Clara lowered her head and then looked up at Edgar again, with a pair of eyes that resembled puppy eyes. She was so embarrassed that she slipped about what she was thinking. It was her weakness actually.

Now, she was worried if Edgar would be disappointed after he found out she was not exactly like the woman he thought she was.
