Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 914

Richard's jealousy seemed out of place, but Pearl didn't argue since he was clearly upset. She quietly put up with the painful bite and thought to herself how much it hurt.

"Don't comfort him anymore. If he can't move on, that's his problem," Richard said, his eyes reflecting his unhappiness even in the darkness.

"Come on, don't be like that. He's your brother, and I'm his sister-in-law. How could I just watch him struggle?" Pearl tried to reason with him.

Richard seemed to relax a bit at her words. "I get that he sees you as his sister-in-law, but you two should still keep some distance," he said, reminding her that even family members need their boundaries.

"Alright, I understand. Let's head back. It's late, and we should get some sleep," Pearl suggested, wanting to end the conversation on a positive note.

Richard nodded, and they walked back to the house hand in hand.

Feather and Hanzel had left earlier since they didn't live there. Hanzel was visibly annoyed when he found out Pearl was using his room, but his complaints fell on deaf ears, especially with Feather pulling him away, amused.

Pearl couldn't help but notice the change in Hanzel. Once a calm person, he now seemed more lighthearted and silly around Feather, which Pearl found both amusing and endearing. He had also influenced Feather, making her livelier.

It was nice to see both of them influencing each other positively.
