“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 lanow why before you kill me.”
Richard still didn’t respond.
“Oh, I’ll stop talking like that woman.” Pearl sighed in exhaustion, but Richard couldn’t help but scoff.
“You know how you ended up here,” he said.
It was due to her seafood allergy. Pearl felt defeated because this man never focused on the right
topics.
That afternoon, the red spots on Pearl’s skin had disappeared, so she suggested going outside to getnovelbin
some sun.
Richard wasn’t fond of the sun, especially in December. Even if it were sunny, it would be cold, and he
worried they might
catch a cold.
Nevertheless, Pearl insisted, so he reluctantly agreed to accompany her, hoping she wouldn’t get into
any more trouble. They strolled through the garden, and Pearl noticed that the garden was overrun with
weeds. She couldn’t help but gulp nervously.
“What’s caught your attention?”
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 ”
