Chapter 168

The well-tailored aqua blue evening gown perfectly accentuated Harriet’s curves, and the diamond-

studded hem of the skirt shone brightly, complementing the fair and slender legs beneath the skirt.

“You look gorgeous today,” Delbert smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Harriet pouted, “So, does it mean that I wasn’t beautiful before?”

Delbert ruffled her hair, his expression even tenderer, “Of course not. You’re beautiful every day.”

“That’s more like it!” Harriet tilted her chin proudly, like an unparalleled

queen.

“Cory has been waiting outside for a long time. Let’s go!” Delbert slightly shook his head with a smile

and took Harriet’s hand as they left the mansion.

On the beach outside the mansion, Cory was standing respectfully in front of Delbert’s luxury car, while

Opal was helping to load the luggage into the trunk.

After Harriet and Delbert got into the car, Cory started the engine, and the car slowly left the island.

In a while, they arrived at the Carlson family’s old mansion.

This was Harriet’s second visit here.

After parking the car on the large lawn, Cory got out and opened the door to let them out.

Sam, the butler of the old mansion, immediately greeted them respectfully and smiled at Harriet and

Delbert.

“Mr. Delbert, Miss Harriet, please come in and have a seat!”

After giving him a nod in acknowledgment, Delbert tightly held Harriet’s hand and walked into the

courtyard of the old mansion.

In the living hall, because of the Mr. Carlson Sr.’s 80th birthday, it was decorated with a touch of

warmth and less grandeur.

As soon as they entered, Monica came out to welcome Delbert.

Today she was wearing a fiery red evening gown, exuding an air of pride and arrogance like a fiery

princess.

“Hi, Delbert, you’re finally here. Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time,” she said sweetly to

Delbert but didn’t even look at Harriet beside him.

She refused to acknowledge this silly sister-in-law.

After giving her a nod, Delbert continued to hold Harriet’s hand tightly as they walked into the living

room. He completely ignored Monica.

Monica was furious and locked eyes with Harriet. Neither of them was willing to yield.

The atmosphere became tense in an instant.

In the living room, Mr. Carlson Sr. sat on a handmade armchair, waiting for them.

Although it had been a long time since they had seen each other, he was still in good spirits.

His eyes were full of wisdom and vitality, and his majestic presence almost overshadowed everyone

present.

Mr. Carlson Sr. grinned as he watched Delbert and Harriet come in.

He was very pleased to see them getting along so well. It seemed that his decision to let them cultivate

their relationship on the island

Now they were just waiting for the wedding in half a month.

Smiling, Harriet walked slowly up to Mr. Carlson Sr. and sweetly said, ” Nice to see you, Mr. Carlson Sr.

How are you doing?”

Mr. Carlson Sr. beamed and reached out his hand to Harriet.

“Come here, Harriet! Let me have a look at you. How have you been living with Delbert on the island?”

Harriet quickly took hold of his hand and smiled foolishly. “We lived happily on the island!”

Mr. Carlson Sr. Was more displeased, “That’s good! Glad to know!”

While there was laughter and joy here, Delbert had no expression on his face as he asked Mr. Carlson

Sr., “Grandpa, it’s your 80th birthday today. Why is Kenny absent?”
