    Harriet didn’t rush to sleep after returning to her bedroom. She probably had slept too much during the day and wasn’t very tired


    now.


    She took out her phone and found another message from Molly.


    Molly: [d you finally eat something! Be good, and I''lle to see you tomorrow.]


    Harriet: [Okay, waiting for you! When youe tomorrow, take me out for a walk, Delbert should listen to you.]


    After ying on her phone for a while longer, Harriety down.


    She didn’t know when exactly she fell asleep. She drifted off into a deeper sleep as the night wore on.


    In the middle of the night, the bedroom door was quietly opened.


    Delbert tiptoed into the room, even the sound of the door closing was


    hushed.


    Looking at Harriet’s peaceful sleeping face on the bed, he melted.


    It had been a long time since he had touched her. He couldn’t resist leaning over to gently kiss Harriet’s lips, still soft as he


    remembered.


    He deepened the kiss until the sleeping Harriet made a displeased sound, seemingly ufortable with the weight on her.


    Delbert looked up, silently smiling with indulgence in his eyes.


    But that was as far as he could go. If she found out, she would get angry again.


    Returning to his usual calmposure, Delbert tiptoed out of the room as if he wasn’t the one who had sneaked in for a kiss in

    The next day, after having breakfast without any interaction with Delbert, Harriet went straight upstairs and stayed in her room


    wait for Molly’s message.


    Molly had promised to take her out for a walk. Being locked in her room these past few days had nearly driven her mad.


    Around 9 am, her room door was finally knocked on.


    “Molly!”


    Harriet quickly ran to the door, but it was Opal''’s voice that came from outside.


    “Miss Harriet, Mr. Delbert asks for you downstairs.”


    Harriet froze abruptly.


    Why was it Delbert?


    Where was Molly?


    Could it be that Delbert wouldn’t allow Molly to take her out?


    “Miss Harriet?”


    Opal, hearing no response from inside, asked again.


    Harriet came back to her senses and replied faintly, “Okay, | know.”


    Although she really didn’t want to go downstairs to face Delbert, Harriet eventually had no choice but to open the door and walk

    the stairs.


    Downstairs, there were a few voices conversing, sounding somewhat lively.


    When Molly saw Harrieting down, she quickly stopped arguing with Delbert and stood up to greet her.


    “Harriet,e down quickly. Today we can only go out with th two guys apanying us, because someone isn’t reassured


    Molly’s words clearly meant that Delbert was worried.

    Delbert’s face darkened upon hearing that and gave Marc a look, signaling him to manage his wife.


    Marc sensed the tense atmosphere. But his situation with Molly wasn’t much better than that between Delbert and Harriet.


    Still, he tried to smooth things over, “Harriet, here’s the thing. Delbert and | are worried about you two girls going out alone. It


    might not be safe. So let us two be your knights in shining armor today.”


    Harriet understood Delbert’s intentions and looked at him coldly.


    “| know someone is afraid I''ll run away. But | don’t dare trouble the busy CEO, Mr. Delbert, to personally y my knight in shining


    armor. | can’t afford such honor!”


    Delbert knew Harriet didn’t want him apanying her, but as she said, he was afraid she would take the chance to run away


    and... he was afraid she would get hurt again likest time.
