Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 299

Just as Clara was praying inside, she heard a ringtone from inside the bedroom. She was devastated, because she knew it was Horace's phone in there.

She set it for him a few days ago when she had nothing to do, which meant she couldn't be wrong. Was it really him in there?

Clara kept shaking her head and refused to believe her guess. She hoped that Horace could answer the phone right now and tell her he wasn't home. She would believe him if he told her so.

However, God didn't seem to hear her prayer, Laura's words came again.

"Hey! Don't answer that bumpkin's phone right now, it will spoil the mood… Ah… This is nice…"

Clara didn't hear Horace's answer to Laura's words, but the phone was hung up the second Laura finished her words.

"Sorry. The number you dialed can't come to the phone right now, please try again later…" the busy tone came and Clara felt weak in her hand holding the phone. She sat on the ground and felt worn out.

She finally knew what despair felt like now. She had tried to find so many excuses for Horace and didn't want to believe he would do this to her, but in the end, she was proven to be a dumb woman.

Tears fell down her eyes. "Horace, you bastard! I was too blinded to see what kind of person you really are!"

But, why? She couldn't figure it out. A few days ago, why didn't he agree to the divorce when she made it all clear to him? Why did he act like he really loved her?

It had been a long time since Laura reappeared in his life, he couldn't have told her any day during it that he was still in love with her. If he did, she wouldn't have been so stupid to stick to their marriage and think that Horace loved her still.

Since he didn't love her anymore, why didn't he tell her? Why did he wait till today and let her find out about everything in this way? Why?

All these questions kept spinning in her head, driving her crazy.

She had thought that she knew Horace, since she had known him for a long time, but it was not until today that she finally realized she knew nothing about him. She didn't know why he chose not to divorce her.

Was it because he wanted to keep his public image? Clara knew that his company had been facing a crisis and he had been busy recently. Was it because he was worried that people would speak ill of him and bring the company to further dilemma if he divorced her?

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on her face. It was the only thing she could think of. It turned out that it wasn't because he loved her that he refused to the divorce and part with her. He simply refused because of his company's interests.

Was it why he changed his mind and said he was willing to accept the baby? Was it why he was so afraid and told her not to mention divorce again? Did he want to dump her after Solrace was out of trouble?
