Chapter 88 Harriet Woke up
Delbert’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, and his eyes were

Harriet quickly put the clean pajamas on her, tucked her in again, and immediately walked out.
He came to the guest bedroom, took a cold shower, and lay on the bed, but the girl’s beautiful figure kept appearing in his mind until dawn before he fell asleep…
