Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



Chapter 1364

"Richard!" Without thinking, Pearl raised her voice, but was silenced by Richard's kiss. He kissed her gently, cutting off her words.

The familiar tenderness made Pearl's heart flutter. She closed her eyes and returned his kiss.

When she opened her eyes after a while, Richard was watching her closely, his voice rough." Be quiet. Darius should be sleeping now."

Embarrassed, Pearl turned bright red and lightly punched his chest. "Seriously, get out of my house since you're not drunk!"

"Do you really want to send me away like this?" Richard leaned closer, his tone teasing.

"Richard, please be careful with your words. The kid might hear us." Worried, Pearl glanced behind, hoping the noise hadn't awakened Darius or shown him something inappropriate. "He's asleep, it's fine."

Laughing, Richard lifted her into his arms. Startled, Pearl clung to his neck.

"Where's the bedroom?"

Biting her lip, Pearl whispered, "The bedroom is too close to Darius's room. Let's go to the guest room."

Richard looked at the guest room and grinned. He then carried her inside.

The next morning, Darius saw a tall man in his house and blinked in disbelief. "Mom, why is Mister Richard here?"

Richard and Pearl exchanged a helpless look, unsure how to explain.

"I knew it. You found out about my dream, so you brought him here, right?" Darius suddenly looked excited, jumping to conclusions.

In a daze, Pearl just nodded. "Yes."

"Mom, can Mister Richard drive me to school today?"

Eager to please, Richard looked at Pearl, hoping she'd agree quickly. Pearl had no choice but to say yes since Darius was excited to spend time with Richard.

However, Richard hadn't driven since he had drinks last night, so Pearl handed him her car keys.

"Isn't your car tire flat?" When Richard asked, he realized his mistake. He turned to see Pearl smirking.

"What did you say? How did you know my car tire was flat?"

"I guessed."

"When I tried to drive Darius to school the other day, we had to use your car... Was that doing?"

Richard didn't answer. His silence said it all.

In the next moment, Pearl smacked him.

On the way to school, Darius shifted from being innocent to more questioning.noveldrama

"Just because my mom said you're my dad doesn't mean I accept it." He seemed like an adult.

Richard was stunned. Who did he take after?
