Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233 

“You don’t like me, do you? Or have you suddenly realized that you don’t like me at all?” Richard started doubting himself again. 

“No, it’s not that. I just feel like things are moving a bit too fast. I’ve never been in a relationship before, so I don’t really know…” Pearl stumbled over her words, her explanation coming out somewhat clumsily, which surprised Richard. 

“You’ve never been in a relationship?” Richard found it hard to believe that Pearl, who appeared so experienced and attractive to men, was actually quite inexperienced and naive when it came to love. 

“What’s the big deal? Are you looking down on me?” Blushing, Pearl didn’t expect Richard to mock her for her lack of romantic experience. 

“Hasn’t anyone ever tried to win your heart?” 

Pearl tilted her head in thought. “Well, I guess a few have tried, but no one has ever succeeded.”

“No, I said I like you.” It was impossible for him not to fall for her, especially considering how she had helped him through multiple crises. Moreover, her confident and radiant smile could charm anyone. 

“Wow, you’re really something to like a woman like me.” 

“Those men who didn’t like you had low self-esteem and didn’t deserve you. But I’m different,” Richard declared confidently, never one to have low self-esteem in front of the woman he liked. 

“So, I want to marry you sooner. Is that okay?” Richard took a step forward and held her hand. “Get engaged to me. Say yes, okay?”
