Pearl had never imagined being in this situation with Richard. But seeing him look all pitiful now, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Alright, I'll marry you."
Richard's face instantly lit up. "Okay, hurry and freshen up. I'll be waiting downstairs in ten minutes."
He got up, completely shaking off the annoyance of accidentally bumping into the table. He looked thrilled as if they were getting married right then and there.
Pearl suddenly felt that she had been tricked. But unable to come up with anything else, she mechanically washed up and then changed into fresh clothes before heading downstairs.
Seeing her bare face, Richard reminded her with a firm tone, "We’ll be taking photos for our registration today. Aren't you going to put on some makeup?"
Only then did she realize she had missed something. She shot him an annoyed glance. "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I thought it was just signing some papers, and that's it."
If he hadn't mentioned meeting downstairs in ten minutes, she wouldn't have been so nervous that she forgot to put on makeup.
"So what? My future wife looks stunning whether she wears makeup or not."
Pearl rolled her eyes. "Since when did you become a smooth-talker? Wait a minute, who said you could call me your wife?" She didn't expect Richard to call her his wife so naturally.
Richard pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead. "Aren't you going to be my wife soon? If you don't like that, we can choose another one. How about... missus?"
"I…I didn’t say I liked that!" Pearl pushed him away and blushed. She dashed upstairs and shut her bedroom door.
