Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 353

Darren never liked Horace, but he knew him well. Horace was an obnoxious man, but he was a man of integrity. Darren didn't believe that Horace would force Clara to abort.

As a man, Darren knew how much a man can tolerate the woman he loved.

When Clara was kidnapped by Ashlee, Horace would sacrifice his life to save her. In Horace's mind, Clara must have been important.

Horace forced her to have an abortion? That didn't make sense. And, as an outsider, his intuition tells him that there was another story

Hearing Darren's words, Clara paused, "What do you mean by that?"

Sean was Darren's father after all, did he know something she didn't know?

"I can't say for sure. I just don't think Horace is that kind of person." Darren looked a little serious, "And if you think about it, Laura had framed you with a video in the café, maybe it was her trick again this time to make you and Horace misunderstand each other, no?"

Darren didn't want to speak for Horace. Yet he had now given up on Clara, he wished her to be happy instead of indulging in resentment.

Clara thought of what Darren had said. Was it possible to be true? Was it Laura's trick again? Was Horace innocent?

"Clara, have you talked to Horace about it after you returned? Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you." Darren then asked.

His words also increase the doubts in Clara's heart.

Since returning, she didn't seem to have a talk with Horace. Every time he wanted to talk, she got angry. The conversation always ended in displeasure. She had never paid attention to what he said.

Was it really Laura's trick? Looking back now, Clara was convinced that Horace did it. But she hadn't questioned him in person.

Yet it was Isaac who took her to the hospital for the abortion. Without Horace's orders, how could Isaac have done such a thing? Isaac was Horace's assistant. Everyone could betray Horace but him.

Clara was confused. She felt a terrible headache. What was going on back then? She needed to talk with Horace. If there was any misunderstanding, she couldn't imagine what she had missed for so many years.

"I know, I'll find time to talk to him, Darren. Thanks for the reminder." Clara sincerely thanked Darren. It can be seen that Darren was different from her father Sean. He was at least sincere to her.

"Don't mention it." Darren smiled back. Then, he thought of something, and the smile on his face was quickly replaced by embarrassment, "Clara, there is one more thing. I don't know if I should tell you."

"What?" Clara looked at Darren in disbelief. Was there something she didn't know?

Darren weighed the pros and cons in his mind. It was about his father, he couldn't say it casually, but Clara had a right to know about it.

Gritting his teeth, Darren finally opened his mouth, "Five years ago, before you went abroad, I once heard my father at home calling someone, and I vaguely heard him mention your name. I didn't care at the time, so I didn't tell you. Now that I think about it, it was the exact time when you were forced to have an abortion. So, I was thinking, maybe my dad and Laura worked together to separate you and Horace with misunderstanding."

Although he didn't want to think of his father like that, Darren knew Sean too well.

Sean was totally capable of doing such a thing, he had framed Clara with Ashlee before. This time, there was a great possibility that he would join forces with Laura to frame her again.

Hearing Darren's words, Clara looked ugly. She didn't speak.

She didn't suspect Darren. Since Sean could kidnap her with Laura, he would do other things to frame her. She just couldn't understand why they had to hurt her again and over again? She had never offended them.

"Clara, if this has something to do with my dad, I apologize on behalf of him. I'm sorry, he..." Darren felt ashamed.

But before he could finish speaking, Clara stopped him. "Darren, you don't have to say sorry to me. It's not your fault. Your dad is your dad, and you're you. Nothing would change our friendship. Also, thank you for telling me this."

After saying that, Clara looked at him gratefully. He had told her about the ugly things his father had done. It seemed that Darren was genuinely concerned about her.

"Darren, I remember that you don't get along well with Horace, why did you help him?" Clara asked with some doubt.

"I didn't help him. I was trying to help you." Darren's eyes were sincere, "I want you to be happy. That's it."

Clara was moved. Although she knew she won't be with Darren anymore, she felt glad that she fell in love with the wrong person.

Her precious first love was devoted to someone who deserved it.

Both of them stopped talking, silent but not embarrassed. Clara felt warm. It had nothing to do with love but still touched her.

That was so good... They once loved and hated each other, and now, they became like this. Maybe that was the best ending, right?

Unlike her and Horace, who loved each other but, in the end, became enemies.

It was getting dark. Clara and Darren got up and left the campus and returned to the restaurant to have dinner with people.

Unexpectedly, at the entrance, Clara caught a glimpse of a car that looked very familiar parking in front of the restaurant.

The moment she saw the car, Clara felt her blood was frozen. She stopped walking.
