Sadie shook her head and reached out to grab him. “Delbert, it’s not sudden. I’m afraid of losing you. I’ve already lost Miriam, and now you’re my only support. I cannot lose you either.” The rims of her eyes reddened.
Delbert sighed heavily and patted her hand. “What are you talking about? How could you lose me?”
“I’m just scared, Delbert. Will you marry me?” Sadie pleaded.
Delbert frowned and thought for a moment. “But your mother just passed away. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for us to get engaged immediately?”
Sadie hesitated for a moment and forced a smile. “If Miriam knew that we were engaged, she would be happy. All she wanted was to see me happy.
“Delbert, I am happy with you. I believe Miriam would be pleased in heaven.”
Delbert forced a smile. “If so, let’s get engaged. Miriam would be happy for us.”
“Delbert, thank you.” Sadie leaned against his chest, unaware of the glint in Delbert’s eyes.
Sadie had already decided on the timing and set the wedding date for a month later.
Now, she was certain that Delbert had really lost his memory.
Otherwise, he would never agree to marry her.
Delbert looked at her confident appearance and smirked.
After a night of revelry, the Bass brothers were still fast asleep. Harriet woke up early the next morning and saw Miriam preparing breakfast.
“Mom!” she called out.
“You’re up. Come and have breakfast.” Miriam pointed to the table and smiled. “Arthur and Andy stayed up all night. They probably won’t wake up this morning.”
Harriet thought of what happened last night and laughed. Her usually strict brothers seemed to have let loose after returning home, just like a group of three-year-old children. “Mom, it’s just the two of us today. Let me take you out for a walk,” Harriet suggested.
“Okay, I haven’t been out for a walk in a long time,” Miriam said happily.
After they finished breakfast, they set off, taking a walk around the vicinity of the villa. Miriam suggested going to the nearby supermarket to see if there was anything they could buy. “Oh, are those Ms. Bass and her mother?”
“Why do they lower themselves to come to a place like this?”
A mocking voice came from behind them. Miriam and Harriet turned around, only to see a middle-aged woman.
Harriet frowned, about to confront the woman, but her friend laughed, taking out her phone. “Don’t you know? They are fake.
“Haven’t you read the news? Felipe has announced Miriam’s death. This woman is an imposter who wants her daughter to enter the Bass family.
“They are delusional and shameless.”
The people gathered around them, joining in the criticism of Harriet and Miriam.
Miriam turned pale and clutched her bag.
Harriet turned livid and glared at the woman.
