Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 40

She thought that taking a drastic measure would be a good idea too.

Make Julian Lowell believe that Clara was a dirty woman, and then abandon her.

That wouldn't be bad either!

...

The Blossom Bistro.

In a certain private room.

Julian Lowell was in the middle of a business dinner. Hearing his phone ring, he glanced at it, and suddenly, his brows furrowed tightly.

[Clara went to see Dominic Jarrett...]

For some reason, these words made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

What did she go to see him for?

The possessiveness hidden between the lines was something even he hadn't realized.

As for the subsequent message bombardment from Seraphina.

He didn't read any of it.

A man sitting nearby noticed his displeased expression and said, "Mr. Lowell, if you have something to attend to, we can chat later, that works too."

Julian nodded coldly, picked up his phone, and stood up from his chair.

"I do have a little matter. I need to return a call."

...

Clara received Julian's call after Nora had left.

Seeing the word [Julian] flashing on the ringing phone screen.

Her eyes couldn't help but dim.

She answered.

The man's gentle voice slowly came through.

"Clara, are you busy?"

Clara listened, feeling in a trance.

To be honest, this kind of warmth was what she once yearned for.

Back then, she really hoped he would call her during his free time, even if just to chat or show some care.

But there was none.

Clara gave a faint, bitter smile, turning to look at the falling snow outside the window.

She said coldly, "Not busy. What's wrong?"

The man paused, saying in a low voice, "I heard you went to see Dominic Jarrett this morning. Did something happen with the project? You can tell me, I'll help you."

Clara froze...

Frankly, these words were the kindness and warmth she had hoped for not too long ago.

Julian called her, "Clara, if something happens, you must tell me first."

"From now on, let Assistant Quinn handle this project. You shouldn't be involved in the management unless it's a major issue."

Like a bucket of ice water poured over her head.

Clara instantly sobered up a lot.

So, it turned out he just didn't want her in contact with Dominic.

Rather than him caring about her.

What ridiculous possessiveness!

He doesn't love her, yet he wants to keep her caged.

What does he take her for?

Clara swallowed hard, tasting bitterness and pain.

Before, Clara wasn't like this.

Why now...

It was Arthur Higgins who came over and called him.

"Mr. Lowell, Ms. Shaw just called me, saying your phone wasn't connecting and you weren't replying to messages..."

Julian frowned, inexplicably finding it annoying. He figured he must just be too tired recently, coupled with too many trivial matters, so he was exhausted.

He irritably put his phone away, walked towards the private room, and said, "I'll call her back later when I'm done."

Remembering something.

He stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and instructed.

"Have someone find out what Clara did at the Jarrett Global branch today."

Arthur listened blankly.

Those involved are blind, while bystanders see clearly.

Why would a man care about a woman interacting with other men?

Because he cares.

The boss obviously cared about Clara... it's just that he himself was blind to it and didn't seem to realize.

After thinking about it, he still stepped forward and said.

"Mr. Lowell, have you noticed that your attitude toward Ms. Shaw and Manager Vance is becoming more and more different..."

Julian's expression instantly stiffened.

But in a flash.

His brows darkened.

"You're overthinking it!"

He didn't love Clara; he just felt guilty.
