Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 23

His shirt was too big for Clara. Even if all the buttons were buttoned up, her slender collarbone was exposed. As she got out of bed, her slender legs were still vaguely visible to him.

Horace looked away involuntarily.

He always considered himself as very well self-disciplined; yet at this time, he still felt desires start to flood over his senses. After gobbling down some ice water, he finally calmed down a little bit.

Clara didn't notice Horace's strange behaviors, so she just sat down to have breakfast.

"I'll be back this afternoon." Halfway through the meal, Horace suddenly said, "are you coming with me?"

Clara thought of what happened at the dinner party last night. Her eyes darkened and she nodded quickly, "I'll go with you."

Now she could not think too much of it. Even if she needed this job, she could not bear Darren anymore.

"OK."

Clara suddenly remembered something and asked him, "By the way, why are you in Queensvale?"

Upon hearing this, Horace's hand holding the knife at this moment was imperceptibly sluggish, but he quickly recovered and gave a very simple reply, "I'm having a temporary meeting here."

"Oh, ok." Clara didn't think too much about it and focused on her food.

After the clothes taken for dry cleaning were sent back, Clara and Horace took a taxi to the airport and returned to Stratmont.

Isaac Duncan was already waiting in the hotel lobby. Having seen Clara with Horace, he was surprised.

He had been wondering why the young master came to Queensvale in such a hurry yesterday. Now it turned out that he was there to look for his wife. How unexpected, he thought.

"Horace, here are some documents for you to sign." Although Isaac was shocked, he didn't dare to show it. He handed the document to Horace while glancing over at Clara.

Speaking of this lady, the news he learned yesterday was explosive. Who would have thought that her first love was...

Isaac was still there thinking about it when he suddenly heard a cold cough. Isaac immediately shivered, turned his head, and saw Horace looking at him with cold eyes.

Isaac knew the young master was unhappy so he lowered his head and stood aside.

Clara didn't notice anything strange about those two men, so she just got in the limo with Horace.

After sitting down, Horace finished reading the document and closed the file. Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Clara, "Baby, would you like to see my family this weekend?"

Baby?

Clara was stunned by Horace's new address for her. She froze for several seconds before agreeing and said, "OK."

Clara was also curious about Horace's family. It was about time for her to meet them.

Clara never could have thought that there could be anything wrong with meeting his family, but when Isaac heard their conversation, he suddenly felt as if he had been punched in the chest and could not help but look at them repeatedly in the rearview mirror.

Jesus! Did the young master just say he would take his wife to see his family?

So this meant...

Isaac could not even dare to think about the consequences.

So this was how Clara returned to Stratmont. Meanwhile, Darren was delayed for quite a few days.

He originally intended to collaborate with Mr. Muller's magazine, but when he got up the next morning, he noticed that his company was sued because of fake news and false advertising and was about to go bankrupt.

Darren was surprised as well as shocked.

He was no fool. he was aware that such an upheaval could never be a coincidence.

Muller was someone important in Queensvale. If there was a man that could do this to Muller overnight, it must be him.

Darren was infuriated.
