Chapter 1306 Impulsive For Love

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

nighttime feedings and diaper changes. Mrs. Harding can’t handle it all by herself, so I’m staying here

to help. Rest assured, I mostly spend time with 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, ninjanovel.com “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 become incensed 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 Janet interrupted his thoughts.

Upon answering, Janet inquired, “Did you go see Laney?”

“Yes, I’m at her place now. Your intel is impressive,” Garrett replied, arching an eyebrow.

Janet rolled 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.” Janet shook her head, smiling. “Your impulsive nature hasn’t changed

a bit.”
