“It’s okay. I’ll wait for the day you’re willing to forgive me. But in the meantime, you still can’t go

anywhere. It’s too dangerous outside,” Delbert said as he stood up, but Harriet showed no reaction.

He could only sigh and then left the bedroom.

He would give Harriet freedom, but not now..

With Kenny’s family lurking outside, he feared for Harriet’s safety.

After the bedroom door was gently closed, Harriet lifted her gaze to the firmly shut door.

She knew that Delbert’s words were sincere. But she really couldn’t let go of her pride to forgive him

just yet.

She needed some time to cool off.

Once Delbert was downstairs, he went straight to the kitchen.

Opal was there, preparing ingredients for Harriet’s dinner.

“Opal, prepare some light meals for Harriet tonight. Her body is weak. She can’t eat anything too

greasy or spicy,” he instructed.

“Of course, Mr. Delbert!” Opal quickly responded.

It seemed like Delbert and Harriet were on the path to reconciliation!

In the upstairs bedroom.

After Delbert left, Harriet thought about many things and eventually fell asleep unknowingly.



When she woke up again, it was already seven in the evening. At that moment, her phone on the

bedside table flickered a few times. Picking it up, she saw a text message from Molly.

Molly: [Harriet, are you awake? Remember to eat well. Don’t starve. yourself anymore, be good.]

After a moment’s thought, she immediately replied to Molly.

Harriet: [Mm, I know, don’t worry about me.]

After charging her phone, Harriet got out of bed. She didn’t want to resist by starving herself anymore.

It was ineffective.

Harriet took her glass to get water downstairs. Just as she finished, she suddenly heard a “click” behind

her. Her heart tightened, and she quickly turned around.

Sure enough, it was Delbert standing by the light switch. After turning on the light, he leaned lazily

against the wall, his gaze hot as he

looked at her.

Harriet frowned slightly and was about to say something, but Delbert opened his mouth first.

“Harriet, you must be hungry. Opal has prepared soup for you. Eat some before going back up. You

haven’t eaten much today.”

The soup was ready since 6 am, but Harriet was still asleep.

Delbert didn’t want to disturb her sleep, so he waited downstairs.

Harriet was about to put on a cold front but remembered Molly’s text message, so she nodded instead.



Delbert’s tense expression finally relaxed a bit, and he quickly turned into the kitchen to bring out the

still-hot soup and placed it in front of

Harriet.

“Eat it while it’s warm.”

He sat opposite her, watching her with an intense gaze full of hope

and caution.

Harriet frowned.

Could it be that Delbert had been waiting in the dining room all this time just for her to come down and

eat?

“Why aren’t you eating? Is it not good?”

Delbert couldn’t help asking when he saw her staring blankly at the

soup.

“It’s fine.”

Harriet immediately began to eat with a spoon.

After finishing the soup, Harriet was about to start clearing the table when Delbert quickly stepped in

and tidied up everything for her. He was being extremely careful, almost as if he was trying to please

her.



Harriet’s frown deepened. She said nothing and didn’t bother with Delbert’s actions. She just took her

glass and went straight upstairs. She wanted to see how long Delbert could keep this u

up!
