Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel

Chapter 716

Richard didn't refuse, which implied his agreement. However, Pearl found the idea repulsive. "No, we'll wait. We'll get a taxi soon enough."

Silas, on the other hand, was hesitant to let the opportunity slip away. He attempted to persuade Pearl, saying, "Pea, Mister Richard is kind enough to give us a ride home. Why should we turn him down?"

Pea... Richard noticed how Silas had addressed Pearl and sneered.

Pearl was stunned. For some reason, she felt guilty when Silas called her "Pea," even though she was no longer in a relationship with Richard. She quickly agreed to put an end to Silas’ impudent remarks.

"Okay, let's go." Richard observed their interactions, wondering why she followed the kid's lead so readily.

Both Silas and Pearl got into Richard's car, leaving the scooter behind by the roadside. Silas even placed the scooter's key on it, leaving it for anyone who might come across it. After all, his family was wealthy enough that losing a scooter was inconsequential.

Pearl was smiling but privately mocking Silas for being too lazy to arrange for a tow truck. However, she didn't dwell on this as Silas seemed intent on making things awkward by engaging in idle chatter.

“Pea, | heard you used to date Mister Richard. Is that true?" Pearl's smile stiffened. "If you can't say something nice, it's best not to say anything at all."

Richard remained focused on his driving, gently tapping the steering wheel upon hearing Pearl's remark. He made no attempt to explain or provide any insight into their past.

"What's the big deal, anyway? It's in the past, and Mister Richard has a new fiancee now. You should move on as well,” Silas commented nonchalantly.

As expected, the kid who had just come of age didn't take such relationships seriously.

Pearl turned to look out the window, choosing not to engage further with Silas. She happened to notice a nearby hotel, which piqued her interest.

She glanced at Richard through the rear-view mirror. He maintained his tight-lipped expression, his gaze fixed straight ahead as if he were oblivious to everything around him.

Pearl couldn't help but entertain wild thoughts. Could it be that Richard knew there was a hotel nearby, so he came to drive them home to prevent her from spending the night in a hotel with Silas?

Another even more improbable thought crossed her mind: Was Richard following them?

However, Pear! quickly dismissed these notions. Richard had Winona on his mind now; he wouldn't be concerned about anyone else, especially not his ex-fiancee, whom he had long moved on from.

Unaware of Pearl's musings, Silas asked Richard curiously, "By the way, Mister Richard, why did you come here at such a late hour?" He seemed to be testing the waters with his inquiry.novelbin

“Winona likes the macarons from this area so | came to buy some for her,” Richard replied calmly. Pearl glanced over and noticed a box of macarons in the passenger seat.
