Chapter 427
Pearl froze because she couldn’t imagine what Richard meant by that.
Richard’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he appeared to be contemplating something slightly naughty. “Why don’t we set all that aside? Tomorrow, I’ll take you to Hazelton.”
“Why Hazelton? Are we going to watch their shoot?” Pearl wasn’t particularly fond of the place.
Richard playfully tapped her on the head. “No, we’re not going there for a shoot. Hazelton has some good tourism spots as well, not just for filming. I’m taking you there for some fun.”
“But I don’t like-” She had never been a fan of traveling.
“Why do I feel that you’re not happy about this?”
Pearl recollected her past experiences and couldn’t help but let out a wistful chuckle. “You know, I got stung by a jellyfish at the beach once with my dad. We got caught in a trap in the forest. We took a cable car, and due to poor maintenance, we nearly had a life-threatening experience…”
Richard couldn’t help but laugh at the litany of her “misfortunes” while traveling. “So you’ve had your share of bad luck when traveling, huh?”
“Yeah, so I’m not a big fan of traveling. If you want me to go, you might as well just kill me. It’s the same thing.” She half- joked that she’d die either way.
“The place I’m taking you is absolutely safe.”
Pearl chuckled. “I hope so. But where exactly are we going?”
Richard looked mysterious. “You’ll find out once we get there.”
The mystery deepened as he didn’t reveal their destination even after they boarded the plane.
The next day, Pearl met up with Richard, sporting prominent dark circles under her eyes. She couldn’t sleep well due to her curiosity, as she couldn’t guess where they were heading.
Seeing her tired appearance beneath her makeup, Richard felt sorry for her yet found it somewhat amusing. “Okay, you can take a nap on the plane. I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
Pearl nodded, rested her head on his shoulder, and promptly drifted into a deep sleep.
Witnessing her docile behavior, Richard couldn’t help but feel strange. He had a strong urge to lean over and plant a k*ss on her forehead.
He thought she was asleep, but she wasn’t. Her slightly trembling finger betrayed her nervousness.
