Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 17

Clara didn't want to refute or explain anything, because she knew that no matter how much she explained to those who never trusted her, it was wrong.

"I'm sorry." She apologized expressionlessly, but there was no apology in her tone.

In response to her insincere apology, Darren's expression became even paler. Just as he was about to say something, Ashlee, who was beside him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. She said in a pitiful voice, "Darren, forget it. My sister has already apologized. You don't have to argue with my sister."

It had to be said that Ashlee knew men very well.

Although she hated Clara very much, she knew that no matter what, Clara was Darren's first love. Moreover, men didn't liked aggressive women. They only liked sensible and generous women. Therefore, her words made her seem gentler and more considerate, which in turn let Clara become the ungrateful one.

How could Clara not understand? She only felt stuffy in her chest and couldn't help coughing softly.

"Ouch." As soon as hearing this cough, Valerie, who was originally angry, quickly pulled Ashlee away a little. "Clara, you still have a cold? Since you're still sick, why did you come to eat with us? Did you deliberately want to infect us?"

These absurd words only made Clara feel ridiculous, but when she looked up, she saw the three people in front of her looking at her with vigilance.

She suddenly felt that her heart became colder.

They were a family. They loved each other and faced the common enemy.

She was just an outsider, a complete outsider.

Why did she have to make a fool of herself here?

"Aunt Valerie, you are right." She said lightly, "I have caught a cold. I am not suitable to have dinner with you. I'll leave now."

After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at the three people in front of her and walked out of the wine cellar.

When she passed by Ashlee, she stopped and turned her head, and she caught Ashlee's victory-like posture. She smiled faintly.

"Sister." Clara opened her mouth and called her sister Ashlee, which was rare. "I wish you and Mr. Kirkland a happy life forever."

After that, she turned around and left without looking back.

When she walked out of the villa, she found that it was completely dark.

The Middleton villa was the same as Horace's villa. There was no taxi or bus station around. Clara had to turn on her mobile phone. As soon as she was about to use the Uber, it suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Horace, Clara was stunned and quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Hey, it's me." Horace's fruity voice sounded on the phone. "Are you eating at your father's house?"

For some reason, when she heard Horace's voice, Clara felt like crying. "It seems that I can't eat here." She said, trying to make her voice sound casual. "Because I caught a cold, I don't want it to affect others."

Horace paused for a moment on the phone, and then asked, "Where are you now?"

"I'm at Merivia Bay. Well... you eat first. Let Martha leave me a bowl of porridge. I'll go back soon."

After Clara finished speaking, there was dead silence on the phone. She couldn't help frowning. She took a look at her mobile phone, only to find that it was automatically turned off.

Damn it. Why did it turn off at this time?

Clara was a little annoyed and pressed her mobile phone several times, but there was still no response at this moment.

How did she go back if her mobile phone was out of power?

Clara struggled to recall the nearest bus station to this villa and walked forward.

Coincidentally, she was wearing high heels today. After she took a few steps, she was worn out.
