved, she had the right to know the truth. What's more, knowing the truth could also help her be careful about those who would malign her.

After taking every factor into account, noticing the curiosity and seriousness in Clara's eyes, Horace decided to tell her, "I think that I know who the mastermind is."

"You do? Who did that? Who spreads the rumors?" at the words, Clara was excited. She was really curious about who had maligned them.

Horace looked at Clara dotingly and smilingly. He enjoyed her anxiety for him. The more she worried about him, the more important he was to her.

Instead of telling her his guess directly, he asked, "Who do you think will defame us in such a way?"

Clara thought about it for a while—did Horace mean that the mastermind had defamed them more than once? So was he talking about…?

Although she did not want to believe her guess, she still ventured, "Are you talking about Ashlee and Sean?"

"Maybe. I can't think of anyone else with such a motive to hurt us," Horace sneered.

Maybe they thought that they had hidden their motive well enough from him. Yet, they had underestimated him— he could find out everything he wanted to know.

Last time, he let them off and forgave them. Yet, they did not stop their tricks and still wanted to take revenge. Therefore, this time, he would definitely not forgive them!

He could not stand their bullying him and Clara anymore.

Horace' positive response to her guess made the fury inside her erupt.

Ashlee and Sean again? Why would they hurt them again and again?

What were they up to?

Sean was Horace' brother and Ashlee was her sister. Why would they do such terrible things to their family? Did they really care about nothing but only interest?

Realizing that Clara was angry, Horace tightly held her hands and comforted, "Actually, I know that they won't give their revenge up. According to Sean's personality, he will never let us off and will try his best to take revenge on me. Yet, I am fully prepared to fight back now. They won't hurt us. Don't worry."

"Are you really fully prepared?" Clara asked. Although Horace said that he was prepared, she was still worried about him since she loved him so much and now there were traps waiting for him.

Horace wanted to keep her guessing his plan. A faint shade of cunning shining in his eyes, he asked, "Don't you want to take revenge on Ashlee? She has treated you badly before."

It took her several seconds to understand what he meant. It was the first time that she had ever seen Horace with such an expression— unlike a serious leader, he goggled his eyes like a naughty boy, hoping to play some tricks on others.

Puzzled, she asked, "Didn't we promise Sean to forgive Ashlee?"

"Well, we can forgive her if she is pregnant since, after all, her baby is also named Kirkland. Moreover, even if Darren was not the biological father, I wouldn't hurt the baby. However, what if she isn't pregnant at all?"

What? Ashlee was not pregnant? How could that be possible? How about Darren…

Clara was shocked by Horace' words. She did not dare to believe it.

"Do you mean that Ashlee fakes her pregnancy?" Clara, after a few seconds, finally understood him. She blurted out, "Really? It can't be! Are you sure about that?"

Clara was so shocked that she totally went blank.

"Isaac has done the investigation." Horace looked at Clara with a smile, "It is real."

Clara knew that Isaac was reliable, so it must be real if Horace was sure about that.

It was quite unexpected that Ashlee would dare to fake her pregnancy.

Horace was amused by her shocked goggled eyes and chuckled.

She looked more than cute with such an expression.

He rubbed her nose in a doting manner and whispered, "Come on. Let's enjoy a good show."
