Chapter 1306 Impulsive For Love


    Ian 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, "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 red 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 exin, "I just want to..."


    Laney hesitated, shook off his grip, and disappeared into the room without a backward nce.


    Garrett yearned to follow her, but Ian blocked the doorway. He then nonchntly said, "Mr. Harding,


    it''s best that you not to enter someone else''s house without the owner''s permission."


    Eyes zing, Garrett red at Ian.


    Unfazed, Ian 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 exined her emotions towards Ian or be incensed at his neglect of their child


    otherwise.


    His mission was to reim her affections before they waned entirely.


    As Garrett mulled over how to win Laney back, a call from J interrupted his thoughts.


    Upon answering, J inquired, "Did you go see Laney?"


    "Yes, I''m at her ce now. Your intel is impressive," Garrett replied, arching an eyebrow.


    J 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 thepany. I''ll remotely handle its


    affairs until Laney forgives me."


    J shook her head, smiling. "Your impulsive nature hasn''t changed a bit."
