Chapter 765Delbert realized that he had forgotten to tell Harriet that he had returned to Meawood City.He cleared his throat and said, "I'm in Meawood City dealing with some matters. Once I'm done, I'll come back immediately. There will be a surprise for you.""There is no rush. Just take care of your business," Harriet replied.Feeling indebted to Harriet, Delbert said, "If you miss me, I'll have Ben book a flight and come back right away."Harriet was touched, but she didn't want Delbert to give up his long-planned arrangements for her sake.She spoke with a happy tone. "Just take care of your business. Nothing can come between our love."Delbert was delighted by her words. "I'm so blessed to marry an amazing woman like you."Harriet blushed. "You're outstanding enough to deserve me."Delbert chuckled and teased her, "Then I'll have to become even more outstanding. Otherwise, one day I won't be worthy of you."Harriet laughed along.From the dining table, the Bass brothe
Chapter 766"Wow, you're thoughtful today. Since you've invited me so warmly, I'll be there," Delbert laughed.It had been a while since he hung out with Marc and the others.Marc was pleased. "I'll send a driver to pick you up."Delbert chuckled. "It's okay. I can find my way to your place."They chatted for a while and hung up.Marc informed the household staff about Delbert's visit, and everyone got busy.Delbert left Sadie under Ben's watch and went downstairs to get his car. The car came out of the underground garage and ran straight toward Marc's villa.When Delbert arrived at the villa, the security guards recognized his car and let him in.After parking the car, Delbert got out and was promptly greeted by Marc.With a smile on his face, Marc said, "It's been a while, man. Come on in. Dinner is ready."Delbert nodded and followed him inside.In the hall, Marc pulled Molly to his side, a move to show off their affection.Without Harriet by his side, Delbert narrowed
Chapter 767"Oh, by the way, is Harriet still in Imperium? How is she doing?" Marc suddenly asked.Delbert snapped back and replied, "We still have things to take care of, and I'll go back tomorrow."Molly tensed up and anxiously asked, "Is Harriet okay? Did something happen?"Delbert heard the concern in her voice and reassured her, "Don't worry. Harriet is fine. She's doing very well and has eight brothers who dote on her."Molly breathed a sigh of relief."Yeah, rest assured. Harriet will be fine," Marc said, grabbing her hand.Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang."It must be Yuri and Sean. It's a rare chance of reunion, so I called them over," Marc said."Great! I haven't seen them in a long time," Delbert smiled.After the door opened, Yuri and Sean came in. Surprisingly, Joe came too.Joe used to be on bad terms with Sean. Delbert wondered when they became so close.That was a big change after Harriet and he left Meawood City."Long time no see!" Yuri and Sean gree
Chapter 768Delbert rarely had the chance to gather with everyone, but without Harriet, he felt like something was missing.Halfway through the meal, his phone suddenly rang.Delbert checked the caller ID and saw that Trevor was calling."Excuse me, I need to take this call," Delbert said, standing up.He walked toward the living room and answered the phone by the window."Delbert, I know you're back. Where are you? I want to see you," Trevor exclaimed.Delbert rubbed his forehead, replying, "I'm at Marc's place. Come straight over."Trevor hummed, and Delbert added that there were many people.Trevor believed it must be a lively scene. He thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, didn't Harriet come back with you? You two are supposed to be together."Delbert fell silent.Trevor didn't know what happened, but he believed that the situation was serious.Changing the subject, he said, "By the way, Monica and Cory will be arriving at Meawood City Airport tonight."Delbert
Chapter 769"There is something I have to attend to. I promise that I'll bring Harriet over next time and spend more time with you guys," Delbert said awkwardly.Now they had no more reason to keep him there. They all smiled and saw him off to the door.Delbert drove straight to the airport and arrived soon.Trevor was standing at the entrance of the airport."Delbert!" Trevor excitedly approached him.Monica and Cory came out of the airport, surprised to see Delbert there.They didn't expect Delbert to come pick them up."Delbert!" Monica ran over and hugged him.It had been half a year since they last met, and she missed him.Delbert accepted it instead of pushing her away.After Monica let go, Delbert looked at Cory."Mr. Carlson!" Cory greeted him respectfully.Delbert nodded in response.Half a year had passed, and Cory's skin had darkened. He had become more mature and stable, meeting Delbert's requirements."Where is Harriet?" Monica asked.She felt a little disa
Chapter 770Delbert nodded in agreement, aware of how close Trevor and Gerard were.Even Harriet used to tease their "couple vibes".Trevor quickly turned around to make the call. "Hey, Gerard, come over for dinner."Soon, there was a knock on the door.Trevor went over to open it. "Gerard? How did you get here so quickly? Is it the allure of dinner?"Gerard walked up and punched him in the chest. "Don't be ridiculous!"His words amused everyone.Delbert urged everyone to eat, but he remained absent-minded at the dining table. Without Harriet by his side, he felt empty and could not cheer up.Monica hadn't been so happy and had gathered with so many people for a long time.Raising her glass, she said, "Let's have a toast."Cory didn't stop her.Monica kept drinking until her face flushed.Before Cory could intervene, she started clinging to Delbert and blinking innocently. "I miss Harriet so much.""Monica, you're drunk," Cory said, trying to pull her away, but she contin
Chapter 771It took Delbert a lot of effort to get his phone back."Monica is drunk. You don't need to take her words seriously. It's just that everyone misses you because they haven't seen you for so long, so they're feeling a bit lost without you."Harriet laughed, saying, "I know. I miss them, too. Once I take care of everything, I'll come back to see them. And take good care of yourself.""I will!" Delbert said, intending to chat with Harriet for a while.But Monica was making a scene, so he had to hang up.Monica ran around the living room, saying that she would go find Harriet.Trevor, Delbert, and Gerard felt helpless.It was supposed to be a nice gathering, but unexpectedly, Monica got drunk and went wild.Her manners when she was drunk remained unchanged.Monica stared at them, mocking them for not being able to catch her.In the end, Delbert remembered Cory.At such a point, Cory was the only person who could calm Monica down, but he had no intention of stopping h
Chapter 772Cory looked down at Monica's pretty face.After confirming that she was fast asleep, he tucked her up and got out.Delbert went to the study room and looked at the books on the shelf.Cory came in and called out, "Mr. Carlson."Delbert pulled up a chair and said, "Take a seat."Cory smiled and said, "Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye."Delbert raised his head. "Indeed! I didn't expect so much to happen."Cory thought for a moment and said, "I've finished the training in Agral City and gotten promoted. I feel capable of protecting Monica. What do you think?"Delbert looked at him for a moment before getting up to pat his shoulder. "Yeah, you're indeed different from before."Cory was delighted.After a pause, Delbert continued, "In the days to come, I hope you can protect Monica well, just as you said. Now I feel at ease entrusting Monica to you."Cory stood up and solemnly declared, "Mr. Carlson, rest assured. I will protect Monica and never let her
