It was already dark outside so Horace planned to drive Clara back home.

But Clara opened the door directly and left without saying anything.

Horace then made a phone call and drove to the hotel.

Their conversation on the car made Clara feel quite agonized.

Yesterday, Horace must be lying to her.

Today the fact that he and Jocelyn went into the hotel together made him unable to say anything.

Clara wiped her tears off her face and then sneered.

Now as he had admitted, Clara didn't want to stay at their home anymore.

She planned to take Neo with her.

She didn't get married to Horace formally so she could leave him at any time.

And she decided not to meet Horace anymore.

But she didn't want to get back home right now. She chose to spend this night at a hotel.

On her way to the hotel, she felt that she was followed. So, she stepped up to get rid of the follower.

Clara walked into a nearby hotel, which was owned by Horace.

But she didn't want to show her identity as Horace's wife. So, she ordered a single room.

Though the price was a bit high, the single room was as comfortable as a president suite.

Clara got onto her bed and started to wonder.

There had been something wrong since Horace got back.

He was unwilling to get formally married with her and he said he was not ready for that. Horace was only good to her at home.

In someone else's presence, he would be cold to her.

Was that because of Jocelyn?

Clara sneered.

She had been in a relationship with Horace for eight years. She knew him so much. But now he was a completely different person now.

He even got into a hotel together with a famous movie star and he didn't care about his wife anymore.

It was Horace's fault.

He was getting tired of her.

She was old for Horace now and now he is just hunting another woman.

After all, an affair was not forgivable.

Clara didn't allow Horace to betray her, be it physically or mentally.

Now as he had betrayed her, Clara decided to take Neo away.

Gradually, she fell asleep.

Tomorrow morning, she found a familiar figure downstairs.

It was Horace's assistant.

"Good morning, Mrs. Kirkland. Mr. Kirkland asked me to take you back home."

Clara nodded and got onto the car.

She needed to take Neo with her at home. So, now she needed to get back home.

And the assistant didn't say anything and so did Clara.

Silence. Complete silence.

When she arrived, she saw Horace was saying something to Neo.

It seemed that Horace was teaching Neo himself.

Horace saw Clara and he waved to the assistant to show that she could leave.

Then he looked at Clara, "You've been working so hard at your company, dear. I have to ask my assistant to get you back."

Clara knew that he would say those words to Neo.

But now Clara didn't want to lie to her son.

"Come here, Horace."

She didn't want to let Neo witness their quarrel.

Horace called the tutor and left the room with Clara.

"I'll take Neo and leave."

Clara said directly. She didn't want to stand Horace anymore.

The news had shocked her so much and she was afraid that she would go mad if she heard such news again.

So, she must leave.

Maybe she would feel better after she left Horace.

"No, you can't."

Horace said instantly.

How could he allow Clara to leave him?"

"I've made up my mind." Clara stared at Horace coldly with her eyes wide open.

"Then I will confine you to home." Horace said coldly.

Clara didn't expect him to say those words.

He did change so much.

Now Clara felt as if she didn't know the man.

But Horace could do this. Clara then got back to her home silently.

She must leave. She could leave at anytime when Horace was not with her.

But the next day Clara was not allowed to leave this house and she couldn't even receive any messages from outside.

Clara felt quite ill at ease. She didn't know what happened to Horace.

Now he even treated her like a prisoner.

Now Clara could only sit on the sofa watching the television.

Neo came over and asked, "Don't you have to go to your company, mom?"

"I have to. But your dad forced me to stay here."

That's what in Clara's mind. But she couldn't say those words to Neo.

"I got a day off."

Clara lied to Neo with a serious face, but Neo believed her and smiled.

"Then it must be because you've been working hard, mom."

Then he kissed Clara's forehead and then saw how his silva mark her face.
