Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 191

Horace lowered his voice which sounded scarier with hostility in his eyes.

Ashlee was intimidated but could only vent her anger toward Clara for the sake of decency, and said, "Clara, how dare you turn against me! You think you can make all troubles go away by breaking off with the Middleton family? Listen, you have our dad's blood and you'll have it for life!"

Ashlee turned her head to Horace and said, "Mr. Kirkland, I meant well to see my sister today. I heard that she is pregnant so I just came to see her."

Ashlee thought she could smooth things over by saying this so Horace would be polite to her.

Unexpectedly, Horace just sneered and said in an extremely cold voice, "Ashlee, don't push it. You saved me and not Clara. I'll pay you back but you can't give her a hard time."

Horace's voice was scarily cold which frightened Ashlee.

But soon she scoffed, "Mr. Kirkland, don't forget who had saved you in the first place. Now you're talking to me in such an attitude?"

Ashlee sat on the sofa and crossed her arms, thinking confidently that Mr. Kirkland would bear her disrespect based on the fact that she had saved him after those words, and said, "Don't you want to pay me back? Didn't you say you guys are a couple and will handle all things together? Now what? Back out? I'm here as a guest, how come I can't ask your wife to pour me a cup of tea? Now she's pregnant and condescending? She's still a bastard..."

"Ashlee!"

Horace interrupted coldly before Ashlee could finish her words.

She was taken aback, looking up to him and meeting his scarily cold eyes.

"Get out!" Horace uttered two words and he obviously didn't bother to say more at all.

Ashlee was totally stunned.

"What do you mean by that?" she jumped to her feet and said, "How could you do this to your lifesaver..."

"I don't care if you saved my life," Horace interrupted again, "as long as you offend my wife, I won't forgive you."

Horace said gloomily while coldly staring at Ashlee, which made her feel like in a dungeon with shock.

Horace was a humane person in Ashlee's mind so she wanted to give Clara a hard time based on this.

But now...

Did Ashlee underestimate how much Clara meant to him?

"No, Horace is still useful. I can't push it too far and let him go."

At this thought, Ashlee changed her attitude instantly and touched her belly as if nothing happened.

"I'm sorry, I've been pregnant for so long, and it is natural to get so emotional and throw tantrums. You are so generous and forgiving, you'll forgive me, right? After all, you are pregnant, too."

Ashlee emphasized her pregnancy again like others didn't know they were all pregnant.

And Clara also froze hearing that Horace stood up for her.

She knew how much he cared about the person who saved him ten years ago so she had already prepared to put up with Ashlee's insult no matter how aggrieved she felt.

She didn't expect that Horace would stand up for her.

Clara felt so warm and happy that she didn't even care about Ashlee's provocation, and just said with a cold glance, "If you still remember you're pregnant, why don't you just say what you want, fix this and then go back to get some rest?"

Ashlee grimaced and sneered, "I want to talk to Mr. Kirkland privately."

Clara didn't want to cause any trouble as the anger appeared in Horace's face again, and said, "Well, I'll go rest."

Clara went back to her room without bothering to take a look at Ashlee as she said it.
