"And she has a husband," added Harold between his teeth, ignoring what the other side of the way might mean. "Yes, my dear, I know he is not a nice man, but you are her only one, aren't you?" "Yes."
Now that he has fastened onto you there's only one way of making him lose his hold, by ignoring him. Despise him say nothing to him, don't answer his questions.

He fairly writhed in his seat and cowered away from Owen as from one who held a knife over his head. It was at this moment that Harry, looking from the hill, put away his binoculars and turned his car around.
