Harriet cried as she said, "Delbert, do you know? I actually saw my father kill my mother in front of me. I witnessed such a scene..."But I couldn't do anything. My mother's despairing eyes are still fresh in my memory, but I couldn't do anything..."Harriet's voice trembled with each word, evoking deep sympathy. Delbert clenched his teeth, understanding Harriet's sense of helplessness. He had experienced a similar feeling when his brother was swept away by the river in front of him, and he couldn't save him.The pain of being unable to act in such situations was something he understood all too well.However, with many years having passed since then, he was unsure how to comfort Harriet in this moment.Perhaps what mattered most now was for Harriet to realize that she was never alone, and she could always confide in him.As long as Harriet was willing, he would always be there to listen to her.Harriet tightly held onto Delbert's clothes, crying in his arms for quite some t
"Delbert, you goof."At her words, Delbert's eyes lit up instantly. He had finally managed to make his beloved laugh.The two of them remained quietly nestled together for a while. After some time passed, Harriet suddenly remembered something and asked, "Delbert, why have we been married for so long, yet you've never told me that I'm Yvonne?"Do you know that I haven't been able to sleep well because of this name?"With these words, Delbert became intrigued. He glanced down at Harriet in his arms and suddenly felt curious about what she had been thinking at that time."Then tell me the reason. I'm quite curious. Why couldn't you sleep well because of this?"Delbert knowingly asked, just teasing Harriet.Blushing slightly, Harriet appeared somewhat embarrassed. Delbert's lips curled into a mischievous smile. He wanted Harriet to willingly reveal it herself."You clearly know the reason. Why are you asking me?""I don't know everything, Harriet. I'm not as clever as yo
Harriet and Delbert locked eyes and smiled at each other."Harriet, since you say this’s a destined matter, there's no need for you to thank me. We still have a long journey ahead of us. I’ll be with you for a lifetime, accompanying you in all that you wish to do."Though short, that statement moved Harriet more than any grand declaration of love could have done.Delbert wasn’t one for eloquence, but every word he spoke stirred waves in her heart.His actions proved his commitment to her, showing that his love was genuine.Whether in the past or now, it remained unchanged.Harriet smiled and thought that was enough.Delbert turned his head and suddenly placed his hand on Harriet's lips. He gently caressed them for a while.When she least expected it, he seized the opportunity and kissed her.This sudden kiss didn't startle Harriet. The atmosphere was ripe for such intimacy. Yet in the midst of their kiss, Delbert suddenly pressed closer and pinned Harriet beneath him.As
Sadie's face suddenly appeared in Harriet's mind, and she furrowed her brow, feeling a surge of hatred.It was Sadie, her childhood best friend who, after Harriet lost her memory, secretly took away her token and her life.Despite all that, Sadie remained unrepentant. In order to secure her position, she heartlessly pushed Harriet’s mother down the stairs, causing Harriet’s mother to remain unconscious for so many years. Harriet would never let her get away with it.Even though she didn't particularly want to see Sadie at the moment, this was a collaboration between two companies. Harriet couldn't make decisions unilaterally.Hurriedly entering the meeting room, Harriet apologized to everyone before taking her seat.Sadie sat in a prominent position, watching Harriet arrive late. She couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks."Who do we have here? The esteemed Ms. Harriet, showing up late for a collaboration meeting is quite disrespectful, don't you think?"Now that
Delbert lowered his gaze.He would never allow anyone to interfere with his relationship with Harriet.He knew Sadie's intentions but had always only had Harriet in his heart since childhood. He didn't care about others' feelings and would never make Harriet uncomfortable for the sake of others."Sadie, if you continue to pester us, I won't hesitate to ruin your reputation. You know me—I always say what I mean."Delbert's words were straightforward and clear. Sadie frowned and was about to say something else.But unexpectedly, Harriet turned Delbert's face towards her and kissed him directly in front of everyone.Seeing Delbert and Harriet publicly display such affectionate behavior left Sadie infuriated. She gritted her teeth and her pupils constricted suddenly.However, with so many people present, she could only try to remain calm.After the kiss, Harriet proudly leaned into Delbert's embrace and gave Sadie a triumphant look."Excuse me, this’s my man, Miss Sadie. Ple
Just when their passion was escalating, they suddenly heard a knocking at the door from outside.It turned out that the documents had been processed, and the specific details of their collaboration needed Harriet's approval before signing.The secretary knocked on the door for a while, thinking that perhaps Harriet hadn't heard her. She knocked a few more times."Ms. Harriet, I have organized the documents. I need you to review them before signing. Are you in?"The secretary wasn't sure if Harriet was in the office or not. However, as Harriet was the general manager, the secretary couldn't simply barge in.There was a knock on the door. Harriet appeared somewhat flustered.Feeling even more nervous inside, she flushed again. "Delbert, let go of me quickly. There's someone outside!" Harriet whispered softly as a reminder, but Delbert didn't release his grip.Instead, he continued his actions without paying any attention to Harriet's increasingly heavy breathing.After
After leaving the company, Sadie immediately rushed back home. She looked at the photos she had backed up, her eyes filled with satisfaction. She had already instructed her assistant to contact the entertainment news reporters. With these photos in hand, she could easily frame Harriet with a scandalous reputation overnight.Thinking that, she inquired about the current situation from her assistant at once. The assistant made the call. They had already arranged for the news to be released. All articles were edited and ready for her review. "No need to show me. The more sensational, the better!" She instructed, "Keep it confidential. No one must know it was me."After these brief instructions, the call was disconnected. The news spread rapidly, with Sadie even hiring online influencers to stir up the controversy. Within an hour, photos of Harriet and Delbert had become explosive news.Negative public opinion quickly shifted towards Harriet, accusing her of betraying
Delbert gritted his teeth and immediately dispatched security guards to remove the troublemakers causing a scene for money. Unable to tolerate Sadie's continuous harassment of Harriet, Delbert was about to confront her, but suddenly he received a call from her.Not wanting Harriet to suffer further harm, Delbert reluctantly backed down. He closed himself in the study before answering her call."Sadie, do you want to die? I can make it happen!" Delbert coldly threatened before Sadie could say anything.Shrugging nonchalantly, Sadie didn't directly answer his question. "I've booked a hotel, Delbert. I'm inviting you for dinner tonight. I'll send you the location."Although her invitation seemed irresistible, Delbert had no patience to entertain her and bluntly stated, "I won't give you another chance, Sadie. This time, you’ll have to make amends to Harriet."Knowing that Delbert wouldn't agree to meet her, Sadie held a trump card and wasn't afraid of his refusal. "Delbert,
