Pearl was stunned by the swift response. She knew Richard had a lot of friends, but this was beyond her expectations. As she scrolled through the comments, most of them expressed shock or disbelief.

[What?! You're married?] [No way! Who's the lucky woman? Don't tellit's Winona?] [That's impossible. They broke up already.] [Then who could it be?] [I don't know, but it's definitely not you.] [This is insane. I gotta send this to the news agency before anyone else does.] [You're quite the strategist. First come, first served.] Pearl was dumbfounded by their excitement. "Haven't they ever seen someone get married before?" Richard raised an eyebrow teasingly. "I've seen marriages, but ours isn't so ordinary." "What a narcissist!" Pearl scoffed. She then realized something and blurted out, "Wait, why didn't you tell everyone it was me?" Was this man planning to keep their marriage a secret? Richard's expression changed as Pearl realized what was going on. Even if it was supposed to be a secret, wouldn't it make Pearl look suspicious when Richard boasted about it on social media? "Are you forcinginto a secret marriage?" she asked. Even though keeping their marriage under wraps might make things easier temporarily, she wasn't keen on being called 'Mrs.' just yet.

I did it to protect you." Richard couldn't help but poke Pearl's nose. Considering he had just called off, is engagement with Winona, if she ound out about his marriage to Pearl so soon, there would be rouble. wKnowing the Jesseltons, they might cause trouble for Pearl. For safety's sake, keeping their marriage a secret for now was the best option.

"How considerate of you." Pearl smiled, narrowing her eyes at Richard, who looked at her affectionately.

"I worry about something happening to you, like before. So, I want to keep you safe," Richard pulled her into his arms, comforting her. "Even though I really want to make our relationship public, I know I have to hold back." Pearl patted his back. "I'm fine if you want to make it public. I can protect myself." "It's okay, honey. We can make it public later, after I give you a grand wedding." Richard remained surprisingly calm about this.

But Pearl suddenly realized something was missing. "Richard, where's the proposal?" She had agreed to the marriage in a daze yesterday, but how could they get married without a proposal? That didn't sit well with her; it made her feel undervalued.

Seeing Pearl's expression darken, Richard hurriedly reassured her.

"There will be a proposal, I promise. I was in a rush to get you here for the marriage registration, so I had to trick you." Richard didn't like the idea of the attention a proposal would bring to Pearl. So, he cup with a reason to get her to marry him first.

Tie her down, then figure everything else out later.

"... You tricked me?" Pearl suddenly remembered something. She grabbed his finger and found that the bruising had disappeared. "You said you were hurt. Where's the injury?"
