Craving 105

Chapter105 

As soon as Harriet finished speaking, Ellsworth scooped her up 

from the chair. 

Startled, Harriet grabbed his shirt with both hands. “Ellsworth, 

what are you doing?” 

Ellsworth tossed Harriet onto the bed-not too hard, not too soft- 

trapping her in his arms and asked with a laugh, “It’s late at 

night. What do you think I want to do?” 

Earlier at Galaxy Innovations, some of the old employees had 

asked him if Harriet was his wife, saying the young lady was 

very impressive for her age. At that moment, he just wanted to 

be alone with her, to make her his. 

But he had to work then, so he held back. 

As Harriet tried to push herself up from the bed, Ellsworth 

grabbed her hands and pressed her back down. 

Harriet struggled a few times, but still couldn’t break free. 

When Ellsworth leaned down to kiss her, Harriet frowned and 

turned her face away.

Seeing Harriet’s reluctance, Ellsworth didn’t continue. He just 

looked at her. 

After staring at Harriet for a while, Ellsworth got up from her. 

Then, without a word, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, 

picked up a cigarette and lighter from the cabinet, and lit a 

cigarette for himself. 

Smoke rings accompanied his exhaled breath as Ellsworth 

turned around, tapped the ash into the tray on the side cabinet, 

and looked at Harriet, explaining in a calm voice, “Kelsey can’t 

affect your position as Mrs. Townsend.” 

Even though Harriet hadn’t said anything, Ellsworth wasn’t 

stupid. He knew exactly what he’d done. 

Her position? 

Getting up from the bed, Harriet couldn’t be bothered to explain further and said directly, “I don’t want to be Mrs. Townsend 

anymore. I’m still determined to get a divorce.” 

At Harriet’s attitude, Ellsworth just looked at her. 

Meeting Ellsworth’s gaze, Harriet didn’t back down and 

continued, “The resignation issue shouldn’t have any more 

Chapter 105 

impact. Once things die down, before we go through the 

formalities, it should be fine to make an announcement in 

advance.” 

“It’s just that, for the sake of the company’s stock stability, it 

would be better for you and Kelsey to wait a year or so before 

getting married. By then, it should be fine.” 

She’d even thought about him marrying Kelsey. Ellsworth 

walked over to the coffee table, stubbed out his half-smoked 

cigarette in the ashtray, and just looked at Harriet without 

saying a word. 

He had thought that after the stock incident, their relationship 

would have eased, and that she wouldn’t bring up divorce again. 

Staring at Harriet for a long time, seeing her quietly sit back 

down at the desk, Ellsworth said, “I’m going out. Get some rest 

early.” 

Harriet didn’t look at him, kept her eyes on the computer, and 

replied coolly, “Okay,” 

It wasn’t until she heard the door close-not too hard, not too 

soft-that Harriet finally turned to look at the doorway, staring for 

a long, long time.

He drove away from Auburn Heights. 

Ellsworth didn’t go to Kelsey, but called Johnathan out for a 

drink. 

At the bar. 

By the time Johnathan arrived, Ellsworth was already there. 

Walking up to the table and looking at Ellsworth, Johnathan 

said with disdain, “You had another fight with Hara, didn’t you? | 

really didn’t want to come out and keep you company.” 

It’s been three years. How many times had he tried to talk 

sense into him? 

Had he ever listened? 

Picking up the glass on the table and downing half of it in one 

gulp, Ellsworth said carelessly, “Who said I fought with her?” 

Johnathan sat down on the sofa beside him and said lazily, 

“True, you don’t even go home. You don’t give Hara a chance to 

vent. You’re just playing the cold war.” 

After speaking, Johnathan called over a waiter and ordered a 

Chapter 105 

fresh juice for himself. 

Ellsworth looked up at him and said, “Trying to be healthy lately, 

not drinking alcohol.” 

Ellsworth rolled his eyes at him, not bothering to respond. 

When the waiter brought the juice, Johnathan took a sip, looked 

at Ellsworth, and asked, “Did you take Kelsey to Galaxy 

Innovations today?” 

When Ellsworth got involved in this, Johnathan already felt it 

wasn’t a good sign. 

The key was, a lot of what Ellsworth did really disrespected 

Harriet and didn’t give her any face. Even as his brothers, they 

couldn’t stand to watch. 

At Johnathan’s question, Ellsworth took a sip of his drink and 

replied unhurriedly, “Kelsey couldn’t secure the Galaxy 

Innovations project. I didn’t go there just for the Graham family. 

Reginald’s project really does have potential.” 

Johnathan said, “But that’s not how it looks. Besides, if 

Reginald really chooses to work with you, would you really leave 

the Graham family out of it?”

After Johnathan finished, Ellsworth fell silent.
