Craving 188

Chapter188 

Whether it was Sylvia or Kelsey, the person in his heart, that was all in the past. The reality, the present, was that he and Harriet 

were husband and wife. 

*** 

Back in her bedroom, after showering, Harriet told Kathie about 

what had just happened. 

On the other end of the phone, Kathie, hearing about Ellsworth’s maneuver, immediately raised her voice, slapped the table, and said, “No wonder he’s Ells–he’s really something, really 

shameless. Hara, go head–to–head with him, don’t back down!” 

… 

Harriet. 

That afternoon at the Townsend’s mansion, who was it holding her in sadness, who was it pleading on Ellsworth’s behalf, asking if she could give him another chance? 

And now, with Ellsworth acting shameless, Kathie was telling 

her to fight to the end. 

After a moment of silence, Harriet said, “Your whole family 

Chapter188 

really is rebellious.” 

After that, she chatted with Kathie for a while longer before they 

finally hung up to rest. 

The next day, when she got to work, the lawyer contacted her 

early in the morning, saying there were a few documents that 

needed her signature. 

If Ellsworth wanted to handle it, Harriet would just let him. 

After all, she wasn’t losing out on this. 

If she didn’t go along with Ellsworth, he would just keep 

pestering her. 

So she arranged a time with the lawyer and let them come over. 

By Thursday, after finishing an early shift, she quietly moved out 

of Auburn Heights. 

She didn’t inform Ellsworth, nor did she say anything to 

Jacquelyn and the others. 

After all, during this period, she was coming and going early and late every day, never running into Ellsworth or Jacquelyn and 

the others. 

Chapter188 

Kathie didn’t say a word about it either. The two of them 

secretly settled the housing arrangements without alerting 

anyone. 

That night, when Ellsworth returned home after a social engagement and saw that Harriet hadn’t come back, he just 

stood at her door. 

Staring at Harriet’s room for a long while, Ellsworth took out his 

phone and dialed her number. 

As the phone rang, he gently closed her door and unhurriedly 

walked back to his own room. 

On Harriet’s end, she had just come out of the bathroom after a 

shower when she heard her phone vibrating. 

With a towel wrapped around her hair, she hurried over to pick 

up her phone. 

However, when she saw it was a call from Ellsworth, her 

expression calmed, and she was no longer flustered. 

Even so, she still answered the call in the end, asking gently, “Is 

there something you need?” 

On the other end, hearing Harriet’s pleasant voice, Ellsworth 

Chapter188 

walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, picked up a cigarette box from the cabinet beside him, and shook out a cigarette, biting it between his lips. 

Then he put down the cigarette box, picked up a lighter, and lit 

the cigarette for himself. 

He took a deep drag, exhaled a faint ring of smoke, and said, 

“Still working overtime?” 

At that moment, Harriet’s calm and steady voice came through: 

“I’ve moved out.” 

The next second, Ellsworth’s hand froze mid–smoke, his fingers 

holding the cigarette, his right hand pausing just short of his 

mouth. 

He was stunned for a long while before coming back to himself, 

then stubbed out the cigarette he’d just taken a drag from in 

the ashtray. 

He no longer felt like smoking. 

The nearly new cigarette was broken into several pieces in the ashtray. Ellsworth switched his phone to his right hand, stuffed his left hand back into his pocket, and looked out at the yard 

with a cold expression. 

Chapter188 

On the other end of the line, seeing that Ellsworth hadn’t 

responded for a long time, Harriet was about to say she’d hang up when Ellsworth, looking out at the yard, smiled nonchalantly 

and said, “Congratulations on your new place.” 

Then, still smiling, he added, “What’s the address? I’ll come over 

and help you celebrate your housewarming.” 

Ellsworth, after all that silence, wasn’t throwing a tantrum but 

was even joking about helping her celebrate. Harriet was a little 

surprised. 

She had been prepared for him to make a fuss about it. 

Maybe he had never wanted to live with her in the first place, 

and it was she who had been clinging to Auburn Heights all this 

time. 

Walking to the window with the phone, Harriet crossed her left 

arm over her chest and looked down at the night view outside. 

She said, “Thank you, but there’s no need to celebrate.” 

Harriet’s nonchalance made Ellsworth want to get angry, to say 

that they weren’t even divorced yet. 

But thinking about how much they’d argued over the divorce. lately, he adjusted his emotions. 

Chapter188 

Harriet was now single–mindedly focused on getting divorced. 

Maybe living apart for a while would be better.
