Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 291

Although Clara felt a sense of kinship with Logan before and had been rescued by him several times, she only thought that he was a good friend.

However, now she suddenly did not know how to face him after she knew that he was her brother.

Tears began to wet Clara's eyes. She lowered her head down and tried to control her tears.

"Clara, what a surprise!" Clara's arrival not only surprised Logan. She had visited him more frequently than ever that day, but also reminded him of his investigation, which installed some suppositions in Logan's mind.

"Well," not having recovered her composure totally, Clara stammered. She took one more second to clear her mind and then smiled at Logan, "I am here for Laura. Is she home?"

At Clara's words, Logan thought that she was there to accuse Laura of the abduction. Logan felt so sorry for Clara since it was his sister who plotted the abduction.

"Clara, I am so sorry. Laura shouldn't do that. Can you forgive her? I promise that I will give her some lessons and stop her from hurting you anymore."

Although now Logan began to doubt whether Laura was his real sister, he still hoped that she could be forgiven and live a good life since he had been with her for more than twenty years since she was a baby.

Logan's apology for Laura and the anxiety, love as well as the worries for Laura in his eyes upset Clara.

Clara understood that, although Logan was a gentleman, brought up under such a famous family, he, the same as Horace, must have something that he was proud of and that he must protect.

Clara was then convinced that Logan loved his sister very much since he was willing to apologize to her for Laura's sake in such a humble manner.

It suddenly occurred to Clara that it was Logan who saved her, so he must know whether she had been raped or not.

Yet Horace's reaction and anger told her that Logan did not explain the whole event. Clara had been troubled by and busy with all these accidents recently, so even she herself forgot that Logan could help to prove her innocence.

It was possible that Logan knew nothing about how Laura and the doctor had framed her; it was possible that he knew nothing about the misunderstandings between her and Horace. That is to say, the misunderstandings could be cleared up and dismissed if Logan explained the whole event to Horace.

With such a hope, Clara ventured, "Logan, do you know that Laura told Horace I have been raped by four men?"

It turned out that Clara had already known that it was Laura who told Horace about the kidnap. Logan felt more apologetic, "Clara, Laura…"

Logan did not know how to intercede with Clara for Laura anymore since he could imagine how badly this would influence the relationship between her and Horace.

"Clara, can you forgive Laura? I'll definitely discipline her in the future," Logan said in a weak tone.

It turned out that Logan actually knew everything! Clara was shocked.

After recovering her composure, Clara squeezed a bitter smile secretly. After all, Logan had already chosen to be on Laura's side. Indeed, to Logan, Laura was his family while she was a nobody.

Noticing the guilt and shame in Logan's look, Clara did want to tell him the truth. She wondered whether Logan would support her and help her if he knew that she was his real sister.

Yet, she resisted her impulse and bit her words back. Now it was not time for her to unveil the truth. She knew that Helena's health problem was urgent and topped the agenda.

"Don't worry. I am not here to cause her trouble," Clara let sadness color her tone, "I have something to discuss with her."

"Well, then," Logan was relieved, "Please come in. Laura's home."

Logan's reaction left Clara with mixed feelings. Did he worry that she would hurt Laura?

After ushering Clara in and inviting her to sit down, Logan gave his order to a maid, "Bring Laura down here. You just tell her that she is wanted."

The maid took the instruction and went upstairs to find Laura.

Seated opposite Clara, Logan asked shamefacedly, "How are you? Have you recovered from your wounds?"

"Well," Clara nodded her head, moved by the warmth of Logan's concern, "I am fine."

"That's wonderful," Logan was relieved.

When Logan was about to ask something about the leukemia Helena had, he held it back as he realized that there must be some reasons why Clara did not broach this subject; maybe she did not want him to know.

Moreover, she might be angry if she knew that he had secretly investigated her.

Laura's voice rang when he was going to talk with Clara about something else, "Logan, who's there?"

Laura paused for a second and her joyful smile changed into a sneer when she saw Clara sitting downstairs.

Ugh! Clara Selman, how dare you come here for me? Do you want more lessons from me?

"Logan, why is she here? She wants me?" deliberately bypassing Clara, Laura directly went to sit beside Logan and asked. She did not need to pretend to be kind to Clara since Logan had already known their conflicts.

That Laura did not even greet Clara infuriated Logan a little bit, "Clara has something to talk with you. Behave yourself!"

Clara cast a look at Clara with disdain and pouted, "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Laura!" Laura's tone was so unfriendly that Logan interrupted Laura sharply and then turned around to look at Clara apologetically, "I'm sorry Clara. Laura…"

"Logan, don't apologize! I have done nothing wrong!" Logan's apology upset Laura.

Realizing that Logan was going to be angry, Clara blurted out, "It's fine, Logan. Never mind."

At Clara's words, Laura rolled her eyes upwards and granted in a low voice, "Ugh, stop pretending to be a lady."

"Logan, can I have a private talk with your sister?" Clara said to Logan. She did not care about how Laura treated her.

To her, it was natural and right that Laura treated her badly. If Laura suddenly became friendly to her, she would suspect her true intention.
