Chapter 80 Heartbroken in the Rain “Get out of the car!” Delbert ordered coldly. “Delbert, I’m not going to get out. I’m going to stay with you!” Harriet said meekly, slowly shaking her head.
She thought playing coquettish would work, but in Delbert’s eyes, the strategy was too ordinary because it had been used too frequently. And he had to break the habit of being soft when seeing this.
“Don't force me to throw you off!”
Delbert maintained a cold face, as frosty as the snow-covered landscape.
But Harriet stubbornly refused to leave the car, keeping a straight face.
Delbert hardened his heart and shouted through gritted teeth, “Cory!”
Seeing Delbert’s dark face, Cory dared not delay and promptly got out of the car, opening the door. “Madam, please.”
“No, I’m not going to!”
Faced with Delbert’s harsh words, Harriet’s heart clenched in pain.
She continued her feeble struggle, fingers tightly gripping the car door. In the end, Delbert heartlessly pried open each of her fingers, and Cory unwillingly took her out.
At that moment, Harriet felt as if Delbert had shattered her sincere heart into irreparable pieces.
“From now on, stay three meters away from me! And remember,

family and Vernon vanish completely from Meawood City!”
As Delbert spoke, endless pain filled his eyes, visible to Harriet.
Was it dislike or hatred?
Did Delbert dislike or hate her?
“Delbert, | won’t escape. I'll listen to you from now on. | won’t let you back me up. Please don’t dislike me, okay?” Harriet clung to a thread of hope, believing that if she submitted, he would calm down.
She presented herself with the humblest demeanor she could, but Delbert thought everything she did was for Vernon's sake, so he didn’t want to hear another word from her. He slammed the car door shut, completely isolating Harriet from his world.
At this moment, he couldn’t bear to look at her, fearing he would lose
control or relent.
“Cory, drive to Holy Night,” he ordered coldly, trying hard to su ess the melancholy in his voice. Not daring to delay, Cory stepped on the accelerator with full and the car sped away.
“Don't go, Delbert!”
Harriet panicked, chasing after Delbert’s car. Tears veiled her eyes,
and her voice trembled.
Yet, the car never stopped, swiftly disappearing from her sight.
As Delbert sat in the car, watching Harriet’s fading figure through the window, his throat felt sour, and his heart ached. He had to leave. If he stayed, he would surely succumb to his inner

Only after a long time had passed since Delbert’s departure did Harriet stop her pursuit. In despair, she lowered her head, walking mechanically along the beach.
Unknowingly, the sky had turned gray.
Soon, a torrential rain poured down, casting an even more ominous hue on the dusk. When Harriet snapped out of her trance, she was drenched from head to toe.
It was only at this moment that she realized she had walked into the dense forest behind the island, an area she had never set foot in before.
This island was surprisingly large. Aside from Delbert’s villa and Tucker's territory on the hill’s back, the entire remainder was covered by a dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Now, she was undeniably deep into the forest, with the sky growing darker, rain pouring, and a biting chill settling in. Not daring to linger, she turned to go back.
The sky darkened further, and she walked on but didn’t see the beach on her way back.
But she was walking back along the same path, wasn’t she? Why did it feel like she was moving in circles?
