Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 49

Not knowing why but hearing that Clara and Horace were married, Darren couldn't control his anger.

"Tell me. Are you regretful? I am a Kirkland too. And I am a healthy man, not a cripple like Horace."

Darren could help but started to insult Horace under his great anger. "My father told me that after the accident ten years ago, Horace didn't only lose his leg but also his sexual ability. Wow, Clara! You are so open-minded. You don't mind marrying such a man just for the money?"

"Darren! Shut the fuck up!" Clara roared.

She could stand Darren humiliating her, but when he started to insult Horace, she lost control of her anger.

Thinking of Horace, such a perfect man, always sitting in a wheelchair, the inadvertent dejection on his face, Clara suddenly found Darren so hateful.

It was because of such a family that Horace had to pretend to be crippled for a decade.

Darren didn't expect Clara to be so angry. He paused.

Yet Clara didn't want to look at him anymore.

"Darren," She said coldly, "I know that you don't feel good. You thought that Horace and I were in a shameful relationship, but on the contrary, we are a legitimate couple. But don't worry about us. I know better than you about his sexual ability!"

After saying this, she went straight out of his office and slammed the door hard.

Darren remained alone in the office, standing as if he had lost his soul.

It wasn't until his phone rang suddenly that he came back to his sense.

He Picked up his phone. Seeing "Ashlee" on it, he felt a stab of annoyance.

"Hello?" He answered, his tone impatient, "What's the matter?"

"Darren." Ashlee's sweet voice came from the other side of the line, "Are you busy?"

"I am fine. What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Ashlee sounded a little aggrieved, "We are going to get married, but I haven't even met your grandfather... After all, he is the head of the Kirkland family. So I shall pay a visit to him, right?"

Darren had wanted to say "We'll talk about this later." impatiently, but suddenly he thought of something and his eyes flickered.

"You're right." He calmed down, "Not only my grandfather, but also my uncle and aunt, and some other people in the family, you should meet all of them."

"Really?" Ashlee said joyfully, "So when?"

"Soon." The corners of Darren's mouth raised coldly, "I'll arrange a family dinner and invite everyone, to formally introduce you."

At six o'clock, Clara left the office immediately. She couldn't wait.

When she got up, there were still many people discussing her with disdainful eyes.

Clara felt annoyed.

She couldn't stand Darren and these people. She thought that now since her mother's condition had stabilized, maybe she should change her job.

Clara wandered all the way home only to find that Horace was already at home, and not in a wheelchair, but standing in the living room. "You're back?" Horace said lightly.

Clara glanced around the house, changed into slippers, and asked, "Haven't Martha and Donald come back yet?"

"I gave them a long vacation."
