Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 246

The blood brought Horace back to his senses. He got up and looked at Clara below.

Her clothes had almost been torn off. Her body was full of hickeys. Her face was swollen because of Helena's slaps and was now full of tears. Her closed eyes were trembling. Her tears fell from time to time...

Horace clenched his hand tightly, scolding himself silently. Why didn't he notice there were so many wounds on Clara's body! He'd been so rude to her just now... Getting up from Clara's body, Horace hurried to get the medical kit.

After Horace left, Clara slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurred. Was it finally over? She laughed at herself.

Clara felt pain all over her body as she struggled to sit up from the bed. Getting out of bed and picking up the clothes that Horace had thrown on the floor, Clara walked to the bathroom absentmindedly.

Turning on the shower, the warm water drenched her body, and Clara felt a touch of warmth. The hot water washed away her tears and wounds, Clara crouched on the ground and cried, she didn't know how she and Horace become like this. They were so in love before.

Horace returned with the medical kit, but Clara was not in the bedroom. He got anxious, but then heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Carrying the medical kit, he walked to the bathroom door anxiously. When he was about to push the door in, he heard Clara's sobbing that she tried to suppress, mixing with the sound of water.

He slowly withdrew his hand, and stood blankly outside the bathroom door, wondering if he should go in. Horace was heartbroken hearing Clara's sobs.

He knew that Clara definitely wouldn't want to see him. So, he slowly returned to the bedroom, took out the medicine, and put them on the bedstand, making sure that Clara could easily see them. Then, he went to the guest room.

Clara came out of the bathroom. She was relieved not to see Horace in the bedroom. She didn't know how to face Horace now. She didn't want to see him for the time being.

Weakly walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, Clara saw the medicine and bandages that Horace had placed on the bedstand. Clara didn't pick them up. She looked at the things and lost her mind for a long time.

The next day, Clara got up early. She didn't see Horace when she went downstairs for breakfast, not knowing if he had left or was still sleeping. But it was better not to see him, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

Not in the mood for breakfast, Clara hurried to work after having a glass of milk.

People at the office all looked at her with contempt. Clara guessed that it was because of yesterday's video.

Knowing that it was useless to explain, Clara ignored the judging eyes. She went to her place and sat down. People believed what they saw, as Horace and Helena did, but seeing was not always believing.

Clara ignored them, yet they didn't stop judging. The people in the office discussed what happened yesterday. Their voices were loud as if they were deliberately making Clara hear them.

"How could she do such a thing? Isn't she always pretending to be kind and gentle?"

"Who knows? It's just on the surface."

"I think she's too scared. She probably knew that she won't be Mrs. Kirkland for long, so she wanted to get rid of the threat as soon as possible."

"Yes, if I were Horace, I would choose Laura too. But, holy crap! How did she come up with the idea of destroying Laura's face!"

"Yeah, I bet she didn't expect to be filmed and posted online. Now the whole world knows what kind of person she is. Horace will definitely abandon her."

People glanced at Clara from time to time while discussing, lest Clara not know that she was the subject.

Clara clutched the pen in her hand, her eyes filled with grievance.

She wasn't as scheming as Laura, but one day, she would throw the evidence in front of people to shut their mouths, to show them how despicable the person they were defending now was, .

"Have you done gossiping in the work hours? Continue if anyone wants to get fired." Having heard the noises through the office door, Darren came out and shouted.

Seeing Darren angry, everyone fell silent. Darren turned to Clara and said, "Clara, come with me."

Clara followed Darren to his office although she didn't know what was going on. She didn't want to face the people outside.

Darren asked Clara to take a seat and then sat down opposite her.

"Clara, are you okay?" Darren asked Clara gently.

Clara didn't know what to say. Words like "I'm fine" was against her will.

"Clara, I heard about what happened online. And I'm sure you wouldn't have done such a thing, there must have been misunderstandings, right?" Darren asked softly.

"Thank you, Darren." Hearing that someone else besides Logan chose to trust her, Clara was moved. "Thank you for trusting me."

"Of course, I will do." Darren took it for granted, and then asked cautiously, "But, does Horace trust you?"

Hearing this, Clara bowed her head and did not speak. Darren could guess the answer. The video was so clear, and Horace used to like Laura so much, so he probably didn't trust Clara.

"Clara, I watched Horace and Laura being together, they were deeply in love. Now that Laura is back, it's normal for Horace to hesitate a little. Darren stood up and walked over to Clara, crouched down, and took her hand.

"But, Clara, if Horace loves you, he will trust you. And if he doubts you, he must be still in love with Laura."
