Chapter 198

"What would you like to eat? I'll have Opal prepare it," Delbert said matter-of-factly, taking her coquetry in stride.

But Harriet's fingers traced his Adam's apple, her eyes teasingly alluring.

"I want to eat you. Will you let me?"

Delbert stiffened, his breathing becoming heavy.

His haze heated up, wandering down her lips to her neck.

"Harriet, do you understand what you're saying?" he said.

Harriet pecked him on the lips, her eyes sparkling. "Of course, I do."

Her hand continued its mischief, slipping into his shirt. She blinked, innocently asking, "Is that not allowed?"

Their proximity intensified, their breaths mingling.

Delbert struggled to contain his lust.

Eventually, unable to resist, he grabbed Harriet's wrist and flipped her over, taking the initiative.

But before he could act further, the door swung open.

The doctors say she doesn't have much time left. We don't have any children, so I want to remarry and secure heirs for my family. Your daughter is the perfect choice for me," Kurt explained nonchalantly.Clifton hadn't anticipated that Kurt's agreement to lend him money was tied to this condition.Kurt was old enough to be Nora's father, yet he harbored such desires."But Nora is already married to Vernon," Clifton managed to say."She can get a divorce. I don't mind it," Kurt said indifferently. "We're both remarried, so we're a good match. Besides, aren't there rumors online about problems in Nora and Vernon's relationship? You should seize this opportunity to have her divorce him.""But..." Clifton was torn.Kurt continued to persuade him. "Think about it. In all of Meawood City

Harriet pondered."Delbert!" Harriet cried out, waking up.Her breathing was heavy, and her eyes were hazy. Panic was all over her face.Delbert immediately pulled her into his arms and soothed her gently. "It's okay, Harriet. It was just a nightmare. I'm here. I've always been by your side."Harriet laid her eyes on Delbert's face and seemed to recognize him.Her hand gripped his shirt collar as she tentatively called out, "Delbert?""It's me."

Her shoulders trembled as she released all the hidden restraint and suppression that had been built up since her rebirth."I had a nightmare.

Please forgive me!" she said.Her action made Harriet doubt if she had learned acting.Her show was seamless.Yet it was far from deceiving Harriet.Harriet grinned at the guilty-looking Nora.Since Nora wanted to play new tricks, she would play along.She innocently looked at Nora and said, "We're siblings, and I won't blame you.""You're so sweet!"

Nora was now in a difficult position.To salvage the situation, she had to release the news that Harriet and Delbert would attend her birthday party. This created an illusion for outsiders that they were going to have a grand reconciliation. Only then did the influential figures from Meawood City agree to attend the party.This was exactly what Nora had planned. The more people who came, the more embarrassing it would be for Harriet if something happened to her.The party was scheduled for 7 o'clock that night.As night fell, the moon cast a hazy light, and the stars filled the sky.In the living room of the villa, Delbert sat on the sofa, waiting for Harriet to come downstairs after getting dressed.Harriet changed into her evening gown and put on high heels before making her way do

The guests looked at them curiously.When Vernon walked up to Harriet, he pretended to be surprised and glanced at Delbert."Mr. Delbert, you're here too. You know, I used to accompany Harriet to Nora's birthday parties," he said.Then he shifted the topic and deliberately mentioned Harriet's dress. "This dress looks quite expensive. Did Mr. Delbert buy it for you?"Mr. Delbert is rich and influential. It's no wonder your parents wanted you to marry him, and you did."But even so, I am still your Vernon.
