Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1053

Whatever! Damian didn't have to eat the food if he didn't like it.

Gigi took off her apron and sat down. As soon as she started eating, she made a face.

She had put too much sugar in the roast pork. It was way too sweet.

Damian noticed Gigi's reaction and decided to join her. Although he usually didn't mind sweet stuff, this pork was oddly sweet.

"Look at this pork…" But seeing Gigi look sad, he quickly added, "It's okay. I was just saying something. Try again next time. It's not too bad."

Gigi touched her chin hesitantly. She knew she was a decent cook but had tried to make something new to impress Damian, but she ended up messing it up. Roast pork was always a tough one for her.

"Just don't make it if it's hard—"

Damian tried to be helpful, but Gigi cut him off. "No, I can do it."

She felt the same way about him. She was determined to win him over.

"Why do you have to trouble yourself so much, Gigi?" Damian understood what she meant but wanted to prevent her from wasting her effort.

He would never fall in love with her, no matter how hard she tried.

Gigi looked somber but didn't back down. "How do you know you won't like me if you don't give it a chance?"

"Do I have to? I don't like you, and that won't change, no matter what. Plus, don't you know I like—" Damian stopped himself before saying Pearl's name.

Damian sneered, which made her lose her nerve. Her fingers started trembling.

"Go on." Damian tilted his head and looked at her, his expression calm but scornful, as if she was just a silly joke.

"I... That's all I wanted to say."

Then, Gigi let go. The warmth in her palms made her feel weak.

"I'll do the dishes."

Feeling anxious, she accidentally dropped a bowl, smashing it.
