Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 450

Laura's whole body trembled at Horace's words, and fear filled her heart. After all the years she had spent with Horace, she knew that this time was not like any other and that he would not let her off the hook easily.

Her whole-body shuddering, she bit her lower lip and swallowed; Laura then spoke, "Sean promised me and told me to find a way to take you to a place farther away, so that he could find someone to kidnap you."

Looking up quickly at Horace, Laura looked full of tension, "That time when the two of us were out, Sean sent someone following us the whole time, just looking for an opportunity to do it."

Hearing this, Horace's hand knuckles were clenched and rattled. He remembered that Laura hadn't been in a very good mood during that time, but by the time he asked, she was refusing to say precisely what had happened.

Later she said she was bored and wanted to go out for a bit, so he agreed immediately and drove her out to the countryside that day.

But it turned out that it was all just a trap waiting for him to jump into.

Hearing the sound, Clara looked down at Horace's hand, not knowing whether it was from anger or shock; his hand was still trembling slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she finally reached out and took it in her hand.

After all these years, it must be hard for him to know the truth behind what happened and to be betrayed and hurt by the person he used to trust the most.

Feeling the warmth from his hand, Horace's body, which had been tense, finally relaxed. Turning his head to see the worry on Clara's face, he tried to calm his emotions down and took her hand in his in return, then gave her a reassuring look.

Looking at the two hands clasped together in front of him, Andre's eyes darkened, while Laura, who was talking with her head down, didn't see the interaction between the two and continued to explain the events of that year in a shaky voice.

"You know all about what happened afterwards. Sean's men first used Rohypnol to knock us both out, then had us tied up and locked up in a broken warehouse." Laura looked up at Horace with a quivering tremble, but what she saw was their hands clasped together.

The fear in her eyes was replaced by jealousy, and Laura's mood changed from fear to anger. She had been planning for so many years, but she had never expected to end up serving as a dowry for someone else.

Seeing the change in Laura's expression, Clara also realized that the situation was inappropriate and hurriedly released her hand from Horace's grip. After adjusting her expression, Clara asked, "I looked into this matter five years ago, and the information I found showed that you left the fire scene on your own. What was that all about?"

When she heard Clara's question, Laura felt even more resentful towards her. She asked such a detailed question on purpose. Was she trying to ruin her relationship with Horace completely?

But seeing Horace's icy look, Laura knew that at this point, she had to answer, "I... I wasn't drugged, I was conscious, and the guys Sean sent were just pretending to tie me up, so later I broke free of the ropes and left on my own."

"And then you left Horace there all alone!" Laura's reply shocked and infuriated Clara, "You just said something about not wanting to hurt him. Don't you know how dangerous it was to leave him alone? You were trying to get him killed!"

Not only did she get all the money the Kirkland Family used to ransom Horace, but Sean also gave her a few million out of his pocket, enough money to live a life of luxury abroad.

"And then who brought you back?" Horace's brow twitched vaguely, harbouring endless anger. For the money, power, and all these extraneous things, they could choose to sacrifice his life without hesitation like that. He felt pathetic for himself back then.

"I came back because of you," Laura said with teary eyes, "Horace, after I left the country, I realized how important you are in my heart, I can't forget you, and I can't let go of our relationship. I couldn't forget you and couldn't let go of our relationship. I've been following your situation for years, and when I found out you got married, I couldn't resist but come back."

Laura reached for Horace and tried to grab him after saying it, but Horace dodged her. Laura's tears fell even harder, "Horace, I love you. After all these years, you're the only one in my heart. I love you a thousand times more than Clara. I can't live without you."

Feeling that she could use some strength in her hands, Laura manoeuvred the wheelchair and slid down in front of Horace, desperate to throw herself at him.

"Horace, the two of us grew up together, no one will ever know you better than I do, and no one will ever be better for you than I am. Can we be together again? We'll live a happy, joyful life, the two of us used to be so happy together. Will you marry me? I'll..."

"That's enough!" Pushing Laura's hand away, Horace's face was disgusted, "Laura, you make me sick!"
