Chapter 1302 Who Sent The Divorce Agreement
Upon seeing Laney's face contort as if she were scrutinizing a freak, Garrett hastily clarified, "I didn't follow you. I just happened to see you and the baby when I came here. Unsure of how to approach you, I only dared to trail you in silence."
Laney's expression remained unreadable as she inquired, "Did you ask the cashier to comp our purchase?"
"I just wanted to take care of you," Garrett admitted, a hint of worry in his voice. "I feared you wouldn't accept my money..."
After a few seconds of contemplative silence, Laney decided to disregard him.
She addressed the cashier icily, "I'll pay for it myself."
"But..." The cashier, noting the pitiable look on Garrett's face, attempted to vouch for him. "Your husband meant well. If you two are having a disagreement..."
"I'll pay!" Laney's voice cut through the air like a shard of ice.
"Okay!" The cashier hastily accepted her money.
Having settled the bill, Laney pushed the stroller out of the store without so much as a backward glance.
She hadn't forgiven Garrett, let alone allowed herself to converse with him calmly.
As Laney strode away with resolve, Garrett stood rooted in shock.
He shook off his stupor after a few seconds and made to follow her, only to be intercepted by Ian.
"What are you doing?" Garrett shoved Ian aside impatiently. "Out of my way!"
Ian spoke evenly. "Mr. Harding, since Mrs. Harding doesn't wish to see you, it would be best not to disturb her."
Garrett snorted, as if he'd just heard the most ridiculous joke. "I'm her husband. It's none of your concern whether I seek out my wife and child. Don't forget..."
He jabbed a finger into Ian's chest arrogantly. "You're merely an assistant. This isn't your concern." Ian nodded and replied, "Indeed, I am an assistant, and it's my responsibility to resolve issues for my employer."
A sinister glint in his eyes, Garrett questioned, "So, are you implying that resolving issues for your employer includes sending fake divorce papers and forged wedding rings?"
Ian hesitated for a moment before looking up with a calm smile. "Mr. Harding, I don't know what you're talking about. I serve Mrs. Harding and only act in the best interest of her and her daughter. You, however, are not my concern."
Hearing this, Garrett's fury mounted. Seizing Ian's collar, his eyes burning with rage, he demanded, "Tell me! Did you send the divorce agreement and the wedding ring?"
Ian regarded him indifferently and countered, "Do you have any evidence?"
Garrett sneered in anger, "Do I need evidence? You're the only one with access to Laney and the time to acquire her ring to fabricate it. Can you honestly say you didn't do it?"
Ian's lips curled into a sneer. "Without evidence, no one can make such accusations. Mr. Harding, casting baseless aspersions will only push Mrs. Harding further away."
Garrett's fury reached a boiling point, and he raised
his fist, intent on teaching Ian a lesson.
Seeing the imminent altercation, Evan rushed forward in an attempt to intervene.
Sensing something amiss, Laney quickly wheeled her baby back to investigate the situation. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon her return, she was greeted by the sight of Garrett and Ian grappling near the store entrance.
Moments later, Ian found himself sprawled on the ground, a scrape marring his arm.
While Garrett loomed above, fist raised in triumph. "Garrett!" Laney cried out, incredulous, "How could you hit him?"
Garrett's head snapped in her direction, his eyes locking onto the disappointment etched across Laney's face.
