Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 740

Silas's expression turned somber. "Why?"

"Okay, it's getting late. You should go. I'm really fine so you don't need to worry." Pearl gently pushed him, signaling that it was time for him to go. She was determined to maintain some distance.

Silas didn't want to force her, knowing that pursuing someone required patience. He bid her goodbye with a hint of sadness and left, taking the medicine with him.

As he walked past a trash can on the street, he tossed the bag inside, finding it to be a rather lame gesture.

That night, Pearl had a disturbing dream. She dreamt of Silas, his hands around her neck, his eyes bloodshot, and his body tense, attempting to harm her. In her dream, she was even forced into a marriage she didn't want.

When she woke up, she felt sweat on her forehead and her heart racing. Although it was just a dream, given Silas's unpredictable behavior, it didn't seem entirely implausible to her. She decided it was time to make a decision for her own good.

Pearl went to the garage, a piece of toast in her mouth, and was surprised to find Silas there, looking unusually neat and cheerful with a smile she hadn't seen before.

"Good morning, Pea! Your bodyguard is here to escort you to work," he greeted her cheerfully.

Pearl was still in shock, so seeing him now did little to improve her mood. "Okay, but I don't want to ride in your car today."

"You've rejected me 66 times. I'm used to this," Silas replied with a playful tone. He then turned stylishly and extended his hand to her. "Miss Gorgeous, would you grace me with a ride today?"

"Don't bother trying those random techniques you pick up from who-knows-where on me," Pearl retorted, noticing his flirtatious actions and feeling the urge to slap his hand.

However, instead of his usual reaction, Silas maintained his bright smile. "Oh, did you catch the news?"
