Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 892

Dragging the marriage out any longer wouldn’t be good, as Richard didn’t want any other men having eyes for Pearl.

"In that case, let's get married tomorrow," he declared, his tone firm.

When Pearl heard this, she felt like the world was spinning. Marriage was a serious commitment, and the sudden proposal caught her off guard.

"I didn't plan to get married so soon..." she trailed off, her mind racing with thoughts.

But Richard's reaction surprised her. His expression darkened, and he pulled her close, pressing her against the wall with a chilling intensity.

"Say that again," he demanded, his voice low and commanding.

Pearl felt a surge of apprehension, but she couldn't back down now. "I'm just not ready—mmph!" Her protest was cut short by his forceful kiss.

It was a kiss unlike any they'd shared before—assertive, passionate, and overwhelming. Pearl felt herself melting under his touch, her thoughts scattered by the intensity of his embrace and his tongue prying open her mouth.

Pearl felt breathless, whimpering slightly, only to be met with even more emotional retaliation. Her legs nearly gave out, but he caught her and held her close.

When he finally released her, she was left breathless and disoriented, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Do you want to marry me now?" Richard asked, his voice husky with desire.

Pearl, panting in his arms, nodded. But then she shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes.
