Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 

Consequently, the difficult question landed on Pearl. 

Looking at them, Pearl fell into a dilemma. Logically speaking, she should choose Richard, but she couldn’t bring herself to say his name when four of them had the same eager look on their faces. 

“Who will you choose, Pearl?” Hanzel’s gaze bore into Richard as he spoke sharply, “Think carefully.” 

Taking a deep breath, Pearl answered, “Alright, I won’t choose anyone.” 

Her words made Richard’s face gloomy. “Why?” 

Pearl’s heart skipped a beat as she sensed that her response had upset him. 

“Just pick whoever you want. Don’t hesitate like a fickle woman,” Sean said, always blunt in his remarks. 

“Okay, I choose Richard.” 

Sean snorted. “That’s more like it.” 

Suddenly, Pearl understood Sean’s intentions, realizing that he had wanted her to make a clear choice and reveal her feelings. Besides, she remembered he didn’t like her, and he must have purposely said the opposite to compete against Richard. 

Despite his scheming nature and often harsh words, Sean seemed like a decent guy. 

Hanzel, however, didn’t appear particularly pleased and looked hurt as he gazed at Pearl. 

As for Hugo, he maintained his composure and pretended as if nothing had happened. His smile seemed genuine, yet it was impossible to discern his true emotions. 

Dustan, content with Pearl’s decision, nodded. “So when are you two planning to get engaged?” 

“Engage?” Both Pearl and Richard were shocked out of their wits. 

“That’s too fast! Richard and I aren’t even a couple yet. Why should we rush into an engagement?” 

However, Susan yearned to see them together. “Rick is already twenty-four years old, and you’re twenty now, old enough to 

get engaged. You can have the wedding at the end of the year. Maybe I can have a grandchild next year…” 

Susan’s words left Pearl utterly speechless. “We don’t need to rush into things, Madam…” 

Susan rolled her eyes at Pearl. “Oh, I know you’re shy, but it’s okay. You can continue to grow closer after you’re married.” 

Speechless, Pearl cast a helpless glance at Richard.
