Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 423

Pearl noticed that Richard seemed a bit distracted, so she playfully waved her hand in front of his face. "What's on your mind?"

Richard frowned. "Baby sounds too cutesy, babe is too flirtatious, and cutie just doesn't feel right. Maybe I should just call you missus."

"You're thinking about nicknames?" Pearl was stunned. "We shouldn't be worrying about this. Help me figure out how to ask Hugo to meet with us."

"I think this is quite important." Richard seemed genuinely concerned about the nickname issue.

"Richard, stop being childish!"

Richard appeared earnest. "This isn't childish. This is what normal couples call each other. Besides, you shouldn't call me Richard."

Pearl realized he was fixated on this matter, so she decided to play along and tried different nicknames. "Baby?"

His ears turned red.

"Hun…"

His Adam's apple moved.

"Honey—"

He couldn't hold back any longer, and after the last one, he took her wrist and passionately kissed her.

The moment their lips met, Pearl's thoughts dissolved, and she could feel his warm breath and rapid heartbeat. Her own heart raced wildly.

"This guy…" Pearl muttered under her breath.

"You should call me hubby from now on."

Pearl refused to play along and turned her head away. "No, absolutely not!"

"How about 'hun,' then?"

Pearl's expression softened slightly; it was a more acceptable option. But no. Why should she give in?

She glared at Richard. "I'm going to get the car, and you can tell Uncle Dustan that we're leaving. Then, we'll go see Hugo."
