Chapter 9 Confrontation ‘Delbert?’ Harriet was both surprised and delighted to see Delbert.
She was surprised by his action in saving her, and she was delighted to see him at the engagement party. Did it mean he was willing to marry her?
The light from the chandeliers cast a dangerous allure over his well- defined face and imposing figure.
His bushy brows, deep eyes, and sensuous lips were all works of God.
The guests gasped in awe. ‘No noble sons in Meawood City can compare to this man. Who is he?’
“Silly girl, have you seen enough?”
Delbert was amused by Harriet’s dazed look.
He bent down to whisper in her ear. His hoarse voice carried an
irresistible charm.
In repose, his countenance possessed an uncommon beauty. When he smiled, it was akin to the gentle warmth of a breeze. His voice brought Harriet back to reality.
His tenderness brought a renewed rush of color to her cheeks, causing even the tips of her ears to take on a tempting shade of red.
His intense gaze tugged at her heartstrings, and she almost lost control. Harriet reacted promptly, gaping at him while saying, “Sir, do you have TUI

Delbert was delighted by her first-ever compliment on his looks. “What is this? Why don’t | have it? This isn’t fair.”
She touched Delbert’s Adam’s apple.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
It felt soft and sensual.
Her action triggered something inside him.
Delbert’s breathing became unsteady, and his eyes darkened.
Before he could speak, Harriet puckered her tender lips.
The taste of them seemed to linger in his mind. Delbert concealed the lust in his eyes, planning to coax the girl when someone shouted out.
“What's wrong with you? You've splashed wine on me!” The wine had ended up on Nora’s dress, and the surrounding people started to record the spectacle. Embarrassed, Nora snatched a shawl from a lesser-known lady nearby to cover her chest.
Then she stormed forward to confront Delbert.
Delbert had his back to her, and she didn’t know who he was.
Even so, his action in saving Harriet was a challenge to her. She decided to teach him a lesson.
“Hmm?”
Annoyed by the interruption, Delbert looked back and pursed his lips into a thin line.
Just one glance from him made Nora freeze and blush.
Mingling in the high society of Meawood City for so many years, she had never seen such a refined man before.
His presence caught the most attention, and the arrogant Nora couldn’t tear her eyes away from him.
“I'm talking to you. Do you know who | am? | am Nora, the second daughter of the Munoz family. Apologize to me now!”
