Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 349

Chapter 349

Pearl looked on in surprise. She gazed at the man standing before her, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding an elegant smile.

Her mind was alert, cautious. "Mister Raymond, what brings you also to Bodgow?"

"Also? Is there someone else coming to Bodgow?" There was a hint of surprise in Raymond's

eyes.

Pearl was straightforward in her reply. "My grandfather requested me to pick up someone, his friend's grandson."

"Could that someone be me?" Raymond innocently pointed to himself.

Pearl was taken aback. "No way," she replied, not expecting the person she was supposed to pick up to be right in front of her.

"What else did your grandfather say?" Raymond asked, waving his hand in front of her as she hesitated. "Still there? Lost in thought?"

Pearl snapped back to reality. She realized Raymond was standing unusually close to her, and she subconsciously took a step back. "Alright, he asked me to take you safely to the Jordan residence." "Why don't we leave now?" Raymond suggested.

Pearl shrugged, looking helpless. "I can't drive. Mister Raymond, can you call a taxi?"

"No problem, I can drive," Raymond replied with a light smile.

"I don't have a car," Pearl stated helplessly.

Raymond chuckled, a hint of pride on his face. "I do."

"I'm not used to sitting in other people's cars." Pearl really didn't want to have any association with him.

Raymond understood her meaning, "So, you mean you don't want to go back with me, right?"

"You catch on quickly."

Raymond once again closed the distance between them, leaning close to Pearl's ear, his voice low and mischievous. "Are you afraid I'll eat you up...'

Before Raymond could finish, Pearl had distanced herself, rubbing her ear in discomfort. " Maintaining a respectful distance between men and women is important, especially when I'm already committed to a relationship. I must keep a boundary with other men."

Even though Richard wasn't there, Pearl was unwavering in her moral stance.

"Miss Pearl, your loyalty is admirable. I like you even more. What should I do?"

Raymond's words only repulsed Pearl further. "Mister Raymond, if that's how you feel, then I'll have to keep my distance from you."

Raymond withdrew his smile. "Of course, I was just teasing you.

"Then let's go. I'll drive you back." Pearl sensed Raymond was merely jesting, without any

genuine affection behind his playful demeanor. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Pearl and Raymond got into the car. It was a vehicle Master Jordan had given her, but she

hadn't driven it much. The car's delicate pink exterior and petite size made Pearl inexplicably embarrassed. Accustomed to driving race cars, handling this dainty little sports car suddenly made her uncomfortable. Pearl took Raymond back to the Jordan residence. Throughout the journey, Raymond was particularly chatty. "Pearl, guess who insisted I come back this time?"

Pearl ignored him.

"It was your grandfather."

Pearl remained silent, taking a turn.

Raymond kept talking nonstop, "Aren't you curious why your grandfather asked me to come here?"

Pearl's mouth felt dry from listening, and she grabbed a nearby bottle of water and took a sip.

Little did she know, the next moment Raymond would shock her by saying, "Your grandfather said he wants me to become his grandson-in-law."
