Craving 120

Chapter120 

Chapter120 

Once the car started, Kathie chattered nonstop, talking about 

work one moment and gossiping about their social circle the 

next. 

In the passenger seat, Harriet listened earnestly, giving Kathie 

her full attention. 

And… she sided with Kathie, joining her in criticizing others. 

It wasn’t until they arrived at the restaurant and sat down at the 

table that Kathie finished her stories and looked at Harriet, 

asking, “Hara, what about you? How are things with Ells lately? 

My mom said you two went home for dinner last week.” 

Harriet ladled a bowl of soup for Kathie and handed it over, 

replying unhurriedly, “Same as always. Still no progress on the 

divorce.” 

As she spoke, she told Kathie about Ellsworth giving her the 

property deed and about him promising the grandparents they’d 

have a child. 

Across the table, Kathie listened to Harriet’s update and said, 

Chapter120 

“Why do I feel like Ells has changed a lot lately? Not only is he 

spending more time at home, but his attitude toward you has 

improved a lot. That jerk-could it be he’s developed feelings for 

you over time and doesn’t want a divorce anymore?” 

Before Harriet could reply, Kathie continued, “I’ve told you 

before, you can’t be too nice to a man. If you care too much, he 

won’t care about you. If my brother really comes back to the 

family and is willing to live a good life, what would you think?” 

To Kathie’s words, Harriet replied gently, “His attitude is a bit 

better now because your parents and grandparents are 

pressuring him. I’ve tried for three years, worked hard for three 

years. If he doesn’t like me, he just doesn’t. It’s unrealistic to 

expect much change in the future.” 

“Besides, I’ve been so tired these past few years. I really don’t 

want to keep going.” 

At this point, Harriet paused, then continued, “Since I changed 

jobs, I don’t feel so stifled anymore. After the divorce, whether I 

move back in with Grandpa or buy my own place, I think I’ll be in 

a much better state.” 

Harriet never told Kathie about her depression, afraid it would 

worry her. 

Chapter120 

And she didn’t want the Townsend family to know about it 

either. 

She just wanted to get the divorce over with as soon as 

possible, to cut ties with Ellsworth and start a brand new life. 

As for the Auburn Heights house, she most likely wouldn’t live 

there. 

There were too many sad and oppressive memories there-she 

didn’t want to face them or remember them. 

Harriet insisted on the divorce, and Kathie said, “Hara, you still 

have the same temper as always. You put up with things until 

you can’t anymore, and once you’ve made up your mind, not 

even ten oxen could drag you back.” 

.”But Ells really is exhausting. I won’t try to talk you out of it. 

Once you’re divorced, I’ll find you someone great, just to slap 

Ells in the face and make him regret it.” 

Harriet was amused by Kathie’s words. “Alright, then I’ll wait for you to introduce me to a boyfriend.” 

Kathie said, “Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be better than Ells.” 

After chatting for a while, Kathie sighed and frowned, saying, 

Chapter120 

“You’ve got your life all planned out, but my parents are driving 

me crazy lately, forcing me to go on blind dates. Honestly, 

seeing you and Ells, I don’t want to get married at all.” 

While serving Kathie some food, Harriet comforted her, “Not 

every marriage is like ours. Your parents are great, and so are 

many others. The reason Ellsworth and I didn’t work out is 

because he doesn’t love me.” 

“Once he’s with someone he loves, they’ll be happy too.” 

Saying these things to comfort Kathie, Harriet couldn’t help but 

feel a little sad. 

After all, she was exposing her own wounds. 

Hearing Harriet, Kathie stopped her, saying, “Alright, Hara, you 

don’t have to be so polite with me. We’re just having dinner 

together-no need to serve me food.” 

Harriet smiled, “You look so down today.” 

Kathie replied, “That’s all my parents’ fault.” 

As soon as Kathie finished speaking, her phone rang-it was 

Johnathan calling. 

Chapter 120 

Seeing Johnathan’s number, Kathie picked up the phone, 

swiped to answer, and said cheekily, “Nathan, what’s up?” 

On the other end, Johnathan laughed heartily, “Back from your 

trip? Come have dinner. I’ll call Hara over too.” 

Kathie popped a green vegetable into her mouth and said, 

“You’re too late-we’re already eating.” 

“It’s not even dark yet and you two are already eating?” 

Johnathan said. “Efficient as always.” 

Before Kathie could hang up, Johnathan added, “Come over and 

hang out after you eat. I’ll set up two tables at the usual place. 

Bring Hara with you.” 

Hearing there would be cards to play, Kathie’s eyes lit up 

instantly and she said loudly, “Sure, Hara and I will come over 

later. Save me a seat.”
