Chapter 915


    "We''ve only just gotten our marriage certificate, and we haven''t really started our life together yet.


    We didn’t have a wedding, and you haven’t proposed properly. I think we should do things in order,"


    Pearl exined, trying to make sense of her feelings and the rush of events.


    Richard sensed her hesitation. "Never mind. Forget it if you don''t want to."


    Pearl fell silent for a moment. "It''s not that I''m not ready. I just think that..." she trailed off, trying to


    find the right words.


    Richard sighed and embraced her. "I understand it’s a lot to take in all at once. Don’t worry, I can


    wait."


    Feeling his genuine patience, Pearl’s heart warmed to him. "Then I look forward to your proposal,


    Mister Richard," she said, her eyes twinkling with a mix of humor and expectation.


    Richard smirked. "I promise you, it will be grand and unforgettable. Now,e on, get up. You don’t


    want to bete for work again."


    Theirpanies were located in the south and north respectively. Despite their high-ranking


    positions, Richard insisted on driving Pearl to her workce before heading to his own.


    Pearl often wondered why it seemed eptable for him to bete, but not her, which frustrated her.


    At herpany''s entrance, Richard hesitated to leave. "Feels like we’re missing something, don’t


    you think?" he hinted.


    Pearl, puzzled, asked, "Missing what?"


    "Don''t you think you should give me a morning kiss?"


    Pearl looked around. The idea of a morning kiss in public made her anxious, especially with so


    many people around.


    "Let''s save that for when we''re at home, okay?" she proposed, hoping for apromise.


    "Are you trying to pacify me?" Richard wasn’t easily swayed.

    Pearl found herself in a dilemma, not understanding Richard''s thoughts. It seemed like he wanted


    the whole world to know that they were a sweet and lovey-dovey couple. In a quick decision, she


    pecked his cheek and hurried away, feeling like she was escaping.


    Richard watched her leave with a satisfied smirk. It felt sweet to have his wife''s kiss.

    Entering herpany still flushed, Pearl was soon approached by a nosy colleague with a


    mischievous grin.


    "Miss Pearl, I just saw something juicy. How much are you willing to pay for my silence?" she


    teased, her smile turning sly.


    When Pearl saw that crafty smile, it gave her a headache. "What did you see?"


    The woman pretended to be shocked. "Are you sure you want me to talk about your kiss with Mister


    Richard here, in front of everyone?"


    She spoke loud enough for others to overhear, instantly attracting a crowd eager for gossip.


    "What? Miss Pearl kissed someone?" the onlookers murmured, all ears for the details.
