Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 860

Finally, the Jordan family decided on a simple funeral for Beah, in line with her humble nature.

On the day of the burial, Ezra made a rare appearance, joining the procession to witness Beah's interment. Overcome with grief, he couldn't contain his emotions and wept openly until he fainted by her grave.

Pearl attended the funeral discreetly but chose not to conceal herself during the ceremony. With her departure back to Enswood and the time for news from Bodgow to reach Enswood, she saw no need for secrecy.

After bidding Ezra farewell, Pearl and Blake returned to Enswood. They arrived just on the eve of Richard and Winona's wedding.

Winona was in high spirits, excited about her wedding to Richard the next day. Her nerves prevented her from sleeping, prompting her to call Richard.

"Hello," Richard answered.

Winona sounded softer at the familiar voice. "Rick, I'm a little nervous. I can't sleep."

Richard patiently reassured her. "Why not? We're going to get married tomorrow. Sleep early. If not, how are you going to handle it?"

"Rick, do you ever regret choosing me?" Winona ventured, her anxiety spilling over after months of restraint. She had been meaning to ask that, but she was worried it might infuriate Richard.

Richard's response was gentle. "Haven't I already answered that question?"

Feeling overwhelmed with indescribable emotions, his heart rate surged in an instant, yet he maintained a stoic expression.

Pearl had been outside for quite a while, and given that Richard's room was on the second floor, she had exerted a lot of effort to get there. Meanwhile, Richard was lost in thought, oblivious to her struggle. If she waited any longer, her hands would start to ache.

And so, she gestured for him to open the window, and he complied, allowing her entry.

"Are you trying to scare me by playing the ghost?" Richard said, attempting to mask his surprise.

Pearl had expected he would at least ask her what she was doing there, but he said such surprising words. "Isn't it romantic to visit you like this, just like in Romeo and Juliet?" she joked.
