Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 

Blake gulped. He braced himself for an impending blow from Richard, expecting a direct punch any moment. 

Unexpectedly, Richard’s expression shifted to one of hurt, a hint of pain visible in his eyes. Wifey, he started it.” 

Pearl was rattled to the core. Was Richard trying to act coquettish? 

Standing by Blake, Glenn mirrored his astonishment, their jaws practically hitting the floor. This tall, strong man behaving coyly was an unforeseen twist. 

Hold on… “wifey”? 

Pearl pointedly thumped Richard’s head. “We’re not married yet. Don’t call me that randomly. 

“It’s just a matter of time,” Richard smirked, oozing confidence that he had ways to handle her. 

Glenn couldn’t contain his shock any longer. With an inexplicable tinge of sadness in his eyes, he stood up. “I need to attend to something. I’ll leave first.” With those words, he departed abruptly. 

Richard and Pearl had their own matters to tend to, so they left as well, leaving Blake to rest undisturbed. 

As he watched the two exit the room, Blake’s smile vanished as he made a call. “Come back. I know you’re still here.” 

After a while, Glenn re-entered the ward, the scent of smoke clinging to him, his eyes slightly red. “How did you know I didn’t leave?” 

“Tsk.” Blake chuckled, finding it amusing. “I know you too well. Your eyes were practically glued to Pearl. If I couldn’t figure out your thoughts, then what’s the point of being good friends with you for so long?” 

“But Pearl has a boyfriend, and they seem quite compatible. My feelings don’t matter.” Glenn sighed bitterly. He never intended to compete with Richard, but seeing the two as a couple made him incredibly uncomfortable. It wasn’t just discomfort he felt; it was jealousy. 

“By right, I should support your pursuit of happiness, but you know Pearl. Once she decides on something, she sticks to it, and no one can change her mind.” Blake sighed, continuing, “Plus, Grandpa has found more suitable matches for Pearl and wants to introduce them to her. Richard might face many obstacles.” 

“I’m fine, I know it’s impossible. I’ll slowly let go.” Glenn shook his head. 

Blake nudged his arm, “Wanna drink?” 

“Yeah, sure!” 

After days of sobriety, Glenn finally relented. 

As Pearl and Richard settled into the car, the latter wore a sullen expression, unwilling to converse much with Pearl. 

“Why are you upset again?” Pearl struggled to comprehend Richard’s mood swings. Since they became a couple, his emotions had been unpredictable, making him inscrutable. 

“He likes you,” Richard said gloomily.
