Chapter 1445

[ 575 words ]

“I’ll go back and cooperate with you regarding Grandma, but as for the divorce…”

Harold paused for a moment before asking in a deep voice, “Can you wait two months?”

Joel had stayed abroad for three years without returning. What was another two months?

The girl he supposedly liked got married, and he hadn’t reacted at all.

Shouldn’t he have come rushing back to crash the wedding?

A spineless coward like that he had no idea what Lorelei saw in him.

She waited for him for three years, so what was making him wait another two months?

Besides—

Did he ever say he was going to let her go?

“I can wait.” Lorelei nodded gently, her watery eyes fixed on him. “As long as it definitely doesn’t affect your work.”

“How thoughtful of you.”

Harold gave her a long, deep look. He stood up, took the bowl from her hands, and said expressionlessly, “Take your medicine.”

“Oh.” Lorelei stared at his retreating back, answering softly.

“Also-” Harold pulled the door open, then suddenly turned around. “The two candies on the table are for you.”

For her?

By the time her confusion settled, Harold was already gone, leaving the room in total silence.

Looking at the candies on the table, Lorelei felt a mess of emotions.

She thought they belonged to his first love.

Were they not?

At the Cloudscape Community.

Today was the Blackwood family’s monthly family gathering day.

From the moment he walked in, Harold kept checking his phone, completely distracted.

“What are you looking at, Harold?”

Melvin leaned over curiously, his eyes glued to the screen, trying to figure out what was going on.

“Nothing.”

Harold turned the screen off and slipped the phone into his suit pocket, a hint of restlessness in his eyes.

Lorelei had just arrived in Eclara City. She didn’t know anyone in his family, and she had a sprained ankle.

It wasn’t a good time for them to meet.

He would introduce her when the timing was right.

Moreover.

Given how desperate she was for a divorce, she probably wouldn’t want to meet them anyway.

“Something’s up.”

Melvin studied Harold with intense curiosity, lowering his voice. “Harold, you aren’t missing a woman, you?”

Just like him.

He thought about Janet every day and checked his phone eight hundred times.

Nailed right on his secret, Harold scowled. Just as he was about to retort.

Melvin added, “Damn! Isn’t Lorelei in Australis?”

“Harold, you wouldn’t be having an affair, would you?”

Harold was utterly speechless. He genuinely wanted to stuff a sandwich in his mouth to shut him up.

“Harold, our family has strong values, you can’t do something so immoral.”

“You ate so little. Are you feeling unwell?” Theia looked at him with concern.

Harold had never left a family gathering early before.

Plus, he had been completely out of it all day.

“I’m fine,” Harold wiped his mouth and looked at everyone. “Let’s get together another time.”

Leaving those words behind.

Harold grabbed his jacket and strode out briskly.

“What’s going on with him?”

Theia gripped her silverware, completely baffled.

Juniper chewed on a chicken wing, watching the direction Harold had left, her brow furrowed.

He was definitely acting strange.

“I know.” Melvin set his silverware down, his tone heavy.

Everyone turned in unison, waiting for him to continue.

“Harold…”

Melvin hesitated, but finally spilled it. “He might be having an affair.”

Even though he had never met Lorelei, his moral compass wouldn’t let him sit by

and do nothing.

What?

An affair?

The whole table was stunned.
