Chapter 319 The Child Was Lost
Chapter 319 The Child Was Lost
Fear was the only thing Clara could feel at this moment. In front of the public, she could look at Horace
calmly. But now there was no one around, Clara found that she was not able to face Horace at all.
Noticing that her body was trembling uncontrollably, Clara felt so ashamed. It was Horace who had
betrayed her. It should be him who felt ashamed.
Clara forced herself to look up at Horace, and said, "What do you want?"
Seeing the alertness and indifference in Clara's eyes, Horace felt as if someone had punched him in
the heart. As soon as the auction ended, he saw her leaving in a hurry. He was afraid that he would
lose her again this time, so he followed and blocked her here just to have a word. Unexpectedly, she
treated him as if he was some sneaky stalker.
Taking two steps forward, Horace trapped Clara between himself and the wall behind her, with a hint of
anger in his eyes, he said, "Why did you want to sell our wedding ring?"
It was so funny for him to ask, she thought. What did he mean? Was he really going to keep the ring
forever?
"Because I wanted to." After saying this, Clara bypassed Horace and tried to leave.
But how could Horace let her go so easily? He grabbed Clara's arm and pressed her against the wall.
He was really angry with her, but he carefully adjusted his force for fear of hurting her.
"You wanted to?" Horace sneered, "Did you leave for this reason, too? I did not even get a note from
you. Clara, have you ever thought about my feelings?!"
"What do you mean!" Clara's heart also burst into anger. She stood upright and shouted at Horace.
Was he saying that she was the one who had done wrong? How could he say that to her?!
Originally, there was still some distance between the two, but as Clara approached, Horace could
clearly feel her breath spraying onto his neck when she spoke. And he could clearly see her breast
towering up as she breathed. Horace suddenly became distracted and forgot about why he was there.
Horace stared at Clara right in front of him. Lust was burning in his eyes. It had been five years, and he Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
had not seen this face that he was so obsessed with in five years.
Looking at the eyes, nose, and mouth of this woman in front of him... He felt that she was so familiar,
yet strange in a way. Clara in the past would not wear such delicate makeup. But as he was looking at
her, something was clear now, this was the woman he loved, no matter how different she was from
before, it was impossible for him to love another in this life.
His eyes went wet. He couldn't hold back the madly surging up feelings in his heart. He lowered his
head and kissed her red lips that were slightly open because of anger...
For a moment, Clara was stunned. But then she realized what he was doing and pushed Horace away
fiercely. She wiped her lips, looked at Horace, and shouted excitedly, "What are you doing!"
They had not seen each other in five years. What was more, they were divorced. Horace knew that he
was passing the line, but he really could not control himself because she was right there. She was no
longer a phantom in his dreams anymore. She was real!
"Clara, I..." No longer annoyed as he was before, Horace's expression softened, and he took two steps
forward and approached Clara again, but he saw that the alertness in her eyes had grown.
Looking down at Clara's tightly clasped hand, a gloom flashed in Horace's eyes. Did she hate him
now? For so many years, he had been thinking of her. What about her? Had she ever missed him?
Suppressing the pain in his heart, Horace asked the question that had troubled him for five years,
"Clara, why did you divorce me in the first place? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Seeing the pain on his face, a sneer appeared in Clara's eyes. She thought to herself, this man was
such a good actor, but he gave her chills. Yes, they had a very good time together, but that was not an
excuse for him to deny what he had done to her!
Isaac took her to the operating table, while Horace and Laura were having sex in her bedroom... the
thought of it was poisonous. Clara couldn't help laughing bitterly. It turned out that after so many years,
she had never forgotten it. Everything was as clear as it happened yesterday.
Swallowing the sourness in her throat, Clara looked at Horace mockingly, "You forced me to abort the
child, Horace. How dare you come to me today and ask me why? Don't you think you look like a
clown? But this joke is not funny."
It turned out that it was because of the child... Horace thought to himself. What Isaac said five years
ago echoed in his ears again, "She might have known that the child that she was pregnant with was not
yours... She did not know how to face you, and that might be why she went to the USA with Logan."
"But I told you that I would raise this child as if it was my own."
"As if it was your own?" Hearing Horace's words, Clara was speechless for a second, then she said,
"Horace, I know that was a lie! Have you ever asked yourself were you really ready to do that?"
Horace was embarrassed. It was because he didn't want to divorce Clara. He said that to take her
back, not for the baby. She must have known that the baby was not his so she ran off to protect it.
Horace felt pain in his heart. After all, he was the one to blame for not protecting her well enough.
Otherwise, they would not have been apart for so many years.
"What about that child? A boy or a girl? It must have been back with you right?" he asked. The kid must
be 5 years old now.
When asked about the child, Clara hesitated and didn't know what to say. Although Horace always
thought that the child was not his, she was afraid that he could find something when he saw Neo with
his own eyes.
No, she couldn't take this risk! She would never let someone else take Neo away from her!
"There was no baby. It was a miscarriage." Clara lowered her head and said, without looking at Horace,
for fear that he would find that she was lying.
She was afraid that this lunatic would hurt her innocent child just like he did back then. To be more
precise, she hoped that there would be no such father in Neo's life at all!
