The Broken Warrior's Daughter

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. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

"Harriet, it's time to get up."

Harriet rubbed her groggy eyes and then reached out, hooking her arm around Delbert's neck.

Delbert lifted Harriet into his arms and led her to the washbasin.

Under Delbert's urging, Harriet slowly opened her eyes.

"Don't fall asleep again. We have things to do today, Harriet. Don't forget."

After this reminder from Delbert, Harriet suddenly remembered that she was now the general manager of Levi's company.

If she delayed any longer, she might be late for work.

She hurriedly washed up and changed into formal attire.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I almost overslept."

At her words, Delbert couldn't help but chuckle.

"I saw you sleeping so peacefully. I didn't have the heart to wake you up. But it's okay. There's still plenty of time. Even if we head to the company now, we'll make it on time."

Delbert personally drove Harriet to the company that day.

After getting out of the car, Harriet quickly tidied herself up.

Everything was in order as she confidently entered the company.

Now serving as Harriet's assistant, Delbert conducted himself as a true gentleman and always had Harriet's best interests at heart.

Upon entering the company, many people greeted Harriet with respect.

The absence of Garry had changed how others treated Harriet with more deference.

However, just as she stepped out of the elevator doors, the secretary brought a stack of documents over.

"Ms. Harriet, these are the documents you need to review today. The representatives for the collaboration are already waiting in the conference room."

Harriet nodded and opened the documents.

It suddenly dawned on her that today was the day to sign a contract with the Bass Group represented by Sadie.

With all the recent commotion involving Garry and Wendell, she had forgotten about Sadie's involvement.
