Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 51

Stunned, Clara took a few steps forward and found that the thing in Horace's hand was a pendant.

The pendant was an exquisite crystal pendant. It was obviously a more feminine style, very beautiful.

Clara was stunned.

Horace... Was he staring at a woman's pendant in a daze?

Who was the owner of this pendant? Was it the woman that Horace liked?

Somehow, this idea came to her mind, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She quickly shook her head and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

Clara, you had to remember who you were and what you should do. Now that you had known that Horace married you just for a nominal wife, what else did you expect?

Never expect anything that didn't belong to you. As an illegitimate daughter, didn't you understand this point at a very young age?

When Clara was in a trance, Horace suddenly turned his head and saw her. He frowned and said, "Why is your hair still wet? I told you that you should blow-dry your hair after shower."

It was not until then that Clara came back to her senses. She gave a wry smile and began to blow her head obediently.

He walked to her and put away the pendant in his hand. He said calmly, "This weekend Darren is going to hold an introduction party for his fiancée. Get ready and attend it with me."

Hearing that, Clara's hand froze all of a sudden. Looking at Horace standing behind her in the mirror, she hesitated, "Do I have to go?"

When she saw the coldness on Horace's face, she quickly said, "I see. I'll go."

One can escape a moment, but he can't run away forever at all. It was impossible for her to not see Darren and Ashlee all her life.

Horace's face softened a little and nodded, "Don't be nervous. I have ordered a dress for you. You can go to the store and take your measurements tomorrow."

Clara knew that a lot of people would come to the party. Although it was an introduction of Ashlee, she had to be more careful since it was the first time for her to appear in public as the wife of Horace. So, she nodded and agreed.

On the second day, Clara finished her interview early and came to the boutique that Horace told her to measure the size.

Clara had never been to such a place, so she was a little reserved. Fortunately, Horace was very considerate. Since he didn't have time, so he asked Isaac to accompany her.

"Mrs. Kirkland," Isaac had been waiting at the door of the boutique for a long time. When he saw Clara, he opened the door for her. "This way."

Following him, Clara saw the delicate decoration of the boutique. There were only a few customers in the shop, mainly the sales clerk.

When Clara came to the second floor, several beautiful girls came up to measure her size. She awkwardly raised her hand as to let them do the job. When she was looking forward to the end of all this, she suddenly heard a surprised voice—

"Clara?"

She was stunned. She turned around and saw Ashlee who had just gone upstairs looking at her in shock.

Clara's heart thumped.

What a small world! Why did she meet Ashlee?

This boutique was the best custom-made shop in the city, and Ashlee also came here to make the clothes for the weekend banquet. But Ashlee never thought that she would meet Clara, that bumpkin!

"Clara," Ashlee walked over in her orange and pink high-heeled shoes. "Why are you here? A poor woman like you can also come here?"
