Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 889

Pearl was determined to see what Richard had cooked, but he blocked her view. "I told you not to look, so you shouldn't."

Richard couldn't accept that he failed, looking awkward and disappointed at his botched attempt.

"Don't worry. I'll love anything you make," Pearl reassured him.

Her words managed to sway him, but her expression changed drastically when she finally saw the plated dishes.

The fish was burnt to a crisp, and the pork ribs looked overseasoned and unappetizing. Pearl regretted her earlier statement about loving anything he made. Who wouldn't be repulsed by this?

Richard noticed her awkward expression and tried to maintain his composure. "Alright, we should throw the food out and order delivery."

Pearl hesitated but decided to give the ribs a try. She took a small bite and immediately noticed the overpowering saltiness and rubbery texture. Despite her discomfort, she forced a smile. "It's not too bad. The ribs are a little overcooked, so next time, be careful not to cook them for too long. The taste is fine. It's a good attempt. Anyway, the fish is um… burned. I don't think we can eat that."

Richard felt warmness in his heart, knowing she was being polite. He had tasted the food himself and found it inedible. "You don't have to do that. I know it wasn't great. Let's go out for dinner."
