Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 956

The idea weighed heavily on Pearl, making her restless. She noticed Richard's expression turning grim, so she asked, "Are you alright?"

"Do I look alright to you?" Richard's expression was unsettling. If what Saule said was true, then he and Pearl were... cousins.

It was a mind-boggling thought.

"By the way, Pea, is this your boyfriend?" Saule's happiness at finding her long-lost child overshadowed the seriousness of the situation.

With a conflicted expression, Pearl nodded.

"What is it?" Saule tried to brace herself for whatever was coming.

"We're already married."

Saule gasped. "What?!"
