Chapter 93 The Gossip
Delbert was stunned, as if struck by a current.
Harriet started teasing him again.
Her nose was elegantly straight. As she looked at him, her mouth puckered slightly, looking incredibly
cute.
“Delbert, you’re getting bolder. How dare you play tricks on me?”
Delbert’s scorching breath gently brushed past her ear.
Sensing he was about to fight back, she struggled again to get up, but he held her firmly in his
embrace.
“Don’t move!”
His deep, hoarse voice seemed to have been squeezed out from the depths of his throat. Harriet
turned to look at him, only to see his deep, dark eyes staring intensely at her.
Harriet felt uneasy, but didn’t dare to move anymore…
As for Opal, after she accidentally witnessed Delbert and Harriet’s affectionate scene, her face turned
so red.
After she came out, she immediately began gossiping with the servants in the villa with whom she had

“When I went in to ask Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet to eat, I saw Mr.
Delbert put Miss Harriet on his lap. That was a great show of husband love!”

After all, marrying Delbert was the dream of all nine hundred million girls in Meawood City.
Their dream was about to be shattered because she had him firmly in her grip.
“Opal, Mr. Delbert didn’t get mad and punish you for ruining the atmosphere. You’re lucky!”
“That’s not true. Miss Harriet was on Mr. Delbert’s lap, and Mr. Delbert was kissing her! He was not in
the mood to blame me! Hahaha!”
Gossip was women’s nature. Opal and these servants burst into laughter as they chatted.
Previously, they had believed Delbert to be a cold, expressionless man of abstinence, much like an
iceberg. Little did they expect him to be so eager for intimacy.
Just as they were laughing their heads off, Colleen came over with a stern face and reproached, “Don’t
you have work to do? You even have time to gossip about the affairs of Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet?
Go to work now!”
Although she still worked in the kitchen, she had authority, and the servants in the house didn’t dare to
offend her.
“Go, go.” Opal and the other servants hurriedly dispersed, each going to their respective tasks.
Colleen glanced up at Harriet’s room upstairs, her brows furrowed.
Seeing that the fool Harriet was so favored by Delbert, she felt mad with hatred.
Since a fool could even gain Delbert’s favor, why couldn’t her daughter do that?

Now, she was waiting for her daughter to leave Mr. Welch and find an excuse to land on the island to
seduce Delbert.
Her daughter was so outstanding and beautiful. If Delbert took the bait, she would become the mother-
in-law of the owner of the Carlson Group, no longer a servant to be ordered around.
Then, she could strut around Meawood City with all the arrogance she
wanted!
The more she thought about it, the more pleased and excited she became. An uncontrollable smile

In the room.
“Opal… asked us to go downstairs to eat.”
Harriet felt nervous that her heart seemed to come out of her chest.
Delbert suddenly held her delicate, small chin and lowered his head, ready to tenderly kiss her soft lips.
Harriet held her breath, closed her bright, watery eyes slowly, and clenched her hands into fists. In
reality, she was eagerly anticipating
the kiss.
Yet, just as his lips were about to reach her rosy ones, he suddenly stopped and looked at her
quivering long lashes, a playful smirk appearing on his lips.
“You want me to kiss you so badly?”
He chuckled, a devilish charm that seemed to defy the world.
Harriet suddenly opened her eyes, seeing his lightly smiling eyes and the intentionally teasing
expression on his face.
Harriet playfully muttered a strong curse about him in her mind.
