    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.”

    Chapter196

    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.
