Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1054

Disappointed, Gigi bent over to pick up the smashed pieces on the floor.

Suddenly, Damian squatted down beside her. "Be careful," he said gently, showing concern.

Gigi looked up helplessly, tears welling in her eyes.

"Why are you crying? It's just a broken bowl. I'm not mad." Damian tenderly wiped away her tears. But his touch only made her cry harder.

"You cry so easily. It's like a leaky faucet that won't stop," he remarked with a hint of amusement.

Damian had seen her cry many times before. She was a crybaby, and he was used to it. But whenever she cried, he felt he couldn't do much but wait for her to stop.

This time, Gigi cried for a shorter period, which was unusual. After she finished crying, she sniffed and tried to sound more calm. She managed not to twitch at least.

Gigi sniffled, trying to compose herself. "What would you do if it was Pea crying?"

Damian smirked, finding her question hilarious. "She wouldn't cry over something like this."

To him, Pearl was always strong and resilient, like a rose. But Gigi was different, more fragile like a daisy in the wind.

Besides, Gigi cried a lot, which made Damian feel like he couldn't help her.

Gigi shook her head. "She would cry. Just tell me what you would do."

Damian thought about it. What would he do if Pearl cried? For sure, he would hug her and try to make her feel better, even though comforting people wasn't his strong suit.

Damian suddenly felt very sorry for her. He truly felt bad, but he knew he couldn't let that show. Otherwise, she might misunderstand him.

He couldn't give her something he didn't have.

"It's okay. Just be careful next time," he said stiffly, retreating upstairs to hide his conflicted feelings.

He didn't know how to stop this inexperienced young woman, but he knew he couldn't let her go any further.

He started to regret giving her a month to try to win him over. She might become too attached.

As Damian closed the door behind him, he heard the sound of running water and muffled sobs from the kitchen. Guilt almost overwhelmed him, but he couldn't allow himself to give in to those emotions.
