Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 320

"What?" Horace was shocked. He never imagined that the child was not born at all.

Looking at Clara who was in silence, Horace thought she must be so sad. She liked that child so much back then that she even divorced him for the baby.

"Clara, don't be too sad. Maybe that was God's will." Horace comforted Clara softly, and thought to himself, "We'll have our own in the future."

Horace had made up his mind. He was so determined to get her back. He would ask her to be his bride once more, and this time she would be walking the aisle in the most beautiful wedding gown.

Five years ago, Laura lost both legs because of his momentary mistake, and could only spend her best years in a wheelchair. Out of guilt, he forced himself to leave Clara temporarily. He wanted to be with Laura until she got back to her feet and walked out of the shadow.

But as time passed by, he found that it was impossible for him to let go of Clara, and he couldn't do it even temporarily. He could see her everywhere since she left him, while he was working, while he was eating, while he was awake in the middle of the night.

But every time when he wanted to hug her, he got disappointed to find that what he saw was just a phantom. For a long time, Horace felt that he was about to be driven crazy.

He originally wanted to wait until Laura could accept the fact that she was disabled and could live independently. After that, he would go to the United States to get Clara back and tell her why he agreed to divorce.

But he found that Laura had been too attached to him. When he was busy with work and was not able to be with her, she would call him as if she was crazy, and she would send out all the workers at home to find him, and she would not stop until she saw him.

What was worse, in the past two years, Laura assumed herself to be Mrs. Kirkland and often went to the company to intervene in his business. Laura had already replaced two of his secretaries.

Whenever he couldn't bear it and tried to explain to her that the feeling he had for her was not love of a man for a woman, but care from a good friend to the other, she would look at him with tears in her eyes, as if he was the one who had done wrong. She would be yelling and throwing stuff around, blaming him for disliking her because of her disabilities.

The doctor said that she could not fully accept the fact that her legs were disabled, so it was better for him to do things she wanted. Otherwise, things could be worse.

Horace listened to the doctor even though he did not want to because he thought it was all because of him that she turned out to be like this.

But he knew in his heart that he was not able to be with Laura because Clara was all he could think of. He would confess himself to Laura and make things clear with her. He did not want to hurt all three of them.

More importantly, since Clara was back now, he would never let her leave again! he must get her back!

But Clara had no idea what was in his mind. Hearing Horace's words, she wanted to slap him in the face. What did he mean by God's will? It was him who did not want this child!

"Horace, why are you still pretending now? Don't you remember that it was you who took all means to kill my child back then! If it was not for you, he could have survived!" Clara said through gritted teeth.

He still refused to admit what happened back then, and even pretended to be kind and gentle. But she knew who he really was behind that mask.

In addition to resentment, Clara's heart was full of disappointment. This was the man she once loved deeply.

She once regarded him as the God who redeemed her. Who would have thought the same man pushed her to hell. She thought he was responsible, but he was not. He hid from what he had done.

She wondered whether she was blind at that time. She should never have given him her heart. But as she had seen it through, she would kill herself before she got back with him.

Horace didn't understand what Clara meant. Although he did persuade her not to have the child at the beginning, and he had quarreled with her over this matter. But that was far from "taking all means".

Just as he was about to ask Clara, a soft voice came from not far away, "Horace, what are you doing here?"

Horace turned around and found that it was Laura. She was in the wheelchair, staring at them. Irritability rose unconsciously in his heart, but Horace still tried his best to calm down and said, "Laura, why are you here?"

Horace wondered why she was here. He never told her about his schedule today, how did she know he attended the auction?

This was not the first time she did this. Every time he attended a banquet, Laura always knew where he was. She would follow him without telling him and show a very close relationship with him in front of guests. He always suspected that there was a spy of hers around him.

Thinking of this, Horace looked at Laura with a hint of inquiry and suspicion. Would this woman do that to him?

But Laura's focus now was all on Clara. She did not notice the change in Horace's expression at all.

When she saw Clara, Laura couldn't believe her eyes. She was so glamorous and attractive now, so different from that ugly brat five years ago? How could she have changed so much?

To win Horace's attention and love, Laura had spent lots of time and money on her face, and she believed that her current appearance was more attractive than it was. But as proud and arrogant as Laura, she had to admit that, in terms of appearance and temperament, the woman in front of her was not inferior.

Horace was so close to her. Laura was dissatisfied. Was Clara going to steal her man? It seemed to be. She must have arranged it all for them to meet in this auction.

Laura stared at the dress on Clara, and her hands beneath the blanket clenched together. "She had improved her skills with men in these five years," Laura thought to herself," but it was useless, I will never let this bitch win.
