Craving 70

Chapter 70 

Chapter 70 

Looking at Ellsworth, Kenneth was about to say something, but Ellsworth added calmly, “Actually, between the two of us, she doesn’t like either of us. I’ve read her diary.” 

Kenneth had wanted to say more, but Ellsworth said he’d read Harriet’s diary. 

For a moment, Kenneth felt that whatever he wanted to say seemed powerless. 

Turning to look at Ellsworth, a night breeze blew by. Kenneth 

suddenly asked, “Then do you like Hara? Are you sincere with 

her?” 

Ellsworth turned to look at Kenneth and fell silent. 

It wasn’t until the nearly finished cigarette burned his fingers 

that he snapped out of it, startled, and tossed the cigarette into 

the nearby trash can. 

Then, with both hands in his pockets, he looked at the flowers 

and trees ahead, his face expressionless. “Before I read her 

diary, I wanted to live a good life with her. I wanted to be a 

Chapter 70 

father soon.” 

Ellsworth didn’t answer his question directly. Kenneth asked, “Still haven’t gotten over Sylvia?” 

When Kenneth mentioned Sylvia, Ellsworth just smiled and said 

nothing. 

His gaze grew distant as he stared at the night scene in the yard for a long time. Then Ellsworth stood up and said, “Let’s go 

back.” 

With that, the two brothers walked back toward the villa. 

The yard was large, and the breeze was cool on their bodies, but Ellsworth was weighed down with heavy thoughts. 

He hadn’t forgotten Sylvia-he still hadn’t forgotten Sylvia. 

If it weren’t for Sylvia, he probably wouldn’t have made it this 

far. 

How could it be so easy to forget? 

When they reached the steps of the villa, Kenneth suddenly 

looked at Ellsworth and said, “Since you never thought about 

divorce, then live well with Hara from now on. Hara isn’t a 

complicated girl. If you have issues, communicate more 

Ellsworth smiled. “Got it.” 

A moment passed. 

When the two entered the house, Patsy asked Ellsworth loudly, “Ells, are you and Hara going back to Auburn Heights tonight, or staying at the Townsend’s mansion?” 

Hearing this, Ellsworth looked at Harriet and asked, “Stay at the 

Townsend’s mansion?” 

Harriet said, “Let’s go back to Auburn Heights. I have to go to 

work tomorrow, and I need to pack up tonight.” 

Patsy: “Alright, then you two go back.” 

So, after saying goodbye to the elders, Ellsworth drove Harriet 

back to Auburn Heights. 

On the way back, Harriet sat in the front passenger seat 

because Ellsworth had locked the back doors. 

The car was very quiet. Ellsworth gripped the steering wheel 

with both hands, while Harriet turned her face to look at the 

night scenery outside.

At that moment, Ellsworth’s phone rang. It was a call from 

Kelsey. 

Instead of using the car’s Bluetooth, Ellsworth picked up the phone and answered it at his ear. 

‘Just left the Townsend’s mansion, on the way back now.” 

“Alright, come to the company in a couple of days.” 

“I’ll have someone check with the Housing Bureau.” 

“It’s fine, we’ll talk about it later.” 

“Okay, hanging up now. You should get some rest too.” 

Throughout Ellsworth’s entire phone call, Harriet didn’t move a muscle, not even turning to look at him once. 

There had been too many incidents like this. The frequency of his contact with Kelsey in a single day was more than he spoke 

to her in a whole year. 

Resting her cheek in her palm, Harriet gazed out at the night, 

not thinking much. She simply enjoyed the peace of the 

moment. 

Seeing Harriet so calm and indifferent, Ellsworth glanced at her.

Noticing she was daydreaming the whole time and never once looked at him, he reached out with his right hand and gently pinched the back of her neck. 

It took Harriet a while to react to Ellsworth’s touch. After a 

moment, she turned to look at him and asked quietly, “Is there 

something you want?” 

As soon as Harriet spoke, Ellsworth immediately lost interest. He quickly withdrew his hand from her neck, his eyes 

expressionless. “Nothing.” 

After hearing this, Harriet calmly withdrew her gaze from his 

face and looked back out at the night. 

Now, she no longer tried to make conversation with Ellsworth, 

nor was she afraid of awkward silences.

At eleven o’clock, when the two returned home, Jacquelyn and 

the others were already asleep. 

Harriet hadn’t told Jacquelyn and the others that she and 

Ellsworth would be coming back tonight. 

When they went upstairs, Harriet noticed that Patsy wasn’t 

Chapter 70 

staying at Auburn Heights, so before reaching the master 

bedroom, she stopped at the guest room door. 

But when she put her suitcase down and reached out to open 

the door, she found that the guest room she usually stayed in 

wouldn’t open. 

Thinking it was just her imagination, she pressed down on the 

doorknob a few more times, but the door still wouldn’t open.
