Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1348

Chapter 1348

Seeing the misunderstanding, Darius tried to explain, "Mom, it's not what you think."

Still, Pearl comforted him by rubbing his head and then turned to glare at Richard, who seemed bewildered. "Don't worry. I'll handle this."

"If you're being threatened, just blink."

Darius blinked involuntarily.

"See, he's being threatened!" Pearl exclaimed.

"Mom, blinking is just a normal thing."

Pearl was speechless. Either way, Pearl couldn't stand it when she saw her son upset.

At that moment, Richard's gaze met Pearl's, carrying an emotion she couldn't quite grasp. Before she could say anything, he said sadly, "I didn't expect that after coming all this way to replace you, you would treat me like this."

Knowing that Pearl responded better to gentleness than harshness, Richard deliberately portrayed himself as hurt and disappointed.

Seeing him like this, Pearl couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to him. "Well, that's not what I meant..."

"I get it," Richard responded with a broken-hearted smile.

For some reason, Pearl had a desire to protect him. Taking a few steps forward, she instinctively reached out her hand.

As soon as she did, Richard smiled in satisfaction. Then, he suddenly pulled her into his arms. "Now you're the one who came to me."

Resting his head on her shoulder, Richard used all his strength, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Richard, can you let me go?" Pearl tried to push him away, feeling frustrated that he would take advantage of her kindness like this. This was appalling!

Darius felt awkward seeing this tense atmosphere and looked away. Why was this so-called father so eager to always make moves on his mother? Was this what they meant when they said being apart for just a day felt like years?

The two of them were immersed in their world, neither willing to let go.

"So what now?" Pearl asked, deflating as she realized she couldn't resist him physically.

"I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to hug you," Richard explained, finally letting go but keeping his hand on her waist.

At that moment, Luther approached and saw Richard making moves on Pearl, who appeared

uncomfortable. Anger burned silently within him.
