Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 309

As a result, Pearl's pent-up emotions finally surfaced. "Richard, I'm really okay. It's true..." She didn't expect to say such affected words, but she couldn't explain why his passionate gaze was making her teary-eyed.

She remembered reading somewhere on the internet that being loved could bring tears to one's eyes.

Richard's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed himself for losing his temper earlier. "I know. I'm sorry."

Taking a deep breath, Pearl opened her arms, and Richard understood, stepping forward to embrace her carefully, being mindful of her injured arm.

Richard's comforting warmth filled Pearl with a sense of security and contentment.

"Be honest with me, Pearl. Is Master Jordan keeping you under house arrest?" Richard could see through Pearl's lie at a glance, but he wanted to hear the truth from her.

Pearl sniffed and responded with a lighthearted tone, "No, it's not that. He just hopes I'll stay in Bodgow and doesn't want me to go back to Enswood."

Richard's voice turned frosty. "Why didn't you tell me the truth, huh?"

Pearl smiled, attempting to justify her actions. "I didn't want you to worry... If you knew, you would've come and helped me, but I didn't want you to get caught up in this mess."

"Pearl, you're not alone anymore, and you're my girlfriend. I should be there for you, no matter what." Richard gently caressed her face, feeling deep sympathy for her.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything from now on." Pearl was moved, hugging Richard even tighter. She had always faced her challenges alone and never wanted to burden others. It was the first time someone had offered to share her burdens.

Richard patted her back reassuringly. "Alright, I'll be here for a few days, and once things are settled, we'll go back home together."

"What about the company?" Shocked, Pearl pushed Richard away.
