Chapter 891


    Pearl was taken aback. She never expected Richard to be so willing to give her all his assets. "Isn''t


    this too sudden?"


    Richard squinted yfully. "I''ve been wanting to give you these for a while. I just haven''t found the


    right moment." After all, she was his chosen one, so giving her the keys was just a matter of time.


    "Well, I guess I''ll have to ept it then." Pearl picked up the keys and put them in her vault.


    After quickly finishing dinner, Pearl assumed Richard was about to leave, but he didn''t intend to. A


    troubling thought crossed her mind. "You''re not nning to learn from Ss and decide not to leave


    tonight, are you?"


    Richard''s voice took on a hoarse tone, his eyes gleaming mischievously. Half-smiling, he replied,


    "Why? Can''t I do what he did?"


    Pearl pped her forehead, feeling somewhat powerless. "Are you nning to crash in the living


    room like him?"


    Seeing Richard''s unhappy expression, she quickly changed her tune. "Actually, there are plenty of


    guest rooms in this vi. You can choose any room."


    But Richard remained silent, refusing to respond.


    Pearl tentatively asked, "What''s wrong? Is there something else bothering you?"


    Richard''s intense gaze met hers. "I want to sleep with you."


    Pearl almost choked on his words. He wanted to sleep with her? Didn''t he understand the


    boundaries between men and women? "I''m not used to sharing a bed with others," she replied,


    feeling flustered.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    "Well, that settles it." Richard checked his watch, and it was already eight in the evening. "It''s


    bedtime soon. Let''s take a shower and get ready for bed."


    Pearl blocked the bathroom door, protesting, "This doesn''t seem right. We''re not married or even


    engaged." She wouldn''t cross any lines before marriage, not even with Richard.


    Richard looked at the flustered woman before him with a yful smirk. "What if I insist on sleeping


    with you?"


    Pearl blushed. "You''re such a jerk."


    "It''s perfectly natural for me to sleep with my fiancee." Then, he seemed to realize something. He


    bent down and asked, "Are you trying to tell me you want a ''Mrs.'' title? If that''s what you want, we


    can get married tomorrow."


    This was way too fast. Pearl never thought she would marry Richard so soon, so she instinctively


    shook her head. "I don''t want to get married yet."


    Richard narrowed his eyes, a hint of annoyance in his expression. "Do you not want to get married


    now, or you just don''t want to marry me?"


    Richard''s change of tone and expression left Pearl startled. "I''m just not considering marriage at the


    moment."


    Richard frowned, looking unhappy. Was he that unattractive? He wondered why, despite his charm


    and appeal, she wasn''t ready to marry him.


    Why did so many women want to marry him, yet this intelligent woman didn''t seem interested?
