Chapter 27 Bathroom Encounter


    Harriet joyfully went upstairs to Delbert’s room.


    The room remained unchanged from her previous life when she first arrived here. The cool tones of the furnishings reflected the


    owner''s


    temperament.


    Stepping into the room that had been her sanctuary for nearly a year, Harriet clenched her fingers. A mist of emotion clouded her


    eyes but soon dissipated.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    This very room had been the stage of her betrayal by Vernon. He had handed her a ss of wine, which she had naively


    believed to beced with a mere sedative. Instead, it contained a lethal poison that extinguished the life of a proud and noble


    man.


    In this life, she vowed to shield Delbert from harm, even if it


    demanded the ultimate sacrifice.


    “Delbert, I’m here to see you!”


    Harriet’s voice echoed cheerfully through the room, but it was with silence. Her eyes scanned the room, finding no trace of Delbe


    The only sound was the rhythmic dripping of water from the


    bathroom.


    She curiously approached the bathroom, noticing the light seeping from beneath the door. Presumably, Delbert was bathing


    inside.


    Just as she was about to leave, a deep, husky voice rang out.


    “Who''s there?”


    The bathroom door swung open.

    Abig hand seized Harriet’s wrist, pulling her forward.


    Caught off guard, she lost her footing and tumbled onto the man soaking in the bathtub.


    “Ahh!”


    Harriet surfaced, her wide eyes staring down at the handsome man beneath her. She blinked innocently like a lost kitten.


    The droplets of water clung to her eyshes, adding an irresistible charm to her appearance.


    “Get up!”


    Delbert’s voice was strained, and his breathing was uneven. Her


    innocent expression was testing his self-control.


    “O-Okay!”


    Harriet clumsily rose to her feet, but her feet slipped again. In her frantic attempt to regain bnce, her hands inadvertently


    yanked down the white towel Delbert had draped around himself after exiting


    the bathtub.


    Delbert was stunned, wondering if she had done it on purpose.


    Harriet found it hard to exin herself.


    “Sorry, I''ll help you put it back on.”


    Realizing her blunder, Harriet blushed up to her ears.


    She hastily retrieved the soaked towel from the water and attempted to wrap it back around the man.


    Delbert’s eyes smoldered, and his breathing became disorderly again.


    Like a lone wolf lurking in the shadows, he was ready to pounce on his prey.

    evil.”


    Delbert took a deep breath to suppress his desires and demanded, ”


    Leave!”


    “Delbert?”


    Harriet looked up at him with confusion in her limpid eyes.


    Realizing his loss of control, Delbert softened his tone. “Go change your clothes.”


    His gaze lingered on her drenched clothes. They clung to her body, entuating her curves. Once again, he struggled to keep


    his desires.


    in check.
