Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister
Chapter 553 Apology

"The Jocelyn did so because she loved dad."

Neo's words shocked Clara. She didn't know why Jocelyn was so hostile to her. Now she understood.

"How did you know that?"

"She kept staring at dad at the banquet."

That's why.

But Clara was still blaming Horace in his mind. Even Neo had known what had happened.

Neo also knew what was in his mother's mind. But he could only console her, "Don't bother, mom. I'm with you."

Then he twinkled his eyes and that made Clara feel quite happy.

At least, Neo trusted her.

She was just trying to check what was inside the box. But Jocelyn said she was going to steal it.

She did like that box. But she would never steal it.

With Neo's hand in hand, Clara was still wondering how Horace would apologize to her when he got back home.

Clara had made up her mind that if Horace failed to give her a reasonable explanation, she wouldn't forgive him. Then she called a taxi and got back home with Neo.

She wanted to walk back home alone. But now with the presence of Neo, she was afraid that it would make Neo feel tired. So, she called a taxi.

As soon as they arrived, Clara asked Neo to take his class as the tutor had already arrived.

Clara had replaced all the tutors of Neo except Leilah since Neo told her how incompetent some of his tutors were.

She didn't want any unqualified tutor to teach Neo.

Clara got back to her bed room and grabbed something to eat on her bed.

She hadn't eaten anything on her bed before. But today she was not in the mood to eat anything beside the table.

Then Clara soon got asleep on her bed.

That's why when Horace got back, he saw potato chips spread all over the bed and some chips where even on her face.

Horace took the chip bag away and then threw the chips on the bed into the dustbin one after another.

When he finished, Clara had woken up.

She suddenly opened her eyes and that scared Horace a little bit.

Then he smiled at Clara, "Do you feel hungry? We can have dinner together downstairs."

It was one hour past dinnertime. But it wasn't quite late now to have dinner.

After all, it would harm her stomach if she went to bed hungry.

It might even lead to stomach disorders if she did so.

Clara looked at Horace and then remained silent and turned away. She needed his apology first!

Horace knew what was in her mind. He also got on the bed and held his wife in arms.

"I must say those because it was an important occasion. I did trust you, C. You know, that woman is Chester's daughter. If I blame her, there would be no collaboration between the two companies." Horace said softly and that moved Clara a bit.

Actually, Clara's anger had already faded away since she got back home this afternoon.

Now she just wanted an explanation from Horace.

"And most importantly, I needed you to take care of Neo."

Horace held her in arms more tightly as he knew she had forgiven him.

"You knew he was following us?"

Clara turned away and looked at Horace.

"I knew it when I saw he called a taxi to follow us."

Horace's words finally dispersed the remaining anger in her mind because Clara came to know he did so for Neo.

"Now you forgive me?" Horace smiled and stroked her nose.

Clara nodded yet still remained silent.

After all, Horace really irritated her today. She could understand his behavior. But she still wanted him to know how she felt.

"Well, well, I've made dinner for us. Shall we have dinner together?"

Before he got back to the bedroom, he did some cooking to win her forgiveness.

Clara did feel hungry right now. She washed her face and followed Horace downstairs.

Neo was sitting beside the table, waiting for them to have dinner together. As he saw her parents came downstairs hand-in-hand, he knew that Clara had forgiven Horace. Neo combed his hair with his hand and then began to eat.

Horace had made great progress in cooking. He might soon be a better cook than Clara.

But he still loved to eat the dishes cooked by Clara since he could feel her love for him in the dishes.

"You like it?" Horace asked Clara.

Clara nodded and continued to eat.

Clara didn't like to talk while eating and Horace knew that.

Then they had their dinner quietly.

Next day, on her way to her company, Clara was still now satisfied with the explanation offered by Horace, though it seemed quite reasonable.

There must be something wrong.

But then she decided to forget what happened yesterday.

When she got to her company, she saw every one was working on their own seat.

But it was not the working hours yet. Why were they so serious?

Clara thought she had got the time wrong. She checked her phone again and found it was not the working hours yet.

"Why are you working so hard?" Clara walked over to Leilah and asked her confusedly.

"It is said that Mr. Kirkland will come today.

Since Horace acquired the company, no one in this company had met him in person. They only knew that the new president was named Horace Kirkland.

Today as it was said that Horace would come to this company, all the staff here felt quite excited because they heard that Horace was a handsome young businessman. They just wanted to show how hard they were working here.
