"What's wrong, Delbert?"Before Harriet could grasp what was happening, a gentle tug from Delbert caused her to settle onto his lap instantly!He withdrew his heated hand, now using it to caress her delicate face tenderly. Treating it as if it were a cherished gem, he was unwilling to let go. Simultaneously, his other hand quietly encircled her slender waist. Harriet's heart was pounding. Now, Delbert's handsome face was just inches away, and his breath was scorching her neck.Trapped in his arms, she could clearly feel his burning heat through the fabric of his suit pants, and the pleasant scent of cold wood rosin drifted into her nostrils.Her face blushed unconsciously, resembling the colors of the evening sky. Even during their sexual intercourse in the Munoz family’s villa that night, she had not been as nervous."Delbert, stop it. I'll have to give you a massage."Embarrassed, Harriet tried to get up, but Delbert abruptly pressed her down and held her in his arms. "Do

'Ahhh! How could Delbert tease me like that?!' Harriet thought.Seeing Harriet's embarrassed look, Delbert couldn't contain his amusement. He found her utterly adorable at this moment."Now we can go down for the meal." Only then did Delbert let Harriet go and walk out of the room—a classic move of teasing and then leaving.Seated on the sofa, Harriet remembered the embarrassment that had just happened and clenched her fists in frustration.She had just made such a spectacle of herself!Rather than going downstairs to eat, Harriet cocooned herself in the quilt.If Delbert thought he could tease and leave, he was wrong! She just wanted to act up; she just wanted Delbert to come and coax her, to make up for the grievances of the past few days.She stayed under the quilt, waiting for Delber to come and coax her. Meanwhile, she idly scrolled through news articles on her phone, killing her boredom.Soon a piece of news seized her attention.The case of Clifton evading taxes had b

Harriet simply lifted the quilt, sat up, pouted, and stared at him, "Delbert, you're a rotten apple. I don't care about your kisses!" Seeing her glaring at him from the bed, Delbert, instead of getting angry, smiled, "Since you don't care, why refuse to eat, eh?"Then, surprisingly, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, sat on the nearby sofa, and lit it, ignoring Harriet's presence."I'm not hungry!"Harriet raised her chin, snorted, glanced at the smoking Delbert, and said, "Delbert, can you please not smoke? It's not good for your health!"Delbert looked at her with a playful expression. "You're caring for me?"At this point, Opal came in with steaming food. "Miss Harriet, eat some. Don't let yourself go hungry."Harriet lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "Opal, I'm not hungry. Take it away." “Uh…” Opal was somewhat in a dilemma. “Leave it here," Delbert gave his word. "Yes." Opal put the food down and immediately left the room, not wanting to disturb th

The three on the video silently exclaimed, 'Lord, Delbert has two different sides!'Harriet looked puzzled. It wasn't until he mentioned the meeting that she realized how embarrassed she had just been. In other words, the people at the other end of the video had heard all of the petulant words she had deliberately said, right? Delbert did it on purpose, didn't he?"Okay."Delbert looked charming at work, wearing a simple white shirt and lazily sitting in a black chair. He held Harriet with one hand and flipped through a document with the other.Then, facing the three at the other end of the video meeting, he said in a serious yet somewhat proud tone, "Sorry, my little girl was worried that I hadn't eaten breakfast and interrupted the meeting. Please don't mind. Let's continue." The three were shocked, thinking, 'Sorry? When has Delbert ever been so polite to us? He's deliberately showing off his love, isn't he?' "Ahem... boss, that’s all right. It means Harriet cares about yo

The next second, Delbert leaned in close to her ear and gently blew air into it, his voice low, sexy, and captivating."Harriet... I'm feeling so uncomfortable... Can you help me?" How could a girl resist the temptation of a top businessman, strict and decisive in business, now acting coquettish in her arms?Now, Harriet was completely under Delbert's spell, letting him do whatever he wanted with her.In the afternoon, golden sunlight streamed into the room, warming the entire space. Harriet slowly opened her sleepy eyes, feeling sore all over, with her limbs unusually heavy. "Awake?" Delbert was sitting on the edge of the bed, fully dressed. The sunlight coming through the window happened to illuminate his face, his misty eyes appearing complex and deep."Delbert!"Thinking they had fully reconciled after the morning's events, Harriet joyfully raised her hands, ready to embrace Delbert.But her wrist was pulled hard, making a crisp sound. Harriet woke up from the pai
