Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 635

Chapter 635 

Pearl turned on her heel and took a few steps toward Richard, locking eyes with him. “Are you out of your mind, Richard? Why didn’t I know about your peculiar taste when we were together? I never thought you’d set foot in a place like this.” 

Pearl’s disappointment was palpable as she thought of his possible involvement with such establishments. 

However, Richard didn’t directly address her accusation but instead mocked her. “I never imagined you’d end up working as an escort in a place like this.” 

His skill at turning the tables left Pearl momentarily speechless. Feeling like she couldn’t outwit him in an argument, she attempted to break free and flee. 

Richard saw through her intentions, though. As she turned to leave, he grabbed her collar, and his voice turned cold. “Where are you going? To serve someone else?” 

“I’d serve anyone but you!” Pearl, feeling insulted out of the blue, turned back and bit his hand with all her might. Though she was certain she had bitten down hard, Richard didn’t flinch. 

“Answer my question.” 

“What is there to answer?” Anxious and tearful, Pearl retorted, “What’s going on in your head, Richard? You’ve declared you no longer love me, admitted that our relationship is beyond repair, canceled our engagement, and pushed me away. Isn’t it ironic for you to say this now?” 

Richard rarely saw her cry or lose control of her emotions. But now, her face was covered in tears, and she was yelling at him. His heart ached, and he realized that everything she said was true, that he was indeed the problem. 

Slowly, Richard released her and examined the bite marks on his hand, his brows furrowing. 

Recognizing her lapse in self–control, Pearl took a deep breath and calmly said, “I got carried away earlier. Just pretend you didn’t hear any of it.” 

“It’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with you saying that,” Richard replied. 

When Pearl heard that, she immediately felt a distance between them. “If there’s nothing else, I really should return to work.” She began to adopt a more polite and distant demeanor. 

Richard didn’t like that. When he initially lost his feelings for her, he disliked how she tried to get closer to him. But now that she was distant, he began to feel anxious, as if her departure would be bad for him. 

” 

As Pearl prepared to leave once more, Richard seized her wrist, deciding to follow his heart. Don’t go 

and flirt with other men.” The thought of her smiling at other men, or even sleeping with them… made his blood boil. 

Pearl was annoyed and shook his hand away. “Who are you to me? Why are you trying to control me? I just lost my first customer because of you.” 

First customer? That meant she hadn’t slept with anyone yet. 

Richard was relieved when he realized that. He gazed into her eyes, his expression solemn.
