Clara Knox finished teaching the little girl brought by the agent and directly dove into preparing her upcoming work. She got so busy that she forgot the time and fell asleep on the desk.
When Edward Harper came back, he knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. She didn't pick up the phone either.
He stood outside the door, helpless, for a few minutes, then tried entering the door lock password. He started with her birthday, but it didn't work. Then he tried his birthday, still no. When he switched to their wedding anniversary, the door made a clicking sound and opened.
He shooed Liam Johnson away, stepping inside after kicking off his shoes.
The living room was silent; she was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.
The light was on in the study, so he walked over and stopped at the door.
At that moment, Clara Knox was lying on the desk, holding a pencil. Her dark hair was tied up in a bun on top of her head, and she was sleeping soundly.
