Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1482

The nurse nodded and asked Dante to wait outside. After she finished, Dante returned to the room, holding Joelle's favorite chocolate cake.

"Here," he said. "Why didn't you scream when you were hurt? How could you stop me from calling him out after how he treated you?"

Joelle stuffed her mouth with cake and mumbled, "It doesn't hurt that much. You're friends, so why would you start arguing over something so pointless?"

"You're so silly!" Dante sat next to her and gently tapped her head. "What do you mean pointless?"

"You grew up together. Arguing over something so petty would tear you apart."

Dante scoffed. "I'm not close to him anyway."

"Okay, why don't we come up with a plan? I might need to stay here longer after this. You need to explain to my parents."

Dante looked at her. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it."

Joelle noticed something different in his smile and felt uneasy.

"You just need to pack up and marry me."

Joelle immediately understood his intention. That was why he accepted her request so easily.

If she stayed at Dante's place for too long, people would wonder about their relationship. And what about Darius? Did he think she liked Dante?

Joelle lowered her head, and the cake didn't taste sweet anymore. It even tasted a little bitter.

"What's wrong? Why are you sulking all of a sudden?" Dante noticed she wasn't happy and said, "Okay, I was just joking. If you don't like that idea, I'll give them another reason so they don't suspect anything."

Dante raised his eyebrows proudly. "See, that's my charm."

"Please." Joelle rolled her eyes and turned to walk away while Dante chased after her.

"Where are you headed? Let me drive you there," he said.

"Okay, please drive me to the station."

After what happened, Joelle didn't want to take a cab alone anymore, and since she had a free driver, she wouldn't say no.

She had talked to her boss about returning to work and would be starting today.
