Chapter 317
The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon
Lula couldn't face Delbert and Harriet anymore. She quickly tugged on Vernonâs clothes, indicating that he should leave quickly.
âWell then, we won't disturb you,â Vernon said, coming to his senses.
Neither Delbert nor Harriet responded to him during this period. Their disdain toward him was plain to see âLet's order the food.â Vernon sat across from Lula and gentlemanly placed the menu in front of her.
But his mind was preoccupied with Harriet.
He hadn't forgotten how Harriet had dissed him at Noraâs birthday party. The more she ignored him like this now, the more he wanted her heart to be back on him like before.
And Harriet was more tempting than before.
Delbert leisurely picked up the menu, ignoring Harrietâs doubtful ga âWhat does Delbert mean by intentionally bringing me here to see Vernon and Lula?â She wondered.
â| remember you like spicy food. Flavor Fusion has the best of all worlds. Each dish here is selected from various cuisines. Let me see, how about beef salad? | remember you liked it the most,â Delbert said.
âSure!â Harriet nodded listlessly.
âHow about flank steak?â he asked.
âOkay!â replied Harriet.
âOh, | remember. You used to tell me that you loved spicy fish, so Iâll order one for you,â said Delbert.
Spicy fish was Harrietâs favorite dish since she had been with Delbert because he loved fish.
âHere is your favorite spicy fish!â
The dishes were served soon, and Delbert picked up a chunk of meat for her.
Vernon, who was watching them, remembered that Harrietâs favorite. dish used to be beef stew cooked by him.
At that time, Nora bullied Harriet and left her starving, so Harriet went to find Vernon.
He felt sorry for Harriet and secretly went to the kitchen to cook for her.
Because she liked beef stew, he deliberately put that dish in front off her.
Harriet looked at him with a broad smile. Her admiration greatly delighted Vernon.
And she used to follow him like a shadow.
But as they grew up, interests and entanglements appeared in th world. He left Harriet and went to the more advantageous Nora.
Only when Harriet married Delbert and no longer cared about him dio Vernon suddenly realize that he seemed to have lost the most important thing in his life.
Harriet could sense Vernonâs gaze, but she ignored it.
At that moment, she only itched to send Vernon and Nora to prison.
As she thought resentfully, Harriet picked out the fresh bones. Delbert put the fish meat in his bowl and chewed slowly.
Delbert had to thank Vernon for his unfaithfulness, which pushed Harriet to Delbertâs side.
