"Clara, could you give me a little time?"
Edward Harper's eyes were bloodshot as he asked in a soft voice.
Clara Knox's lips curved slightly, but her smile didn't reach her eyes,
"I just have one question. It won't take your time. Answer me, and I'll leave."
Brandon Knight saw she didn't plan to make a scene and relaxed a bit, not interfering anymore.
That one word, "your," made Edward Harper feel deeply uncomfortable, proving that she still cared.
As he came out and reached for her hand as he walked to her side, Clara quickly withdrew her hand, causing their relationship to hit rock bottom again.
Edward Harper felt like he was going to lose her completely this time.
Two women, and he couldn't handle either of them.
Both of them walked out to the door, one after the other. Clara gave him a cold look, seemingly waiting for an answer.
Edward Harper wished he could disappear on the spot; the answer she wanted was clearly one he was unwilling to give.
