The Darling of the Paranoid Tycoon by Cheryl Rice novel Chapter 4

The next day, at dawn, the man snapped open his eyes and burst with coldness. 

Looking around, his gaze softened when it fell on the sleeping woman beside him. 

He was used to getting up at six o’clock, but today he was late by half an hour. 

Perhaps it was because he finally had the girl he had been longing for all these years. 

But when he saw the marks on her body, his heart ached. 

Delbert knew that he had forced Harriet against her will last night. Thinking of her resistance and tears, he felt great remorse. 

But he had to do this to keep her by his side and protect her. 

Although he was mad about being drugged, it had unexpectedly helped him. 

Now he was going back to tell his grandfather that he had accidentally taken the chastity of the eldest daughter of the Munoz family. He would demand a replacement for the bride. 

From beginning to end, Delbert had only wanted one person, and that was Harriet. 

Looking at the sleeping girl, he leaned over to smooth her furrowed brows and whispered seriously, “Yvonne, I will take responsibility for this.” 

Then he quietly got up and prepared to leave. 

His men had knocked out the people in the Munoz family when they sneaked into their house last night. 

Now he could leave with peace of mind. 

Harriet woke up when it was broad daylight. 

She felt as if she had been run over by a truck. 

After opening her eyes, she habitually reached out to touch the spot beside her, just like in her previous life. 

But it was empty. 

Delbert had already left. 

She wasn’t sure if he knew what he had done to her last night. 

But his unhesitating departure confirmed her speculation.
