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
After Miriam was injected with the Z-type potion, it would take half an hour before she could wake up. During this time, Harriet and Delbert stayed in the hospital room waiting.While waiting, Harriet took out her phone and sent a message to each of her brothers.Harriet: [Brothers, mom is about to wake up. Hurry to the hospital!]Upon receiving the news, the Bass brothers were thrilled and immediately dropped what they were doing, rushing to the hospital.The half-hour passed quickly. Harriet and Delbert saw Miriam slowly opening her eyes on the hospital bed."Mom, thank God, you're finally awake!"Harriet was overjoyed and rushed to hug her mother, tears streaming down uncontrollably.It had been a long time since she had cried, but this time she couldn't help it.Miriam slowly opened her blurry eyes, seemingly unclear about her surroundings, staring blankly at the ceiling without any expression."Mom, do you know how much I've missed you?"Harriet held Miriam tightly as te
After all the commotion that lasted until the afternoon and confirming that there were indeed no problems with Miriam's health, the brothers finally felt at ease.Levi took extra precautions by instructing the medical staff not to spread the news of Miriam's awakening just yet before they left with peace of mind.However, before they left, they insisted on taking Harriet with them.Delbert naturally didn’t agree until Henry shut him down with a single comment."We're having a sibling dinner tonight. What do you need to tag along for? Yvonne's seventh brother has returned. Our mother also has awakened, so of course we're going to celebrate. As for you, go cool your heels somewhere else."Henry had never been fond of Delbert, and his words now were particularly barbed."Alright Henry, don't always target Delbert," Harriet quickly intervened to smooth things over.She didn't understand why Henry harbored such hostility towards Delbert.Anyway, since her seventh brother had returne
Harriet raised her eyebrows slightly. "How is that possible? Alan, what are you talking about? No matter what you give me, I'll like it. How could I possibly be picky?" However, Alan's words piqued her curiosity. After all, Alan was a billionaire tycoon. What gift would he give her this time? If only he would give her the key to a gold mine!Harriet looked at Alan with curiosity, her voice filled with excitement that was hard to conceal. "Alan, can I open it and take a look?" Seeing Alan nod with a smile, Harriet couldn't contain her curiosity and immediately reached out to open the gift box in front of her. Inside the gift box lay a sapphire crown. The sapphire crown was made of flawless blue sapphires, a symbol of timeless elegance and regal beauty. The blue sapphires exuded a luminosity that danced with every movement.Seeing this sapphire crown, Harriet couldn't help but pick it up and gently caress it in her hand. It was the perfect combination of luxury and ex
There was even a brother who prepared a bunch of bodyguards to help Harriet beat people up and then carry them into the hospital? That was simply crazy! Fortunately, she had no grudges against Harriet. Judging by how much these brothers loved Harriet, if anyone became her enemy, he would probably be beaten into the hospital by her brothers before he even had a chance to act. In fact, even Harriet herself couldn't help but feel helpless as she watched her eight big brothers vying for favor with her. But as she looked at the eight gifts specially prepared for her by her eight brothers, her helplessness was instantly replaced by gratitude. The news of her mother's death shattered her idyllic childhood.The unbearable experience at the Munoz family's house erased her last longing for family affection. But now, her eight brothers were reviving her carefully concealed longing for family affection with meticulous care and unconditional love. Meeting these eight brothers was s
Immediately after, Delbert's warm hand tightly grasped Harriet's hand. He carefully guided her, but Harriet didn’t know where he was taking her. Harriet's ears had already turned red, and after a soft response, she let Delbert lead her by the hand and walked outside. In a short while, they reached the hotel's rooftop. Harriet was carefully assisted by Delbert out of the elevator and then stopped in the center of the rooftop. Her eyes were still covered, and everything was pitch black. Realizing that Delbert had stopped walking, she asked instinctively, "Delbert, can I take off the tie now?" "Hmm, let me do it for you." After pondering for a moment, Delbert moved behind Harriet and gently untied the tie that covered her eyes. The moment she saw what was in front of her eyes, Harriet was stunned. Not far away, fireworks soared into the night sky, bursting into brilliant sparks and adorning the empty night with countless stars. Amidst the dazzling lights and scattering
If it hadn't been for his quick reaction, his precious younger sister would probably have already run off with Delbert. Thinking of that, Henry was furious and directly rebuked, "Delbert, let go of Yvonne!"Caught by Henry in this scene, Harriet's fair cheeks instantly flushed red. She quickly let go of Delbert as if she had been electrocuted. She asked somewhat guiltily, "Henry, what are you doing here?"Seeing Harriet release Delbert, Henry felt a bit better, but he had no intention of letting Delbert off the hook. He snorted and took on the air of an elder chastising a younger one. "Delbert, what are you trying to do? Tonight is a gathering between siblings. But you just took Yvonne away without a word. We were all frantic looking for Yvonne, and here you are, being all lovey-dovey with her!"To think that Delbert dared to whisk away his precious sister right under his nose - that guy really had some nerve, Henry was livid. "You bullied Yvonne before. I haven't settled
The other seven Bass brothers also hurried over, obviously having witnessed the scene just now. Since Delbert had already apologized, they didn't feel it right to keep a stern face against him.Arthur stepped forward with a smile, his demeanor always steady as the eldest brother, and spoke amicably to Delbert, "Since it's our family gathering today and you're here as well, why don't you join us for dinner downstairs? How about it?"As soon as Arthur finished speaking, a voice of dissent suddenly rose sharply. "No! I don't agree!" Levi's eyes were filled with displeasure and a hint of jealousy. He didn't want to have dinner with Delbert! Not only did Delbert take Yvonne away from him but now Delbert also had to flaunt himself in front of him all the time - it was outright showing off!Seeing his suggestion immediately opposed by Levi, Arthur put on a resigned look. Among his seven brothers, many didn't like Delbert, but his view of Delbert was completely opposite to that
