Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618 

Sean gave an understanding smile and let go of Pearl’s hand. “Okay, I’ll stop teasing you. Let’s go.” 

Pearl had been maintaining some distance from Sean to prevent any inappropriate behavior. ” We may be pretending to be a couple, but that doesn’t mean we need to be glued together.” 

Sean abruptly stopped and turned to face her with a smirk. 

“Sean.” Finally, Pearl had reached her limit. “I think pretending to be a couple for a day is unnecessary.” 

Sean was stunned because of her sudden outburst, but then a mocking smile crossed his face. ” That has always been my idea.” 

Confusion flickered in Pearl’s eyes. “You don’t even like me, so why would you want to be my boyfriend?” 

Sean burst into laughter. “Who told you that? My feelings for you are probably even stronger than Richard’s.” 

Naturally, Pearl couldn’t believe her ears. “But you’ve never shown any sign of liking me.” 

“Of course not. By the time I realized my feelings for you, you were already in a complicated relationship with Richard,” Sean explained. “Back then, I couldn’t compete with Richard so I kept my feelings hidden.” 

On the day she had helped him out of his predicament and comforted him, he had realized his feelings for her. However, with Richard’s obvious affection for Pearl and Pearl’s own feelings for him, Sean had chosen not to humiliate himself by openly pursuing her. 

Although he generally loved to fight against Richard, he knew that he could never get Pearl. Hence, he buried those feelings deeply. 

“So, you’re saying?” Pearl inquired. 

“I’m not asking for a long–term relationship or marriage,” Sean clarified. “I just want to be your boyfriend for a day, fulfill a wish, and then put an end to my feelings.” It was clear to him that he could never truly be with Pearl. 

Standing in the bustling crowd, they locked eyes in silence. 

Pearl could see the pain in Sean’s eyes. “Alright, I understand,” she replied after taking a deep breath. “Our paths were never meant to cross.” 

She had initially disliked Sean’s character before she fell in love with Richard. They were like two parallel lines destined to lead separate lives. 

Similarly, Sean took a deep breath. “I’ve come to terms with it. No need to rub it in.” He looked disheartened as he shrugged helplessly. 

Pearl could tell he had accepted the reality, so she offered a faint smile. “But since you want to be my boyfriend for a day, I’ll grant your wish. It’s my final gift to you as a friend.” 

His gloomy eyes brightened at her words. However, they dimmed when he heard that it was her final gift.
