Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 461

"What did you say? How did this happen?" Clara panicked when she heard that her son went missing. Her hands were shaking.

"Neo said he wanted some bread, so I went to make it for him. But when I returned from the kitchen, he was nowhere to be found. I looked everywhere and still couldn't find him!" The nanny was both anxious and scared. "I'm sorry, Miss Hutchinson. It's all my fault. I should never have let him out of my sight..."

Hearing the nanny's weeping, Clara forced herself to calm down. Although she was worried sick now, she couldn't panic.

"Stop crying. Maybe he is playing outside. You can go look for him nearby the house. I'll go home right now."

Clara also comforted herself in the back of her mind. This was not the first time that Neo ran around without telling anyone. Last time, he went home safely, didn't he? Nothing bad would happen. It would be okay. Maybe he ran to the neighborhood to play. Nothing bad would happen to him. Don't panic.

After hanging up the phone, Clara turned to Horace and said anxiously, "It's an emergency. I have to be home right now, hurry up."

Hearing that, Horace immediately stepped on the accelerator. He glanced at Clara worriedly, "What's wrong? Did someone get lost or something?"

"It's nothing." Staring nervously at the road ahead, Clara decided against the idea of telling Horace what happened. She hadn't figured out her relationship with Horace yet, so she felt that it would be best not to let him know about Neo's existence.

"Clara, just tell me what happened. Maybe I can help." Horace obviously didn't believe Clara's words. She sounded so worried earlier. How could there be nothing?

"It's really nothing. Don't ask any more questions. Just drive me home now." Clara's tone was almost aggressive. She really didn't want to deal with Horace right now. She was worried about Neo's safety.

Sensing that Clara was a bit angry, Horace refrained from the urge of asking more questions. "She doesn't trust me enough to tell me about this?" He couldn't help feeling a little hurt. Horace stepped on the clutch without saying another word and swept past in the direction of the Hutchinson family's residence.

After arriving home, Clara hurriedly unfastened her seat belt as she blurted, "You can go now. Thank you for the ride. Sorry for the trouble."

Just as Clara was about to get off the car, Horace grabbed her by the wrist and asked seriously, "Clara, you seem to be in a hurry. You really don't need my help?"

Seeing Horace's solemn expression, Clara shook her head after hesitating for a moment. "No, I can handle this myself. Just go. If I really need help, I'll call you."

"I think I'll wait here. Just in case you need me." Horace was also a little upset seeing that Clara insisted on not telling him what happened.

Clara was made a bit anxious by what Horace just said. If he waited here, he would surely find out about Neo. Frowning, Clara urged Horace, "It's the Hutchinson family's business. My brother and I can handle it. Just go."

"I won't go until I know the matter is addressed." He would definitely worry about Clara if he went back like this anyway. It would be better for him to stay here.
