But things would never not work out-she would only get better
and better. She only said this to reassure Tamera.
After Harriet finished, Patsy came over from the side yard.
Seeing Harriet and Ellsworth had returned, she greeted Harriet
warmly, “Hara, you’re back. Come have dinner with Grandma.”
Then she instructed Ellsworth, “Ells, go to the backyard and call
Grandpa.”
Hearing Patsy’s instructions, Ellsworth put down his book and
unhurriedly went to the backyard to call Raymond.
Soon, when the family was seated at the dining table, Patsy
looked at Ellsworth and said, “Ells, from now on, bring Hara
home for dinner every weekend. And when you have time, take
Hara to visit her grandfather more often.”
“Raymond and Tamera are getting old. All they hope for is for
you young ones to visit more often.”
Ellsworth served Harriet a bowl of soup and handed it to her,
replying, “Understood.”

Seeing this, Tamera also looked at Ellsworth and reminded him,
“Don’t forget your promise to get pregnant this year and let me
and your grandpa have a great-grandchild next year. Stop
thinking about those vixens outside and don’t let your mind
wander.”
The reason Tamera insisted on Ellsworth bringing Harriet home
for dinner on weekends was to keep him away from Kelsey.
Tamera kept urging them to have a child. Harriet said nothing,
just lowered her head and ate.
Ellsworth simply replied, “Don’t worry, Grandma.”
Seeing Tamera bring up the old topic again, Patsy served her
some food and said, “Mom, Ells and Hara both have this in
mind. You don’t need to mention it every time. Don’t put too
much pressure on them.”
Patsy wasn’t worried about Ellsworth feeling pressured, but
Harriet-she could tell Harriet didn’t want to talk about it and felt
embarrassed.
So she tried to mediate.
After all, too much pressure isn’t good for getting pregnant.
Chapter 112
Tamera quickly agreed, “Alright, alright, as long as they keep it.
in mind, I’ll mention it less from now on.”
After dinner, the two of them didn’t leave right away. Ellsworth
played chess with Raymond, while Harriet chatted and watched
TV with Tamera.
However, Kathie wasn’t home today, which left Harriet feeling a
bit empty, as if something was missing.
After nine, Ellsworth checked his watch and got up to leave.
Harriet stood up as well.
Raymond and Tamera saw them out. Only after the car left the
yard did Patsy help the two elders back inside.
On the way back, the car was still very quiet. Harriet rested her
chin in her hand, staring out the window, as if she were in a taxi.
With his left hand on the steering wheel, Ellsworth glanced at
Harriet, then picked up a cigarette and lighter from the side.
Just as he shook a cigarette out of the pack, Ellsworth changed
his mind and tossed the pack back with a snap.
Beside him, Harriet didn’t look at him, not even noticing his
series of actions.
Chapter112
He glanced at Harriet again, seeing her lost in thought as she gazed out the window. With both hands on the wheel, Ellsworth
called her name: “Harriet.”
Hearing Ellsworth call her, Harriet snapped back to attention
and looked at him seriously. “Yes?”
Seeing this, Ellsworth said lightly, “Pick a date. Let’s have the
wedding.”
After Ellsworth finished speaking, Harriet just stared at him.
She looked at Ellsworth for a long time before finally asking,
“Ellsworth, what did you just say?”
A wedding?
Harriet thought she must have misheard.
Seeing Harriet’s uncertain expression, Ellsworth glanced at her
and repeated nonchalantly, “Pick a date. Let’s have the
wedding.”
After Ellsworth finished speaking, Harriet just stared at him
motionlessly.
She gazed at Ellsworth for quite a while before she gently
Chapter112
asked, “Did Grandpa say something to you again tonight? Is he
putting pressure on you again?”
When Harriet mentioned Raymond, Ellsworth gripped the
steering wheel, his brows darkening as he replied coldly, “Why is
it that between you and me, everything always has to involve someone else? Why does it always have to be about what
others say?”
Ellsworth’s tone was unpleasant, and Harriet’s expression
darkened as well, her face turning a little pale.
Toward her, he was either indifferent or full of disdain.
Or simply impatient.
Harriet looked at him without saying a word, and Ellsworth
.realized his tone had been too harsh.
He just didn’t like that whenever he showed any emotion, she
always thought it was because of Raymond or his parents.
After watching Ellsworth for a while, Harriet said nothing more
and simply turned her gaze back to the road ahead.
At this moment, there weren’t many cars on the road, and the
yellow streetlights made the night seem even quieter.
Chapter112
After a few words that didn’t quite connect, the atmosphere in
the car grew even more silent.
