Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675

"Stay. We're going to clear this up today," Richard asserted firmly.

Frowning, Hugo's face turned cold. "She said she doesn't want to go with you, so stop making things difficult."

Richard frowned too. 'Where did you hear that I'm making things difficult for her?"

Pearl, sensing the escalating tension, attempted to intervene. "Stop arguing. I have a solution!"

Both men stopped glaring at each other and turned to look at her. "You have a solution?"

"If both of you don't stop this, I'll live on my own, alright?"

"No!" They both protested simultaneously, thwarting her plan instantly.

Pearl was about to argue further when she suddenly felt unwell. This sensation acted as a wake up call, shattering her train of thought.

She was very annoyed when Hugo remained obstinate. "You promised to treat my mother. Are you going to break your promise?"

Hugo raised his brows. "But I also mentioned that you must be engaged to me before | proceed with her treatment."

Pear] relented. "Sure, let's do it now!"

Richard's eyes grew somber, his brows slightly furrowed, and a subtle watery glimmer seemed to shimmer in his dark irises.

Could it be... Richard was... crying?

Pearl noticed the glistening in his eyes and experienced a pang of heartache. Had she been too harsh? She had never witnessed Richard cry or appear so vulnerable.

"Let me ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to get engaged to Hugo without considering other consequences?"

Pearl clenched her jaw and replied, "I don't want to repeat myself so let's not waste everyone's time."

Ahint of sorrow surfaced on Richard's despondent face, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Very well, since you said so, then I'll accept it."
