Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 22

Upon hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Darren felt that his heart was having a spasm. He immediately hung up the phone without a second thought.

Staring at his mobile phone for a long time, he suddenly burst into crazy laughter.

Although it was only a "hello", he recognized the voice.

That was Horace.

That was really Horace!

Clara was really with Horace!

Darren laughed as tears almost fell from his eyes. Looking at the name "Baby" on his phone screen, he suddenly felt that name was so hard to look at.

Clara, Clara...How much did I owe you in my last life? So in this life, you enjoyed so much torturing me in the way you did! You were already married, and you still chose to get entangled with other men. And why, that man had to be Horace!

At the other end of the line, Horace put down Clara's mobile phone without any changes in his facial expression.

"Who was that?" Clara was still leaning on the seat, half-paralyzed and half numb from the alcohol intake. As her head was still not very clear, Horace answered the call for her when her phone rang.

"It's just a spam call," Horace answered back, still without change in his voice.

"I see." Clara's head hurt too much to think about his words. All she could do is covering up her forehead with her hand.

"How about your head? Still hurting?" Horace was still somewhat angry with her, but at this time, seeing Clara's delicate face frowning, his tone became involuntarily soft.

"Yes," Clara responded. Then she felt a pair of big hands reaching over and covering her temples.

"Feeling better this way?"

Horace caresses Clara's temple with his slightly coarse fingers. Clara's cheek was like burning that even Horace's fingers felt a little bit cold.

Clara's body stiffened slightly. Her heartbeat got faster for no reason. She moved away from her body and said, "I'm much better now. Thank you."

But as she just moved away, Horace suddenly increased the strength in his hand to imprison her around him.

"Don't move." Horace opened his mouth. His voice seemed colder than usual.

Clara was a little stunned. She turned her head sideways and suddenly realized that Horace's expression was a bit different than what it usually was. It seemed that he was angry about something.

Clara woke up a little from intoxication and began cautiously speaking, "Horace, you upset about anything?"

It was obvious that he was because she was his wife. What kind of man would not be angry if his wife was molested by another man?

"What do you think?" Horace asked in a cold voice. The temperature in the car seemed to drop several degrees all of a sudden.

"Sorry," Clara whispered.

"So that is the only thing you would like to say?" Horace raised his eyebrows slightly.

Clara was stunned. Looking at Horace in front of her, she suddenly thought of something.

"Don't think too much about what just happened." Clara got anxious and said, "I thought this was just an ordinary dinner. Who could've expected that Mr. Muller would be like this?"

She was suddenly a little worried about this situation. She was afraid that Horace would misunderstand her as an easy girl, just as Darren did.

Somehow, she was extra anxious about his feelings.

Maybe it's because Horace now was her husband and the only one who had given her warmth. The last thing that she wanted was for him to hate her.

Horace looked at Clara with a strange light in his eyes.

"I know." He paused for a moment before he spoke. The tension in his tone seemed to have eased a bit.

As soon as Clara was relieved a little, Horace spoke again, "If there is an occasion like this in the future, please don't go again."

Clara nodded.

Clara was still a bit drunk at this time. Horace pressed her hand on her temple just with the right force. She felt very soothing and comfortable so that she was slowly leaning towards his shoulders. Feeling that soft body on his shoulders, Horace's body stiffened slightly.

He looked down and saw the glow on Clara's face, her long eyelashes trembling, her peachy juicy pink lips opened slightly.
