Clara Knox was greatly startled by these words. He said he would take her here, did that mean he was also going to live here? She now deeply felt that she had fallen into his trap willingly.
Clara Knox raised her eyes and met Edward Harper's gaze, her thoughts clearly written on her face.
Edward Harper ignored the inquiry in her eyes, pretending to be dumb and confused, something men are the best at,
"Clara, I'll stay in the study."
Clara Knox didn't want to talk now; he had already arranged everything clearly. She felt like she was under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow her head.
Edward Harper had no intention of staying long, perhaps because he feared one word would lead to another, and the next second Clara Knox would expose his selfish motives. After all, he himself felt not so righteous; he instigated trouble in her house, didn't even give anyone a chance to reflect before nodding, and immediately had her pack up and tricked her into coming back.
