Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 452

Seeing the door open, Helena pushed Horace out of the way, hurried into the room, and looked around. Seeing that Laura was indeed here, Helena stepped forward hurriedly and shielded her.

"Clara, Laura didn't mean it. Could you let her go, please?" Helena looked at Clara as she pleaded on Laura's behalf.

Looking at the person standing in front of her with open arms, Laura couldn't help but feel happy inside. Having been forced by Clara to tell what had happened back then, she had no hope of escaping, but what she hadn't expected was that even God had helped her so much, and Helena had come at this time.

Immediately dumbfounded, Laura sobbed, "Aunt Helena... Aunt Helena... I..."

Heartbroken, Helena turned around and bent down to wipe Laura's tears before taking her in her arms and comforting her with a choked voice, "It's okay, Laura, it's okay now, don't be afraid. Aunt Helena is here. I will protect you and will never let anyone hurt you. "

After coaxing Laura like a child, Helena turned to Clara and knelt, "Clara, it was Laura's fault this time. I apologize for her. Please forgive her. Don't take it personally, okay? Just think of it as Mum begging you."

Hastily stepping forward to pull Helena up, Clara panicked at her sudden kneeling down, "Get up first. What are you doing?"

Taking Clara's hand, Helena cried, "Clara, for my sake, will you let Laura go? She didn't mean it. I apologize for her. I'm sorry. Clara, could you forgive her, huh? If you don't, then I won't get up."

At Helena's plea for mercy, Clara felt slightly confused while flustered. Helena didn't know that Laura had helped Sean to kidnap Horace, so why did she ask for mercy?

After a quick flash of what happened earlier, Clara suddenly recalled the moment when she had said goodbye to Helena in the kitchen, and she had pulled her back and looked like she wanted to say something.

Suddenly figuring something out, Clara twitched her lips and looked at Helena in disbelief as she asked, "You knew Laura had drugged me during dinner, didn't you?"

"She didn't meant to!" Helena hurriedly spoke up, "Clara, Laura is too young. She doesn't know better. It was just a prank."

At Helena's words, Clara didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. A prank, how dare she say it was a prank! Did she not even have half a place in her heart?

Heartbroken, Clara's whole body was suffused with sadness as she questioned Helena word for word.

"You found out Laura had drugged me when I was at your house for dinner, didn't you? That's why you stammered when I left; why didn't you tell me immediately? Weren't you at all worried about what would happen to me?"

"I... I wasn’t, Clara, I was just worried... I was worried..." Helena didn't know how to answer Clara's question. She could certainly feel Clara's sadness, so how could she say something like she was worried about her getting back at Laura.
