Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 17

Pearl turned around.

Richard's was half-naked. He just came out of the bathroom. A towel was wrapped around his abdomen. Water was dripping from his hair, sliding down the body.

The chemistry in the air suddenly made Pearl go blank.

"Are you done watching?"

Richard stared at her. His eyes fell slowly on her chest. He chuckled coldly, "Oh, I see, over the past years, you have learned abroad that you should take off your clothes after entering a man's room ."

Suddenly Pearl snapped back to her senses. She widened her eyes and cried with surprise. She put her hands over her chest hurriedly.

Richard could not be bothered to look at her anymore. He averted his eyes to get his bathrobe.

Pearl was so embarrassed. "I don't know this is your room."

"Oh, do you know that this is my house?"

She was speechless.

"How long are you going to stand here?"

Coming back to her senses, she grabbed her clothes from the bed adn left."I'm sorry."

The door was closed. Richard now could exhale slowly and his strong chest heaved with it. He tied his bathrobes.

After changing his bathrobes, Richard sat down on the bed. He took out a cigarette. When he was about to light a cigarette, he heard a ringtone.

It's from Pearl's phone. She forgot it in his room.

'Baby', popped up on the phone. Richard's eyes were icy. His finger brushed across the screen. He only hesitated for a second before answering the call.

A soft voice came from the phone. "Mommy, when are you coming back ? I want cupcakes! Brandon won't let me eat them."

Richard did not speak.

"Sorry, my phone..."

Suddenly, Pearl opened the door. She saw that Richard was holding her phone. Immediately, her expression changed many times. She rushed to Richard to grab her phone and hung it up.

Richard's stared on her. He asked slowly, word by word, "You're married?"
