Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 42

Abby attended Mobius' birthday party as the Waldorfs had invited her.

After unwrapping Abby's gift, Mobius screamed in surprise, "This racing suit is so cool! I love it! Thank you, Abby!"

Smiling, Abby said, "You're welcome. It wasn’t very expensive either." She then threw Pearl a smug glance.

Pearl's gift came in a much smaller box.

"That seems like a very half-hearted gift, Pearl..." Abby appeared conflicted.

After unwrapping the box, Mobius saw a car key inside. "I love this car! There's only one of these cars in the world. It’s priceless! You're so magical, Miss Pearl. Why do you seem to have everything?"

Mobius was ecstatic. This gift was far more precious than all the other gifts combined. It made Abby feel that her gift was unpresentable.

"I knew Flores Firms is rich and powerful. You even looked down on such a gift, Abby" Pearl mocked.

Abby glared at Pearl, then hung her head.

Richard’s gift was the last, and Mobius was very curious about it. There was a property contract placed in a square box.

"I know you like Death Valley. You're now an adult, and starting today, the place belongs to you.”

Richard's gift filled others with surprise too. In comparison, the gifts that Sean, Hugo, and Hanzel bought were not very dazzling.

Dustan instructed someone to drive Abby home after the party ended, but she suggested after looking at the weather, "Can I get Rick to send me instead? It's a bit dark outside, and I'm scared."

Richard tactfully turned her down. "I'm sorry but I can't. I have some work to handle.”

"Oh..." Abby smiled awkwardly. "Forget it then. I'll head home on my own."

Richard frowned. "I was being, and you’re younger than me. Of course, I should take care of you."

"But I..." Abby suddenly turned to him, her eyes watery. "But I love you very much. I’ve been in love with you for almost ten years."

Surprised, Richard asked, "What?"

"You’ve had my heart since the first time we met. Have you never noticed? I thought you would marry me, and it’s my dream to marry you one day.”

Her passionate confession failed to move Richard. "You should pick someone else, Abby."

"No!"

Abby suddenly leaned in and tried to kiss him but he pushed her away.
