Chapter 456

“Richard really charmed me the moment I saw him just now,” Eric said, holding his chest dramatically

as if he were deeply moved.

“Eric, Richard is a man!” Helpless, Pearl suddenly regretted bringing Eric here…

“Oh, Pearl, you’ve changed!” Eric widened his eyes in mock shock. “So what if he’s a man? It doesn’t

stop me from admiring him. If I had known your boyfriend was this amazing, I wouldn’t have worried so

much.”

Eric’s sudden change took Pearl by surprise. She pursed her l*ps and teased, “Are you sure you’re just

admiring him? You’re practically drooling, Eric.”

“Okay, let’s not get hung up on these details,” Eric waved dismissively and hurried over to Richard,

looking at him with admiration. “Mister Richard, can I call you Richard? I want to have some fun in

Hazelton for the next few days. Can you show me around?”

“No.” Richard’s mood darkened; he had never encountered such enthusiastic pursuit from another novelbin

man before.

Eric pouted, looking forlorn. “But I don’t know where to go. Please, I’m begging you.” His coquettish

demeanor had a certain charm that could be hard to resist, especially since he had a somewhat

feminine appearance.

However, Richard remained unmoved and rather irritated. Even though he was relieved that Eric had

lost interest in Pearl, he still disliked the man, partly because of Eric’s somewhat feminine

appearance.

“Can’t you ask someone else for help?” Pearl suggested with a touch of amusement. “What about

Jenny? Why don’t you ask her to show you around?”

Eric hesitated at the mention of Jenny. “I just ignored her for your sake earlier. You saw that, right?

Maybe she hates me now. Plus, I’ve helped you. You should return the favor and be my tour guide if

Richard doesn’t want to.”

Of course, Pearl would be with Richard, so it made no difference which one of them showed Eric

around.

“Alright, I’ll take you along.” Richard’s decision was motivated by his desire not to let Eric spend time

alone with Pearl. He shot Eric a cold look and sounded icy.

“Okay, see you tomorrow. I’ll go back to the hotel and pack up tonight.” Eric wanted to give Pearl a

parting hug, but Richard stopped him with a cold stare.

“How petty!” Eric pouted, withdrew his hands, and left.

Finally, Richard turned his attention to Pearl. “Don’t you think you should explain yourself? What

happened?”

After spending a considerable amount of time with Pearl, Richard had a fairly good idea of her plans

and had figured out who Eric was and his connection to Jenny. Yet, jealousy still consumed him,

clouding his judgment. He pushed Pearl into a corner, saying, “It’s time for you to make it up to me,

Park”

With no way to retreat, Pearl forced a smile. “I can explain

No need for explanations,” Richard interrupted. His anger flared up, even though Pearl appeared

cautious and different from her usual self. “Kiss me, and I’ll forgive you.”

But we’re not alone,” Pearl protested, her face flushing. Richard’s request had caught her off guard.

They were in public, and even though they were tucked away in a corner, people could still see them.

“It’s fine. People can’t see us clearly because it’s nighttime,” Richard said seductively. “Hurry up.”

Blushing, Pearl leaned in and pecked his cheek, feeling somewhat helpless.
