Craving 94

Chapter94 

The big tree in the yard was lush and full, its leaves rustling in the wind. Harriet turned to glance at Ellsworth, only to see him looking spirited and refreshed. 

Whether in the past or now, he was always so full of energy. 

Looking at him, Harriet didn’t pull her hand away-after all, it was just for show. 

Soon, the two of them entered the villa. Raymond and Tamera 

came in from the backyard as well. When they saw the young 

couple return, Raymond and Tamera greeted Harriet with 

smiles, but when they turned to Ellsworth, their expressions. 

changed as quickly as a Sichuan opera face change. 

Their faces changed instantly. 

Looking at Ellsworth, Tamera asked with a stern face, “Ells, 

there’s all sorts of rumors outside saying you’re going to divorce Hara for Kelsey. What’s going on?” 

When Tamera heard about it that afternoon, she almost fainted 

on the spot. She urged Patsy to call the two of them home 

immediately. 

As soon as Tamera finished speaking, Raymond raised his cane and pointed it at Ellsworth, saying, “You little rascal, do you 

think you’re so grown up now that I don’t dare to hit you 

anymore?” 

Seeing Raymond and Tamera’s attitude, Harriet turned to look 

at Ellsworth. 

He had guessed right. 

Grandpa and Grandma were angry about this. 

After Raymond finished speaking, he swung his cane and gave 

Ellsworth two hard whacks. Harriet was startled. 

It had been a long time since she’d seen Ellsworth get hit. 

Bending over to pat his pants, Ellsworth said nonchalantly, 

“Grandpa, at your age, shouldn’t you know better? Don’t let 

every little rumor outside turn the house upside down.” 

As soon as Ellsworth finished speaking, Patsy’s voice came 

from the dining room: “Hara’s back, so come eat now.” 

As she spoke, Patsy called upstairs twice, telling Kathie to

come down for dinner. 

Patsy didn’t seem troubled by the stock issue at all. She was as 

cheerful as ever. 

Soon, when the whole family was seated at the dining table, Tamera continued her earlier question: “Ells, what’s really going 

on with all these rumors? Why is even the company’s stock 

fluctuating?” 

On the left side of the table, Ellsworth sat next to Harriet. He 

handed her a fork, put some food in her plate, then looked at 

Tamera and said with a smile, “There’s no truth to online 

gossip. Just treat it as a joke.” 

Ellsworth flatly denied the rumors. Tamera looked at him again 

and asked, “So all those things from before were fake too?” 

Ellsworth replied, “What else could they be?” 

Still, those two whacks from Raymond earlier really did hurt. 

After speaking, Ellsworth ladled a bowl of soup for Harriet and 

placed it in front of her. 

Kathie, sitting nearby, let out a couple of sarcastic laughs, as if 

to say that no one would believe a word he said. 

Kathie’s cold laugh made Tamera turn to Harriet and, as if coaxing a child, asked, “Hara, your grandpa and I don’t believe what Ells says. Tell us the truth-does Ells really want to divorce you? Has he been bullying you?” 

Holding her fork, Harriet looked a bit troubled. 

She and Ellsworth really had been discussing divorce lately. 

She had thought they could handle the paperwork quietly, but now it had become a huge scandal, and they still weren’t 

divorced. 

Staring at Tamera, seeing her silver hair and knowing Grandpa 

was almost eighty, Harriet smiled and said, “Grandma, the 

media just wants clicks and attention. You don’t need to take it 

seriously.” 

Without directly admitting to the divorce, Harriet simply told 

Tamera not to believe the media. 

Hearing this, Tamera breathed a sigh of relief. 

But Raymond still looked at Ellsworth with a face full of 

suspicion. 

He’d have to be crazy to believe it. 

Kathie said, “Ells, I hope you’ll learn to be a decent person from now on.” 

Kathie’s words seemed to remind Tamera of something. She turned to Ellsworth, her face serious, and said, “Ells, let me make this clear today: if you really want to divorce Hara, if you insist on being with Kelsey, then go buy two coffins first and let your grandpa and me die before you do it.” 

As soon as Tamera finished, Patsy quickly spat a few times, saying, “Mom, what nonsense is that? Ells would never divorce 

Hara, and he’d never be with Kelsey.” 

Tamera said, “As long as you don’t have that intention, that’s 

good.” 

Then Tamera looked at Ellsworth again and asked, “Since you 

don’t, then this year, have a child and let your grandpa and me 

have a great-grandchild. Can you promise that?” 

Staring straight at Ellsworth, Tamera’s attitude left him no room 

to refuse. 

Seeing that Tamera wouldn’t let it go unless he agreed, 

Ellsworth replied with a laugh, “Alright, alright, we’ll have one.”
