Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 380

Horace's heart was pained by the difference in Clara's attitude toward him and Logan. In front of others, she was still the same person, but they were no longer the same as they were.

Thinking of the reason for his visit, Horace put away his troubled thoughts and stepped forward to look at Clara. "Clara, I came here today... I came here today to apologize to you. I'm sorry that I misunderstood you."

Horace looked at Clara with guilt in his eyes. How hurt was Clara because of his misunderstanding and distrust?

Horace wanted to punch himself in the face as he tried to persuade Clara to have an abortion again and again. Clara must have been sadder than she was when she found out she had lost the child? That's why she sent the divorce agreement directly to him and went abroad without even saying goodbye.

But he didn't even know it, he let her suffer alone. What a husband, what a father!

"What did you misunderstand me about?" Clara asked, knowing full well that she was being vindictive.

"Sean told me that you weren't assaulted by those people back then. Clara, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not believing you back then. Can you forgive me?" Horace said urgently, the look on his face was almost begging.

Clara, however, was unmoved. "You now believe that the child we lost was yours," she said coldly.

Clara didn't seem to be too sad when she spoke, knowing that the baby had already been born, but Horace was hurt by the words.

"Clara, I'm sorry, our child... It's all my fault," Horace said, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Sorry" could not express his feelings, but he did not know what else to say.

Having said that, Horace tried to reach out and grab Clara, but Clara moved away from him. Did he think that the five years of estrangement, would be erased by a simple sorry?

"Clara, I've found out what happened. Sean and Laura set you up. I shouldn't have doubted you," Horace said.

"What's the point now?" Clara looked down at Horace. What difference does it make now? There was no going back to the way things were.

It didn't work anymore? Horace didn't want to believe what he heard.

He took a deep breath, Horace looked at Clara and said seriously, "Clara, I've taught Sean a lesson. I collected evidence of his crimes over the years and gave it to the court. Now he is in prison, and he has been punished as he ought to be, and he may not get out for another seven or eight years."

He wasn't trying to impress Clara. Horace just wanted to tell her, "Clara, you know what? I've avenged you and our child."

Horace had personally sent his brother to prison for her. Clara was not unmoved, but she could not help but feel a chill in her heart at the thought of another person.

"And what about Laura? Sean should have told you? Laura and he kidnapped and framed me." Clara said expressionlessly.

"How do you know?" Horace wondered. How did Clara know that Sean was coming for her?

"Of course I know, because I told him to come to you," Clara said. "I found out that Sean was bribing, and I threatened him to come to you and tell you the truth."

Horace had a knowing look on his face. No wonder Sean had come to him and told him what had happened.

Seeing Horace not speaking, Clara thought of something and smirked. "Why, are you suspecting that I deliberately framed Laura again?"

The sarcastic tone hurt Horace's heart, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

It was his choice to believe Laura's lies, again and again, it was his own behavior that made him lose her trust little by little. At this point, he had nothing to say, only to apologize.

"Clara, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have believed Laura. It's my fault. I promise I'll never doubt you again."

Again? Is there a future between them? Clara was a little dazed by Horace's words.

"Clara, Laura is disabled because of me. Let's considered she's already been punished, and let's not hold her responsible this time, shall we?" Horace coaxed softly.

All these years, Horace saw how Laura lived. Without her legs, she was really inconvenient everywhere. She used to be a well-known designer, but her career had been ruined over the years because of her disabled legs.

All of this could be considered to have nothing to do with him, so in addition to hate, Horace had always had a sense of guilt for Laura, that he delayed her life.

This time when he returned her this favor, from now on, the two do not owe anything to each other. If she ever hurts Clara again, he would not be merciful.

But Clara did not know Horace's thoughts, she only heard him pleading for Laura, and she was inexplicably infuriated.

As expected, Horace was reluctant to take action against Laura. After all, they were childhood sweethearts. After all, they were each other's, first love. After all, they had been together for the past five years. After all... The more Clara thought about it, the angrier she got.

Well, it was up to Horace to let it go. She wasn't going to let Laura get away with what she had done to her and her child. One day, she was going to give it all back to her!

Of course, she wouldn't say that in front of Horace. Trying to calm her anger, Clara maintained the pretense of calm. "I see. You can go now. I have work to do."

Since Horace still felt Laura was more important to him than she or their child, there was nothing left to say.

However, Horace was not willing to leave just like that. He could not help but approached Clara again. "Clara, what happened back then was all my fault. Can you forgive me and let's get back together?"

Horace looked into Clara's eyes with anticipation. Would she ever forgive him?

Back together? Clara burst out laughing, trying to get her back to him, what did Horace think she is? He could just take her or leave her?!

Looking up at Horace, Clara's gaze was sharp and her tone was downright sarcastic.

"Did you misunderstand something? I ask Sean to tell you the truth back then, it didn't mean I want to get back with you. I just wanted you to know what you did wrong back then!"
