The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

After the line went through, Delbert said, “Harriet?”

But the call was hung up.

Delbert narrowed his eyes and fell silent again.

It seemed that Harriet was still mad.

He should go and comfort her.

He called again, but it was rejected.

He did it more times, only to find that his number had been blocked. Delbert couldn’t help but sigh.

Now he couldn’t even compromise.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after finishing all of his work at t company, Delbert drove back to the island.

The living room was empty, so he quietly went upstairs and leaned against the bedroom door, listening to Harriet and Molly talking on the phone.

They were chatting happily, and Delbert couldn’t find any

opportunities to interrupt.

He stood outside the door for a long time before sighing and

preparing to go to his study.

“Delbert!” A crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.

Delbert paused, and then he heard the bedroom door open, followed

by footsteps.

Harriet had just asked tentatively, and when she opened the door, she found that Delbert was really standing outside.

“You stayed outside for so long without coming in. This isn’t your style. You dare not come home for three days, but you don’t dare to face me?” she huffed.

Harriet’s complaints made him feel embarrassed. He turned around and coughed to disguise his guilty feeling. “’m back,” he said.

Harriet glared at him and let him in. “Why did you come back so early today?”

Delbert followed her inside and closed the door.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Harriet sat on the sofa and frowned.

She felt awkward facing him.

They had been in a cold war for three days, and she didn’t know wh to say to him.

The awkward silence prevailed, and the only sound in the room w that of wind blowing through the windows.

After a while, Harriet couldn’t bear it anymore. She took a deep breath and said, “Delbert, actually, what | said before...”

She summoned the courage to apologize, but when Delbert looked up at her, she turned her head away. “| didn’t really mean to say those things about you. Please don’t take it to heart. I’m...”

Delbert interrupted her with a hug, burying his head deeply in her neck. “I know what you mean. | didn’t consider your feelings, and | should be the one to apologize.”

Harriet could feel his heart beating wildly.

It made her feel relieved.

She hugged him back and grumbled, “I was going to apologize. Why did you interrupt me?” Delbert chuckled and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.”

Remember, you never have to apologize to me.”
