Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 431

"I'm not jealous, Rick." Pearl giggled, but the icy look in her eyes sent a chill through Richard's heart.

"Talk normally."

"This is how I talk, Rick."

"Pearl Leighton."

Pearl immediately stopped her playful tone. "Okay, fine, I'll stop." Despite agreeing, she was still irritated because she felt like Richard was the one who kept attracting women.

Sensing her annoyance, Richard couldn't help but smile. "She's interested in Hugo."

"You don't need to explain anything. I can tell," Pearl replied with a scoff, hiding under the blanket.

However, Richard pulled her out a moment later. "Are you going to listen to my explanation?"

"Sure, sure, just don't pull my shirt," Pearl pleaded.

Richard released his grip on her shirt after rolling his eyes.

Pearl had a sense that she shouldn't be testing him too much. She rubbed her neck and analyzed quietly.

"Leah likes Hugo. They've known each other for a long time." Richard stopped talking at that point.

Pearl watched as he sent a file to his assistant and then engaged in a short video conference. She inquired cautiously, "Are you angry?"

Richard remained silent.

"Don't ignore me. I need to know why before you kill me."

Pearl was about to reply, but a moment later, she sneezed hard.

"I told you it's cold. You're the only one who would want to walk around in December weather," Richard remarked.

His cold demeanor was something Pearl had grown accustomed to over time. She approached the withered vegetation and suddenly became excited. "Look, it's dragon's breath!"

"What's dragon's breath?"

"It's a plant that has health benefits."

Hearing that name and Pearl's expression, Richard understood. "Alright, you've spent too much time outside. Come back inside with me."

As they approached the door of their room, they overheard an argument. One of the parties involved was Leah.
