Chapter93Â
Ellsworth opened his eyes: “Much better.”Â
Hearing this, Harriet withdrew her hands and rubbed themÂ
together.Â
Sitting up straight, Ellsworth looked at Harriet, seeing her quietly sitting beside him, and just gazed at her calmly.Â
After rubbing her hands for a while, Harriet looked up and found Ellsworth watching her. She said softly, “Let’s go in.”Â
As soon as Harriet finished speaking, Ellsworth raised his rightÂ
hand, pressed it against the back of her head, and with a littleÂ
force, pulled her toward him.Â
Then… he kissed her squarely on the lips.Â
It’s fine when they don’t see each other, but every time theyÂ
meet, seeing her quietly by his side, so obedient, Ellsworth justÂ
can’t help himself.Â
After all, he’s still young, at just the right age.Â
Harriet was beautiful and had a great figure. Any normal manÂ
Chapter93Â
would react to her.Â
Ellsworth’s sudden kiss didn’t really surprise Harriet anymore;Â
she was almost used to his kisses.Â
She pressed her hands against his chest, trying to push himÂ
away, but couldn’t.Â
Sometimes, thinking about it afterward, she would resolve thatÂ
if Ellsworth did this again, she wouldn’t be polite-she’d slap him.Â
But every time she saw his face, remembered how he carriedÂ
her out of the fire, and all those memories, her arm just felt tooÂ
heavy to lift.Â
She just couldn’t do it.Â
After a long, heated kiss, Harriet’s lips and tongue were leftÂ
tingling and numb.Â
She wiped her mouth with her hand, then looked at EllsworthÂ
seriously and reminded him, “Ellsworth, don’t do that again.”Â
Ellsworth didn’t take it seriously and ignored her words. Instead,Â
he picked up a document from the side and handed it to her:Â
“Sign this.”Â
Taking the document from Ellsworth, Harriet glanced up at himÂ
before lowering her head to look at the papers in her hands.Â
She opened the document unhurriedly, but when she saw the words at the top of the agreement, she froze.Â
Snapping back to herself, she looked up at Ellsworth again and said to him, “Ellsworth, I can’t sign this document.”Â
A share transfer agreement, and for 10% of the Townsend Group at that-she couldn’t sign it.Â
The responsibility was just too great.Â
Seeing how serious Harriet was, Ellsworth said lazily, “So you’re not going to help out with the company anymore?”Â
But Harriet reminded him solemnly, “Ellsworth, if I sign this, the document takes effect, and 10% of the Townsend Group will be under my name. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get greedy and really swallow it all up?”Â
Ellsworth burst out laughing, his laughter hearty as he said, “Well, you’d have to be able to swallow it first. Don’t worry, it’s just a formality for appearances.”Â
Ellsworth’s confidence made Harriet look at him with a hint ofÂ
suspicion.Â
Chapter93Â
After watching him for a while, she asked, “Ellsworth, are you planning to get a divorce while the stock price is plummeting?”Â
As she said this, Harriet glanced at the agreement in her handÂ
again. “Is this agreement my divorce compensation?”Â
Harriet’s wild imagination made Ellsworth laugh even harderÂ
than before. He said, “Come on, would a divorce ever come withÂ
perks like that?”Â
…Harriet looked at him, feeling a bit embarrassed.Â
True, 10% of the Townsend Group-she really was dreaming tooÂ
big.Â
Seeing Harriet’s embarrassment, Ellsworth put away his smileÂ
and said nonchalantly, “Even if the shares are under your name,Â
without my approval, they don’t mean much to you.”Â
What Ellsworth said was true.Â
Who would really dare to mess with what’s his?Â
Looking at the agreement in her hand, she thought that if sheÂ
signed it, no one could use her resignation from the TownsendÂ
Group against her in the future.Â
Chapter93Â
With that thought, Harriet took a pen from her bag and signed her name after all.Â
After signing, when Harriet handed the agreement to Ellsworth, he casually put it back where it belonged.Â
As for divorce?Â
Impossible. Like he said, the Ells family doesn’t have such aÂ
rule.Â
After putting away the agreement, Ellsworth glanced at HarrietÂ
and said, “Alright, let’s go back and eat.”Â
Ellsworth seemed to be in great spirits, as if this whole matterÂ
hadn’t affected him much at all.Â
In reality, it wasn’t that Ellsworth didn’t feel the pain, but since itÂ
had already happened, feeling bad wouldn’t help. He’d just earnÂ
it back later.Â
Seeing that Ellsworth didn’t drive the car into the yard butÂ
parked right at the gate, Harriet got out of the car as well.Â
She walked around the front of the car and followed EllsworthÂ
into the yard. As soon as she stepped inside, Ellsworth took hisÂ
right hand out of his pocket and naturally took her hand.Â
It felt completely natural.Â
