lan surreptitiously eavesdropped on the conversation between Laney and
Garrett from behind the door. Hearing Laney express gratitude rather than love towards him, disappointment washed over him.
Yet, he considered, gratitude was better than indifference. Perhaps it could blossom into love someday?
A glimmer of hope ignited within him. Purposefully, Ian emerged to not only interrupt Laney and Garrett’s dialogue but also to
sow misunderstanding.
As anticipated, Garrett’s eyes betrayed a flicker of pain when he caught sight of Ian.
With a sly smile, Ian drawled, “Mr. Harding, don’t misconstrue the situation. Anya is still young, needing nighttfeedings and
diaper changes. Mrs. Harding can’t handle it all by herself, so I’m staying here to help. Rest assured, I mostly spend twith

Anya.” “I didn’t say anything,” Garrett retorted, face flushing crimson. Despite his protest, he couldn’t suppress his discontent.
Muttering, he said, “There’s no reason for you to be with my daughter all the time.”
Hearing this, Laney scoffed, ninja“As a father, how often have you taken care of your daughter? You’re clueless about
her food or diapers. Ian has been a great caregiver. What’s your problem?” Chastised by Laney, Garrett found himself at a loss
for words. Laney glared icily at her husband, sneering, “Finish the investigation quickly and return to Barnes. We don’t need you
to cause any more trouble here, and I hope you won’t disrupt my life again.”
With that, she pivoted to leave.
Garrett, in a panic, grasped her wrist, attempting to explain, “I just want to...”
Laney hesitated, shook off his grip, and disappeared into the room without a backward glance.
Garrett yearned to follow her, but lan blocked the doorway. He then nonchalantly said, “Mr. Harding, it’s best that you not to enter
someone else’s house without the owner’s permission.” Eyes blazing, Garrett glared at lan.
Unfazed, lan smiled and closed the door.
Staring at the now-shut entrance, Garrett’s heart ached.
He was Laney’s husband, yet he couldn’t even step inside her home. Blocked by an assistant, he wasn’t even afforded the
dignity to be angry.

However, his sorrow didn’t extinguish his determination.
He gleaned from Laney’s demeanor that she still harbored feelings for him. She wouldn’t have seriously explained her emotions
towards lan or becincensed at his neglect of their child otherwise.
His mission was to reclaim her affections before they waned entirely.
As Garrett mulled over how to win Laney back, a call from Jinterrupted his thoughts.
Upon answering, Jinquired, “Did you go see Laney?”
“Yes, I’m at her place now. Your intel is impressive,” Garrett replied, arching an eyebrow.
Jrolled her eyes, retorting, “The whole of Barnes knows you ditched the Harding Group to chase after your wife in a
neighboring city. I’m the last to find out.”
Unfazed, Garrett countered, “My wife is more important than the company. I’ll remotely handle its affairs until Laney forgives me.”
Jshook her head, smiling. “Your impulsive nature hasn’t changed a bit.”
