Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 30

 

Chapter 30 Why Pretending? Clara was stunned and shook her head.

Horace said that it was better nat for her to knows, 80 she never asked, “Ten years ago, Horace had a car accident.” Alastair said as if there was nothing to hide from her, “everyone thought that Horace was crippled in that accident, but in fact, he was only injured.

After arriving in the United States, he was cured” Clara recalled that she had seen the report of the car accident on the news that year.

Ai that time, Horace was less than 20 years old.

He had just entered college and was kidnapped.

The kidnappers asked for a ransom of $100 million.

This incident was so wildly reported that it was all over the news at that time.

It was said that after receiving the ransom, the kidnappers drove away with him as their hostages, but they did not expect a car accident on the road.

The kidnappers were killed on the spot, and Horace was seriously injured.

However, at that time, many details were closed to the public, so nobody knew that the second child of the Kirkdand family was injured in both legs.

The only thing the public knew was that he went to the States tor medical treatment and became weak and ill from then on.

“tve probably heard of some of that” Clara sald, "so after he was cured in the United Stetes, he continued to pretend to be disabled?” “Yes, Alastair tilted his head, “but guess why?” Clara did know how to react.

Alastair and Horace were really different.

Girls probably liked his personality better.

“Why?” Clara pretended to be thinking before she teplied, "Maybe because he did not want his family members to guatd against him?” In fact, Clara had thought about the reason Horace pretended to be disabled.

She had already had her own deduction.

At any rate, she was also a news reporter, Although she had no experience living In powerful families, she could guess that Horace’s endeavor to hide his recovery must have somethéng to do with his family.

‘She had never met Horace's eldest brother, o Darren's father, Sean.

However, it was widely known that Sean was a man with great ambition and tuthless means.

Now as Russell Kirkland got okler and weaker, Sean was slowly taking over his family's business.

Horace, on the other hand, completely put aside his relationship with his family and started from scratch.

That might also be to avoid conflicts with his elder brother.

So, could it be because of his brother? Clara was just guessing, but she had won the approval of Alastair, "Good guess, Clara.

You are a ‘smart gal!” Clara gave out an awkward smile, ‘lve seen many TV shows"

Alastaw laughed and said, *in fact, his family is too big and involved In too many business sectors.

The complexity is not much different from that of Netflix shows.

Anyway, he is more than a man born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

He has had a very difficult life over these years,” Clara was stunned but scon nodded.

For a whole decade, it must have been hard to have to sit in a wheelchair while being compietety healthy, and guarding against his own famity.

Alastair suddenly put away his smile and looked senous and said, “So, Clara, please promise me.

Make him happy.

Don't break his heart” Clara never expected those words from Alastair.

‘She was stunned, Make him happy? But what happiness could she give him? Before Clara could answer, she suddenly heard a steady footstep, accompanied by a cold voice, “what are you talking about?” Clara tumed around and saw that Horace got back.

Horace was standing.

His perfect body shape was outlined in a light blue shin, and his tong legs were straight and slender.

Ahint of sadnese flashed across Clara’: eyes.

How did it feel for an excelent man like him to have to sit In a wheelchair? ‘Tm telling Clara that I fell in love with her at first sight and was about to steal her from you’ As soon as Alastair saw Horace, he immediately showed a flirtatious amile, with an unseemly face.

“Horace, you know me.
