Chapter 96

Chapter 96 An Eating Struggle Harriet simply lifted the quilt, sat up, pouted, and stared at him, Delbert, you’re a rotten apple. | 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!”

n 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 t 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 the two’s private time together.

Harriet stared down the sheet in a daze, but suddenly saw Delbert approaching her with the food from the corner of her eye.

“Eat,” Delbert said gently.

Harriet looked at him angrily. “Delbert, just put it down. | can eat by myoun.

But Delbert held it right in front of her face, as if saying, “If you don’t eat the food today, I'll keep gazing at you like this.”

“Do you want to eat the food by yourself? Or do you want me to feed you?” Delbert threatened, a layer of gloom darkening his determined and handsome face.

Harriet instantly took the steaming food from his hand and obediently started eating under his seemingly angry gaze.

Delbert watched her eat until she had finished half of the food. Only then did he nod in satisfaction and leave the room.

Then, he went to the guest bedroom and closed the door.

Every time he saw the girl’s red lips opening and closing, he had an impulse to throw caution to the wind and kiss her.

He must be crazy! Harriet had just recovered. How could he entertain such thoughts?!

The water in the bathroom splashed steadily. Delbert took off his clothes, walked to the shower, and tilted his head back, letting the warm water drops run down from head to toe, but it couldn’t extinguish the flames in his heart.

As for Harriet, after eating to her full, she knew Delbert had left as usual.

These days, he was always like this-sometimes warm and sometimes cold, making her more uncomfortable than during their cold war.

She thought their relationship would improve after the incident at noon, but it seemed she was delusional.

Harriet quietly took the tableware to the kitchen, returned to her room, Tuy The next day, Opal woke her up.

“Miss Harriet, breakfast is ready.”

“Where’s Delbert?” Harriet asked about Delbert as soon as she got up.

Opal respectfully replied, “Miss Harriet, Mr. Delbert has an urgent video conference in the morning, and he is now in the study.

He hasn’t had breakfast yet.”

“Then | will take it to him.”

Harriet went downstairs and picked up breakfast, ready to take it to Delbert.

Opal smiled graciously behind her, wondering, ‘Is she trying to please him to strengthen their relationship?

Now Delbert was indeed in the study, having a video conference with Marc, Sean, and Yuri.

In recent days, due to the cold war with Harriet, he had neglected official matters, leading to a pile-up of documents. And the thr got up early in the morning to urge him, forcing him to deal with the quickly.

“Knock, knock, knock...”

The sudden knocking interrupted his train of thought, and he frowned He hated being disturbed when working, and the servants in the villa always knew it. Who was so impulsive to come and disturb him today?
