Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 873

"I'm warning you. You better be gone before I wake up tomorrow," Pearl said firmly.

Silas muttered quietly about her being heartless.

After that, Pearl went back to her room to sleep.

The next morning, she headed downstairs to check on things.

The blanket was neatly folded, and it seemed Silas had left.

"You're up, Pearl? Come and have some breakfast. I made your favorite thick egg toast." A head popped out from the kitchen, waving a spatula.

Pearl was speechless. "Didn't I tell you to leave?"

Silas pretended to look hurt. "You never eat breakfast, just bread. I figured I'd make you something proper before I go so you'd have a decent meal."

It was considerate, but she didn't need it. But since he was still cooking, it didn't feel right to kick him out.

She slapped her forehead. "Fine, but leave after breakfast."

Hearing his stay extended, Silas grinned. "Sure!"

And so, Pearl's quiet morning turned into a breakfast for two. She lost her appetite, worrying about Richard showing up.

"Miss Pearl, the usual cleaning?" the cleaner asked.

Pearl nodded and smiled. "Yes, thank you."

The cleaner went in. Pearl glanced at Silas in the kitchen and hurried him, "Quick, so no one misunderstands."

"Who would misunderstand?" a clear voice came from the door.

Pearl froze, then turned around to see Richard standing there with a smile. It felt like the sky was crashing down around her.
