Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 894

Pearl had never imagined being in this situation with Richard. But seeing him look all pitiful now, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Alright, I'll marry you."

Richard's face instantly lit up. "Okay, hurry and freshen up. I'll be waiting downstairs in ten minutes." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He got up, completely shaking off the annoyance of accidentally bumping into the table. He looked thrilled as if they were getting married right then and there.

Pearl suddenly felt that she had been tricked. But unable to come up with anything else, she mechanically washed up and then changed into fresh clothes before heading downstairs.

Seeing her bare face, Richard reminded her with a firm tone, "We’ll be taking photos for our registration today. Aren't you going to put on some makeup?"

Only then did she realize she had missed something. She shot him an annoyed glance. "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I thought it was just signing some papers, and that's it."

If he hadn't mentioned meeting downstairs in ten minutes, she wouldn't have been so nervous that she forgot to put on makeup.

"So what? My future wife looks stunning whether she wears makeup or not."

Pearl rolled her eyes. "Since when did you become a smooth-talker? Wait a minute, who said you could call me your wife?" She didn't expect Richard to call her his wife so naturally.

Richard pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her forehead. "Aren't you going to be my wife soon? If you don't like that, we can choose another one. How about... missus?"

"I…I didn’t say I liked that!" Pearl pushed him away and blushed. She dashed upstairs and shut her bedroom door.

About half an hour later, Pearl reluctantly applied makeup she was happy with and hesitantly made her way downstairs.

Honestly, she was feeling uncertain. She hadn't quite wrapped her head around the idea of getting married so soon. It was a big challenge for her.

Richard admired her makeup and the effort she put into wearing a white dress for the photoshoot. Grinning, he said, "You look really beautiful today."

His compliment caught Pearl off guard and caused her to blush. "Alright, enough with the sweet talk. Let's get married."

Richard glanced at her and teased, "Did you bring your ID?"

"How could I forget something so important?" Pearl took her ID from her pocket and showed it to him.

Suddenly, Richard leaned in and kissed her. "Good." He then led her outside.

The marriage bureau was close to Pearl's villa, just a twenty-minute drive away. Soon, they arrived and stood at the entrance.

Seeing Pearl anxious, Richard reached out and gently squeezed her hand. "Don’t worry."

"I’m fine," Pearl replied, though her heart skipped a beat.

There was a long queue inside. Apart from Pearl and Richard, everyone else was chatting happily, looking like sweet couples.

Richard couldn't help but be influenced by the relaxed atmosphere. He looked at Pearl, who appeared tense, and reached to ruffle her hair. "Relax, it's just a certificate."

"Huh? Are you planning just to get the certificate and skip the wedding?"
