Chapter 1300 The Real Husband


    The man following them was Garrett, who was supposedly in Barnes. Evan, his assistant, was with


    him. The two peeked behind the shelves, keeping a safe but close enough distance from Laney.


    Seeing Laney andnughing and chatting made Garrett’s blood boil. “This bastard has some fucking


    nerve to try and seduce my wife while I’m not around. I’ll kill him!”


    He had already unbuttoned his cuffs, rolling up the sleeves and heading straight to Ian.


    Evan pulled him back from his blind rage. “Boss, don’t forget the n. We’re here to keep watch over


    Mrs. Harding. If you go out now, we’ll be discovered,” the assistant reasoned.


    Evan’s persuasion did little to quell Garrett’s fury. Still seething, he gritted his teeth and snapped,


    “What’s the point of it now? Look at him! He’s doing as he pleases. Anyone who sees them together


    would naturally assume that he’s Laney’s husband! Even my daughter has almost recognized him as


    her father. He’s taking my family away from me, and you’re telling me to just keep watching?” The


    thinly-veiled hurt that bled out of his voice struck Evan, catching him off-guard. ninjanovel For a


    moment, he was speechless, but he quickly recovered and went straight to trying to convince Garrett


    again.


    “You have to bear it for now. If you mess things up here, you’ll lose a lot more. Boss, you came here to


    make up with your wife. Letting your anger get the best of you would just jeopardize your chances.”


    That finally seemed to get through to Garrett. His body rxed, losing some of its tension.


    Evan was right. He had no right to demand anything when it was his own fault things became this way.


    He had many things to atone for, and he was a long way from getting back Laney’s love. Still, it didn’t


    change the fact that he was pissed. His wife was here, smiling at another man while he hid like some


    damned coward.


    “What the hell should I do then? I have to do something. I can’t just stand here while that bastard steals


    her away.”


    Garrett felt like a fish out of water. He had never had any problems with women.


    If anything, they were the ones who kept flocking to him. He didn’t have to lift a finger to get a woman


    to sumb to him.


    But this was an entirely different thing. He had angered his wife, and nothing he did worked to earn her


    forgiveness. And now he was forced to watch as some bastard tried to flirt with Laney right in front of


    him. No man would be able to stay calm in this situation.


    Apart from that, something in his gut told him it had been Jan who had sent the divorce agreement and


    the wedding ring to him. It told Garrett everything he needed to know. That man had impure motives


    towards Laney.


    This realization made him feel all the more restless.


    Meanwhile, Evan’s eyes were furrowed in deep thought, trying toe up with a n.


    The loud p beside him made him jolt. Garrett had pped his hands together and said, “Evan, go


    rent a house next to Laney’s. This is not going to be an easy and quick battle by any means, and I’m


    staying here for as long as it takes to win her back.” Evan’s face fell at his boss’ directive. “Boss, you


    still have the Harding Group to think of. Thepany wouldn’t function without you,” he reminded


    Garrett.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Garrett answered with a re that radiated menace, “My wife is about to leave me, and you want me to


    think of the Harding Group? Getting Laney and my daughter back is my top pnority. To hell with


    anything else.”


    As they two talked, Laney andn were almost done with shopping.


    Garrett rushed to the register to carry out his n.


    “Here is thirty grands,” he said as he pulled out a check and handed it to the cashier. “Could you please


    tell thedy with the child that they won a promo and everything they’re buying today is free of charge?”


    The cashier shot him with a stern look and refused, “I’m sorry, I can’t ept this check. I have no


    guarantee that this isn’t fake.” Garrett’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he pushed the check nearer the


    reluctant staff’s face. “Look closely. It’s from the Harding Group. This is 100% a legitimate check, I can


    assure you.” Hesitantly, the cashier took the check and found no anomalies. It seemed to be genuine.


    However, she didn’t take her chances and remained skeptical. “Why are you doing this? Thedy that


    you’ve pointed out looks like she’s married. You’re not trying to get between her and her husband, are


    you?”


    Garrett couldn’t almost believe his ears. He was so angry that his face twisted into harsh lines before


    he burst out, “That bastard is by no means her husband! I’m her real husband! Alright?”


    The cashier looked at Garrett with even more suspicion in her eyes.


    Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down and began to plead, “I’m telling the truth. I’m her


    husband. But the two of us fought, and she left our home with our child. She probably wouldn’t ept


    anything from me if I gave it to her myself, so I had no choice but to try this.”


    As he finished speaking, he took out a photo of himself and Laney, showing it to the cashier.


    The cashier finally believed him after seeing proof. She let out a sigh and said, “Alright. I’ll help you


    out.”
