Chapter 262


Currently, Delbert was so close. His breath was warm, which made Harriet’s ear itch a bit, and a blush crept up where her hair covered.


“Can you let go of me first?”


Harriet struggled slightly and reminded him softly.


Delbert reluctantly let go, but when he saw her sneakily look back, her furtive appearance made him chuckle. Just as the couple developed a little chemistry, they were interrupted by Delbert and Harriet.


Marc had no choice but to reluctantly let go of Molly. He was about to say something to break the awkward atmosphere, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them down.

Next to it was an inscription — “Those who enter, die!”


Marc intentionally broke the awkward atmosphere between him and Molly, so he joked, “This sentence really ruins the atmosphere and makes this haunted house seem not scary at all!”


Unexpectedly, Molly responded with a light laugh, “Yeah, this sentence does indeed ruin the atmosphere.” The three of them weren’t afraid, but Harriet was.


Harriet forced a smile, then followed Delbert’s footsteps slowly into the house. The farther they went, the darker it became, and Harriet subconsciously clutched Delbert’s clothes.


Delbert felt her movement behind him and silently smiled. He knew she was scared. As they continued walking, the architecture became increasingly antique, with terrifying directions on the side.


Delbert casually chose a path according to the directions. Harriet

Delbert indulgently smiled and soothingly patted her hea Harriet, don’t be afraid. Trust me. I'll definitely lead you out.” “I'll definitely lead you out?”


Whether it was a memory that dawned on her or the dark enclosed environment that made Harriet have an illusion, she saw a blurry image before her eyes.
