Become the Wife of A CEO

Logan ignored what she said. In his opinion, she was just arguing for him.

Logan still wanted to talk, but he froze when he saw something.

Clara noticed his change. Logan was staring at the blue roses on the table.

“What?” Clara didn’t know why he zoned out.

“That’s Laura’s favorite flower.” Logan said, painfully.

What? Blue rose was Laura’s favorite flower?

Clara recalled Horace’s response yesterday and felt somehow upset.

Was he thinking of Laura then? He asked her to drop the flowers because of Laura? It was because he didn’t want recall his old memories?

Logan was originally discontented with the fact that Horace pretended to be disabled. Now see the blue roses, he was rather depressed. He soon left after exchanging a few words with Clara.

Having been visited by Darren and Logan, Clara felt a little tired. She lied down and wanted to have a rest. But when she thought that Horace acted weird yesterday because of Laura, she felt disturbed and failed to fall asleep.

Maybe it was because that she was too exhausted, she managed to fell asleep after a while.

It was already 3pm when she woke up. As soon as she got up, she heard fast footsteps in the corridor. Someone said loudly, “Which one is it? Why haven’t we arrived yet?”

It was grandpa! Clara recognized the familiar voice.

She soon threw on a coat and opened the door. Russell Kirkland was there with a bunch of doctors.

“Grandpa, I’m here!” Clara said.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Russell cried, “Don’t you move! Aren’t you injured? You shouldn’t get down, go to the bed.”

Clara cringed, “No, Grandpa, it’s not as bad as they say. I’m totally fine.” Then she helped him into the room and sat down on the sofa.

“Really?” he asked, suspiciously.

“It’s true. I’m in perfectly good condition, as you can tell.” Clara said with resignation. What was going on outside? Why did everyone come to visit her?

Russell looked up and down at her. He was reassured when seeing that she was OK.

“You’d better do a full work-up to make sure that there isn’t any after effect. By the way, I also want to know when I can have a grandson.”

Clara blushed. She felt awkward when there were still many doctors present.

But she also wondered why she wasn’t pregnant yet, since she had been married to Horace for months.

In fact, Clara also wanted to have a baby as possible. She always felt that her life would be completed with a baby. So she said yes to the physical examination.

It took three doctors half an hour to finish the examination.

“The result will come out in a few days. “a doctor said. Then he bowed to Russell and left.

After everyone left, Clara said, “Grandpa, I need you to do me a favor.”

“OK, what do you want me to do? Just say it. I’ll do my best to help you.” Russell said without hesitation.

“Thank you, grandpa. I would like to ask you to investigate the kidnapping ten years ago. I always feel that there must be something that we don’t know.”

“Why do you say that?” Russell also turned serious.

“Grandpa, you watch Horace grow up, and you know more about him than anyone. Do you really think he will escape without Laura? I don’t believe it. So, I want you to dig into the truth. I don’t want to see Horace overwhelmed by self-blame. I want to help him go out of the shadow.”

Having heard her words, Russel also signed, “I can see that Horace never let go of it. Don’t worry, leave it to me, and I’ll look into it.”

…

After staying in the hospital for two days, Horace finally made sure that she was fine and agreed Clara to leave the hospital.

Clara felt that she was almost isolated. The air was fresh and the sun was bright outside. It was really pleasant.

She felt so happy and posted on social media.

“I finally get out of the hospital. Freeeedoooom!”

Soon someone called her up. Clara looked at the caller ID, Elaine? Why did she call her?

“Hello, Elaine? What’s up?”

“No biggie. I just saw your post. I want to ask you out to go shopping together. Do you have time?” Elaine said.

“Well, of course. Where shall we meet?” Clara was really bored these days and wanted to hang out. She agreed to Elaine’s invitation without hesitation.

Soon, they decided when and where to meet. They arrived at the largest department store in the city.

“Clara, do you like this dress?” Elaine held a white dress and asked, “I think this dress suits you very well.”

Clara looked at the dress. It was a simply-tailored dress equipped with a quite retro but fashionable belt. But there was a V cut on the back, so it was a bit sexy.

“This one? I don’t usually wear this kind of clothes. It shouldn’t suit me.” Clara usually preferred more casual ones. She rarely wore this kind of white dress.

“Will you try it on? I think it will look good on you.” Elaine pushed Clara to the fitting room.

Clara resigned, “OK, I’ll try it on.”
