Chapter 36 Encounter in the Woods


    There were rumors about Delbert feeding mastiffs with people who had made mistakes, but Harriet thought it was nonsense.


    Delbert would never do such a thing.


    As she delved deeper into the woods, the thick foliage blocked out sunlight, leaving only a lush green.


    The road was littered with rocks and overgrown weeds, making it very difficult for her to walk.

    Surprisingly, the beast licked her face instead of attacking.


    Confused, Harriet looked over in the dim light, realizing it was a snow- white mastiff with blue eyes.


    She had thought it was a wild animal.


    Different from other mastiffs, this one was big, dull, and adorable.


    “Tucker, get up!”


    Delbert hurried over, his stern voice intimidating the dog.


    It got off Harriet and stood aside with its head hanging down.


    Sticking out its tongue, it seemed to be waiting for its owner’s reward.


    “Harriet, are you okay?”


    A pale-faced Delbert hurried over to help her up and check her for any injuries.


    “lm fine, Delbert.”


    Harriet shed a sweet smile and turned to the mastiff, asking, “Is this your pet? It’s so cute.”
