Chapter 190 Horace’s Confession

“It’s you, right?” Claudia became even more certain when he didn’t answer, “I knew you wouldn’t die.”

“I was so scared…” she groggily reached out and touched the man’s

chin.

Is this a dream?

If this was a dream, let this dream last a little longer.

She burst into tears, slightly bowed her body, and extended her hand to hook around his neck.

The man pursed his lips slightly, and his body trembled slightly

“You asked me before if I liked you, but the truth is, I had liked you for a long time before that. I was afraid of being rejected by you, so I never dared to say it.” She murmured, leaning against his collarbone, lost in her own words.

Looking at the face that was so close, Horace also had a deep longing in his eyes.

He really wanted to wake her up, but he was afraid of actually waking her up.

Horace carried the sleeping Claudia into the car, laid her down on the seat, and covered her with a blanket.

The driver was a short–haired woman. She curiously glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Claudia’s face, her mouth wide open in astonishment.

This woman, even with ner eyes closed, could not hide her beauty.

No wonder the young master couldn’t forget it for so many years.

“Master, where are we going now?” The short–haired girl asked excitedly.

Horace’s bright eyes surged with hidden waves, if possible, he really wanted to take her to his own home.

But Edmond had already passed away, he had plenty of time.

“Go to the Friedan’s manor.”

“Good!”

The car roared away, and two men stood under a big tree not far away.

“What are you still looking at? They have all gone far away,” Everett sneered at the man beside him. With the cold wind blowing, he hugged his own arms and said, “I never thought you would have a day of hiding like a coward.”

There was a man standing beside him, wearing a gray cotton coat, with a black mask on his face, and red bloodshot eyes, indicating his exhaustion.

“Did you really just give those things away without a second thought? Quite generous,” Everett teased him, knowing that if he were in the same situation, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do the same.

The masked man watched the direction in which the vehicle had left, thinking about the scene just now, and clenched his fingers tightly: “Let’s go.”

The faint voice had no trace of emotion.

Watching him walk ahead, Everett sighed, “Noble families are complicated.”

The Friedan’s manor, a Porsche slowly drove in.

As the speed of the car gradually decreased, Claudia in the car also slowly woke up.

The car was warm, and Claudia felt like she had had a long dream. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in days, but now, waking up, she felt as if she had regained all her strength.

“Awake?” Horace gently reached out his hand to help her up, but she skillfully avoided him without a word.

“How could I be in your car?” Claudia became instantly alert, thinking about the scene in her dream. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Horace saw her looking nervous and quickly said, “I went to pay tribute to Edmond. When I saw you sleeping with the tombstone in your arms, I brought you back.”

Claudia’s heart sank, and she furrowed her brows, saying, “Did you carry me into the car?”

The scenes in the dream were deeply imprinted in her memory. She vaguely remembered herself embracing Edmond’s neck. In the haze, she couldn’t see clearly, but as soon as she woke up, everything came back to her.

Edmond has passed away, how could he possibly hold her again.

Seeing Horace’s evasive gaze, Claudia instantly understood everything.

“Thank you,” she said calmly, opened the car door, and got out.

Horace laughed bitterly and then got out of the car.

“Sorry, I had to hug you earlier, you were so cold and disoriented… I was afraid something might happen to you, so I just picked you up and put you in the car, I’m sorry…” Horace explained as he walked.

“It’s nothing,” Claudia pursed her lips. She had intended to distance herself from him, but considering he had just helped her, it would be too abrupt to do so.

“You don’t have to be afraid of me, actually.”

Claudia’s footsteps paused, her face showing some embarrassment.

Horace smiled and said, “I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to be your friend. I couldn’t stand those people insulting you before, so I made that decision impulsively. I’m really sorry.”

Thinking about the last incident, Claudia smiled and said, “It’s all in the past anyway, my reputation is already like this, Mr. Ferguson, you don’t have to stand up for me in the future.”

The moment I decided to become a single mother, I knew I had to withstand the gossip and rumors from the whole world.

This world has never been so friendly to women, especially single mothers, who are often treated with malice.

But in the dark places, there is always light. Having family and friends‘ understanding is enough, and Edmond already knew before he died that the child was his, which also reduced her regrets. At least the child in her belly was acknowledged by the father.

“We were getting too close, and I was afraid my family would misunderstand,” Claudia said frankly. “You know they have always

had a good impression of you, but to be honest, I have no intention of getting married again in this lifetime.”

She had already been married once and had also married the person she loved the most. Especially after Edmond’s death, she felt that marrying anyone else would be a betrayal to Edmond,

Her indifference caused a slight pang in Horace’s heart.

