Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 944

The three-day deadline quickly passed, and on the morning of the third day, Pearl received an anonymous text.

[How's it going? If you've made up your mind, let's meet at the usual spot at 5:30 this afternoon.]

It was clear that this was Mister Howard's final request.

Since it was the weekend, Pearl decided to sleep in. She tossed her phone aside and slept until the afternoon.

At two o'clock, she got up, ready to meet Mister Howard, but Richard was waiting at her doorstep.

"It's time, isn't it?" he asked.

Pearl knew Richard must also be deeply troubled by this situation.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Richard gazed at her, his dark eyes unfathomable.

"I'm still figuring it out. Do you have any brilliant suggestions?" For Pearl, dealing with this situation was like walking on eggshells. She must be careful with her next move, knowing it involved her mother.

"I won't agree to a divorce, that's for sure," Richard declared firmly. He had fought hard to bring his wife back and wouldn't give up easily due to someone else's threats. If he gave in, he wouldn't be much of a man.

"I know what you're concerned about. Despite your tough exterior, you're kind-hearted," Richard said, gently ruffling her hair. "As your husband, I'll handle this for you."

His gentle and indulgent tone touched Pearl, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Richard, why are you so good to me?" She hadn't done anything likable, so why would someone go to such lengths for her?

"Isn't this what love is about? To do anything for someone?" Richard pinched her cheek affectionately and sighed. "Don't worry. Leave everything to me."

Feeling reassured, Pearl and Richard had lunch together before heading to meet Howard.
