Chapter 165

Harriet pouted and looked aggrieved, “Humph! Delbert, | think Cory just doesn’t want me to cook in the kitchen. So, you won't be able to taste the lovingly prepared lunch boxes made by me in the future.

That’s your loss!”

Her coquettish tone and the way she leaned on his neck with delicate arms made Delbert feel as if he had been electrified.

Indeed, he could never resist Harriet’s teasing.

“Cory, you're overstepping your boundaries!”

Delbert coldly glared at Cory.

Cory had no choice but to explain to Harriet with a respectful expression, “Miss Harriet, | didn’t mean it that way. Whenever you want to go to the kitchen for artistic creation, | won’t stop you!”

“Humph! If you want me to go, | won't go!”

Harriet retorted, but her pouting always worked well on Delbert.

Delbert felt aroused all of a sudden.

He frowned as he ordered, “You can all leave now!”

After Cory and the servants left, Harriet suddenly saw a strikingly handsome face in front of her. She was slightly stunned and felt her ears and cheeks flush.

“Delbert, are you planning to do something naughty to me again?”

She blinked her big eyes at Delbert, her eyes filled with allure, which was irresistibly captivating.

Delbert’s large hand around Harriet’s waist suddenly tightened, and he you WWIIL naughty to you?”

“No, no!”

Harriet shook her head like a rattle drum and hurriedly pushed away from the man’s chest. But he embraced her with one arm and held her tightly against him, then flipped over and pressed her down.

“Delbert... W-What are you...” Harriet couldn’t help but exclaim.

Was he really going to do it on the sofa in the living room?

“Are you trying to tease me, then run away? What do you think I’m going to do? Hmm, my future wife?” Delbert’s deep eyes stared straight at her.

Boom!

Harriet was struck dumb!

No way!

“Delbert... Please get off me. I’m not ready yet!”

Her face flushed red at once, and she tried to push the man off her.

“What else do you need to prepare? We've done this so many times.”

Delbert seemed to be deliberately teasing her, his beautiful eyes fixed or s body stiffened. She was so nervous that her heart was about ap out of her chest!

At this moment, Cory came in to report, “Mr. Delbert, the steward from the old mansion has arrived.”

When he saw Delbert and Harriet in an amorous situation, he no longer felt as embarrassed as the first time. Instead, he interrupted them and ruined the romantic atmosphere without any hesitation.

Harriet blushed instantly again, quickly pushed away from Delbert, then hurriedly straightened out her disheveled clothes under Delbert’s body before daring to face them.

Behind Cory, the steward, Sam, from the old mansion walked over with a smile, “Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, it'll be Mr. Carlson Sr.’s 80th birthday in a few days. Mr. Carlson Sr. asked me to inform you!”

When Vernon learned that the baby in Nora’s belly wasn’t his, but rather from one of the men on the ship, he found it difficult to digest the shocking news.

He went to Holy Night alone to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Looking back now, if he had accepted Harriet’s affection for him in the first place, it would have been so much better for him to be with her.
