Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister -
Chapter 538 Still Haven't Found Him?
Knowing that Natalie was Chester's daughter, she was surprised at first and didn't really take it seriously.
It had nothing to do with Natalie, but Clara would not let her son hang out with someone whose father had just acquired her husband's company. And she secretly decided to transfer Neo to another school.
"Hi, miss. I didn't expect to see you here." Natalie came to greet Clara when the latter was stunned.
Clara nodded and was about to turn around and leave as she was not in the mood to talk to Natalie.
"You just got here, and you're leaving now?"
Chester's voice came from behind the second Clara turned around.
His voice was so loud that she couldn't pretend like she didn't hear.
"Hi, Mr. Saunders, I just wanted to stop by," Clara said in a cold voice.
She was actually cold and only people with a close relationship would see her being lovely.
So she was cold to others.
"Well, how about a cup of tea?" Seeing her body and face, Chester thought she wasn't a beauty. Chester didn't know what Horace loved about her. Was there something special about Clara?
Men were always attracted to mysterious women, especially a playboy like Chester.
He had a daughter but there was more than one illegitimate child out there.
And there was more than one mistress.
He didn't love his wife and he just married her for money and power.
Now that he had both, he didn't have to pretend anymore.
And his heartbroken wife stayed at home all day long which made Chester hate her more.
"No, thanks. If there's nothing else, I should go." Clara took a glance at Chester, nodded, and turned around to leave without his reply.
Clara was normally polite but she didn't want to chat with him today as she was not in the mood.
She did that because she thought a CEO wouldn't hold her up in front of all those people in the company.
Besides, she was quite surprised at Chester being here now. Normally, a man of his status wouldn't bother to show up personally in a company that he normally wouldn't have laid eyes on. It was the second day since he bought this company, and he just couldn't wait? Was there any hidden value of this company that she didn't know about?
Clara shook her head at this thought, knowing that she was overthinking again.
She decided to go home as it was getting dark and she hadn't found Horace.
Neo was already asleep when she got home as it was late.
She walked into Neo's room, looked at him sleeping, and kissed his cheek.
Then looked around and closed the door gently.
Clara had a little dinner and went back to her room.
It was less cozy and warm without Horace at home and she had no interest in anything.
Walking up the stairs and looking at everything around her, Clara knew that he would never come back.
Even if he did, it would be after a long time.
She pushed the room door open. It was their room that held most of the memory.
But she didn't want to keep recalling it because she needed to get used to life without him.
She needed to move on while waiting for him.
There was a dark shadow in the dead of night. No one knew who he was or where he was going.
The next morning, Clara got up and took Neo to another kindergarten that was closer to GLAM.
She didn't want Neo to be in the same kindergarten with Natalie for many reasons.
"Mom, why do I need to transfer?"
Neo was picked up from the kindergarten a few days earlier and got a couple of days off, but now Clara transferred him to another one which confused him. "Because this kindergarten is closer to where I work, don't you want that?"
It was a hard time after losing Horace, and Clara was trying to get used to it. But her face was still stiff.
Her smile looked like a forced one to Neo.
"I do." Neo knew what had happened. Horace had left and Clara was alone now.
So Neo would do everything as Clara said to protect her and not to upset her.
Seeing that Neo was so nice and kind, she remembered how she got mad at Horace before.
They were so different but they were both so important to her.
Clara took Neo to the kindergarten and felt better seeing that he was comfortable there.
Her phone rang when she was about to leave.
It was Logan.
Clara picked it up, "Come home later, I need to talk to you."
Logan said it and hung up after Clara's reply.
She was going to work this morning but it seemed impossible. So she made a call to GLAM and asked for a day off.
Clara smiled bitterly and took a cab to the Hutchinson house.
She knew why her brother wanted to talk to her, and it was about Horace.
She didn't feel like talking about this right now but she had no choice.
Logan was her brother and it was natural that he cared about her.
Sitting in the cab and listening to the music played by the driver, Clara was resting with her eyes closed with ease.
The Hutchinson residence was a bit far away from the city center because Logan liked it quiet and peaceful.
"We are here, ma'am." It was already there but Clara didn't move so the driver said to her.
Clara opened her eyes and saw that she arrived. She nodded at the driver apologetically, paid him, and got off the cab.
The house still looked the same.
Clara took a deep breath and then walked in.
"Logan."
Seeing that he was sitting on the couch in the living room, Clara forced a smile and said to him.
"Now, stop that smile. It's worse than a crying face." Logan walked toward her and held her in his arms for a long time. "How's it going? Still haven't found him?"
Logan had already known the whole thing and wanted to talk to her. But he didn't ask her to come back then since he was afraid that she might not be in the mood to talk about it.
