Chapter 300Harriet felt the same discomfort and pain as Delbert, who once feared she would leave him.Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall."I'm sorry. It's my fault!" Delbert apologized, lowering his head.It was his fault for making her worry.He paused and looked up. "Won't you consider giving me a chance to make it up to you?"He leaned closer to her.Harriet instinctively wanted to run away, but her legs couldn't move.While she was spellbound, Delbert took her in his arms and refused to let go."I was wrong, and I will explain to you. Stop crying now. It hurts me when you cry!" he said.But to his surprise, Harriet cried even more bitterly."You jerk, you can coax me. Why do you have to show such a fierce expression?" she snapped, accusing him.The rushing tears put Delbert at a loss. He didn't know what he should do to stop Harriet from crying.In fact, whether it was in his childhood, his past life, or this life, he had never been the kind of person wh
Chapter 301Harriet's sudden confession of love stirred up Delbert's heart.It turned out that she didn't resent him for this matter.And she said that she loved him.Delbert couldn't care about anything else. He tightly held Harriet, his voice full of affection."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept things from you," he said. "But I love you more than you love me."Harriet's last line of defense collapsed.She cried until she laughed and nodded. "I understand your feelings. From now on, we will face everything together!""Okay, I promise you!" Delbert smiled.The pain and self-accusation were gone from his face.He picked up Harriet and happily spun her around.Harriet's laughter brightened up the whole street."Okay, put me down now. I feel a little dizzy." Harriet smiled broadly.Only then did Delbert put her down.Harriet felt a little dizzy, but her face was filled with joy."Let's go home!" Delbert said.He put Harriet in the car and headed straight for the island.A
Chapter 302Delbert rubbed his sleepy eyes and frowned at the sound of Harriet's restrained sobbing. He reached out and took her into his arms."Silly girl, why are you crying again?" he said.Harriet choked and said intermittently, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were injured. I shouldn't have misunderstood you earlier. Does your back hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"Delbert chuckled and rubbed her head. "It's okay, sweetheart. Such light injuries are nothing to me. Don't worry or cry. I'm fine."But his words only served to make Harriet feel more guilty."I'm sorry. I should have trusted you and not been angry with you," she apologized.Delbert knew that Harriet was overthinking again. He gently brushed her nose with his finger."I'm really okay. Well, stop crying. When I went to Imperium, I didn't expect Shawn to suddenly attack me, which caught me off guard and delayed my return. I made you worry."As for the fake news of my death, it was deliberately spread by me t
Chapter 303Delbert didn't know what had happened, but he could sense Harriet's fear from her trembling body.So, he held Harriet tightly."What's wrong? Can you tell me?" he asked patiently."When I woke up just now and didn't see you, I thought everything yesterday was just a dream. But luckily, you're still here!" she said. "Please, never leave me without a word again, okay? I was so scared!"She buried her head deeply in Delbert's chest.Delbert felt a dampness on his chest and noticed Harriet's trembling shoulders.His heart ached, and he quickly patted her back to comfort her."How could I bear to leave you? I promise, I will always be by your side. Whatever happens, we will face it together, okay?" he said.He smiled and muttered to himself, "I will never disappear from your sight again!"Harriet finally felt relieved, but she still held onto Delbert's waist."Alright, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Opal should have prepared it by now," Delbert said, feeling a bit
Chapter 304Harriet was still frowning, but a smile lingered on her face."You wish!" she said, trying to break free from Delbert's restraint.However, before she could escape, Delbert intercepted her halfway.She ended up in his warm embrace and happily giggled."Let's see where you can run this time," said Delbert, tickling her waist."Ah, it's so itchy! Knock it off!" Harriet protested.She tried to claw at him but could not reach him. She looked frustrated."Alright!" Delbert smiled, satisfied with her plea for mercy.However, after being released from his embrace, Harriet didn't want to let Delbert off easily.She quickly pinched his cheeks and grumbled, "A payback for your tickling, you villain!"She forcefully pinched his face.Delbert frowned, but his eyes were full of indulgence.Seeing that she had deformed Delbert's face, Harriet raised an eyebrow and triumphantly smiled.When she had finally vented her frustration, Delbert wrapped his arm around her waist."S
Chapter 305Delbert saw Harriet's flushed ears and smiled.When Delbert turned his head, he saw Opal still standing there, sneaking glances at their every move.His brows furrowed as he stared coldly at Opal. "Didn't you say breakfast was ready? Why are you still standing here?" Opal left quickly and closed the door for them.Harriet and Delbert were left alone in the spacious bedroom. The ambiguous atmosphere returned, causing Harriet's blush to persist."Opal caught us once again, and I'm too embarrassed to go out," Harriet said awkwardly.Delbert patted her head and indulgently said, "It's alright! With me by your side, who dares to say anything?"Let's go and have breakfast before it gets cold."...Three days later, Delbert's injuries had almost healed, and it was time to deal with Shawn.He didn't want Harriet to accompany him on this dangerous journey, but she insisted on going."Go to the east of the city," Delbert instructed Cory once they got into the car.His l
Chapter 306Harriet suddenly felt that Delbert was just an ordinary person.He would go to great lengths to protect Milton's reputation, and he would swallow his pride for the sake of the family business.He wasn't as unstoppable as everyone imagined. If even he couldn't resist those conspiracies, then the Carlson family would fall.Delbert was the helmsman of the Carlson Group and the beloved grandson whom Milton had placed all his hopes on. He had to shoulder this great responsibility.Perhaps because Harriet's gaze was too intense, Delbert asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?""Because you are good-looking," said Harriet in a rising tone.Delbert wondered why Harriet was being so sweet that day.And he heard her heavy breathing."Delbert!" Harriet called out."Hmm?" Delbert lazily narrowed his eyes."No matter what happens this time, we'll face it together!" Harriet said. "As husband and wife, we are supposed to fight side by side. You're no
Chapter 307"Delbert is dead. Milton is old and weak. Shawn and Kenny are useless. How long can the Carlson family hold on? Sooner or later, we will divide it up," someone whispered.Harriet listened calmly."Delbert, have you offended a lot of people in the business world?" she asked.Delbert raised an eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned. "How do you know?"Harriet rolled her eyes.She could tell it from those people's discussions.Normally, the guests would feel heavy about the death of someone. When it came to Delbert's death, however, most of the people present gloated over it.Harriet wondered what Delbert had done that made these influential figures in Meawood City celebrate his death."Since I took over the Carlson Group, I took advantage of the downturn in the industry and merged with many small companies. It's normal for people to hate me," Delbert explained, afraid that Harriet would mistake him for a ruthless person."In the business world, survival of the fittest is al
