Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 400

Horace was shocked to hear her say his name. Feeling a little frustrated that she had figured him out, he was also happy for her familiarity with him.

After wiping the blood at the corner of his mouth, Horace took the blindfold off her face.

The light stung her eyes, which made Clara close her them. Horace felt guilty and hurt as he saw her like that, and soon raised his hand and blocked the bright light from her.

When she had adjusted herself to the light, Clara put away his hand. Clara was fumed as she saw the face she had expected to see, and tried to get away from him with both of her hands. "Let go!"

Horace fixed her wrists firmly on him with his hand. Though he had asked the men to cover the rope with moquette, but he was still afraid that it would injure her.

After her failed attempts to struggle free, Clara got angrier. "Loose the rope. What the hell are you doing by taking me here?!"

"I just want to speak to you." Ignoring her wrath, Horace looked at her fondly with his eyes full of tenderness. "Clara, I miss you."

"And this is what you do to the person you miss!" Clara glared at him. "This is a crime. Don't you know it? If you won't let me go, I'll call the police!"

"Then I will stay with you here forever and never let you go," Horace said with an earnest face, hard to tell whether he was joking or serious.

"How dare you!" Clara was a little scared by the seriousness in his look.

"I dare," Horace said softly, staring at her eyes, "But I love you too much to do that to you."

"Horace Kirkland..." Clara felt she had been fooled, and didn't know how to respond to him.

Seeing her speechless face, Horace laughed at her quietly. "Clara, I was just joking."

"I'm in no mood for a joke. Loose the rope!" Clara got hysterical as she saw him laughing.

Getting kidnapped by her ex-husband for no reason, was that god's way of messing around with her?

"If I loosen the rope, you will leave," said Horace in a helpless and melancholy tone. "Clara, how long since the last time we talked? Relax, I just want to chat with you, and I will ask Isaac to take you back."

Unwilling to look at Horace, who was unending to let her go, Clara turned away her angry face. Was he the same Horace she had known? How could he had done such thing as kidnapping?

Horace gently reached out his hand to touch her cheek, and asked sadly, "Clara, we haven't seen each other for years. Have you ever missed me a little bit?"

The words revoked her painful memory of giving birth to her son.

Because the baby was not exactly in the right position, it took her a lot pain to bear him. When she was in tremendous pain and was about to give up, had she ever thought about her husband?

To stop her tears from coming out, Clara clenched her teeth and said, "No, not even a tiny bit. I have had such a great life without you around. I'm very happy."
