Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 86

Richard frowned. The moment Pearl raised her hand, he had already taken a step forward. However, Adriana in his arms made him fail to stop Pearl. 

In truth, he could not stop her even if Adriana wasn't in his arms.

Pearl's actions were too fast without any hesitation. Her decisiveness was still the same as ever. 

After pouring cold water on herself, she left the restaurant without looking back. Even though she was in a mess, she still walked straight and upright. 

Richard hadn't expected her to do this. There were regret and pain flashing in his eyes.

He only wanted to anger her, to see her blaming him, and to see her flustered due to the situation she was in. He even wanted to see her lower her head to him.

However, he was wrong.

After a long time, a woman's soft and timid voice came from her, "Richard, Pearl must have misunderstood me. I really wanted to help her. But she probably did this due to our relationship. She may have suspected me for having ulterior motives."

Richard went back to his senses. 

"Well, don't you have any other motives?"

His cold words contained a sense of alienation. He then let Adriana go from his arms. 

"You invited the both of us to the same restaurant. Is it some sort of coincidence?"

After leaving his broad and warm chest, Adriana suddenly got nervous, "Richard..."

"Adriana, I don't like women who pretend they are smart." After that, Richard left with a warn look. 

Adriana stood on the spot. her elegant hair were splashed by Pearl and she looked terrible. She clenched her fist, her fingernails pricking her palms. 

Of course she knew that Richard wouldn't be fooled so easily. Her plan was full of loopholes. Anyone with a brain would know that she was deliberately waiting for the perfect time for Richard to see the scene just now.

But did that matter? Not at all. 

Richard did't like women who were too smart. He let her be his girlfriend only because she was obedient, didn't it? Even if she occasionally made a ruckus, everything she did had to be within his control. 

She wanted him to always be with her, so that she could always feel safe.

As for Richard, that was the biggest difference between Adriana and Pearl.

Dusk quietly fell. Business districts were filled with traffic as they usually were. Under the traffic lights were the scene of cars upon cars.

Pearl's car was one of the many caught in the immense traffic. She played loud music inside her car and crazy rock music was roaring in her ears. 

She tried to forget about the reality with the insanely loud music.

When the lights turned green, she drove through the heavy traffic and drove towards the highway. She stepped on the pedal and went way past the speed limit. 

After a long while, when she finally left the highway, her arms felt numb, and her legs were also limp and weak from stepping on the gas pedal.
