Lily turned her head to look at Delbert, who wasn’t far away, busy with his phone. Noticing the faint smile on his face almost left her breathless with irritation. 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. What he didn't see was the moment Liam got up and turned his back to him, the teasing look in his eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a fierceness Delbert had never seen before!At the same time, the family banquet Harriet had with her brothers continued under a
Harriet was their one and only beloved sister. They too longed for Yvonne's affection! Fortunately, Harriet quickly noticed the envious looks from her other brothers and promptly let go of Oliver's hand before immediately going over to be affectionate with them.The tension-filled family banquet found a fragile balance thanks to Harriet's charm and cuteness. Seeing that scene unfold, Arthur didn't know what to say. The situation that even his authority as the eldest brother couldn't control was easily resolved by Yvonne's playful pout?He felt like a failure as an elder brother! At this point, Levi also stood up. He continued to maintain a calm demeanor as if nothing had happened and went on organizing the banquet so it could proceed.Although Yvonne had effortlessly resolved the conflict between her brothers with her charm and cuteness just moments ago, their underlying rifts were still too deep. They were always looking for an excuse to nitpick at each other. It didn't
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. Brothers, why don't you decide by playing rock-paper-scissors?" she suggested.As soon as she finished, her seven brothers indeed stopped their quarreling and looked at Harriet as if they agreed with her idea.Harriet was inwardly delighted. The method that resolved the argument between her eldest brother, second brother, and eighth brother yesterday seemed to work today as well.Without further ado, the brothers got down to it right there at the banquet table, each eager to try their luck at rock-paper-scissors. But in a short while, with Oliver's howl of defeat, Levi once again emerged victorious in this game of chance.Arthur lost again and wasn't feeling much better than Oliver, his face full of regret."Winning two rounds in a row. Levi, your luck is too good!"Levi smiled faintly, "Can't help it!""Levi is al
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. In fact, he even called over the other six brothers, and they all united in persuading Harriet not to move out and cohabit with Delbert.Their relationship as brothers might not be the best at times, often
Harriet looked at the brothers in front of her, each showing a reluctant expression, while behind them stood a formidable group of bodyguards. 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
Then Ben saw a young woman in a pink pajama standing inside the door, blinking her sleepy eyes at him, clearly just having woken up.For a moment, Ben felt his heart melt under Harriet’s charm before him.Harriet tilted her head adorably and asked in a daze, "Ben, are you... here to see Delbert?"Ben nodded quickly and was about to explain his purpose when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen, "Is Ben here?"Was that Delbert's voice?At the sound of Delbert's voice, Ben's pupils constricted and he froze on the spot.Not because Delbert could recognize him right away, but because there was also the sound of cooking mixed in with Delbert calling his name!And both sounds were coming from the kitchen...Could it be that Delbert was cooking right now?Ben found it hard to imagine what the usually aloof Delbert would look like wearing an apron and cooking.This wasn't just shocking. It was absolutely sensational!Ben tentatively walked into the villa and loo
Having received the response, Ben prepared to say goodbye and return to Meawood City. As soon as Ben left, Harriet eagerly sat at the dining table, eyes gleaming as she looked at the food that Delbert had just cooked. When Delbert saw Harriet's impatient appearance, his serious expression from earlier disappeared, and his deep and beautiful eyes showed a hint of tenderness. He smiled lightly and asked, "Are you hungry?" Harriet nodded eagerly, "Yes!" She hadn't eaten anything since she woke up earlier. Once she smelt the aroma of the freshly cooked food, her stomach couldn't help but growl. Especially when she saw the plate of delicious food on the table, she couldn't help but salivate.Looking at the little glutton in front of him, Delbert raised an eyebrow and had an idea. He picked up the food with his knife and seeing the eager look on Harriet's face as if waiting for him to feed her, his voice became hoarse, "Call me dear, and I'll feed you." "My dear!" Almost
