Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 348

Horace was sitting in his office, reading the documents. But he couldn't concentrate, because the picture of Clara left with Andre kept popping out in his mind.

Realizing that he was being inefficient, Horace closed the folder, leaned back in his chair, and relaxed his nerves with his eyes closed.

He hadn't seen Clara and Andre since that day on the cruise, but their images never left his mind.

At home, in the office, at the dinner table, in the conference room, in dreams... The scene of the two of them together kept appearing in front of his eyes. Horace knew it was just an illusion, but his heart still ached for it.

They ate together at the dinner table. Andre wanted to wipe the corners of Clara's mouth. There had secrets that he couldn't understand. She turned a cold face to him for Andre. And there was a lot he didn't know. Would they be more intimate than what he saw?

Thinking of this, Horace felt like he was going crazy. He didn't even dare to imagine. He was afraid that it was all real. He was afraid that his Clara, was now someone else's Clara. He couldn't bear the pain.

Opening his eyes, Horace took a deep breath, trying to get rid of the images that filled his head.

No, he had to investigate Clara's relationship with Andre. Were they friends or couples? If they were a couple, what stage of relationship were they at... If he kept thinking, he would have a mental breakdown.

Someone knocked on the door.

Sitting up straight, Horace reopened the folder.

"Come in." He resumed his cold voice as if the fragile man just now never existed.

Isaac gently pushed opened the door and came in.

"Mr. Kirkland, we made the deal with Mr. Larson from Chamwin Inc. They agreed to give us two percent more of the profits, but at the same time required that the warranty cost of the product be paid by Solrace."

Isaac was sent by Horace on a business trip a few days ago. He rushed back to the company to report the results of the negotiations to Horace immediately after he got off the plane.

"Okay, well done." Horace finally smiled a little. But immediately, he put the smile away and returned to its previous coldness.

"There is something else I need you to investigate."

"Mr. Kirkland, I am at your service."

"Clara has returned. I want you to investigate her relationship with a man named Andre. Let me know the result as soon as possible."

Horace clenched his fists. He had never imagined that one day he would investigate his wife's relationship with another man.

Although they are divorced, in his heart Clara was still his wife. He would never allow others to touch her, not even think about her.

Mrs. Kirkland has returned from abroad! Isaac was shocked. Why did she come back?

It was he who led the guys to force Clara to have an abortion. Thinking of this, Cold sweat broke out on Isaac's forehead and flowed down his cheeks.

Was the thing happened that year going to be exposed?

Seeing Isaac's reaction, Horace frowned and wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Isaac wiped his sweat from the back of his hand, "I'm just a little surprised to hear that Mrs. Kirk… Miss Hutchinson has come back, when did that happen? You guys... have met, I guess?"

Isaac thought, "If they had met, did Mrs. Kirkland mention the kid in front of Mr. Kirkland? Did Mr. Kirkland know what was going on back then? If he knew, what should I do? How am I going to explain? If I told him that I had done these things because my parents were held hostage by Laura, would Mr. Kirkland forgive me? Will Mrs. Kirkland forgive me?"

Thinking of this, Isaac's heart was full of worry and fear. Then, he breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Kirkland probably didn't know it yet, or he wouldn't have spoken so calmly now. But how long can this matter be hidden?

"A while ago, we met a few times." Horace had no doubt about Isaac's words. "Take a break, and then do what I asked. Also, her current name is Clara Hutchinson. Don't make it wrong."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." After answering, Isaac left the office in a panic.

Horace was focused on the documents. Therefore, he didn't notice anything.

Walking out of the office uneasily, Isaac felt that his legs were weak. He kept thinking about how he should explain what happened that year and how he should ask for Horace and Clara's forgiveness.

Over the years, Isaac had been living in guilt. It had been five years, yet whenever he saw a child, he would think of Clara crying and begging him not to kill the child in her belly. He couldn't forgive himself.

Isaac knew better than everyone how much Horace missed Clara and how much he had tolerated Laura. Several times he wanted to tell Horace the truth so that Horace could see the true colors of Laura and chase Clara back.

But he didn't dare, he never had the courage, he had scruples...

"Isaac!" A sharp shout brought Isaac back to reality. He looked back and saw Laura approaching in her wheelchair.

Isaac felt like throwing up. She wanted to leave. Over the years, he was never able to avoid Laura. He hated to see this vicious woman.

Every time he saw her mention her legs on purpose, pretending to be sad, in order to ask Horace to grant her unreasonable requests, he hated himself for not being able to expose her.

"Isaac, stand still!" Laura sped up and stopped Isaac, "What's wrong with you? You looked like a ghost. Didn't you hear me? How dare you avoid me? You don't want to work in Solare anymore? Believe it or not, I'll ask Horace to fire you right away!"

Laura's threat was amusing to Isaac. She thought she mattered to Horace and that he would listen to her? She probably overestimated herself.

After scolding Isaac for a while, Laura said, "Come with me, I need to talk to you."

"What?" Isaac was momentarily alert. Nothing good would happen when Laura went to him.

"Why are you so scared?" Laura had a disgruntled expression, "I don't bite. We'll find a quiet place and have a talk."
