“It doesn’t count.”

Naturally, Pearl knew what Richard meant. She stared at his lips and, with a sigh, leaned in to kiss him, hoping to end the awkwardness.

But in the next moment, Richard pulled her into his arms, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing her against his chest. “Don’t do this kind of thing again.”

“There’s nothing between Eric and me. I just asked him for help. Besides, he’s Jenny’s boyfriend, and he’s the reason Jenny broke up with you.”

Richard’s eyes turned somber. “I’m not doubting you. I’m just upset that you didn’t tell me the truth.”

“Okay, I’ll be more open with you in the future, alright?” Pearl smiled sweetly, holding his neck and blowing lightly on it.

Her willingness to cooperate seemed to convince him. “Okay, you’re forgiven.”

Pearl nodded and gently pulled away from his embrace. “Okay, let’s go back and rest. We’re going on a trip tomorrow, right?” She then added, “With Eric.”

At the mention of Eric, Richard’s expression soured again. “Don’t bring him up!”

“Okay, I know you’re not too fond of him, but we promised to go together.” Eric wasn’t a bad person, and he had been attentive to Richard in his own way. It was… interesting.

“Pearl! Come on, open up! The sun is up!” It was a familiar voice.

Battling sleepiness, Pearl stumbled to the door and found an excited and eager Eric waiting outside.

“Pearl, you look gorgeous even without makeup,” Eric complimented her before glancing around. ” Where’s Richard?”

“I didn’t sleep in the same bed with him.”

“What’s the big deal? You guys are a couple, right?” Growing up in a more liberal culture, Eric

couldn’t quite understand their conservative approach.

Pearl sighed and explained, “We’re not married yet so let’s not rush things.”
