Chapter165
Hearing the sound of Ellsworth getting out and closing the car
door, Harriet watched his figure walk around the front of the car
and murmured, “Ellsworth, did you ever like me?”
As she finished speaking, Ellsworth came to the passenger
side, opened the door for her, and, leaning lazily with his arm on
the door, teased, “Don’t even want to go home anymore?”
Hearing his words, Harriet got out of the car.
After showering and changing in the bedroom, Harriet planned
to talk to Ellsworth, to tell him that her grandparents already
knew about the divorce, the legal department was preparing the
contract, and that she would move back to the next room
instead of staying in his. Just then, Ellsworth suddenly pulled a
chair in front of the sofa, nodded at the sofa, and said to her,
“Sit.”
Harriet glanced at the chair.
She knew it–Ellsworth had something to say today, and she had
guessed right.
Chapter 165
Without much emotion, Harriet looked at Ellsworth for a while, then walked over calmly and sat down on the sofa.
She was already prepared. She had imagined this scene
countless times before. There was a pen on the desk–she could
sign at any time.
After Harriet sat down, Ellsworth took a seat in the chair
opposite her.
They sat facing each other. Seeing Harriet’s hair was a bit
messy, Ellsworth reached out to tidy it for her.
Harriet didn’t move his hand away, just stared straight at him.
After fixing Harriet’s messy hair, Ellsworth turned and picked up
a stack of photos from the coffee table behind him, handing
them over as if it were nothing.
Harriet took the photos and looked through them, momentarily
at a loss for words.
She thought Ellsworth wanted to talk about the divorce, that the
agreement was ready.
But… what was all this mess? Weren’t these just photos of her
having burgers with Gracelyn?
Chapter 165
After looking through the photos, Harriet looked up at Ellsworth, about to ask what he meant, but Ellsworth spoke first.
He looked straight at her, his tone calm and unreadable as he asked, “Do you like Reginald? Or do you like that child?”
Before Harriet could answer, Ellsworth continued, “If you like
Reginald, I’ll deal with him right away. If you like kids, we can
have a few of our own.”
Have a few?
Harriet couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation at his words.
So all this fuss tonight was just about this?
Harriet stared speechlessly at Ellsworth for a long time before
saying seriously, “Ellsworth, stop joking. If there’s nothing else,
I’m going to rest in the next room.”
Utterly unreasonable.
After speaking, Harriet got up to leave, but Ellsworth grabbed
her wrist and pulled her back.
Landing back on the sofa, Harriet said, “Ellsworth, what exactly
do you want? And if you’re going to question me, shouldn’t I ask
Chapter165
you first? Didn’t you say you’d be back in a few days? Why did you suddenly come back early today?”
At Harriet’s sharpness, Ellsworth said, “So, do you like
Reginald?”
With that, Ellsworth reached for his phone on the coffee table.
Seeing this, Harriet snatched his phone away. “Don’t go making
calls or asking around. Don’t complicate my work environment.
Stop projecting your own issues onto me.”
As soon as Harriet finished speaking, Ellsworth suddenly bent
down and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
Harriet was startled, slapping his back with both hands.
“Ellsworth, what are you doing? Put me down!”
Ellsworth didn’t listen at all. He tossed her onto the bed–not too
hard, not too soft–and trapped her in his arms.
He had held back all day.
He had spent the whole day holding back over this.
Now, seeing how little Harriet cared, and how she raised her
voice at him, Ellsworth just wanted to teach her a lesson, to
Chapter165
make her cry and beg for mercy, to make her never mention
divorce again.
He wanted to make her his.
As Harriet tried to push herself up from the bed, Ellsworth
grabbed her hand and pinned her down.
Ellsworth was much stronger than before–more forceful, more
domineering.
Yet he was still careful, not without tenderness.
He held one of her hands, and with the other, quickly undid her
clothes.
After being messed with by him all night, Harriet was annoyed.
She struggled and protested, “Ellsworth, I don’t consent. This is
illegal.”
Ellsworth just laughed. “Go ahead, try to sue me. See if anyone
dares take your case.”
“Ells…” Harriet hadn’t even finished calling his name before she
was drowned in his overwhelming kisses.
As he kissed her, his hands were anything but idle.
Chapter165
Harriet pushed at him with all her might, but found she was no
match for Ellsworth’s strength.
He could do whatever he wanted with her.
