"I'm sorry, I don't need this opportunity. Please keep it for someone who does."

Harriet watched the scene unfold, her lips involuntarily curving upwards.

She was about to burst out laughing and quickly stifled it.

She didn’t expect Oliver to invite Delbert to work at his bodyguard company because of his impressive fighting skills.

The thought of the owner of the Carlson Group working as a bodyguard was almost too funny for Harriet to contain her laughter.

But she couldn't really blame Oliver, who probably couldn't imagine that his brother-in-law was actually the richest man in Meawood City.

After being rejected by Delbert, Oliver still looked like he valued talent and even tried to persuade Delbert to join his company. Harriet quickly stepped forward to intervene.

"Oliver, didn't you say there's a banquet at Levi's house tonight and you're taking me home? Let's go then."

She stomped her foot, turned around, and left in a huff, not wanting to stay there a moment longer.Meanwhile, Delbert didn’t even notice Lily's presence. To Liam's half-joking inquiry, he casually replied with a "Yes," his smile growing even wider.Liam sat beside him, casually chatting more about the topic. Delbert responded without giving it much thought. They didn't talk for long before Liam excused himself, citing some business, and left.Delbert didn't take it to heart and continued smiling as he looked at the new messages from Harriet on his phone.

    Harriet couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart. But suddenly, an idea struck her."If we continue to argue like this, we'll never reach a conclusion.

    The things from their childhood were scars that Delbert couldn’t easily reveal, but since Harriet wanted to hear them, even if he would be covered in bloody wounds, he would tell her.Hiding his sorrowful thoughts, Delbert regained his composure, his eyes and brows filled with a gentle smile."It was back when we were children. A certain little girl in the flowers stood on tiptoe and said she wanted to marry me."Oh, that little girl doesn't remember anything now. She needs me to help her recall."With a smile in his eyes, Delbert leaned in leisurely and pecked lightly on the woman's red lips. He was about to deepen the kiss when a waiter who came in to serve dishes caught them in the act.The waiter turned away immediately, full of apologies, "Sorry... I knocked on the door.""It's okay," Delbert waved his hand dismissively.But for Harriet, who usually maintained a calm and cool demeanor, her face was instantly covered with embarrassment.What the heck!After the waiter left

    Delbert didn't give it much thought. After hanging up the phone, he sent the address of the rented house to Harriet and then began to pack his things.On the other side, Harriet had just put away her phone and started to fret. Knowing her seven brothers and their protective nature, they would definitely not agree to her cohabiting with Delbert...But no matter what, she still had to try and convince them. Maybe they would agree to let her move out and live with Delbert.However, as soon as Harriet brought up the idea of moving out to live with Delbert to Levi, she was met with his strong opposition."No way! I absolutely cannot agree to this!""Levi, please, I really want to live with Delbert. Just agree, please!"Harriet even resorted to acting cute, but Levi was unmoved.

She then turned to look at Delbert, who was sitting in the car waiting for her, and exchanged a resigned glance with him.She was only going to live with Delbert. Was such a grandiose display really necessary?Moreover, being stared at by the surrounding crowd of onlookers was triggering her social awkwardness."Alright, brothers, it's enough to escort me here."Seeing that her brothers still stood their ground, unwilling to leave, Harriet quickly spoke up, "Delbert has already come over. I'm about to leave in his car. There won't be any issues."However, their faces were still filled with reluctance.After all, Yvonne was the only precious sister of all the brothers. They wished nothing more than to cherish her.But ever since Clifton took the young Yvonne away to Meawood City years ago, they had almost lost contact with her.Fortunatel
