Chapter 38 A Show
Harriet’s scream echoed through the air, causing Delbert to panic.
He swiftly turned around, only to discover that Harriet had dropped her lunch box, while Tucker, the mischievous culprit, sniffed at the fallen egg with great excitement.
Disgusted by the taste, the dog stuck out its tongue and stepped aside.
Harriet groaned at its disrespect for her cooking skills.
Delbert couldn’t bring himself to blame the dog.
After all, Tucker was like a son to him.
While fierce at times, Tucker would never do anything to displease Harriet.
Delbert fixed his gaze on Harriet, who looked at the broken lunchbox with a sad expression.
Sensing his gaze, she looked up at him.
Her nose tingled, and her eyelashes trembled as she blinked away the
tears.
Within seconds, she transformed into a pitiful figure, crying out loud.
Tears streamed down her fair face, evoking sympathy.
Harriet knew that by crying like this, Delbert would forget his anger and attend to her every need, just as in her previous life.
Crying with grievance, she accused Delbert amid sobs.

“Delbert, bad boy. You broke my lunchbox. I don’t like you anymore.”
True to her expectations, Delbert couldn’t stay mad before her tears.
Ignoring the fact that Tucker was responsible for the broken lunchbox, he now only wanted to console this little princess as quickly as possible.
He just couldn’t bear to see her in distress.
“Alright, stop crying. You look ugly when you cry.”
Delbert rarely had the patience to coax a woman, but for Harriet, he was willing to make an exception.
The sight of her sad look pricked his heart.
‘Shouldn’t I be protecting her? Why did I make her cry?’ He thought.
Overcoming his mysophobia, Delbert wiped away her tears with his
sleeve.
But then he noticed that her tears seemed to multiply and would not stop falling.
“I’m not ugly. You are!” Harriet claimed, though her words.
contradicted the beautiful face in front of her.
Delbert found it both funny and annoying. He softly coaxed her, Alright, I’m ugly. Can I stop crying?”
“I can stop crying, but you have to listen to me and do whatever I say.”
Harriet choked with sobs, persistently seeking Delbert’s assurance.
“Okay, I promise you!”
Delbert couldn’t possibly refuse. He would agree to whatever Harriet asked of him.
