Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 234

Chapter 234 

Pearl was rendered speechless by Richard’s flirtatiousness. 

“So, I want to be with you and get engaged sooner. You can’t run away from me for the rest of your life then,” Richard continued, his tone filled with determination. 

Taking advantage of a brief pause in their conversation, Pearl managed to sl*p out of his embrace. “Do you still remember my words, Richard?” 

Enlightened, Richard stopped trying to hold her. “You asked me to win you over before being my girlfriend.” 

“Yeah, that’s right. I believe two people in a healthy relationship should take the time to get to know each other before deciding if they’re right for each other. Do you understand where I’m coming from?” 

Richard nodded. “Yes, I won’t force you anymore.” 

“Thank you.” Pearl finally smiled at him. “Please take good care of me, my future boyfriend.” She then extended her hand to shake hands with him, but he pulled her into his arms again. 

“I’ll be waiting for you to say yes.” With that, he k*ssed her tenderly, as if he were confident of his victory. 

Pearl found herself unable to forget that passionate k*ss even after she had returned to her bedroom, leading to a restless 

night. 

The following morning, she woke up late and was greeted by a heated argument downstairs before she could even make it 

down the stairs. 

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she asked Dustan, who seemed furious, “What happened, Mister Dustan?” 

However, Dustan appeared greatly infuriated, slamming his hand on the table and yelling into his phone, “Come home now, Hugo!” 

Pearl couldn’t help but wonder what had driven Hugo to infuriate Dustan so much, especially since he was usually docile around others. Before she could ponder it further, she heard Hugo’s indifferent voice responding, “Don’t meddle in my business, Dad. You’ve always cared more about Richard than you have about me.” 

“What nonsense, Hugo! Listen, come home now!” Dustan demanded. 

Though Hugo initially refused, he eventually relented, saying, “Fine, I’ll come home later.”
