Craving 190

Chapter190 

At the meeting table, Ellsworth and Harriet sat facing each 

other, their gazes seemingly casual, but Ellsworth looked at 

Harriet with a bold, unrestrained stare. 

Especially when Harriet was speaking, he watched her all the 

more intently. 

A little after eleven, the meeting ended. 

Reginald said that since they finished early today, he wouldn’t order boxed lunches for everyone. Instead, he had Grayson 

arrange a table at a restaurant. 

He called Jonas and several other project team members, 

including Harriet, to join. 

This way, if any work issues came up, it would be easier to 

discuss them. 

While Harriet was waiting for Jonas and the others at the door, 

Ellsworth’s car arrived first. 

The car window rolled down, and before Ellsworth could say 

anything, Harriet spoke first. 

Chapter190 

She said, “Mr. Zuniga’s car is right behind.” 

With both hands on the steering wheel, Ellsworth smiled lightly. “Come on, you’ve only moved out for a few days, and after just a few days apart you’re already acting so distant? Get in the 

car.” 

Listening to Ellsworth, Harriet turned to look behind her. Seeing 

that Jonas and the others hadn’t arrived yet, she finally got into 

the car. 

The back door of the vehicle was locked, so she sat in the front 

passenger seat. 

Clearly… Ellsworth had come prepared. 

The car door closed softly. Harriet fastened her seatbelt, and 

the vehicle slowly started moving. 

Turning the steering wheel to the left and merging onto the road, Ellsworth glanced at Harriet and lazily asked, “Moved out 

and living on your own–feeling better now?” 

“Yeah,” Harriet nodded. “Much better.”

… 

Ellsworth said, “Just let your mood run its course for a few 

days. Auburn Heights is so comfortable to live in.” 

Chapter190 

In terms of environment, Auburn Heights was nestled between 

mountains and water–undoubtedly a comfortable place. 

But whether life was truly comfortable depended on who you 

spent it with; it wasn’t just about the place. 

However, hearing Ellsworth suggest she return to Auburn 

Heights, Harriet turned her face to the window and said nothing 

more. 

After all the effort it took to move out, she wasn’t going back. 

Before long, the Maybach stopped in the restaurant’s outdoor 

parking lot. After getting out, the two of them headed straight 

to the private room Grayson had reserved. 

Walking into the restaurant lobby and taking the elevator 

upstairs, Harriet kept her arms crossed tightly in front of her 

chest. 

Her posture was a bit defensive. 

It was as if… she was alone, with Ellsworth not by her side. 

When they entered the private room, no one else had arrived 

yet. Grayson went ahead to order the dishes. 

Chapter190 

Seeing this, Harriet chose a seat near the door, sat down, and 

started reading the news on her phone. 

Ellsworth sat down to her right. 

No sooner had he sat down than his phone rang. 

It was a work call from Darrick. He got up and walked over to 

the window to answer it. 

Five or six minutes later, Ellsworth finished the call and returned 

to sit beside Harriet. Jonas and several other project investors 

arrived. 

As they entered the private room and saw such a big boss like 

Ellsworth sitting at the edge of the table, they exclaimed in 

surprise and excitement, “Mr. Townsend, why are you sitting 

here? You should take the main seat! Otherwise, how could we 

dare to sit?” 

“Mr. Townsend, please move over and take the main seat.” 

As they spoke, several people hurried to pull out the chair at the 

head of the table for Ellsworth, and two others tried to guide 

him to the main seat. 

Seeing everyone’s politeness, Ellsworth quickly gestured for 

Chapter190 

them to stop, smiling as he said, “Just sit wherever you like, 

need to stand on ceremony. I’m sitting here to keep my wife 

company.” 

Keep his wife company? 

Everyone glanced around. 

no 

At the moment, aside from Harriet, there were no other women 

in the private room. 

And Ellsworth was sitting right next to Harriet. 

For a moment, everyone suddenly understood. 

“So Ms. Chavez is Mr. Townsend’s wife! I thought so–during the 

meeting earlier, you two looked like a perfect match. Turns out 

you really are married.” 

“Congratulations, Mr. Townsend, for finding such an 

outstanding and beautiful wife.” 

“Ms. Chavez, you’re so low–key, and so young and 

accomplished! I heard you joined the project team with your 

own patent.” 

“Jonas, that’s not fair–you didn’t tell us in advance!” 

Chapter 190 

Everyone praised how well–matched Ellsworth and Harriet were, saying they were a talented and beautiful couple. Ellsworth smiled and thanked them, then urged everyone not to be so 

formal and to just sit wherever they liked. 

Off to the side, watching the investors flatter Ellsworth, Harriet said nothing. She simply put away her phone to avoid seeming 

impolite.
