The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper novel Chapter 657

Harriet and Delbert locked eyes and smiled at each other.

"Harriet, since you say this’s a destined matter, there's no need for you to thank me. We still have a long journey ahead of us. I’ll be with you for a lifetime, accompanying you in all that you wish to do."

Though short, that statement moved Harriet more than any grand declaration of love could have done.

Delbert wasn’t one for eloquence, but every word he spoke stirred waves in her heart.

His actions proved his commitment to her, showing that his love was genuine.

Whether in the past or now, it remained unchanged.

Harriet smiled and thought that was enough.

Delbert turned his head and suddenly placed his hand on Harriet's lips.

He gently caressed them for a while.

When she least expected it, he seized the opportunity and kissed her.

This sudden kiss didn't startle Harriet. The atmosphere was ripe for such intimacy.

Yet in the midst of their kiss, Delbert suddenly pressed closer and pinned Harriet beneath him.

As their breaths grew erratic, Harriet blushed slightly, her eyes already a bit hazy.

Delbert kissed down her neck and then whispered in her ear.

"Harriet, our plans for the future are so perfect, but we overlooked one thing.

"Our future is missing one thing—a baby."

The mention of a baby was quite provocative.

Harriet smiled faintly as the room filled with a romantic ambiance.

...

The next day, Harriet woke up with the sunlight shining on her face.

Seeing Harriet sleeping so peacefully, Delbert smiled as he got up to freshen up but couldn't bring himself to wake her.

Seeing that time was running out, he gently shook Harriet's shoulder and softly called out in her ear.
