Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1463

Joelle frowned when she smelled the alcohol on Darius. "Dar, why did you drink so much?"

Darius looked at her and suddenly grinned brightly. "It's because I like..."

Joelle couldn't hear him well and leaned closer without thinking.

Suddenly, Darius pulled her into his arms. The strong smell of alcohol made her dizzy. He bent over and whispered in her ear, "I finally found you..."

At last, Joelle heard him clearly. She wondered what he meant by that. Angry, she thought that drunk Darius had mistaken her for someone else.

She tried hard to push him away, but he held on tight. He even buried his head deeper into her shoulder.

Her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat, and she pulled back a little when she noticed his rosy lips from drinking. "You're drunk. Get up," she said.

Darius shook his head, acting like a stubborn child. "No, I'm not drunk. Don't move, okay? I want to hug you. I didn't have the chance, and I didn't dare to before. But now, I can hug you. Don't be mad. Don't blame me, okay..."

Darius spoke incoherently. Then, without thinking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. Surprised, he blurted out, "Elle."

Joelle's eyes widened in disbelief. "What are you doing, Dar?"

She couldn't believe that Darius, who usually took great care of her and respected her, would do such a thing. A strong feeling of shame filled her.

Joelle finally realized she was being fooled after linking Jessica's words to what had happened. Her anger grew. She pushed Darius towards Jessica. "Please take care of him. It's late. I should go home."

Stunned and helpless, Jessica asked Joelle to be careful before she supported Darius and walked away unsteadily.

Watching their backs, Joelle vigorously rubbed her lips. For some unknown reason, bitterness rose in her.

Before she realized what was happening, she started crying profusely. Her tears fell on the ground, filling her with despair and bitterness.

Darius was a bad guy. From that day on, Joelle decided to ignore him forever.
