Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1015

The thing she promised the other day? What was it?

To... have a baby?

Suddenly remembering her conversation with him at the hospital, Pearl said tentatively, "I think it's too sudden. Can we delay it and talk about it more?"

She hesitated. She wasn't mentally prepared for such a big decision.

But Richard couldn't wait any longer. He covered her eyes with one hand and pulled her into his arms with the other, planting gentle kisses on her lips.

"Pearl... let's have a baby."

Pearl's heart raced as she moaned softly, succumbing to his touch. He moved on top of her, his gaze intense.

She closed her eyes, lost in the moment, as the thunder roaring outside masked the intimate moment in the room.

The next morning, Pearl woke up feeling sore all over.

She silently cursed Richard for his intensity the night before. He had been insatiable, calling out her name repeatedly as if he wanted to drown her thoughts.

As Pearl lay in bed, lost in her thoughts, Richard entered the room carrying a tray of breakfast. On the tray, there was an exquisite sandwich and a glass of warm milk.

"You're awake? Did you sleep well last night?" he asked, trying to gauge her mood.

Pearl shook her head. "A month is already pushing it for me. I was thinking more like six months."

She was adamant about giving her body time to recover from the pain. The pain was so intense that she wept, her sobs masked by the thunder. Despite her cries becoming hoarse, Richard showed no mercy.

"Be lenient." Richard nudged her back, his hair tickling her neck.

"Richard, you didn't watch your strength!" Pearl huffed.

"It was my first time. I'll be careful next time," Richard explained gently.

His words caught Pearl off guard. "You're a virgin?"
