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

Chapter 1342

Pearl couldn't help but sneer as she listened to the woman's lies.

"We all know who started the trouble." Although the woman wanted to curse at her, she pretended to be gentle, hoping to appeal to the man watching them. "I know you've never liked me, but as long as you apologize to me and my son, I'll forgive you."

Pearl's eyes widened. "Are you still half asleep or what?"

"How dare you!"

"What?" Pearl snorted. "I suggest you apologize to me, or I can't guarantee I'll let you and your son off the hook." "Is there no justice?" the woman asked Richard, looking wronged. "sir, can you weigh in? This matter is clearly her fault, but look at how aggressive she is, refusing to admit her wrongs."

Richard nodded thoughtfully. "You're right. She's indeed aggressive and doesn't give an inch."

Pearl turned her head and glared at him. "If you're not on my side, you'd better mind your own business. Otherwise, I'll curse you too."

Seeing her sharp tongue and quick wit, Richard found it oddly familiar, but she was cuter than before. Acting on impulse, Richard bent down and couldn't resist kissing her. "Still the same as before."

Pearl was stunned by this sudden move from someone she barely knew, but she quickly reacted and slapped him. The sound echoed crisply through the classroom.

Richard was taken aback, holding his face. "Why did you slap me?"

"What's wrong with that? You creep! Who told you to kiss me?" Pearl felt a surge of panic and confusion. She glanced down at her son, who was staring at her blankly. "Uh... Darius..."

Pearl didn't know how to explain to her son, but to her surprise, he was even more understanding than herself. He replied expressionlessly, "It's okay, mom. I know you both kissed." Fearing that Pearl might misunderstand, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I know kissing doesn't make babies,"

Pearl felt a surge of frustration and irritation. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch Richard's arm hard for corrupting the child.

Richard was startled by this sudden strength. "What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with me kissing my wife?"

Wife?

Pearl was ready to scold him from a place of moral superiority, but she was dumbfounded when she heard his words. "Nonsense. Who's your wife?"

Richard pulled her around and scrutinized her from head to toe, asking, "Have you forgotten you're my wife?" Feeling inexplicably annoyed when a stranger pulled her, Pearl impatiently broke free from him. "There's no way I'm your wife. I have nothing to do with you at all, so stop trying to get close to me. Even if you say I'm your wife, it doesn't change the fact that you're a creep."

Pearl felt that this man must be making excuses for himself.
