Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chatper 423

Chapter 423

Pearl noticed that Richard seemed a bit distracted, so she playfully waved her hand in front of his face. “What’s on

your mind?

Richard frowned. “Baby sounds too cutesy, babe is too flirtatious, and cutie just doesn’t feel right. Maybe I should

just call you

missus.”

“You’re thinking about nicknames?” Pearl was stunned. “We shouldn’t be worrying about this. Help me figure out

how to ask Hugo to meet with us.”

“I think this is quite important.” Richard seemed genuinely concerned about the nickname issue.

“Richard, stop being childish!”

Richard appeared earnest. “This isn’t childish. This is what normal couples call each other. Besides, you shouldn’t

call me

Richard.”

Pearl realized he was fixated on this matter, so she decided to play along and tried different nicknames. “Baby?”

His ears turned red.

“Hun…”

His Adam’s apple moved.

“Honey-”

He couldn’t hold back any longer, and after the last one, he took her wrist and passionately kissed her.

The moment their lips met, Pearl’s thoughts dissolved, and she could feel his warm breath and rapid heartbeat. Her

own heart raced wildly.

This was… a feeling that could make anyone forget all reason.

“Richard… Mm.”

Richard’s lips caressed hers, savoring her taste. After what felt like an eternity, he reluctantly released her.

Pearl was left breathless, trying to catch her breath. When she looked at Richard, she saw him smirking proudly,

which only made her more annoyed. “Richard, you jerk!”

Ignoring her outburst, Richard calmly remarked, “Weren’t you the one who started seducing me, missus?”

Pearl was indignant. “That was teasing, not seducing!”
