Delbert nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, I understand."
Sadie smiled and said, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll leave for a while. Rest well at home."
Delbert simply nodded.
After Sadie left, she instructed the butler, "Keep an eye on him more closely recently. If there are any strange behaviors, inform me."
"Miss Sadie, are you planning to restrict his freedom?"
The butler standing nearby bowed and asked with lowered brows.
Sadie waved her hand.
"No need for that. If he's kept too tightly, it might backfire. Just have more people follow him discreetly."
"Understood."
After the butler left, Sadie stood in place for a moment, gazing at the door of Delbert's room.
In the end, she still felt unsettled in her heart.
She was like a parent of a mischievous child, always keeping a close watch, afraid that the child might run off when she wasn't looking.
Sadie sighed lightly, rubbed her temples, turned around, and left.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Harriet lay in bed, crying loudly for half the day until she finally fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream-like state, she felt particularly restless.
Her head kept shaking as she tried to break free from the dream but only sank deeper into it.
"Delbert... Delbert..."
She kept murmuring in her sleep, her hands involuntarily trembling.
She tried desperately to grasp onto something but found nothing.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and soaked her hair.
In her dream, she saw herself playing and frolicking with Delbert in Agral City when they were young.
As she looked at the young Delbert's innocent face, she tried to get closer to him, but he seemed to move further away.
She called out desperately and reached out to grab him, wanting to stop him from leaving, but her efforts were in vain.
"Delbert!"
Just as she felt disappointed, the distant figure suddenly approached her again.

Where is the first of the guardians children’s books I can’t find it. Is it not done yet? I’m so invested in the whole saga I’m loving it and am itching for more!...

110 was uploaded twice...
You said in other chapters Cara smells like vinallia and lavender and now are saying she smells like vinallia and honey. Didn't know of that was on purpose or a mistake....
