Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 239

Just as Clara reached the door, Helena's laughter came from inside the door.

Helena was in a good mood, with which Clara was very happy. Helena hadn't been so delighted for a long time, so there must be something good.

Helena rang the doorbell, and then Helena opened the door with a wide smile.

"Mom, what makes you so happy?" Clara asked with a smile.

"Clara!" Seeing Clara, Helena grinned awkwardly. "Come on in."

After saying that, Helena made way for Clara into the house.

"Mom, why don't you bid me welcome?" Clara momentarily could not understand Helena's expression change, so she jokingly asked.

"What are you talking about?" Helena gave Clara an annoyed look.

Clara was amused. Clara thought Helena was very cute, and then she walked into the house with her arm around Helena's shoulder. The next second, Clara froze. Laura was sitting on the sofa.

Clara didn't know why Laura was here.

"Laura, this is Clara. You should know her." Helena held Clara's hand and introduced her to Laura. After that, Helena turned to look at Clara and said, "Clara, this is Laura, Logan's sister. You might well have seen her before."

Clara smiled awkwardly, not knowing how she should greet Laura.

Laura, however, came forward and wrapped an arm around Clara's. "Clara and I have known each other for a long time, Aunt Helena, you don't need to introduce us."

"Really? That's great!" Helena was happy that Laura and Clara could get along well with each other. "You both must have dinner here tonight, and I'll cook for you right now."

"Hooray! Aunt Helena, I have loved your cooking since I was a child. I really missed what you made these years."

"It's my pleasure. Just tell me whatever you want to eat, and I will make it all for you." Helena was very pleased with Laura's words.

After Laura told Helena what she wanted to eat, Helena happily went into the kitchen.

Clara was upset that Helena didn't ask her what she wanted to eat. Considering that Laura was a guest, Clara thought it was reasonable for Helena to be so hospitable to Laura.

After Helena went into the kitchen, Laura let go of Clara's arm, sat on the sofa, and began to drink coffee, paying no attention to Clara.

Clara felt very embarrassed, not knowing what to say. They both kept silent.

After a while, Laura got up and went into the kitchen as well. "Aunt Helena, I'm here to help."

"That's great. Put on this apron in case you get your clothes dirty," Helena said in a happy voice.

Clara, sitting in the living room, could hear laughter coming from the kitchen. Tears began to well up in her eyes. Clara felt as if she was a guest here while Laura was Helena's daughter.

After a long time, the meal was finally ready. After everyone was seated, Helena asked Laura to enjoy the meal.

"Laura, you have to try this. I remember it was your favorite when you were a kid." Helena kept on putting more food in Laura's bowl.

"Well, thank you, Aunt Helena." Laura then said, "It's so yummy. It tastes the same as it was when I was a kid."

"Really?" Helena was excited after hearing it. "Then you must try this one."

Helena kept on serving Laura food but completely ignored Clara, which almost made Clara cry.

Helena, as Laura's mother, was nicer to Laura than to Clara, which was what Clara couldn't accept.

Clara drooped her head and tried her best not to shed tears. Nonetheless, Helena and Laura were talking happily with each other, as if neither of them realized that Clara was upset.

Clara had a hard time finishing this. After doing the dishes, Clara couldn't bear to see Helena's wide smile at Laura. Thus, Clara made an excuse that she had something else to do and offered to leave.

Hearing Clara's words, Laura said, "What a coincidence! I also have something else to do, so I should go with Clara."

"Wish you could stay here a bit longer." Helena said unwillingly, "Come visit me whenever you like, Laura."

"Of course, Aunt Helena. I miss your cooking so much." Laura smiled and gave Helena a hug.

"That's great," Helena was amused. "Then just go where you are needed. I'm looking forward to seeing you again."

"Okay, Mom. Take care of yourself. See you." After saying goodbye to Helena, Clara followed Laura downstairs.

"Clara, where are you going? I can give you a ride," Getting downstairs, Laura asked.

"No, thanks. I can take a taxi back." Clara refused because she didn't want to spend any more time with Laura.

"It's not safe for you to take a taxi alone. Let me give you a ride." With that, Laura held Clara's arm and headed toward her car.

Clara thought it was impolite to refuse again, so she got into Laura's car.

"How do you feel now?" Clara asked when realizing that Laura was just discharged from the hospital.

"I'm fine. I'm almost used to this," Laura said indifferently. "Clara, is it okay with you?"

"What do you mean?" Clara was confused by Laura's words.

After glancing at Clara, Laura said, "Horace carried me to the hospital."

Clara didn't know how to answer this question. Obviously, she couldn't say she was not happy with that.

"You fainted, so it is of course normal for Horace to do that."

"Well, it's best if you think so." Laura laughed, "Horace is your husband, so I'm afraid you'll be jealous."

"In the elevator, Horace was so worried about me that even his face turned pale with fear. He didn't want me to be in danger, so he carried me and hurried to the hospital as the elevator doors opened. Therefore, he ignored how you feel, but please don't get angry with him." Laura smiled and glanced at Clara, "Although Horace cares about me as much as before, we are just friends now. Hence, don't worry. I won't fight with you for him."

Seemingly, Laura was explaining to Clara what happened yesterday, but Clara could tell that Laura was showing off.

Even if Laura claimed that she would fight with Clara for Horace, Clara could read between the lines. Laura was showing off that Horace still loved her and that Clara was no match for her.
