The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice

Chapter 175

“Delbert, I’ve been waiting for you,” Harriet said, her eyes heavy with

sleep.

She was a light sleeper and had noticed when Delbert left the room.

She knew he must have gone to see Milton, but she was puzzled by the troubled look on his face when he returned.

Delbert couldn’t help but chuckle. “Would you like to sleep when I

return?”

Caught off guard by his intense gaze, Harriet quickly lowered her eyes, her heart fluttering. “Delbert, I’ve prepared your bath.”

As he hadn’t mentioned his visit to Milton, Harriet didn’t dare to ask.

She was about to leave him in the bathroom when he suddenly grasped her hand.

“Stay, okay?” Delbert said.

His voice was low and enticing, stirring something within Harriet.

She blushed at his words.

They hadn’t been so intimate on the island.

“No, I want to watch TV.” Harriet quickly refused.

But he persisted, mimicking her coyness. “Don’t you love me anymore? Can’t you grant me this small request?”

He loosened his grip on her hand.

Startled, Harriet instinctively clung to him.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally relented.

He pulled her closer, finding her flushed face endearing.
