After hearing that, Noel turned around and gave Ellsworth an
awkward smile. “Mr. Townsend, I didn’t do my job well. I’ll
reflect on it, I will.”
After Noel finished, Ellsworth ignored the front and simply
pulled Harriet into his lap.
Startled, Harriet turned to him. “Ellsworth, what are you doing?”
Ellsworth calmly reminded her, “You dare sleep at this temperature? Do you think you’re that healthy? Haven’t you
been sick enough?”
The back seat was spacious, and Ellsworth didn’t feel crowded
at all holding Harriet in his arms.
“Then have George stop the car so I can get my clothes from
the trunk.” Harriet said as she struggled a bit, but couldn’t break
free.
At that, George immediately looked at Noel, who whispered, “Why are you looking at me? Did Mr. Townsend say anything?”
The driver said, “Got it, got it, I understand.”

After saying that, he even turned the air conditioning down another notch.
In the back seat, Harriet struggled again but couldn’t get free from Ellsworth’s hold. She simply gave up, turned her face to the window, and ignored him.
At 1.65 meters, Harriet looked quite petite in Ellsworth’s 1.88-
meter-tall embrace.
With his arms around her waist and seeing that Harriet had stopped struggling, Ellsworth rested his chin on her shoulder
and took a short break as well.
In this position, both of them felt quite comfortable.
The car got onto the overpass, and the scenery and buildings outside flashed by quickly.
Looking down at Harriet, Ellsworth suddenly leaned in close to her ear and asked softly, “Harriet, are you jealous of Kelsey?”
Ellsworth’s question made Harriet fall into deep thought.
Still wearing her eye mask, Harriet thought for a long while before she finally spoke softly in his arms: “Ellsworth, don’t worry, I…”
Chapterth
Sensing that what Harriet was about to say wouldn’t be pleasant, Ellsworth didn’t wait for her to finish. He raised his hand and pinched her lips. “No need to answer. Go back to sleep.”
After Ellsworth spoke, Harriet removed his hand from her mouth. She didn’t take off her eye mask, nor did she say anything more to him.
Jealous?
Over the past three years, Ellsworth had countless rumored girlfriends, with new incidents cropping up every now and then.
At first, she would feel sad, unable to understand why he was that kind of person.
Later, as more and more women came to her door, even asking her to handle the aftermath, she became numb.
So much so that when Kelsey came back this time, she didn’t feel much-she just thought, let it be.
It ends here.
Harriet nestled silently in his arms, and all Ellsworth could think of was her tolerance-no normal wife could be more tolerant

than her.
With a smile, his hand around her waist, Ellsworth gently
stroked her arm with his fingers.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, just as the plane landed, Patsy called,
She said, “Hara, have you and Ells arrived at the airport yet?”
Harriet answered the call with one hand while pushing her suitcase with the other. “Mom, we just got off the plane.”
Patsy: “Then come home for dinner tonight. Ken is going back to the army the day after tomorrow. Let’s have a family dinner
together.”
Harriet: “Okay, Mom.”
After hanging up with Patsy, Harriet turned to Ellsworth and
said gently, “Mom wants us to go back to the Townsend’s
mansion for dinner. She said Ken is going back to the army the
day after tomorrow.”
“Mm.” Ellsworth responded to Harriet and casually took her
suitcase from her.
The two walked side by side in front, with Noel and George following closely behind, pushing the rest of the luggage.
By the time George dropped Ellsworth and Harriet off at the Townsend’s mansion after leaving the airport, it was already 7
p.m.
It was already dark outside.
“Hara, Ells.”
“You’re back.”
“Hara and Ells are back.” After Kathie and Ellsworth greeted them, Raymond and Tamera also said hello.
“The young couple is back.”
At this time, there were some other elders at home as well, all
there to see Kenneth, since he hadn’t been back much in recent
years.
“Kat, Ken.”
“Grandpa, Grandma, Second Aunt, Second Uncle.”
After politely greeting everyone, Harriet sat down with Kathie to
chat and watch TV together.
Chapteren
Ellsworth, on the other hand, was accompanying Raymond, Ken, and the elders, while Patsy helped out in the kitchen.
Except for the New Year, the Townsend’s mansion was rarely this lively, and in the past two years, Kenneth hadn’t come home
for Christmas either.
The two girls squeezed together on the sofa. Kathie munched on snacks and whispered, “Ells hasn’t bullied you, has he?”
Harriet shook her head. “No.”
They chatted idly. When Patsy called everyone for dinner, the group got up and went to the dining room.
