Chapter 909


    Pearl held his hand and emphasized, "I admit that he was once important to me in my youth. But as


    time passed, my feelings changed. I''ve chosen to be with you. My heart belongs to you, now and


    forever."


    Richard found her statement much more romantic than that bitter poem. He was touched, even


    considering recording her words for future generations, perhaps as a romantic keepsake between


    them.


    "Alright, let''s not dwell on it anymore. You''ve already assured me." His heart softened as he gently


    stroked her hair. "I''m sure Mom has finished cooking, and everyone''s home. Let''s go down and


    have dinner."


    Pearl, despite having just rxed, felt nervous again. She wasn''t just a friend''s daughter anymore;


    she was now a member of the Waldorf family. She worried about potential unexpected situations.

    Lost in her thoughts, she slowed her pace.


    "Don''t be nervous." Richard squeezed her hand. "You have me."


    As they descended the stairs, they found all the Waldorfs at home.


    Sean, although asional in his visits, wasn''t around today due to his strict schedule set by his


    biological father, who intended to train him to inherit the family property.


    Hanzel was present, apanied by Feather, who seemed ufortable and trapped. It was


    clear Hanzel had dragged her here against her will.


    Mobius, having experienced heartbreak, appeared more subdued than before, disying a


    newfound maturity.


    Dustan, seldom seen at dinner, smiled warmly at Pearl, growing fond of her like Susan.


    Seated at the dining table, Susan beamed happily, pleased that two of her sons had brought their


    girlfriends home, with one now her legal daughter-inw. The prospect of future grandchildren filled


    her with joy.


    However, Mobius''s loss of a wonderful woman left Susan feeling conflicted, wondering if it would


    affect him, given his brothers'' rtionships.


    The dinner was awkward despite their familiarity with each other.


    Hanzel, notably transformed since dating Feather, served her attentively. "Eat more. You''re quite


    slim. My mom''s cooking is good. If you like it, I''ll bring you food every day."


    Feather, while smiling and epting the food, couldn''t hide her difort.


    Pearl noticed a brief moment of tension in Hanzel''s expression, and if she guessed right, Feather


    might have stepped on his feet. Their dynamic is quite interesting.


    Susan, sensing their intimacy, interjected, "Fifi, when will you marry Hanzel? Let''s arrange a


    meeting with your parents and n the wedding."


    "Pfft!" The usually calm Feather choked. She looked up and forced a smile. "Maam, Hanzel and I


    aren''t dating yet..."


    Susan''s mood soured. "Hanzel, why can''t you do such a thing well? Don''te home again if you


    fail to win Fifi over in a month!"


    Still reeling from Feather''s reaction, Hanzel now faced his mother''s disappointment, leaving him


    despondent and questioning why he always seemed to suffer.
