Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 

“No, I’m not trying to drive you away, but I want you to think it over. Don’t do anything you’ll regret. After all, you’re still young, and Rick isn’t the only man in the world. Why do you refuse to let Rick go?” 

Suddenly, a fierce and cold male voice came from the doorway. “It’s not that she refuses to let me go, but I like her.” 

Richard was enraged when Blair tried to persuade Pearl to give him up. 

“Oh, Rick, here you are…” Blair felt awkward, knowing that Richard had overheard some of her conversation. 

Hearing Richard’s words, Pearl blushed, her emotions swirling within her. 

“Stop bothering Pearl. It’s none of your business that I like her. Plus, I’ll never like 

Abby, even without Pearl. You better stop trying to persuade Pearl.” Richard stood guard before Pearl coldly. 

Blair’s disdain for Pearl grew stronger because of Richard’s infatuation with her. 

“Your mother will never agree.” Blair dropped her gentleness and said fiercely, “You can only marry Abby.” 

However, Richard smirked sarcastically. “Who I want to marry is my own business. My mother can’t meddle 

in it.”

“Very well. We’ll see about that.” Blair left angrily, slamming the door behind her. 

“Isn’t it bad to offend her like that…” Pearl became restless, concerned about Blair’s anger. “I think she might go to your mother.” 

However, Richard was unconcerned. As he helped Pearl tuck in her blanket, he said, “It’s okay. You have me.” 

After his impulsive confession of feelings for her, he seemed to have changed and become very gentle. 

“Alright.” 

Richard wanted to raise last night’s question again, but just then, someone else entered the room. 

It was Abby. A pang of jealousy shot through her heart when she saw how close Pearl and Richard were. However, she remained composed. “How are you feeling, Pearl? Do you still feel sick?” 

“Don’t bother, Miss Flores.” 

“Rick, Pearl still hates me…” At first, Abby had planned to use her usual tactic of acting pitiful to create discord between them, but Richard didn’t even look at her. 

“I think it’s best that you leave. Pearl needs to rest.” 

Jealousy clouded Abby’s judgment as she witnessed Richard openly defending Pearl. She yearned to teach Pearl a lesson, but she couldn’t let on how much she cared about Richard. “I’m just here to check on Pearl, and I won’t disturb her-” 

“But you’ve already disturbed me, Miss Flores.” Chuckling, Pearl stared at Abby with a warning look. 

Abby was taken aback. She hadn’t expected both of them to stand up to her. It brought tears to her eyes, but she dared not cry here, given the frustration and impatience in Richard’s eyes. She wiped away her tears and 

hastily left.
