Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 118

Richard couldn't bear it any longer, not even for a minute.

"I have to endure for two more days since he has something against me right now," Pearl said, looking up. She wasn't sure why she felt the need to explain to Richard, but guilt overwhelmed her when she saw him.

"What's going on?"

"I helped save that girl's mother, and now Hugo is threatening me with it. I need to transfer her mother to another hospital before I break up with him. If not, he might do something in secret."

Pearl had decided to send Hugo away for a few days and transfer Renee's mother to another hospital. Then she could break up with Hugo.

"I'll give you a hand," Richard blurted out impulsively.

"I can do it on my own."

Richard looked uncomfortable. Smiling, Pearl asked, "Are you... in love with me, Richard?"

Richard didn't immediately deny it but gazed at her earnestly. "I have to admit that I've really fallen in love with you."

Stunned, Pearl didn't expect him to confess his feelings so openly.

"Richard, you... like me?"

Stepping closer, Richard gently lifted her chin. "Yes, I don't want to see you with him because I like you."

He had initially thought of his feelings for Pearl as vague and insignificant, but seeing her with another man stirred up envy, sorrow, and confusion within him. It had been a long time since he had experienced such complex emotions.
