"Monica, is this your cousin? He's so handsome!"

The girl who was holding Monica's arm couldn't take her eyes off Delbert since she saw him.

Although the corridor was dimly lit, it couldn't hide Delbert's beauty and charm.

Since his appearance in the corridor, many eyes were cast upon him, and some people even secretly took photos with their phones.

However, when they saw Harriet by his side, they knew that he wasn’t available, so they only watched from a distance and didn't dare to approach to strike up a conversation.

Only Monica's good female friend, Sophia Brown, stared at Delbert without taking her eyes off him. "How come I've never heard you mention that you have such a good-looking cousin? By the way, what's your cousin's name?" Sophia asked sweetly.

Delbert ignored her.

Seeing his displeased expression, Monica quickly pulled Sophia's hand, indicating that she should not provoke her cousin.

"I didn't expect my man to be so popular!" Harriet responded with a cheer

    Harriet's petite and soft body leaned against Delbert's chest as she said very seriously. The implication was clear: ‘You better not seduce my fiancé!’"What do you mean? I just invited him for a drink. How does that count as seduction? Please don’t misunderstand me. I've always been straightforward and frank. If my words sound unpleasant, don't take them to heart." Seeing the accusatory looks from the people around her, Sophia quickly denied. However, her words were cleverly crafted, turning her unreasonable behavior towards Harriet into a matter of her own straightforwardness. As for Harriet's misunderstanding of her, that was Harriet's own narrow-mindedness and had nothing to do with her. Monica, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but admire her friend's speaking skills. She could probably make people believe what was wrong was right. "Oh, Delbert, look at her, she's deliberately insinuating that I’m a bad woman!" Harriet turned the tables and brought Delber

    Just as Harriet looked confused, Delbert suddenly leaned in close to her, then his cold lips slowly pressed against her thin lips. A deep kiss left the woman blushing. Harriet's eyes widened in surprise. Delbert's kiss had caught her completely off guard. At this moment, she could clearly hear the pounding of her own heart. It was about to leap out of her chest!"Yvonne?" Suddenly, a man's voice interrupted this sweet moment. Harriet was taken aback. Why did she find this voice somewhat familiar? Delbert's body also stiffened, then he immediately let go of Harriet. Sensing his unusual reaction, Harriet felt a sense of loss.It seemed that in his heart, the woman known as Yvonne was still the most important. Harriet turned to look and saw a man in a black suit standing opposite her. He was wearing a pair of white gloves and an exquisite brooch on his chest. With fair skin like a girl, a slender build, and an air of elegance, he looked like a beautiful poster just s

    "I warn you. Don't touch my sister!" Henry was getting angry, glaring at Delbert and about to make a move. The tension was about to explode! Just then, three female voices suddenly called out in unison from not far away. "Henry!" Immediately after, three beautiful women ran over. Henry was startled and took several steps back. Even though they were three beautiful and elegant women, he looked as if he had encountered a pack of wolves and tigers, his face full of reluctance. "Henry! I finally found you!" One of the women cried with tearful eyes, gazing at him affectionately. The other two also looked at him with eager excitement. "Henry! Didn't you say that I’m your favorite woman? Who are these two?" "I told you, Henry's favorite woman is me. You two don't have to delude yourselves here. Hurry up and leave!" The three women exploded into a heated argument, each claiming to be the woman Henry loved the most, causing a ruckus! Harriet looked on in confusion. Did t

    At the same time.Harriet was pulled by Delbert by the wrist and dragged all the way out of Holy Night. Inadvertently, he used some force, causing her to gasp in pain."Delbert, let me go quickly. It hurts!" But the man remained silent, just blindly moving forward.In the end, Harriet couldn't keep up with Delbert's long steps, and she lost one of her high heels along the way."Hey, my shoe fell off!" Harriet staggered, and Delbert quickly supported her. He paid no attention to the missing shoe, but directly pinned her against his luxury car.A strong sense of oppression suddenly struck Harriet."Harriet, have you forgotten what I said?" Delbert looked straight ahead, speaking coldly."What do you mean?" Harriet looked puzzled."You are my woman. You’re not allowed to flirt with any other men!" When did he say that? And, she didn't flirt with anyone!Harriet pouted, looking depressed, "Delbert, I didn't flirt! I just praised how cool the magician looked when he flew

