Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 248

"So you sent the birthday video too？"Clara didn't expect that Laura had been paying attention to her since then.

Hearing this, Laura became more aggressive. "Who would it be otherwise? Clara, you are too stupid. I didn't even have the desire to fool you anymore."

After saying that, Laura left proudly.

Clara was left alone in the pantry. It took her a while to come back to herself.

She couldn't believe that Laura was "Back2Past". Laura was right, she was too stupid to find it only now. She couldn't blame others for being tricked.

Clara worked the entire day under unfriendly eyes. After work, she felt exhausted, both mentally and physically.

When she reached home, Horace hadn't returned yet.

She forced herself not to think about Laura and had a bath, which made her feel better. Then, she felt hungry. She smiled bitterly when she realized that she didn't eat the entire day.

The servant asked for a leave that day. Clara got changed, and went downstairs, preparing to cook. In the middle of the stair, she saw Horace enter the villa. Looking at each other, they both felt rather awkward.

Clara stood there, hesitating about whether to go back to her bedroom or go down to the kitchen. After pondering for a few seconds, she chose the latter. But she didn't speak to Horace.

Being ignored, Horace stood still at the door.

After a moment, he entered the door and went to the study. He turned on the computer, wanting to continue his work. But Clara's cold eyes kept popping up in his head. He couldn't focus. Thinking that he couldn't get along with Clara like this forever, he got up and went downstairs.

At the door of the kitchen, Horace saw Clara cook spaghetti. Hesitating for a while, he asked, "Baby, I am kind of hungry, can you cook some for me too?"

Clara had seen Horace at the door, but since he didn't speak and she didn't know what he wanted, so she pretended that she didn't see him.

Hearing Horace's request, Clara thought to herself, "I knew it."

The servant was not home. Horace, growing up as a rich kid, didn't know how to cook. He would be starving. So, she had prepared food for two people before he asked.

Even though they were at a cold war, she wouldn't let him starve. But she didn't answer Horace, because she didn't want to give in.

Being ignored, Horace felt kind of awkward. Yet he didn't know how to give in. So, after standing there embarrassed for a moment, he went back to his study.

Sitting at the desk in the study, Horace felt regret. He should have asked one more time, maybe Clara would answer. Now, he had no reason to spark a conversation again.

Seeing Horace leave, Clara felt pleased. She bet it was the first time that Horace had been ignored for something like eating. Thinking of his embarrassed expression, Clara smirked.