She was clearly trying to distance herself from him.

Seeing her determined expression, Horace changed the subject, “I also planned to remain single for the rest of my life.”

Claudia lifted her eyelids, her face full of question marks.

Horace forced a smile and said, “I won’t hide it from you.“.

Claudia’s expression froze instantly, she hadn’t expected him to reveal such a secret.

Claudia’s lips twitched, quickly adjusting her expression, “So you were under a lot of pressure.”

“Don’t worry, I will never reveal this matter.” Knowing that it was a secret, she quickly added with tact.

Horace forced a smile, but deep down he felt even more miserable. This idea was suggested by Waldron, who said that only by doing so would Claudia truly consider him as a “friend” and “best friend“.

Sure enough, after revealing this secret, her guard against him decreased significantly, and she even started chatting with him about skincare and makeup.

Horace managed with his limited knowledge, watching her

affectionately and discussing with her, and suddenly felt that being best friends was not bad at all.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time for him to make her fall in love with him.

In the Friedan family’s house, Emily sat on the sofa, her beautiful face filled with anger.

“She was your sister, and you were so confident in letting her handle things alone? What if she encountered danger again?”

Derrick stood on the side, tightly pursing his lips, remaining silent for a long time.

“If it were Elva, would you just leave her alone?” Emily leaned back on the couch, her face full of disappointment. “Derrick, I am very

disappointed in you.”

“He had Horace go pick up Seraphina,” Waldron said a fair word for him, seeing that Derrick didn’t defend himself either.

Not only him, but the whole family now knew that Derrick favored Elva.

If Claudia hadn’t refused, he would have gone to see Roger with her.

Derrick took Claudia with him, and they were both worried.

Sure enough, when Derrick returned alone, the whole family interrogated him.

“Madam, Ms. Seraphina and Mr. Ferguson have returned,” the butler walked in with a joyful expression.

Upon hearing these words, Emily quickly stood up and walked toward

the exit. When she saw Claudia, Emily immediately hugged her and said, “My Seraphina, you finally came back. I was so worried about you!”

Claudia patted her shoulder and gently said, “I’m fine, I just went to see Edmond.”

The atmosphere instantly became cold

Emily’s lips moved as she looked at her and asked tentatively, “Did you go and see? You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

Claudia shook her head and said, “No one was guarding the tomb, and no one stopped me from going in.”

Not only that, she also saw Rosalie.

Thinking about the unfamiliar man next to Rosalie, Claudia frowned and said to Ervin standing beside her, “Ervin, can you help me find out who Rosalie has been in contact with recently?”

Rosalie had been hiding the fact that she had a child for so many years, and she wouldn’t have believed it if no one had helped her.

Based on her understanding of Dempsey, although Dempsey’s

influence network spread across the country, it did not reach the point of being all–powerful.

Elva did so many things because she had Eileen behind her.

What about Rosalie?

Having repeatedly escaped legal sanctions, it is impossible that Dempsey is the only protective umbrella behind the scenes, and he can easily come out without any trouble.

Thinking of that mysterious man, Claudia had a premonition that if

they couldn’t bring down Rosalie this time, she would escape the law and live freely for the rest of her life,

“Okay,” Ervin replied without hesitation.

Claudia smiled gratefully at him.

Since Eileen’s incident came out, she rarely asked Enigma for help in checking news. It has been a long time since she last replied to Enigma, and she doesn’t know what kind of monsters and demons are lurking inside.

Instead of doing it this way, it would be better to ask for Ervin’s help.

Ervin worked quickly and the next morning he had found all of Rosalie’s schedule, including who she had met with.

Seeing the whole page of photos and timeline, Claudia took a deep breath.

Not only does this contain Rosalie’s recent information, but also her behavior and whereabouts after she fainted a while ago It is all investigated and clear, at a glance.

“Ervin, where did you get this information from?”

Even the investigators in Enigma might not be able to find out such detailed information.

If it weren’t for a few people continuously tracking and analyzing the data, it would have been impossible to understand it so clearly.

“When you were planning to tell her, I had already sent someone to track her,” Ervin chuckled, the transparent golden frames glinting. He pointed at the man Rosalie was walking with and said, “This

man, he has a close relationship with her. After you got hurt, Rosalie sought him out.”

Claudia frowned.

The man was the mask–wearing man I saw that day.

The time when she had an accident was also the time when Edmond had an accident.

“Ervin, do you know this person?”

Ervin thought for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

As he watched the man’s figure recede, a person came to his mind
