Right at that moment, Arthur Higgins happened to push the door open to report something. Seeing the scene, he paused, quite shocked. "Mr. Lowell..."
Julian frowned. Usually one to hide his emotions, he could not conceal his anger now. "What is it?"
Arthur spotted Clara's photos on the floor and roughly guessed what had happened. Not daring to touch a raw nerve, he said straightforwardly, "It's Ms. Shaw. She asked me to tell you..."
"Tell me later!"
Julian cut him off sharply.
Hearing this, Arthur had no choice but to drop it and leave resentfully.
The door closed once more.
Julian closed his eyes in frustration and massaged his temples.

As Clara parked her car in the parking spot, she specifically glanced at the space next to it.
No car.
Julian wasn't back?
Clara's gloomy mood suddenly lifted. Walking back to the house, she felt light and relaxed.
Unlike in the past, when she'd get off work in the evening, see that he wasn't back yet, and feel both worried and disappointed... like a self-pitying, resentful housewife.
Stepping up the stairs, Clara pushed the door open.
In a good mood, she was just about to ask Susan to cut some fruit for her.
But as she looked up, she saw the man sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette...
