Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 285

Seeing that Laura finally agreed, Helena hurriedly stepped aside to make way for her with a content smile on her face. "Yeah, I'll go. I won't waste your time."

Without sparing another look at Helena, Laura walked straight into the house as she murmured, "So freaking annoying. Who does she think she is?"

Helena watched as Laura closed the door, and left the Hutchinson family's residence reluctantly.

Clara, who just witnessed all that, didn't come forward to stop Helena. Instead, she just stood there watching Helena's leaving figure, deep in thought.

She felt a little uncomfortable and suspicious when she recalled the way Helena talked to Laura.

Why was Helena so concerned about Laura?

She went to Laura's death anniversary despite the fact that she was seriously ill that day. She even slapped Clara for Laura.

At first, Clara thought that it might be because Helena had watched Laura grow up and had been taking care of her since Laura was little.

Now that Clara knew she wasn't Helena's biological daughter, she became more and more suspicious of Helena and Laura's relationship. Helena didn't really act like a housekeeper around Laura.

She acted more like Laura's... Clara was shocked by her own thoughts. It couldn't be, could it? But that was the only reasonable explanation.

"What are you doing here?" A voice sounded from behind and shocked Clara out of her trance.

Clara turned around in a panic to find Logan standing right behind her.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me."

Logan curiously looked in the direction Clara was staring at but found nothing. "What are you doing here?" Logan smiled as he repeated his question, taking in the cute expression on Clara's face.

Clara was relieved when she saw that Helena had left. She wouldn't know how to explain Helena's presence if Logan had seen her.

"To see you." Clara made up a random excuse.

Hearing that, Logan asked in confusion, "Me? What's matter? "

"Nothing. Happened to drop by." Clara was trying to up a detailed story in her head. "So I wanted to see if you are home or not. It's a nice day to catch up. Don't you think?"

"Oh, is that so?" Logan doubted. He noticed that Clara was avoiding eye contact when she said that and thought that she might be lying.

But he believed that Clara had no malicious intentions no matter what she was trying to hide from him.

For some reason, Logan felt close to Clara the first time he met her. Every time he saw her, he wanted to make her happy. He felt ineffably happy every time he saw her smile.

But Logan knew very well that he was not into Clara romantically. Clara was more like a... a family member to him. He wanted to protect her from harm, wished her to be happy all her life, and hoped to see her smile every day. However, he didn't have the kind of possessiveness that men usually had towards women.
