The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon

“Are you sure? Harriet, you're really willing to go home with me?”

Delbert’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Harriet nodded vigorously.

No one forced her. She was indeed willing to go home with him.

Just moments ago, in the darkness of the haunted house, she had felt a moment of panic. But after the lights came on and she saw Delbert, she calmed down and was finally sure of her feelings. He was her tutelary, and she was willing to give him her love.

“No problem, let's go home!”

Delbert could no longer care whether Harriet’s words were true or

fasse.

Without a second word, he swept her off her feet and carried her awwebyldeaving the amusement park under the astonished gaze of Mancinod Molly.

In theandderground parking garage.

He stuffed Harriet into the car and slammed the door shut as if a second’s sidday would lead to her regretting her decision. Immediately after, he got into the driver’s seat, stepped on the acceleratopranod sped towards the seaside island.

Outside the windswaa light rain began to fall, as though it intended to wash away allltheegtboom.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

And after a heavy rain came clear skies.

Just like their situation now.

Delbert drove while watching the road ahead, his voice trembling slightly.

“Harriet, promise me, once you come home with me this time, don’t think about leaving me again, okay?”

Even though it was Harriet who had proposed going home with him, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't regret it upon waking up tomorrow and choose to leave him once again.

His emotions weren’t right now. If tonight, or tomorrow, his paranoia acted up and he impulsively did something unforgivable to her and made her hate him even more, that would be terrible.

J He couldn't lose her again. He couldn't bear such pain!

Having regained Harriet across the previous and this lives, he had long since woven her deeply into his very bones, always present like her shadow.

Eileen Chang said: “To love someone is to lay low in the dust and then to bloom.” That was Delbert in front of Harriet. With just one word from her, he would even give up everything for her, even the Carlson Group he had strove so hard to acquire.

But what he didn’t know was that Harriet felt the same way.

Because he didn’t know that, before Harriet could respond to him, he started answering for himself.

“No! Even if you insist on leaving, I'll still win you back. You, Harriet, can only be my woman, and my wife, for this lifetime! “| won't let you go, never...”

Towards the end, his tone was very soft, as if murmuring to hi

Harriet smiled through her tears that covered her face.

“Leave? After all this time, do you think | can leave easily?”

Now, all paths of retreat had been sealed. She was completely captivated by Delbert’s feelings and could only willingly follow him forward, whether it led to paradise or to an abyss.

Having chosen this path and accepted Delbert’s paranoid and violent side, she would walk it without hesitation!

Before long, the car slowly stopped in front of the seaside villa. “It's wonderful, Harriet. You're still by my side.”
