Arya was in the kitchen preparing soup. She looked up at him with concern. "Harry, you look angry. What's wrong?"

"There are some urgent issues I need to deal with, Harry replied, trying to keep his tone even.

Arya approached him cautiously. "Is it because Lucia knows about us? Is she making things difficult for you?"

"It's not about you," Harry reassured her, gently patting her head. Don't worry about it. Just focus on your health. I'll handle everything.

Arya felt reassured by Harry's words, but a trace of anxiety lingered. "Harry, if you're staying with me, aren't you worried Mrs. Wright might tell Lucia about it?"

She won't do that," Harry assured Arya with confidence, but his certainty seemed to unsettle her. Arya couldn't fathom why Harry trusted Julia so deeply.

been aware of from the beginning. She hadn't given much thought to Julia before, but Harry's steadfast faith in Julia now sparked a twinge of worry.

Rose had claimed to be pregnant with his child to confront Julia only to be dismissed by Lucia. Yet, Rose remained undeterred, eager to stir up more trouble for Julia, even resorting to inciting online harassment against Julia. While Julia could withstand the onslaught, Harry found it unbearable. He thought Rose was asking for trouble.

Julia noticed her phone was flooded with missed calls from Harry, causing her a twinge of concern. She wondered why Harry was calling her repeatedly in the morning. She was thankful to have a job interview lined up for this morning. otherwise, Harry's persistent calls mig Muttering under her breath, Julia dialed Harry back. He picked up immediately almost as if he had been waiting by the

phone.

""What's up?" she asked casually.

"Why weren't you answering?" Harry's tone was full of anger.

Suppressing a smirk, Julia cleared her throat to mask her amusement. "I was driving and had my phone on silent. Didn't see your calls. What's so urgent?"

"Don't worry about Rose. I've got it under control," Harry said.

"It was my mother who called me about it," Harry explained, quickly mastering his emotions. After a moment, he looked more composed. This whole mess blew up because you didn't deal with it properly,"

Harry was implying he was protecting Julia because she hadn't done her job well.

Julia grabbed her documents from the passenger seat, stepped out of the car, and headed toward the office building. "Harry, if you weren't a playboy, I wouldn't have to constantly clean up your messes. At the end of the day, this is on you."

"I called to tell you I'll handle the situation with Rose. And as for Arya, I'm reminding you again-don't mess up. You know what will happen if my mother finds out," he warned.

"Alright, alright, I get it. If you don't want me involved, I'll stay out of it. It's none of my business anyway. Frankly, I hope you two settle down soon so I can be free of this sooner. Julia abruptly ended the call, kicked a pebble in frustration, and muttered, "What a jerk!" She wondered why trouble always found her.
