Craving 32

 

Chapter32 

But… she no longer knew how to face Ellsworth, no longer 

knew how to get along with him. 

She had tried her best, really tried her best. 

The wind rustled the leaves outside. Harriet didn’t turn around, 

nor did she continue arguing with Ellsworth. 

She just stood there in silence, looking out at the yard. 

It wasn’t until she heard the door slam shut that her tears fell 

like rain, streaming down her face. 

With her arms wrapped tightly around herself, she turned 

around. Ellsworth was no longer in the bedroom. 

Looking at the doorway, she remembered how she and 

Ellsworth used to be so happy, how he had once risked everything to carry her out of a burning building. In that moment, Harriet broke down and sobbed uncontrollably. 

She had tried her best. She really had tried her best. 

She no longer knew what to do, truly didn’t know what to do

anymore. 

That night, Harriet didn’t go to bed. She sat on the sofa with her 

arms around herself for the entire night. 

The next morning, she stood in front of the mirror, her eyes 

swollen like walnuts. She applied ice for a long time before 

finally going downstairs. 

After getting herself together, she skipped breakfast, grabbed 

her bag and car keys, and had just reached the door when 

Ellsworth’s Maybach blocked her way. 

She stopped, watching as the car window rolled down. Harriet 

couldn’t bring herself to smile at him as if nothing had 

happened, nor could she greet him as casually as she used to. 

She forced a faint smile as a greeting, then turned and walked 

to the right. 

Today she wore a white business jacket and beige pants, her top 

tucked into her trousers, making her legs look even longer and 

her figure even better. 

She had barely taken a few steps when Ellsworth’s indifferent

voice came, “Ken is back. We’re having lunch at the Townsend’s 

mansion. Mom has already gone ahead.” 

After Ellsworth finished speaking, Harriet stopped in her 

tracks. 

She stood there for a while, then turned around. Ellsworth was 

still waiting for her. 

Harriet lowered her eyes and looked at him for a long moment, 

but in the end, she still walked over. 

They hadn’t finalized the divorce yet, so the act still had to go 

But this time, the back door of the car was open, and Ellsworth 

didn’t make her sit in the front anymore. 

After a moment, the car started. Ellsworth drove in silence, 

while Harriet turned her face away, gazing out the window the 

whole time. 

Halfway through the drive, Ellsworth glanced at Harriet in the 

rearview mirror. Thinking of her insistence on divorce, he 

called out, “Harriet.” 

Harriet quickly snapped out of her thoughts, turned to look at 

him, and said seriously, “Yes?” 

Harriet’s businesslike attitude instantly widened the distance. 

between them. 

Ellsworth immediately lost interest in discussing anything with 

her and said coldly, “It’s nothing.” 

“Oh,” Harriet replied blandly, withdrawing her gaze and 

looking out the window again. 

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Townsend’s 

mansion. After getting out, Ellsworth put his hands in his 

pockets and walked straight toward the yard. 

Harriet walked beside him. 

Once they entered the yard, Ellsworth slowed his pace, took his 

left hand out of his pocket, and casually took Harriet’s hand. 

Seeing this, Harriet turned to look at him. 

Ellsworth looked calm and unruffled, as if nothing had 

happened the night before. 

Harriet looked down at their joined hands, and when she saw 

the ring on his ring finger, she couldn’t help but smile.

It was a smile tinged with helplessness. 

The one who doesn’t care is always the winner. 

The yard was large; it took them two or three minutes to walk 

into the house. 

“Mr. Ellsworth, Mrs. Harriet Townsend.” 

“Mr. Ellsworth, Mrs. Harriet Townsend.” 

The servants greeted them with smiling faces. Harriet nodded 

and smiled in response, while Ellsworth looked lazy and 

couldn’t be bothered to reply. 

At that moment, Tamera came over from the backyard. Seeing 

Harriet had returned, Tamera beamed, “Hara is back.” 

Harriet smiled warmly and called out, “Grandma.” 

As soon as she got close to Harriet, Tamera took her hand and 

bent down to press her ear to Harriet’s belly. “Let Grandma 

listen quickly, let me hear if my great-grandchild is making any 

noise.” 

Chapter 32 

Looking down at Tamera, Harriet wore an awkward 

expression. 

She turned to look at Ellsworth, saw him walking away indifferently, then looked back at Tamera and said, 

embarrassed, “Grandma, not yet.” 

Hearing that there was still no news from Harriet’s belly, 

Tamera immediately looked disappointed. 

She straightened up, her brows furrowed, and looked directly 

at Ellsworth, asking, “Ells, how come Hara still hasn’t shown 

any signs after being married for so long?”
