Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1348

Seeing the misunderstanding, Darius tried to explain, "Mom, it's not what you think."

Still, Pearl comforted him by rubbing his head and then turned to glare at Richard, who seemed bewildered. "Don't worry. I'll handle this."

"If you're being threatened, just blink."

Darius blinked involuntarily.

"See, he's being threatened!" Pearl exclaimed.

"Mom, blinking is just a normal thing."

Pearl was speechless. Either way, Pearl couldn't stand it when she saw her son upset.

At that moment, Richard's gaze met Pearl's, carrying an emotion she couldn't quite grasp. Before she could say anything, he said sadly, "I didn't expect that after coming all this way to find you, you would treat me like this."

Knowing that Pearl responded better to gentleness than harshness, Richard deliberately portrayed himself as hurt and disappointed.

Seeing him like this, Pearl couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to him. "Well, that's not what I meant…"

The two of them were immersed in their world, neither willing to let go.

"So what now?" Pearl asked, deflating as she realized she couldn't resist him physically.

"I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to hug you," Richard explained, finally letting go but keeping his hand on her waist.

At that moment, Luther approached and saw Richard making moves on Pearl, who appeared uncomfortable. Anger burned silently within him.
