Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 267

Horace helped Clara to lie on her bed and tucked up, "Have a good rest."

"Horace, I…" Clara wanted to ask about Solrace's problem. But she also feared that her question might irritate Horace.

Horace saw Clara's sincere eyes and he knew Clara wouldn't calm down if he didn't give her an explanation. So, he made up a reason and said, "There is a flaw in our cyber defense system. We were hacked and clients' information was leaked."

He didn't want to tell her the truth. Things wouldn't change whether he told her the truth or not. She would just be feeling more guilty.

And he didn't want Clara to remember what happened. Maybe the doctor was right. It's good to forget sometimes.

Hearing his words, Clara seemed to understand and she didn't suspect his words.

She took Horace's hand and she found she had no idea how to comfort her love. She just held Horace's hand more tightly to let him feel her support for him.

Horace knew what was in Clara's mind and he patted her hand, "That's fine. I will deal with it and you don't have to worry. Now the most important thing for you is to have a good rest on your bed."

Seeing Horace was still worried about her health, Clara was quite moved and she sat up and hugged Horace in sympathy while whispering to him, "Things will get better."

"They certainly will." Horace also held her in arms tightly.

These days he had been heading here and there to deal with his clients and the journalists, which really exhausted him. Now Clara's hug had somewhat relieved his stress.

They kept holding each other in arms for a long time and Clara felt Horace was much heavier as if he was going to collapse on her.

"Horace," Clara couldn't stand it anymore and called Horace softly. But there was no response.

"Horace?" Clara raised her head and turned to Horace's face. She felt somewhat relieved as she saw Horace had been asleep.

Clara lied back onto the bed slowly to let Horace lie on her bed. Then she tucked up for him and stroked his face affectionately. He must be so tired these days.

Clara was afraid that she would wake Horace up and she put her hand down and just lied beside him quietly.

…

Meanwhile, Laura Hutchinson and Sean Kirkland met at an unfrequented restaurant.

"Seemingly, you're not as competent as you said. You still let Clara escape despite your promise," Sean said scornfully.

Laura, however, simply ignored him, "But you still got what you want."

"That's right. I didn't expect Horace to be so deep in love with Clara. He's willing to do anything for her. I don't think you have a chance."
