Chapter 891
Pearl was taken aback. She never expected Richard to be so willing to give her all his assets. "Isn'tthis too sudden?"
Richard squinted playfully. "I've been wanting to give you these for a while. I just haven't found theright moment." After all, she was his chosen one, so giving her the keys was just a matter of time.
"Well, I guess I'll have to accept it then." Pearl picked up the keys and put them in her vault.
After quickly finishing dinner, Pearl assumed Richard was about to leave, but he didn't intend to. Atroubling thought crossed her mind. "You're not planning to learn from Silas and decide not to leavetonight, are you?"
Richard's voice took on a hoarse tone, his eyes gleaming mischievously. Half-smiling, he replied,"Why? Can't I do what he did?"
Pearl slapped her forehead, feeling somewhat powerless. "Are you planning to crash in the livingroom like him?"
Seeing Richard's unhappy expression, she quickly changed her tune. "Actually, there are plenty ofguest rooms in this villa. You can choose any room."
But Richard remained silent, refusing to respond.
Pearl tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else bothering you?"novelbin
Richard's intense gaze met hers. "I want to sleep with you."
Pearl almost choked on his words. He wanted to sleep with her? Didn't he understand theboundaries between men and women? "I'm not used to sharing a bed with others," she replied,feeling flustered.
"Well, that settles it." Richard checked his watch, and it was already eight in the evening. "It'sbedtime soon. Let's take a shower and get ready for bed."
Pearl blocked the bathroom door, protesting, "This doesn't seem right. We're not married or evenengaged." She wouldn't cross any lines before marriage, not even with Richard.
Richard looked at the flustered woman before him with a playful smirk. "What if I insist on sleepingwith you?"
Pearl blushed. "You're such a jerk."
"It's perfectly natural for me to sleep with my fiancee." Then, he seemed to realize something. Hebent down and asked, "Are you trying to tell me you want a 'Mrs.' title? If that's what you want, wecan get married tomorrow."
This was way too fast. Pearl never thought she would marry Richard so soon, so she instinctivelyshook her head. "I don't want to get married yet."
Richard narrowed his eyes, a hint of annoyance in his expression. "Do you not want to get marriednow, or you just don't want to marry me?"
Richard's change of tone and expression left Pearl startled. "I'm just not considering marriage at themoment."
Richard frowned, looking unhappy. Was he that unattractive? He wondered why, despite his charmand appeal, she wasn't ready to marry him.
Why did so many women want to marry him, yet this intelligent woman didn't seem interested?
