Chapter 65 Unexpected Reunion
“Harriet, Delbert, you are here.”
Nora descended the stairs with a smile.
There was no trace of animosity toward Harriet on her face. It was all concealed within her gaze. Nora’s hatred was fleeting, but Harriet keenly captured it.
She hadn’t expected Nora to escape from that ship.

“It's been ages. | miss you so much, Nora.”
Harriet grinned innocently.
She walked over and took hold of Nora’s hand.
Nora instinctively wanted to shake off Harriet’s hand, but Delbert stood nearby, watching intently. His obsidian eyes seemed to emanate an icy chill, piercing through her soul and freezing her in place. Nora paused, allowing Harriet to hold her hand and prattle on.

Little did she know that the surprise Nora had prepared for her was...
“Harriet, come and taste the beef stew | cooked for you.”
Vernon emerged from the kitchen, carrying a plate of steaneef stew. He wore a white shirt with slightly rolled-up cuffs. His e were perfectly arched, and he smiled at her like Prince Charmi
Unfortunately, Harriet would no longer be deceived by him.
Now she only found his smile hypocritical and repulsive.
She had been blinded by Vernon’s insincere tenderness, causing harm to Delbert and, ultimately, herself. “Oh, Mr. Delbert is here too. Perfect timing. Let’s all try the food | cooked.”
Vernon greeted Delbert as if he had just noticed his presence.
Delbert was unaware of Harriet’s thoughts, but he noticed that her gaze never left Vernon.
As expected, whenever Vernon appeared, he ceased to exist in her

A faint ache resonated within his heart, but Delbert suppressed it.
