Craving 162

Chapter162 

So she looked away and said with a smile, “Sure, I’ll come over 

and play with Grace for a while.” 

After promising Gracelyn, Harriet hung up and got ready to 

head to the hospital. 

It was close–just a five–minute drive. 

Carrying fruit and lunch into the ward, the housekeeper caring 

for Gracelyn said, “Ms. Chavez, sorry to trouble you at noon, but 

Grace has been talking about you these past two days, so I just 

gave her the phone.” 

Harriet set down the fruit she brought. “It’s no trouble. It’s 

lunchtime anyway, and the company is close by.” 

With that, Harriet smiled and went over to keep Gracelyn 

company. 

She had tried many times to teach Gracelyn to call her ‘auntie,’ 

but Gracelyn insisted she looked more like a big sister, so she 

always called her ‘sister‘ instead. 

After playing with the little girl for a while, Harriet gently carried 

Chapter162 

her to the dining table. As they ate, Gracelyn rested her chin in 

her hands, looking troubled, and said, “Hara, I really want to eat 

a hamburger.” 

Just as she finished speaking, the door to the ward opened and 

Reginald’s voice came from behind: “Gracelyn, you don’t really 

miss Aunt Harriet–you just want a hamburger.” 

Seeing Reginald arrive, Gracelyn quickly covered her mouth with. 

both hands and called out guiltily in a low voice, “Daddy.” 

As Reginald came in, Harriet quickly stood up to greet him: “Mr. 

Barton.” 

After that, the two of them kept Gracelyn company in the ward. 

Reginald couldn’t resist Gracelyn’s pleading, so he drove both 

her and Harriet out for a meal. 

To eat hamburgers. 

With Gracelyn’s right foot in a cast and bandages, Reginald 

carried her the whole time. 

In the car, Harriet sat in the back with Gracelyn. 

At the burger place, they picked a window seat. Harriet and Gracelyn sat together on a long sofa, while Reginald sat alone 

Chapter162 

across from them. 

It was a rare outing, and Gracelyn was overjoyed, eating her 

burger and fries with a big smile, sometimes even feeding fries 

to Harriet and Reginald. 

Harriet took great care of her, tucking a napkin into her collar 

and wiping her mouth and hands whenever she got messy. 

Taking care of Gracelyn, Harriet thought of her own mother. 

She remembered the little bit of motherly love she had received. 

If her mother could have stayed with her longer, her childhood 

would have been much happier. 

If her marriage with Ellsworth had been normal, she would 

probably be a mother by now. 

After lunch, they took Gracelyn back to the hospital. Once she 

was coaxed into a nap, Reginald drove Harriet back to the 

company. 

With both hands on the steering wheel, Reginald glanced at 

Harriet and said, “Harriet, thank you for coming to keep Grace 

company.”

Harriet smiled and said, “Kids are simple and adorable. 

Honestly, it’s relaxing for me too.” 

After Harriet finished speaking, Reginald turned and took two 

red invitations from the back seat, handing them to her. “Sir 

Leach’s birthday is next Saturday. He asked me to give you an 

invitation as well. See which one is yours and take it.” 

“Okay.” 

Harriet took the invitations from Reginald. The first one she 

opened was hers, with the date and address written in detail. 

The invitation was written by Vicente. 

Looking at Vicente’s name, Harriet couldn’t help but recall the 

day she left the Leach mansion and ran into Vicente’s car. 

He had such a strong presence. 

And this invitation was addressed to her alone, not to her and 

her family. 

After picking out her own invitation, Harriet put Reginald’s back 

in the glove compartment for him. 

Reginald said, “Sir Leach usually doesn’t celebrate his birthday. I 

Chapter162 

guess he wants a lively gathering this year. You’ll get to meet some people and learn a lot.” 

Harriet nodded, “Mm, I’ll make sure to learn as much as I can.”

Meanwhile, at the Fredmolix Hotel. 

After Rushtar Group’s acquisition signing, Kelsey’s father, Edgar 

Graham, hosted a banquet at the hotel for everyone. 

At the table were all heavyweights from the industry, with 

Ellsworth sitting at the head. 

“Ells, I’m so grateful for your help with Voyage Group 

acquisition. Words can’t express it. Let me toast you.” 

After Edgar finished speaking, he downed most of his glass of 

baijiu in one go, then immediately instructed Kelsey, “Kel, take 

good care of Ells. Make sure he’s well looked after.” 

Ellsworth responded to Edgar’s courtesy with just a small sip, 

which was enough of a reply. 

Kelsey, ever the gracious hostess, served Ellsworth soup and 

dishes, smiling as she said, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take good care 

Chapter162 

of Ells.” 

With Kelsey’s gentle manner, the former owner of Voyage Group spoke up, smiling along, “Mr. Graham, you’ve found yourself a great son–in–law. Honestly, I’m envious from the 

bottom of my heart.”
