They had many cars in the garage, but she didn’t mind one more for free.
“Come on, girl. Ask your husband to buy it. ” Logan won’t be fooled.
Logan wouldn’t mind buying Clara a car, but not this way.
Clara laughed awkwardly.
“Look at the newspaper this morning, you guys are on the headline.” Logan handed them the newspaper.
Horace knew it must be the journalists. Clara wanted to know what they wrote about them.
They immediately saw the headline.
“The kidnapping case was settled and the murderer turned out to be their own son!”
“Mr. Kirkland and Mrs. Kirkland are together again. They are hanging out with their son.”
“The president of the Kirkland Group claimed that Clara Hutchinson is his wife!”
Clara read out all these titles one by one and was speechless.
The other contents were nothing new.
So, she put down the newspaper.
“It’s all right, I don’t care.” Clara really didn’t take it to the heart. After all, she had experienced the same thing in the past five years, no big deal.
“Well, it’s all right.” Horace was indifferent.
Seeing it was all well, Logan prepared to leave.
“Okay, everything is here. The rest is on you guys. I got to go now.”
No matter what, Logan was also the president of a public company, and he had a lot of work to handle.
Logan seemed to have seen a whole bunch of documents in front of him.
“Okay, Logan, take care.” Horace nodded toward Logan and then watched him leave.
“It doesn’t matter what you’ve done before. But from now on, do your job and behave yourself.” Logan said to Isaac, who had sent himself out.
Horace wanted to ask Isaac to send Logan, but in the end, he didn’t.
Isaac knew Horace’s intentions, so he came out to send Logan off.
Logan realized that something was wrong. Horace used to ask Isaac to manage everything.
But now he didn’t even ask Isaac to see the guest out. Isaac must have done something that had let Horace down for real.
“Yes, Mr. Hutchinson.” Isaac wasn’t surprised that Logan guessed it. He wouldn’t be able to handle the company otherwise.
After saying that, Logan turned and left.
“Neo, go tidy your room.” Clara looked at a whole bunch of stuff and asked Neo to pack it up on his own.
She wanted Neo to learn from it, and also reduce her burden.
“I want to sleep with mom and dad.” Neo was unhappy when he heard that Clara asked him to sleep alone.
“No.” Horace wanted to have a two-person world with Clara. With Neo, he couldn’t.
“Why?” Neo looked at Horace, who had overreacted.
“Because you’re a big boy now, people would laugh at you if you still sleep with us,” Horace spoke thoughtfully to Neo.
Neo was five years old, so it was good for him to sleep alone, but sleeping with mom and dad was no big deal.
Clara laughed when she heard Horace’s words.
Horace gave Clara a sharp glance.
“Neo, sleep by himself. But you can come over when you want to sleep with us.” Clara felt she should say something, or Horace wouldn’t let go of her.
“Well, okay.” Neo felt that what his parents said made sense. So, he had to compromise.
“Good boy.” Horace winked at Clara as if to say, “Honey, am I good?”
Clara rolled her eyes at Horace and went on cleaning the room.
Along the way, she found that nothing had changed.
There were still her shoes. She opened the closet. It was all the same.
Half of it was Horace’s clothes and half of it was hers.
She didn’t take anything with her. So, her clothes were still in the closet.
But she was too thin to wear those clothes. Clara reached out to the clothes and put them in the box, intending to throw them away.
After all, five years have passed, and those clothes were old, Clara didn’t want to wear them anymore.
She had been well dressed in current years. She wanted to enjoy life.
Not long after, she heard the phone ringing downstairs.
By the time Clara went down, Horace had picked up. But the more Horace listened, the colder his face became. In the end, he said, “Okay, come right away.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, looked at Clara, and said, “Laura is missing.”
Clara was shocked to hear the news. Laura should be in the hospital. How did she disappear?
Clara had asked the nurse to look after Laura. What happened?
“Let’s go, let’s go to the hospital.” Clara realized they should have been more cautious.
“Okay.” Horace hugged Neo and then went to the hospital with Clara.
“Dad, who is missing?” Neo heard their conversation.
But he didn’t know who it was.
“A bad person.” Clara waited for Horace to answer.
Yet he didn’t expect Horace to call Laura a bad person.
“Well… Will she kidnap herself just like me?” Neo suddenly thought of his own kidnapping, which was conducted by himself.
He thought maybe the bad person would do the same for money.
“She had no reason to do that.” Horace thought about Neo’s words and didn’t think Laura would do so.
