Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 417 The Sudden Kiss

"Emm..." Clara didn't expect this and was caught off guard, which made Horace succeeded in kissing her.

Clara wanted to push him away, only to replace that her hands had been grabbed tightly by him and she couldn't escape at all.

Holding Clara's wrists with one hand and the back of her head with another, Horace kissed her domineeringly and urgently, as if he wanted to vent all his anger through the single kiss. He forced open her teeth and his tongue got into her mouth, sweeping in every corner to make her feel him.

Clara wanted to bite him, but Horace seemed to have seen through her. Before she could, he had held her chin with the hand that had been putting on the back of her head to prevent it.

After a long while and after he had tasted every corner of her mouth, Horace's anger finally began to dissipate and the kiss became gentle.

He felt more than satisfied kissing her on the lips, feeling that there were only the two of them in the world. How he wished this moment could last forever!

Clara, who had been struggling, felt weak and had to let him kiss her. She could clearly feel that he was kissing her gentler and gentler, she felt warmer in her heart and didn't want to resist anymore. Finally, when the kiss ended, Horace kept a certain distance from Clara. Looking at her with her eyes closed, Horace smiled and was more determined.

"Clara, you think I would give up on you for someone else? No, I won't! I never will. So, don't do this again."

Feeling his breath on her lips when he spoke, Clara opened her eyes with a flushed face, only to see Horace staring at her with deep affection.

"I love you, only you. I love you then, now, and always. Promise me you will never do something like that again, okay?" Horace promised solemnly as he looked into her eyes. His voice was so gentle and affectionate.

Hearing his confession of love, Clara heart beat faster and faster. She could even hear her heart pounding in her chest.

She couldn't help but blush. Without thinking anything more, she pushed Horace away and ran towards the crowd.

She had promised to herself that she wouldn't fall for him again, but now, she found that she had no control over it. Every time Horace got close to her, her heart would beat fast uncontrollably and she couldn't think straight at all.

Seeing her running away, Horace hurriedly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist from behind.

Forcing her to face him and staring into her eyes, Horace said, "Clara, I meant every word I just said, can't you give us one more chance? I promise, I..."

"Let's talk about that later," Clara interrupted him immediately and shook off his hand holding her wrist, "Everyone's watching. I don't want to be the center of conversation." Hearing her words, Horace looked behind her and found the crowd staring at them.

He looked back, saw Clara with an embarrassed look and felt sorry for her. Forget it. They had all the time in the world. There was no need to do it right here and right now.' Without saying anything more, he kept a two-step distance from Clara. "Let's go then. We shouldn't keep them waiting for too long."

Hearing his words, Clara had to admit that she was slightly moved. At least, he respected her.

Then they walked up to the crowd. Noticing everyone's gaze, Clara couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. She quickly found a topic and wanted to distract everyone.

"Since we are already here, let's replace a place to set your tents. It'll be hard to set them up if it gets dark."

Since she had spoken, everyone had to stop gossiping, they all echoed and started to walk forward, looking for a place to set up the tents.

There were a lot of trees on the island, and it took them a long time to replace a broad and safe place.

After asking for the tour guide's opinion, Clara asked everyone to start setting up their tents.

The crowd followed her orders, they were busy yet in order, each one of them had different task.

Forcing herself not to think about what had happened just now, Clara and Sarah were working together on figuring out how to stabilize the tent.

"Miss Hutchinson?" As she was discussing with Sarah, Clara heard Harper's voice coming from behind. She turned around and saw it was Harper indeed.

Thinking of her red eyes just now, Clara felt a bit sorry for her. Horace must have given her attitude just now.

"Harper, I'm sorry. Did he say something just now?" Clara walked up to her and asked with guilt.

"No. We got along quite well," beyond Clara's expectation, Harper replied with a bright smile, "Although he was a bit resistant to be at first, we had a nice chat. Moreover, I think Mr. Kirkland..." Speaking of this, Harper covered her mouth and smiled shyly. "I think he appreciates me. Maybe he was just a bit to get close to me with you around. Miss Hutchinson, can I ask you for one more favor?" "What?" Hearing her words, Clara somehow felt uncomfortable. She had seen it with her own eyes how happy they were just now, therefore, she had no doubts about Harper's words.

"How hypocritic Horace was! Since he had such a good time with Harper, why did he pretend to be angry with her and say those disgusting words to me?" Clara thought to herself

"So, I was wondering if you can help me create a space with him alone later. I want to spend more time with him since he likes me, you know, to get closer to him." When Harper said these words, she put on an excited look.
