Chapter119Â
Thinking of this, Harriet didn’t try to hide it. She nodded toÂ
Ellsworth and said softly, “Yes, I went to look at houses.”Â
It’s just that the houses she liked, she couldn’t afford to buy forÂ
now.Â
After Harriet admitted she had gone house hunting, EllsworthÂ
put down his book, leaned slightly to the right, and reached outÂ
to open the drawer of the bedside table.Â
Then, he took out a property deed from inside and handed it toÂ
Harriet as if it were nothing.Â
Harriet glanced down at the property deed Ellsworth handedÂ
her, then looked up at him and asked, “What does this mean?”Â
If they were talking about divorce, he shouldn’t just be givingÂ
her a property deed-there should be an agreement as well.Â
Harriet didn’t take the deed, just looked up at him in confusion.Â
Ellsworth said unhurriedly, “Even if we really split up, I can’t giveÂ
you 10% of the shares, but it’s not like you’d walk away withÂ
nothing.”Â
Chapter119Â
With Ellsworth saying this much, Harriet didn’t say anythingÂ
more. She reached out to take the property deed and saidÂ
gently, “Thank you, then.”Â
She didn’t bother with pleasantries with Ellsworth, afraid thatÂ
being too polite would only drag out the divorce process.Â
Since it had already been brought up, she didn’t want to delayÂ
any longer.Â
However, as she took the property deed, she accidentallyÂ
caught sight of the ring on his ring finger. Harriet couldn’t helpÂ
but pause, her gaze lingering for a moment.Â
The ring was beautiful-anyone could tell at a glance that he wasÂ
taken, that he was married.Â
Seeing her suddenly distracted, Ellsworth asked, “What’sÂ
wrong? Afraid to take it?”Â
Harriet snapped back to reality, quickly took the property deed,Â
looked up at him with a smile, and said, “It’s nothing.”Â
Then she looked down and flipped through the property deed inÂ
her hand-it was for the Auburn Heights villa.Â
It was worth several hundred million.Â
After reading the deed, as Harriet turned to put it back in theÂ
bedside table, she looked at Ellsworth again and asked, “So howÂ
are we going to talk to your family about this? How do we tell your parents and your grandfather? Or should we just get theÂ
divorce certificate first and tell them afterward?”Â
Since he had already given her the property deed andÂ
mentioned splitting up, Harriet figured Ellsworth probablyÂ
wanted to move the divorce along as well.Â
There wouldn’t be any problem on her grandfather’s side, andÂ
Ellsworth’s father, Colin, probably wouldn’t object either. TheÂ
main issue was Raymond and Tamera-they were still hoping forÂ
a great-grandchild.Â
If they really wanted a great-grandchild soon, then her divorceÂ
from Ellsworth should be put on the agenda.Â
Hearing Harriet’s suggestion, Ellsworth looked up at her andÂ
said lazily, “Harriet, when you look at me, can’t you think ofÂ
anything besides divorce?”Â
With Ellsworth saying that, Harriet realized she had indeedÂ
brought it up several times lately, as if she were rushing him.Â
She lowered her eyes, withdrew her gaze from him, and didn’tÂ
mention it again.Â
Chapter119Â
She sat on the bed like him, flipping through her book.Â
When she started to feel sleepy, Harriet put down her book,Â
glanced at him, and reminded him, “It’s getting late. You shouldÂ
rest early too.”Â
After saying that, she couldn’t help but add, “Try to find someÂ
time to handle the paperwork soon. Once it’s done, I won’t bringÂ
it up again, and no one will nag you about it anymore.”Â
After speaking calmly, as Harriet closed her eyes, she sawÂ
Ellsworth looking down at her.Â
She pulled the thin blanket over herself and said nothing more.Â
But she couldn’t help but wonder-regarding the Galaxy Innovations partnership, would Ellsworth give up Rushtar Group to continue, or would he stick with Kelsey through thick andÂ
thin?Â
Beside her, hearing Harriet’s reminder, Ellsworth looked down at her. If it weren’t so late and she hadn’t already lain down, he really would have wanted to pull her up and ask what sheÂ
thought about every day.Â
He stared at Harriet for a while without moving. In the end, he didn’t call her up. He used the remote to turn off the main lightÂ

in the room, put down his book, and went to sleep as well.Â
***Â
The next afternoon, while Harriet was writing a data report inÂ
her office, Kathie called.Â
She said she was back from her business trip and asked HarrietÂ
to have dinner together later.Â
Harriet had missed her so much lately, and had so much to sayÂ
to her, that she agreed immediately.Â
When it was time to get off work, she didn’t stay late, packedÂ
up, and left.Â
As soon as she reached the building entrance, Kathie’s car wasÂ
already waiting downstairs. Harriet opened the passenger doorÂ
and got in with a big smile.Â
