Pearl was taken aback. She never expected Richard to be so willing to give her all his assets. "Isn't this too sudden?" Richard squinted playfully. "I've been wanting to give you these for a while. I just haven't found the right moment." After all, she was his chosen one, so giving her the keys was just a matter of time.

"Well, I guess I'll have to accept it then." Pearl picked up the keys and put them in her vault.

After quickly finishing dinner, Pearl assumed Richard was about to leave, but he didn't intend to. A troubling thought crossed her mind. "You're not planning to learn from Silas and decide not to leave tonight, are you?" Richard's voice took on a hoarse tone, his eyes gleaming mischievously. Half-smiling, he replied, "Why? Can't I do what he did?" Pearl slapped her forehead, feeling somewhat powerless. "Are you planning to crash in the living room like him?" Seeing Richard's unhappy expression, she quickly changed her tune. "Actually, there are plenty of guest rooms in this villa. You can choose any room." But Richard remained silent, refusing to respond.

Pearl tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else bothering you?" Richard's intense gaze met hers. "I want to sleep with you." Pearl almost choked on his words. He wanted to sleep with her? Didn't he understand the boundaries between men and women? "I'm not used to sharing a bed with others," she replied, feeling flustered.

"Well, that settles it." Richard checked his watch, and it was already eight in the evening. "It's bedtsoon. Let's take a shower and get ready for bed." Pearl blocked the bathroom door, protesting, "This doesn't seem right. We're not married or even engaged." She wouldn't cross any lines before marriage, not even with Richard. Richard looked at the flustered woman before him with a playful smirk. "What if I insist on sleeping with you?" Pearl blushed. "You're such a jerk." "It's perfectly natural forto sleep with my fiancee." Then, he seemed to realize something. He bent down and asked, "Are you trying to tellyou want a 'Mrs.' title? If that's what you want, we can get married tomorrow." This was way too fast. Pearl never thought she would marry Richard so soon, so she instinctively shook her head. "I don't want to get married yet." Richard narrowed his eyes, a hint of annoyance in his expression. "Do you not want to get married now, or you just don't want to marry me?" Richard's change of tone and expression left Pearl startled. "I'm just not considering marriage at the moment." Richard frowned, looking unhappy. Was he that unattractive? He wondered why, despite his charm and appeal, she wasn't ready to marry him. Why did so many women want to marry him, yet this intelligent woman didn't seem interested?
