Chapter114

Her belly soon felt the warmth, and the pain eased a little.

At this moment, Ellsworth didn’t leave Harriet’s room. He pulled

out the chair in front of her desk and sat down across from her.

Harriet picked up her cup again, holding it in both hands,

blowing gently on the tea before taking a small sip.

Sitting across from Harriet, Ellsworth quietly watched her.

Seeing the sweat on her forehead, he reached out to wipe it

away and brushed aside the stray hair on her face.

This kind of interaction felt just like years ago, when Harriet

was still in school and he hadn’t yet seen her diary.

Feeling Ellsworth’s gentleness, Harriet looked up at him and

said, “Thank you.”

Seeing this, Ellsworth withdrew his hand.

Holding the cup in both hands, she slowly blew on the tea. She

remembered that when she used to visit the Townsend’s

mansion, Ellsworth had also made her brown sugar ginger tea.

Chapter114

Back then, she was only fourteen or fifteen, and the fire at her

home hadn’t happened yet.

She remembered that time she had gone to see Kat, but Kat

wasn’t home, so Ellsworth asked her to help him with his

homework.

While she was working, her stomach started to hurt, so

Ellsworth made her brown sugar ginger tea. After that, he didn’t

make her continue with the homework-he let her rest on his

bed.

She rested.

And even fell asleep.

So, all along, she thought Ellsworth liked her.

If she had known marriage would turn them into enemies, she

would never have admitted to liking him, never would have

married him.

Thinking of the past, Harriet couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing her smile, Ellsworth asked in a mild voice, “What are you

smiling about?”

Chapter114

Harriet looked up and shook her head at him. “It’s nothing.”

Back then, she always called him Ells.

With Harriet’s clear gaze, Ellsworth raised his right hand and

gently brushed her cheek with the back of it.

Harriet’s mother passed away early, so she was always very

quiet as a child. Other than Kathie, she had almost no other

friends. She often went to the Townsend’s mansion to play, and

the three siblings always took good care of her, including him

and Ken.

Harriet was also very obedient. Since she was little, if he told

her to go east, she would never go west. If he said one, she

would never say two.

He treated her just like he treated Kat.

Sometimes, he was even better to her than to Kat.

Sylvia was different from her. Sylvia was his desk mate, gentle and thoughtful, making everything easy and comfortable when

they were together.

They were very much in sync.

Chapter114

If it hadn’t been for Sylvia, he probably wouldn’t have survived

that accident.

It took him years to recover after Sylvia left.

He agreed to marry Harriet because he thought they would be a

good match, but he hadn’t expected to find her diary at the

Chavez’s mansion and discover her secret.

The room was very quiet, and tonight Ellsworth also found

himself thinking of many things from the past.

The two sat facing each other. Seeing that Ellsworth was still in

her room, Harriet took a few sips of her brown sugar ginger tea,

then looked up at him and reminded, “It’s getting late, you…”

Before Harriet could finish, Ellsworth interrupted her.

He raised his right hand, wiped the brown sugar tea from the

corner of her mouth, and asked in a clear voice, “You used to be

so obedient. Now that I say we shouldn’t get divorced, why

won’t you listen to me?”

He thought she was soft-hearted, thought she had married him

with an agenda, and that he could control her.

He hadn’t expected that this time, Harriet would stand her

Chapter114

ground against him.

She had even secretly gone to look at apartments.

At Ellsworth’s question, Harriet avoided his gaze and looked

elsewhere, replying softly, “We’re not right for each other.”

Harriet turned her face away, but Ellsworth grabbed her chin

and made her look at him.

Their eyes met. Harriet blinked and instinctively swallowed.

She pressed her lips together, and just as she was about to

push Ellsworth’s hand away, he leaned in and kissed her.

Harriet, holding her cup in both hands, froze for a moment.

Then… she held her breath.

She didn’t close her eyes, just stared at Ellsworth motionlessly,

her grip on the cup tightening.

Ellsworth closed his eyes, holding her chin as he kissed her

deeply.

Harriet’s lips and tongue were soft, with a faint taste of ginger

and spice.

Chapter114

The more Ellsworth kissed her, the more he lost himself. His

hand slid from her chin to gently hold her neck. He kissed her

lips, then her cheek, her ear, her neck, her collarbone…
