The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

“Delbert, be good. I’m here. | didn’t leave. I’ve been staying home all the time,” Harriet murmured, trying to soothe him. Delbert turned to look at her, his eyes clouded with confusion. ‘Didn’t Harriet leave?”

in an instant, Harriet felt dizzy as Delbert pulled her into a tight

embrace.

The aloof man buried his face in her neck, and his voice choked with

emotion.

Harriet, | thought...”

He had thought she had left him, just like in their previous life.

Iff she had truly run away this time, he would have lost his sanity.

“Hanet, | can give you anything you want. Please don’t run away, okay? Delbert pleaded, holding Harriet close. Hiss/voice was muffled and filled with grievance.

Hendlung to her, unwilling to let go, as if he wanted to merge he

his beeing.

He fearred that if he let go, she would leave him.

Seems Deetbert’s/vulnerable and helpless state broke Harriet’s heart.

Teshesco centified of losing me, a substitute? Was he deeply wounded by that wennaarnamed Yvonne?’ Harriet wondered, feeling regretful that she hadn’t meet him first.

Quickly, she returned Delbert’s embrace, gently stroking his hair, and

will never leave you. | will stay by your side for the rest of my life.”

With her promise, a hint of satisfaction flickered in Delbert’s usually indifferent eyes.

Like a hunter who had ensnared a naive rabbit in his trap, he smiled

with contentment.

He was setting deeper traps, trying to lure the innocent rabbit further in and then devour her.

“But everyone says you like Vernon. Will you leave with him?” Delbert said, still having lingering worries in his voice. Finally, he had figured out Harriet’s personality. Acting soft and

spoiled proved effective with her.

“Delbert, | can swear to God that I’ve never liked that villain Vernon, and | will never leave with him.

“He doesn’t look as handsome as you, nor is he as rich and outstanding as you. Why would | like him?” she said, her heart softening at Delbert’s aggrieved look.

To prevent Delbert from having any more wild thoughts and to exacerbating his bipolar disorder, Harriet leaned down and plant kiss on Delbert’s handsome face.

Unexpectedly, Delbert took control, firmly grabbed her waist, and

kkissed her back. After a long time, he carried the weak-legged Harriet downstairs, his whole being radiant and in high spirits. Harriet’s eyes were watery, and her red lips were glistening,

“WWhy are you so upset? Isn’t it just a few more kisses? Don’t be angry, ookay?” Delbert, realizing his fault of flying into a random rage.

He had wished for Cory to find her quickly and then confine her, ensuring she could never escape again. But then she returned.

Now, whether she was sincere or pretending didn’t matter anymore.

If Harriet was deceiving him, he hoped this charade would last a bit longer, ideally a lifetime.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Harriet was left speechless. ‘Can the kisses they shared be considered romantic?”
