Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 504

"What's wrong with Horace? He always goes missing now," the busy signal annoyed Clara. She hung up the call and threw her phone on the sofa, allowing meditation to occupy her brain.

She dredged up that the last time she could not find him was when he planned to make a proposal. She began to wonder whether there were some similar stories behind these losses of his whereabouts.

Did he prepare a surprise for her again?

Then she dismissed this guess. Horace had already promised her a trip to Shangri-La, so she believed that there was no more surprise that he could give her.

She comforted herself that maybe Horace was just busy with his work.

Clara recalled something that she once read online: When you could find your man nowhere, he might be having sex.

Although Clara also once had the same guess, she still believed that Horace would not be such an errant husband and it was also ridiculous to let her imagination run free in this absurd way.

Now that she could not contact him, she decided to wait for him.

Soon, the bell rang when Clara was watching TV on the sofa.

Frowning, Clara remembered that Horace took his keys with him when he left that morning, and what's more, he could still unlock the door even if he did not have a key since their door was equipped with a smart fingerprint key.

She looked through the window and found a man wearing a cap and mask standing outside. She could not figure out who he was because his mask and cap almost fully covered his face.

Hesitating whether she should open the door, Clara asked who he was from the inner side of the door.

"Your delivery," the mysterious man answered with a hoarse voice. Yet Clara did not find the voice strange.

Clara recalled the tickets she bought today. It turned out that the delivery men were still working in the evening, which was why the seller was sure that she could get the tickets today?

Clara hurriedly opened the door and welcomed the courier in. Out of delight, she didn't have the time to think about why the actual tickets could be obtained so early before the trip.

"Can I have a look at the tickets first?" since the seller promised her that she could pay after receiving the tickets, she decided to check the delivery first.

"Clara." the courier called her name when she was waiting to have a look at the tickets.

Clara was startled.

She wondered why this man knew her name when she only gave the seller a fake name.

Moreover, the courier had a voice that she was so familiar with.

She then knew who the man was after she recovered her composure.

Clara stepped forward and took off his cap and mask.

A marvelous face that she was familiar with was uncovered in front of her.

Although she once suspected that the true identity of the courier, she was still transfixed when she saw his face.

"Horace, why did you do this?" Clara thought that she bought the tickets with her own effort.

Therefore, it was unexpected to her that the seller was actually Horace.

Staring at him, Clara waited for an explanation.

"Well, I decided to help you when I realized that you couldn't get tickets," Horace put on his slippers and then pulled Clara to the sofa, guiding her to sit down.

"You promised me that you would let me do it by myself this time," she was happy about her effort at the very beginning; yet she was disappointed now.

"Well, well, never mind. We have our tickets now, after all," Horace comforted.

"Actually, it was Isaac who bought the tickets, not me," Horace cast a wink at Isaac who was standing beside him.

Isaac tried his best to suppress his titter while Clara pretended to believe Horace's words.

"Then maybe you can do the rest of preparation for our trip," Clara let Horace take charge of the rest of the preparation since she had already packed their luggage.

The first time that he traveled by plane was when he came back to China from America.

He loved traveling by such vehicles as plane and bus since the windows of these vehicles looked like a mobile television when he looked through them.

Moreover, he could enjoy natural scenery through the windows, which could always cheer him up.

"Mommy, daddy, why should we turn off our phone?"

Neo started asking questions as what the stewardess said baffled him.

He was too young to talk and ask questions when he travelled by plane last time. Now that he was old enough to think, it was quite natural for him to ask questions since children were always curious about the world.

"Because the electromagnetic wave of the phone will affect the flight of the plane," Horace explained in a simple way.

Horace was afraid that Neo could not understand such terms as electromagnetic, so he asked, "Did you get it now?"

"Yes," Neo made an OK gesture to Horace to show that he had understood.

Clara was amused by her son and she tittered...

Neo posed it in a lovely and funny manner and he also winked at them.

Clara sometimes doubted whether she mistook the gender of Neo。

Maybe Neo was actually a cute little girl?

Yet, no matter how lovely Neo was and no matter how Clara doubted it, her child was definitely a boy.

Clara cast a look at Horace and found that he also laughed.

Then, feeling that Clara was looking at him, Horace turned to look at her.
