See! There was no way that Victor was going to remain like he was at the end of Chapter 6:
My own spirits were high, and I bounded along with feelings of unbridled joy and hilarity.

This description is from Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, canto 3, stanza 62, line 2:
But these recede. Above me are the Alps,
The palaces of Nature, whose vast walls
Have pinnacled in clouds their snowy scalps,
And throned Eternity in icy halls
Of cold sublimity, where forms and falls
The avalanche—the thunderbolt of snow!
All that expands the spirit, yet appals,
Gathers around these summits, as to show
How Earth may pierce to Heaven, yet leave vain man below.

Clerval taught Frankenstein to appreciate the nature around him, and suddenly everything seems perfect in Victor’s life.
Note how the Ancient Mariner in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner had to first appreciate the creatures around him before his curse was lifted:
O happy living things! no tongue
Their beauty might declare:

Ok, things never get this good without taking a turn… especially when we’re only 6 chapters into a novel, and this thing is on the loose somewhere:
If Victor’s unbridled joy didn’t make you nervous about the next few events, you need to pay more attention!
Although he’s joyous at this point in time , the readers as well as myself may sense some foreshadowing of a dark event forthcoming given that we are only in the early chapters of the novel and there is much more to go still.
is there going to be a rising issue that disturbs his momentary happiness ?
Will there be a dramatic turning point ?
Will something go wrong ?
All sorts of questions would be going through a readers mind and in a way the end of this chapter acts as a sort of cliff hanger !
