Chapter 1201 What If Mr. Harding Had An Affair
“Shut up!”
Garrett cut Kailee off sharply and forcefully pulled her aside.
Ian furrowed his brow and watched the departing figures of Kailee and Garrett, sensing that something wasn’t quite right.
Despite not having seen the photos on Kailee’s phone, Ian had a sense that something was amiss based on Garrett’s fearful reaction. He suspected that the situation was difficult to deal with and could possibly hurt Laney.
Ian’s mind was clouded with uncertainty. He wasn’t sure if he should tell Laney about his suspicions.
Ian found himself in a difficult situation. He knew that keeping the truth from Laney could potentially harm her, but he also didn’t want to hurt her feelings by revealing what he suspected. Ian weighed his options carefully, trying to figure out what was the best course of action for everyone involved.
Ian remained indecisive about whether to inform Laney of his suspicion after he returned to the ward.
“Ian?” Laney motioned her hand in front of Ian and inquired, “Why are you so distracted? Is something troubling you?”
Ian snapped out of his thoughts and met Laney s worried gaze.
He didn’t want to hurt Laney by telling her the truth, but at the same time, he knew that hiding it from her could also cause harm in the future. Laney smiled at him and asked, “What happened? Where is Garrett?”
“Mr. Harding…” Ian’s gaze fell downward, unable to meet Laney’s innocent eyes. After all, he didn’t want to say anything that might cause her pain.
Laney clapped her hands and inquired, “Did you and Garrett have an argument?”
Garrett had a clear dislike towards Ian and made it evident through his actions, which Laney had noticed for a while. However, Laney found herself in a difficult position and didn’t know how to improve their relationship.
Ian hesitated for a few seconds and muttered, “Mrs. Harding, if… I mean, hypothetically speaking, if Mr. Harding were to have an affair, would that make you very upset?”
Laney’s face froze and her eyes widened in shock as she didn’t expect Ian to say something like that to her.
An awkward silence descended upon the ward. Laney broke the prolonged silence, speaking at a deliberate pace. “Ian, I’m not sure why you ask this question, but I have faith that Garrett would never do something like that.” Downcast and depressed, Ian found it hard to utter a word. “Mrs. Harding…”
Laney maintained a firm expression and spoke with assurance. “Garrett may be immature, but he is not a bad person. Despite the significant disparity in our social status, he has remained devoted and considerate to me ever since we got married. I trust that he would never be unfaithful. Ian, I’m aware that Garrett hasn’t been treating you well lately. That’s entirely his responsibility.” Laney offered a regretful smile and continued, “You are an exceptional and competent personal assistant. I will have a frank conversation with Garrett and urge him to let go of his biases.”
Ian hung his head, declining to speak any further. In essence, he was even more uncertain about how to confess the truth to Laney.
Laney had complete faith in Garrett. If Garrett were to betray her trust, it would deal a devastating blow to her.
How could he muster the courage to tell her that?
Just as Ian found himself caught in a quandary, his phone unexpectedly began to ring. The caller was Janet.
“Pardon me, would it be alright if I answer the phone?” Ian asked politely.
Upon receiving Laney’s consent, he stepped outside to take the call.
“Ian, I was occupied with work and didn’t hear my phone ring. Is everything alright?”
Janet sounded perplexed as she inquired over the phone. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Following a brief pause, Ian ultimately resolved to disclose Garrett’s unusual behavior to Janet. As Laney’s closest confidante and Ian’s employer, he trusted that Janet would be able to uncover the truth.
