Craving 187

Chapter187 

“There’s no reason.” At this, Ellsworth reminded her calmly, 

“Hara, too much of anything backfires.” 

“If you don’t make a fuss and behave, maybe when I’m in a 

good mood I’ll sign the agreement for you. But if you keep 

jumping up and down, bringing up divorce every time you see 

me–don’t you know I’m naturally rebellious?” 

Harriet said, “When have I ever jumped up and down?” 

Ellsworth raised his eyebrows. “You took the agreement to 

Grandpa, and you say you’re not jumping up and down?” 

“That’s because you refuse to sign.” 

“Just because you handed it over, you think I’ll sign? Why don’t 

you open it up and check again–see if I’ve signed it or not?” 

Ellsworth was completely unconcerned, while Harriet stared at 

him. 

She was left speechless. 

Ellsworth… How could Ellsworth be like this? 

Chapter 187 

Staring straight at Ellsworth, Harriet asked weakly, “Ellsworth, 

what do you really want?” 

Ellsworth replied, “I’ve already made myself very clear just now.” 

After Ellsworth finished speaking, Harriet just looked at him in 

silence. 

What he meant was, he’d transfer the assets to her first, and 

sign the agreement whenever he felt like it. 

Harriet stared at Ellsworth for a while, then turned her face 

away without saying a word. 

She didn’t want to look at him anymore. 

Seeing this, Ellsworth gently placed his right hand on the back 

of her neck, massaging lightly as he reminded her, “And don’t. 

even think about going the lawsuit route. No lawyer will take 

your case, and if you wait for the case to be filed and go to 

court, you’ll probably be waiting until you’re old and gray.” 

Hearing Ellsworth say she’d be waiting until she was old and 

gray, Harriet shot him a glare, turning her face away. 

She felt he was just bullying her with his power.

Harriet turned her face away, refusing to look at him or speak. 

Ellsworth gently pulled her arm and drew her into his embrace. 

Harriet was too tired to push Ellsworth away anymore; she no 

longer had the energy to argue with him. 

Harriet remained silent. Ellsworth held her, kissed her forehead, 

and said wearily, “Hara, you really know how to make a scene. 

I’ve seen it for myself this time. I’m afraid of you now.” 

He had always known she was stubborn, but he never expected 

her to be this stubborn. 

And ever since she brought up divorce, he had actually been feeling quite exhausted. 

He had to think about how to deal with her, how to coax her, 

how to talk things over with her. 

At the sound of Ellsworth calling her “Hara,” Harriet looked up at him, her heart weary. “Ellsworth, even if you keep dragging this out, I won’t go back to how things were. From now on, whatever you do, I’ll do the same. If you cross the line, I’ll cross it too. I 

won’t save your face anymore.” 

Hearing her words, Ellsworth didn’t mind. His right hand, resting on her back, gently stroked her as he coaxed, “From now on, I’ll

behave myself. I’ll keep my distance from other women.” 

Harriet didn’t respond to Ellsworth’s sweet talk, nor did she 

believe him. 

She guessed he had still been scolded by his grandfather. 

With both hands pressed against Ellsworth’s chest, Harriet was 

about to push him away when Ellsworth suddenly rested his 

chin on her shoulder and said softly, “It’s not what you think 

between me and Kelsey.” 

After a pause, he added, “I owe the Graham family some 

favors.” 

Hearing Ellsworth’s explanation, Harriet was silent for a while before saying, “Ellsworth, there were already problems between 

us long before Kelsey came back.” 

Listening to Harriet, Ellsworth kissed her cheek, his voice gentle 

and a little tired. “Then let’s start over.” 

Start over? 

She had tried for three years, been disappointed for three years, and now she was physically and mentally exhausted, deeply depressed. How could she start over? 

Chapter187 

She no longer had the energy for relationships, nor did she want 

to start anything anew. She just wanted to empty her mind, to 

live a simpler, quieter life. 

She didn’t want to be disturbed by messy, chaotic things 

anymore. 

She was tired. She didn’t want to try anymore. 

Without agreeing to Ellsworth, Harriet said quietly, “Ellsworth, I 

can’t go back.” 

Ellsworth smiled. “How do you know if you don’t try?” 

She didn’t say anything more to Ellsworth. She was just so tired, wanting nothing more than a good night’s sleep, to focus on her 

work, and to see her product launched as soon as possible. 

After being held by Ellsworth for a while, Harriet finally pulled 

herself out of his arms. 

Watching Harriet return to her room, Ellsworth felt unusually 

calm.
