Chapter 38 A Show Harriet’s scream echoed through the air, causing Delbert to panic.

Delbert couldn’t bring himself to blame the dog.

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

Within seconds, she transformed into a pitiful figure, crying out loud.

Tears streamed down her fair face, evoking sympathy.

‘Shouldn't | be protecting her? Why did | 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 | stop crying?” “| can stop crying, but you have to listen to me and do whatever | say.”

Harriet choked with sobs, persistently seeking Delbert’s assurance.

“Okay, | promise you!”

Delbert couldn’t possibly refuse. He would agree to whatever Harriet asked of him.

And so, the first thing Harriet requested was for Delbert to back her

up at home.
