The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice

Chapter 79

Harriet stared blankly at the fierce-looking Delbert, but the latter was silent. He just stared back at her, his gaze as sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce through her.

She took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to ask

again, “What’s wrong with you, Delbert? Did I upset you again by doing something wrong?”

Facing his silence and serious expression, she was flustered. She reached out to pull his hem, but Delbert grabbed her wrist.

“Stop acting!”

Delbert’s cold eyes mocked Harriet, who seemed frightened by him. Even if you’re not tired, I don’t bother to continue this drama with you!”

He struggled to suppress the boiling bloodlust within him, but the crimson at the corners of his eyes intensified.
