Chapter48 Chapter48 Then, the main light was switched on, flooding the room with brightness. Ellsworth glanced at Harriet on the bed, then unbuttoned his shirt, grabbed a change of clothes from the wardrobe, and went into the bathroom. A moment passed. After showering, Ellsworth came out of the bathroom to find Harriet had rolled over and was occupying his usual side of the bed. Used to sleeping on the right, Ellsworth dried his hair, tossed the towel aside, walked over, and bent down to pick Harriet up. He held her gently, and put her down just as gently. Even so, Harriet was startled awake, She opened her eyes, but the light was too harsh, so she quickly closed them again. Her brows furrowed tightly. Chapter 48 After a while, she opened her eyes to a narrow slit and saw Ellsworth right in front of her. Half asleep, Harriet smiled at him and said, "You're back." She had thought that with Patsy gone, Ellsworth wouldn't come back anymore. Seeing Harriet's sleepy smile, Ellsworth felt an unexpected warmth. He didn't get up right away. Instead, he bent over and looked at Harriet, responding softly, "Mm." The light was glaring. Harriet didn't fully open her eyes. Drowsily, she looked at Ellsworth and said lazily, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed now. Ellsworth, good night." As soon as Harriet finished speaking, Ellsworth smiled and replied gently, "Good night." After that, he reached up to turn off the main light in the room and returned to his own side of the bed. For the next two days, although Ellsworth came home late, at least he was home every night. Chapter 48 But whether he came home or not didn't seem to matter much anymore. She went about her work as usual, had dinner with her grandfather at the Chavez's mansion as usual, and after finishing everything, Harriet would study her field at night, preparing for a new job. By Tuesday at noon, the day before the business exchange, Jolene had arranged all the travel plans, and Harriet set off for the resort with Jolene. In the days leading up to the conference, Harriet saw Ellsworth a few times, but he never asked about the meeting or suggested they go together. So Harriet didn't bring it up either. Kathie didn't go this time; she stayed home with Kenneth. At four in the afternoon, their flight arrived on time. Harriet and Jolene took a business car to the hotel, and as they were picking up their room cards at the front desk, they saw a lively group chatting in the hotel lobby to the right. The hotel was very quiet, so the group's excitement was particularly noticeable. Chapter49 Taking the room card from the front desk staff, Harriet listened to the laughter and chatter from that direction and instinctively turned to look. "Kelsey, you came back so low-key this time. Except for Mr. Townsend, you won't see anyone, and no one can get an appointment with you." "Kelsey, it's been years, and you just keep getting prettier and more elegant." "Kel, this time you and Ells will finally make it official, right? We hope to drink at your wedding soon." "Kel, now that you're back, don't leave again. Your dad's company needs your help too." In the crowd, Kelsey was the center of attention, surrounded by men and women who greeted her warmly, welcomed her, and offered blessings for her relationship with Ellsworth, asking for wedding wine. Not a single person mentioned Harriet. It was as if… she had never existed. She was not Ellsworth's wife. Off to the side, Ellsworth was dressed in a white shirt and black Chapter4h suit, looking very distinguished With both hands in his trouser pockets, he looked down at Kelsey, his eyes full of calm tenderness. He had never looked at Harriet with such eyes-not even when he asked her to have a child. Listening to everyone's questions, Kelsey smiled and said, "There's a lot to do now that I'm back. Tonight, let me treat everyone to dinner, okay? And this time, I'm not leaving. We'll be able to get together often from now on." At this point, Kelsey turned to look at Ellsworth and said with a smile, "As for the wedding wine between me and Ells, that depends on Ells." After Kelsey spoke, everyone looked at Ellsworth and urged him, "Ellsworth, hurry up! We're all waiting for the wedding." "Ells, after so many years with Kel, it's time for a result. We've all got our red envelopes ready." Ellsworth still had his hands in his pockets, his nose straight and his profile especially handsome. Listening to everyone's urging, he just smiled and said nothing. Chapter48 At that moment, the people around him started to tease, "Ellsworth, if you don't say anything, that means you agree!"
