Chapter 165


    That night, the cicadas chirped, the weather was warm, and their hearts were beating quickly.


    Pearl’s heart skipped a few beats because when he said that, it came from the bottom of his heart, and


    he was dead serious


    about it.

    “Let’s.”


    Richard didn’t react when he heard that.


    “Didn’t you say you want me to chase you for us to be together?”


    Pearl chuckled. “If I had to wait for that to happen, I might die of old age.”


    Richard wasn’t the romantic type. She did some digging into his past rtionship with his first love, and


    it was boring. They hadn’t even k*ssed.


    Richard felt ufortable. “So?”


    Pearl suddenly felt lethargy kicking in, so she yawned and began preparing to get into bed. “So it’s time


    to sleep. It’s veryte now. Let’s talk about thister.”


    Pearl hung up, leaving Richard feeling mncholic on the other end.


    The next day, Pearl got up early in the morning and nned to see Wayne to discuss their next course


    of action. However, her car wouldn’t start, and she realized she had run out of gas.


    This ce was a bit far out, so it was impossible to get a cab. Without a car, there was no way she


    could leave.


    “Good morning, Miss Pearl.” Raymond had also woken up early, and when he saw her looking


    troubled, he smiled. “What’s wrong?”


    Pearl imed nothing was wrong, but Raymond saw everything.


    “Ran out of gas? It’s okay, I have a few cars I can lend you.” Raymond was generous enough to take


    out some keys from his front pocket and hand them to her.


    Pearl took a few steps back. It’s fine, thanks.” She didn’t want to owe him a favor because she didn’t


    want to have anything to


    do with him.


    “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to take advantage of you.” Raymond found her reaction amusing and


    chuckled. “Take it, you


    don’t need to return it.”


    Pearl shook her head and was prepared to reject him again when a car honked at her gate. She looked


    over and saw Richard.


    “What are you doing here?” She suddenly had a bigger question. “Wait, how do you know I live here?”


    Richard just calmly said, “Get in, I’ll give you a ride.”


    Pearl was still confused. “What?”


    “I’m not going to repeat myself.”


    Raymond shed a cold smile. “Why are you interfering with Miss Pearl’s life, Mister Richard? Didn’t


    you kick her out?”


    “I don’t think this concerns you”


    Seeing how Richard was getting annoyed, Pearl quickly got into his car to defuse the tension.


    Raymond stood there, still smiling, but his eyes were cold.


    Pearl remained curious about how Richard had found out where she lived and why he hade to


    pick her up so early in the morning.


    As if he could read her mind, he calmly exined, “Waldorf owns this neighborhood.”


    That made sense. The Waldorfs had the resources to find information about anyone.
