Chapter180
Harriet calmly and politely explained the purpose of her call.
On the other end, Vicente’s voice grew even gentler. He said,
“Ms. Chavez, I haven’t had a chance to use the trial product
from Galaxy Innovations yet. Once I do, if I have any questions
or suggestions, I’ll get in touch with you. Is that alright?”
Harriet replied, “Of course, Mr. Leach. Sorry to bother you.”
With that, the two of them ended the call.
But in the days that followed, Vicente never contacted Harriet-
no questions, no suggestions.
Harriet thought to herself that he was probably too busy with
work and hadn’t had time to try it out yet.
So, she didn’t bother him further.
As for Ellsworth, he went on a business trip right after receiving
the product. Knowing his situation, Harriet decided to leave it
for now and didn’t reach out.
Olivia, on the other hand, often gave Harriet feedback, saying

the robot was wonderful–not only could it chat with her, but it
was also very thoughtful, able to monitor her health at any time
and create the healthiest diet and exercise plans for her.
Most importantly, there was one time when she almost fell in
the living room, and the robot’s emergency airbag function
saved her, so she praised Harriet and her team to the skies.
Olivia’s satisfaction with the product gave Harriet new
inspiration. She added a process for the robot to proactively
communicate with users, allowing all functions to be easily
operated through voice prompts, just like talking to a regular
person.
By the time she finished editing and saving the new program, it
was already past ten in the evening.
Harriet stretched, feeling the stiffness in her back and neck.
As she packed up and drove home, her mind was still full of
work, though she occasionally thought about her new
apartment.
Kat had called her that afternoon to say the furniture had been
delivered, and that she had added a few more air purifiers. After
airing out for a few days, it would be just about ready.

Listening to the call, Harriet was deeply moved and joked that if
Kathie were a man, she would have married her long ago.
Kathie burst out laughing and said she wouldn’t mind marrying
Harriet even now.
Thinking about these things as she got home, Harriet saw
Jacquelyn coming out of her room.
Seeing Harriet coming home so late, Jacquelyn said with
concern, “Mrs. Townsend, you can’t keep working overtime like
this. Your health will suffer. You haven’t had dinner yet, have
you? I saved some food for you. I’ll go get it.”
Harriet smiled and said, “Alright, thank you, Jacquelyn.”
While Harriet was eating, Jacquelyn told her that Ellsworth had.
returned from his business trip and mentioned that he looked a
bit thinner these days.
Harriet just smiled and said nothing.
After finishing her meal and going upstairs, she thought
Ellsworth would already be resting, but as soon as she reached
the top, Ellsworth came out of the master bedroom holding a
cup of water.

The two ran into each other, and Harriet greeted him politely,
“You’re back.”
“Yeah,” Ellsworth replied coolly.
At that moment, Harriet remembered the robot and said to him,
“By the way, if you have any questions or suggestions about the trial product the company gave you, you can send them to me.”
Ellsworth replied gently, “Alright.”
Then Ellsworth looked at her and said, “Harriet, you need to
adjust your working hours. If you keep this up, your health will
suffer.”
Harriet said, “I know. I’ll make adjustments.”
The two of them stood in the hallway, the yellow light casting a
warm glow, with Ellsworth blocking Harriet’s way.
A sudden silence fell between them, as if they hadn’t seen each
other in years.
Looking up at Ellsworth, Harriet tried to move to the left to
leave, but Ellsworth also stepped to the left.
As a result, they bumped into each other.
Chapter180
Seeing this, Harriet quickly moved to the right to make way for
him, but Ellsworth also moved to the right.
They bumped into each other again.
After bumping into each other twice, Harriet felt a bit helpless.
Finally, she suddenly looked up at Ellsworth and said, “By the
way, I called Mr. Hurley. He said the agreement is ready and has
already been given to you. I have time now, so I can sign it.”
When Harriet brought up the divorce, Ellsworth’s expression
darkened.
Lowering his gaze to look at Harriet for a moment, Ellsworth
said calmly, “The agreement is ready. I’m reviewing it on my
end.”
Then he added in the same calm tone, “Harriet, I suggest we
both think carefully about the divorce. My opinion is that if you
still insist on it by the end of the year, then we’ll go through with
the procedures.”
