For some reason, Delbert’s paranoia surged with the thought.
It took him quite some time to suppress it and flash a mischievous grin at Harriet.
“Yeah! I’m indeed running a fever, a serious one,” Delbert murmured, nibbing her earlobe.
“Harriet, you’re my cure. Let me take you, alright?”
Harriet blushed up to her ears.
When Delbert sweet–talked, he was so smooth and composed.
“Stop teasing me,” she said, feeling like she was going to lose control.
Delbert said she was his cure, but she knew he was her antidote.
In the kitchen, Marc hung up the phone and found Molly standing there, looking pale and fragile.
Her eyes held undeniable sadness.
His heart felt a pang, followed by a surge of anger.
Molly’s voice was cold and mocking, and her piercing gaze made him feel exposed.
“Go ahead and keep her company. I’ll entertain Mr. Delbert and Miss Harriet here,” she said indifferently, leaving without a glance back.
After she got out of the kitchen, a faint sneer crossed her lips. She mocked her pathetic marriage.
Marc stood in the kitchen, staring at the simmering chicken soup.
He was puzzled by Molly’s sadness.
“Wasn’t it her who schemed her way into being my wife? Why does she want a divorce now?‘ He wondered.
In the end, Marc didn’t go to find Lula. Instead, like a good husband, he sat at the dining table and joined them for the meal.
During the meal, he casually mentioned, “Delbert, Harriet, I have a friend who wants to come and apologize to you tonight. Can you accept her apology for my sake?”

Not until the evening, when they went out, did Harriet understand what Marc
meant.
At Holy Night, Delbert frowned and held Harriet’s hand, following Marc straight to the VIP room on the top floor.
Lula was already there, and sitting next to her was the long–unseen Nora.
Harriet narrowed her eyes with coldness flowing inside.
Obviously, a fierce battle with the two scheming women was awaiting her.
She was going to teach them a lesson they would never forget.