    After the overbearing Harriet finished with the innocent Delbert, she tried to break free. But the next moment, Harriet felt dizzy and suddenly found herself pressed against the hood of the luxury car by the man. Delbert's tall and straight body directly covered hers."You all, leave now!" Delbert breathed heavily, coldly urging them to leave.The five people were struck dumb.Delbert had already asked them to leave several times. If they continued to linger here, they might end up in trouble, so they had to leave the scene.Harriet was petite. Being enveloped and pressed against the hood of the luxury car by Delbert, she could be barely seen."Delbert, don’t you want to go home?" Harriet asked knowingly, her eyes full of cunning and mischief.She clearly wanted to run away after teasing Delbert.Lustful desire flickered in Delbert's eyes. Under the dim yellow streetlights, a halo of light fell hazily in circles, enveloping their bodies within it.Due to his tall build, Del

    Harriet and Delbert came to the hospital today to accompany Molly for a check-up. Unexpectedly, they ran into Nora."Nora, what are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick?" Harriet saw that Nora's complexion was very pale and her eyes were dodgy. When Harriet showed up, Nora seemed to be startled.Besides, Harriet remembered that Vernon drunkenly mentioned Nora's pregnancy at Holy Night last night. And today Nora came to the gynecology department. It seemed that she was really pregnant. But at this moment, she wasn’t accompanied by Vernon, so she must not dare to tell him about it."It’s none of your business!" Nora retorted directly. Feeling guilty, she argued without confidence."Nora, I’m just concerned about you. How can you talk to me like this?" Harriet nestled innocently in Delbert's arms, looking very aggrieved."Nora, mind your language! Talk politely to my woman!" Delbert, sided with Harriet, stared coldly at Nora.Nora shuddered with fear, feeling a chil

    Even though Vernon didn't know who had beaten him up last night at Holy Night and left him bruised and battered, he still limped out of the hospital to track Nora and Bessie. He had witnessed the entire transaction between Nora and the man just now, so he felt that things definitely weren't that simple. Nora must be hiding something from him!"What did that woman take from you just now? I'll pay double to buy it!" Vernon said coldly."No problem!" The henchman sneered and immediately opened his phone, showing Vernon the backup video sent to him by the man in black. "Hey, it’s definitely a bombshell. Take your time watching it!"...Meanwhile, at the café outside the hospital.Nora thought that the video matter was finally resolved and breathed a sigh of relief. But she wondered if the man in black would be furious and retaliate if he found out she had deceived him."Nora, the video matter is resolved. Now we need to think about our plan to deal with the man in black. Are you

Her hands clutched the blanket, as she didn't know how to broach the topic."You're my wife. I have the right to know the truth," Marc said seriously.They had been together for so long, but he didn't know about this matter until an outsider told him.Molly bit her lip and shook her head.

"Mr. Welch, please wait outside," the nurse said, intercepting him.Marc looked at the closed emergency room, and anxiety caused him to feel breathless.After a long time, the doctor came out, and Marc urgently asked, "How is she?""After a series of tests, we confirmed that Harriet has stomach cancer," the doctor said solemnly.Marc was struck dumb. Even his ears were buzzing."What?" He trembled."Her stomach has suffered significant damage, and she can't eat many things," the doctor explained, sighing at Marc's dejected look."But she's always been fine? Did you make a mistake in the examination?" Marc said, looking at the doctor incredulously.He had been with Molly for so long, but he hadn't heard of her stomach discomfort."I know the res
