For example, his expression and demeanor at that moment made Timothea feel complicated and even the strength of her grip weakened considerably. As the two stared at each other, an ambiguous atmosphere gradually developed and Harper’s cheeks grew hot.
“Ms. Johnston, are you thinking of me as someone’s replacement? Do you love that man very much?”
Timothea’s eyes grew clearer and she was about to let go.
Harper’s face suddenly showed pain and he fell back.
“I feel so dizzy, Ms. Johnston…”
Timothea held him firmly.
Elmer, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene. He froze in place, his face pale and the teacup in his hand clattered to the ground, shattering into pieces.
“Timothea! Who is this man?” Elmer felt as if his entire body was about to break.
He threw himself over and sobbed uncontrollably.
“Timothea, is this what you said about forgetting Bond and planning to live with me? If you really had forgotten him, why would you have found a replacement?”
“Elmer, stop it.”
