Craving 163

Chapter163 

If he had a daughter, if he could have a son–in–law like Ellsworth, 

Voyage Group wouldn’t have been acquired today–it would have 

been saved. 

Edgar said, “That’s right, that’s right. Having Ells in the Graham 

family is a blessing for us all.” 

There were many people at the table, most of them Edgar’s 

generation, so Ellsworth didn’t say much, but he gave the 

Graham family plenty of face. 

After several rounds of drinks, Ellsworth’s phone suddenly rang. 

It was a WhatsApp notification. 

The banquet was boring, and since it wasn’t the Townsend 

Group’s event, Ellsworth picked up his phone and opened the 

WhatsApp message. 

The next second, Ellsworth’s expression instantly darkened. 

Over a dozen photos in a row–all of them showed Harriet having 

fried chicken and burgers with Reginald and his daughter. 

Chapter163 

In the photos, Harriet smiled as gently as a spring breeze. She 

not only took careful care of Gracelyn, but Gracelyn would also 

sometimes feed her and Reginald, and Reginald looked after 

her as well. 

Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were a family 

of three. 

The more Ellsworth flipped through the photos, the happier 

Harriet looked, and the darker his expression became. 

Beside him, seeing Ellsworth’s gloomy face, Kelsey quickly put 

down her fork, turned to him, and asked softly, “Ells, what’s 

wrong?” 

Exiting WhatsApp on his phone, Ellsworth tossed the phone 

back onto the table with just the right amount of force, his face 

expressionless as he said, “It’s nothing.” 

Seeing this, Kelsey quickly smiled and picked up some food for 

Ellsworth. “You haven’t eaten much. Have a bit more.” 

While Kelsey was being attentive, Ellsworth’s mind was filled 

with the image of Harriet dining with Reginald and his daughter. 

For a moment, he felt a pang of jealousy.

Even so, after the Graham family luncheon ended, Ellsworth 

didn’t go looking for Harriet because of it. He didn’t contact her, 

nor did he ask her anything. 

He had seen what he had seen, and that was that. 

It was as if… nothing had happened at all. 

It wasn’t until after work in the evening, when Harriet, carrying 

her bag and car keys, walked in high heels toward the open–air 

parking lot in front of the office building, that a black sedan 

parked nearby honked at her several times. 

Harriet turned to look and, seeing the familiar license plate, her 

steps gradually slowed until she stopped. 

Ellsworth. 

What was he doing here? 

Seeing Harriet stop in surprise, Ellsworth slowly rolled down the 

window, rested both hands on the steering wheel, and looked at 

her lazily as he asked, “Why are you just standing there? Not 

going home?” 

Hearing Ellsworth’s voice, Harriet started walking again. 

Chapter 163 

She walked toward him. 

At that moment, Ellsworth said lazily, “Get in the car.” 

Seeing Ellsworth act so nonchalant, Harriet looked at him, but in 

the end, she still opened the car door and got in. 

Because her intuition told her that Ellsworth had something to 

discuss with her. 

After Harriet got in, Ellsworth stepped on the gas and took her 

to a restaurant. 

Since they got married, this was the first time the two of them 

had dined out alone together. 

A small private room in the lobby on the first floor. 

They sat side by side, surrounded by other diners outside, the 

place lively with laughter and conversation. 

The air was full of the warmth of everyday life. 

At the table, Ellsworth sat with a confident posture, flipping 

through the menu and ordering several of Harriet’s favorite 

dishes. 

After he finished ordering, he handed the menu to Harriet. 

Chapter 163 

Harriet said that was enough and didn’t add anything else. 

Hearing this, Ellsworth handed the menu to the waiter. 

Meanwhile, Harriet poured him some tea and said, “If you have 

something to say, just say it. No need to go through all this 

trouble.” 

She guessed that the divorce agreement must be ready. 

This meal was Ellsworth’s way of treating her to a farewell 

dinner. 

Hearing Harriet’s words, Ellsworth smiled. “Do I have to have a 

reason to invite you to dinner?” 

With that, Ellsworth reached up to tuck a stray lock of hair 

behind her ear, then lifted her chin and studied her face, smiling 

as he said, “You’re getting prettier and prettier.” 

As for her lunch with Reginald and his daughter, Ellsworth didn’t 

mention a word. 

Pushing Ellsworth’s hand away, Harriet felt unsettled by his 

behavior today–she couldn’t figure him out. 

After Harriet pushed his hand away, Ellsworth smiled again and 

asked, “What, feeling guilty?” 

Chapter 163 

Harriet looked up. “What do I have to feel guilty about?” 

But… seeing the way Ellsworth was staring at her, his eyes fixed 

intently, Harriet said softly, “I admit, I went house hunting with 

Kat over the weekend. I’m planning to buy a place.”
