Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 909

Pearl held his hand and emphasized, "I admit that he was once important to me in my youth. But as time passed, my feelings changed. I've chosen to be with you. My heart belongs to you, now and forever."

Richard found her statement much more romantic than that bitter poem. He was touched, even considering recording her words for future generations, perhaps as a romantic keepsake between them.

"Alright, let's not dwell on it anymore. You've already assured me." His heart softened as he gently stroked her hair. "I'm sure Mom has finished cooking, and everyone's home. Let's go down and have dinner."

Pearl, despite having just relaxed, felt nervous again. She wasn't just a friend's daughter anymore; she was now a member of the Waldorf family. She worried about potential unexpected situations.

Lost in her thoughts, she slowed her pace.

"Don't be nervous." Richard squeezed her hand. "You have me."

As they descended the stairs, they found all the Waldorfs at home.

Sean, although occasional in his visits, wasn't around today due to his strict schedule set by his biological father, who intended to train him to inherit the family property.

Hanzel was present, accompanied by Feather, who seemed uncomfortable and trapped. It was clear Hanzel had dragged her here against her will.

Mobius, having experienced heartbreak, appeared more subdued than before, displaying a newfound maturity.

Pearl noticed a brief moment of tension in Hanzel's expression, and if she guessed right, Feather might have stepped on his feet. Their dynamic is quite interesting.

Susan, sensing their intimacy, interjected, "Fifi, when will you marry Hanzel? Let's arrange a meeting with your parents and plan the wedding."

"Pfft!" The usually calm Feather choked. She looked up and forced a smile. "Maam, Hanzel and I aren't dating yet..."

Susan's mood soured. "Hanzel, why can't you do such a thing well? Don't come home again if you fail to win Fifi over in a month!"

Still reeling from Feather's reaction, Hanzel now faced his mother's disappointment, leaving him despondent and questioning why he always seemed to suffer.
