Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 557

"Oh, my sweet sweet Neo Boy, I know you love mommy the most."

Clara smiled. It seemed that Neo was the only person who cherished her now.

And so did her brother, of course.

Thinking that there were still people in this world who cared about her,

Clara's mood brightened up a little bit.

Clara used to be so hooked on Horace. But now she figured that he was probably not the right person, so she wanted to give up on this unrequited love.

Although it might be hard at first, it would be almost definite for her to let go completely with time.

Clara waited all day for Horace to come home in the evening.

Since Neo was there with her, Clara forced a smile on her face and pretended there was nothing wrong between Horace and her.

She didn't want to ruin Neo's childhood.

"Honey, what are we having for dinner?"

Horace asked as if nothing had happened. The way Horace addressed her grossed Clara out.

"He calls me 'honey' now, but how many 'honeys' does he have out there?"

Clara put on a bitter smile and shook her head disappointedly as she looked at Horace.

Then, the three sat down at the dining table and started eating. Neo put all Clara's favorite food in her bowl.

Clara was surprised that Neo actually knew what her favorite dishes were.

She felt a familiar warmth inside.

Horace was just sitting there eating silently. When he saw the celery in Clara's bowl, he simply took the pieces of celery from her bowl and put them in his mouth.

Neo glared at Horace as he did that. "That is for mommy!"

"Your mom doesn't like celery,"

Horace explained to Neo. Neo turned to Clara.

Clara nodded helplessly. Horace was not completely wrong.

Indeed, she found the taste of celery revolting. But she had gotten used to it long ago. Celery wasn't in season these days. They barely cook celery at home. It was only natural if Neo didn't know that Clara disliked celery.

Horace shifted his gaze to Clara, then smiled warmly at her. Although Clara was mad at Horace, she still found him handsome from the bottom of her heart.

"Wait. Do you still like him? What's so likable about him? Control yourself!" Clara thought.

Then, she shook the thought out of her mind and continued to finish the food in her bowl.

Horace was watching Clara's every move just now. He found her adorable and wanted to smile, but he held it back.

Therefore, he just lowered his head and focused on the dinner.

After being confined in the house for three days, Clara finally took the chance and got out.

She wanted to see what game Horace was playing and whether he was with Jocelyn Landry right now.

If he wasn't, she would carefully watch him in secret for a few days. If she caught them in a hotel room together, she would walk away from this relationship without a look back.

In fact, Horace was throwing Clara off guard with his charm and consideration these days. She was suspicious of the words on the street anyway.

And although newspapers were reporting that he was having an affair, the authenticity of the news was still up for debate. She knew she had to take it with a grain of salt.

After all, some editors would exaggerate things and even twist the truth for views.

Therefore, she wanted to see for herself.

Clara crept into the company, and stopped at Horace's office.

She listened at the door for a moment, trying to detect a movement. However, nothing was heard.

The door wasn't locked, so when she eagerly leaned forward to get a better hearing, she directly fell into Horace's office.
