Hearing Kelsey’s question, Ellsworth finally looked up again.

Looking at the face that was almost identical to Sylvia’s, seeing

her gazing at him with concern, he said calmly, “You’re

overthinking it.”

Although they were twins and looked almost identical, their

personalities were very different.

Sylvia was humble, not showy, quiet, and gentle.

The first time he sat with her, the first time he talked to her, she

reminded him of Harriet, as if she was a bit like motherless

Harriet, only Harriet was younger.

Ellsworth didn’t admit to disliking her, so Kelsey breathed a sigh

of relief, reached out and grabbed his hand, saying with relief, “Ells, you almost scared me to death just now.”

Ellsworth picked up the documents, and Kelsey’s hand naturally

slipped away from his.

At this point, Kelsey sensibly withdrew her hand and smiled at him, saying, “Let’s have dinner tonight.”

Ellsworth said, “I don’t have time.”

Kelsey pouted, “I’ll wait for you. We can go after you’re done.

That restaurant is open until midnight.”

Ellsworth continued flipping through the documents without

saying a word.

Later, while Kelsey was waiting for him, he told her that aside

from business help, he wouldn’t give the Graham family

anything else.

Kelsey smiled and said it didn’t matter, that she was already

satisfied if she could asionally look after him for Sylvia, and

Even though she had long hoped for his divorce.

But with Harriet’s push–and–pull tactics, if she pressed him too

hard about it, it would only push him toward Harriet.

She wouldn’t do something so foolish.

If Harriet could act, so could she.

After hearing this, Ellsworth said nothing more and simply

continued working.

Six o’clock.

After finishing her thoughts for the thesis, Harriet stretched and

took a break. Seeing that it was still early and the sun hadn’t

drove back to the Chavez’s mansion to have dinner with her

grandfather.

When she got home, Ralph was ying chess in the living room

with the old man from next door.

Seeing Harriet return, Ralph quickly waved her over: “Hara,

“Grandpa, Luciano.” Harriet greeted them with a smile as she

put the fruit and pastries she brought on the table, then sat

down in Ralph’s seat.

However, the game Ralph and Luciano hadn’t finished was already a dead end for the ck pieces, but Harriet managed to turn things around in just a few moves.

After a few more rounds, the old man from next door still

couldn’t beat Harriet. He stood up and said, “Hara, Luciano’s

Chapter196

brain is overworked today. Don’t go home tonight. Grandpa will

dinner.”

Hearing this, Harriet quickly got up to see him off, smiling as

she said, “Alright, Luciano. I’ll wait for you toe over

tomorrow.”

After seeing the old man off, Deloris called the grandfather and

granddaughter to dinner.

At the dinner table, Delorisined to Harriet, “Sir Chavez,

honestly! It’s just a game of chess. If you lose, you lose. Why

get so worked up? Your hand was shaking from anger.”

Ralph quickly defended himself, “I wasn’t angry. I just sat for

too long.”

Seeing this, Harriet served Ralph some food and said, “Don’t

y chess for too long in the future. You’re both getting older-

health is the most important thing.”

Hearing Harriet’s words, Ralph picked up his fork and looked at

her, saying, “It’s not a big deal for me. But you, Hara–you bought

a house without saying a word, moved out of Auburn Heights

without a word, and I had to hear about it from Raymond.”

Harriet smiled and exined, “I just wanted to have my own

space.”

“So what’s going on with you and Ells now? Living separately?

Not getting divorced anymore?”

“Ellsworth is already handling the property division. Let him take

care of it for now. In a few days, we can submit the application. We’ll talk about everything else after the paperwork is done.”

Since the assets were being divided, Ellsworth must have

decided to split up, just annoyed that she was the one who

brought up divorce first.

If she disappeared for a few days, once he calmed down, his

anger would subside.

After all, he still had to give Kelsey a proper status.

After talking about the property division at the Townsend’s

mansion, Ellsworth’swyer came to see her on Wednesday.

The property division procedures were alreadypleted.

They brought Harriet’s property deed, share certificates, proof of fund transfers, trust fund documents, and other paperwork

for her to review.

Then, she had to sign the documents.
