Chapter 165
Harriet pouted and looked aggrieved, “Humph! Delbert, | think Cory just doesn’t want me to cook in the kitchen. So, you won't be able to taste the lovingly prepared lunch boxes made by me in the future.
That’s your loss!”
Her coquettish tone and the way she leaned on his neck with delicate arms made Delbert feel as if he had been electrified. Indeed, he could never resist Harriet’s teasing.
“Cory, you're overstepping your boundaries!”
Delbert coldly glared at Cory.
Cory had no choice but to explain to Harriet with a respectful expression, “Miss Harriet, | didn’t mean it that way. Whenever you want to go to the kitchen for artistic creation, | won’t stop you!”

“Are you trying to tease me, then run away? What do you think I’m going to do? Hmm, my future wife?” Delbert’s deep eyes stared straight at her.
Boom!
Harriet was struck dumb!
No way!
“Delbert... Please get off me. I’m not ready yet!”
Her face flushed red at once, and she tried to push the man off her. “What else do you need to prepare? We've done this so many times.” Delbert seemed to be deliberately teasing her, his beautiful eyes fixed

When he saw Delbert and Harriet in an amorous situation, he no longer felt as embarrassed as the first time. Instead, he interrupted them and ruined the romantic atmosphere without any hesitation.
Harriet blushed instantly again, quickly pushed away from Delbert, then hurriedly straightened out her disheveled clothes under Delbert’s body before daring to face them.
Behind Cory, the steward, Sam, from the old mansion walked over with a smile, “Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, it'll be Mr. Carlson Sr.’s 80th birthday in a few days. Mr. Carlson Sr. asked me to inform you!”
