The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

Chapter 279 “Ah! Mare, did you drink too much?”

Then Molly’s voice came again, “I’m sorry, Harriet. Marc drank too much. What did you say just then? What happened to you and Mr. Delbert?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. You guys can continue. We need to go home first,” Harriet said with a smile.

She knew without asking that there must be a big commotion in the private room now. It was right for her and Delbert to leave first.

After a few words with Molly, Harriet hung up the phone. Just as she put away her phone, Delbert’s warm large hand once again held her fingers. “Harriet, let’s go home quickly. It’s too dangerous outside.”

His voice was low and slightly hoarse. She wasn’t sure if she had misheard it, but she could vaguely sense a hint of coquettishness his tone.

Harriet was stunned, and her ears turned slightly red. Delbert in this state really looked like a bad man leading a young woman home.

Seeing that she didn’t react, Delbert thought she wanted to have fun a little longer in Holy Night and didn’t want to go home so early.

He held her hand a little tighter and his throat rolled lightly, emitting a single sound.

“Alright?”

After

some thought, he added, “Let’s go home!”

Delbert’s low, hoarse voice suddenly struck a chord in Harriet’s heart, making her feel all tingly. The blush on her earlobes spread to her entire ears.

“Okay, let's go home!”

Harriet cleared her throat and, when the tingling sensation subsided, she opened the car door and sat directly in the passenger seat.

The moonlight shone through the car window, casting a faint silvery light on her slender figure, accentuating her fair and radiant skin.

Delbert leaned his head to the side, resting his chin on his hand, looking at her with an indulgent gaze.

Soon, Delbert arrived at the entrance of the island villa.

It was nighttime, and the stars filled the sky.

After taking a shower, Harriet lay in bed, thinking about the stran encounter with a man named Levi at Holy Night that night. Gradually, her consciousness began to blur, and she was on the v of falling asleep.

At this moment, her body was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Delbert’s chin lightly rested on her forehead, and her small face wa against his chest, able to hear the sound of his heartbeat clearly.

Her cheeks instantly flushed red. If this continued, she was sure sh wouldn't be able to fall asleep. She struggled to leave his embrace. However, Delbert held her tightly and no matter how she pushed, she couldn’t break free.

He seemed to realize that the woman in his arms was struggling, so he held her tightly, as if he wanted to absorb her into his body.

His voice was hoarse and low as he murmured, “Don’t go... Harriet...

don’t leave me!”

Harriet was his and belonged to him only!

His dream talk was somewhat pathological. He kept tightening his grip on her large hand, as if afraid that she would leave. After hearing his murmurs, Harriet somehow felt upset. She

immediately stopped struggling and gently reassured him, to soothe him.

Seeing Delbert’s vulnerable appearance, Harriet couldn’t bring herself to struggle anymore.

She quickly reached out and hugged Delbert tightly, murmuring, ” Delbert, | won’t leave. I'll be with you forever in this life!” It seemed that her attempt to leave last time had indeed deeply affected him.

But after curing Delbert’s paranoia, she still had to go to Impe

find her mother!

Later, the two fell asleep in each other’s arms...
