Chapter 231

“But it’s great to get engaged earlier.”

As long as they were engaged, Pearl would be Richard’s fiancee, no longer the prospective Waldorf

family bride. She would belong solely to Richard.

Unable to bear the awkward atmosphere any longer, Pearl made an excuse and excused herself.

After sitting for a while beside the flower bed, Pearl was joined by someone unexpected.

“Why didn’t you agree to the engagement just now, Pearl?” It was Hanzel, who appeared crestfallen.

He forced a smile as he spoke.

“I think it’s too rushed, and I’m not that close with Richard. I can’t just get engaged with him like that.”

Pearl did have feelings for Richard, but she believed that before making such a commitment, they

should ensure they were compatible for a lifelong partnership.

“I envy you guys. You didn’t rush things like I did. I just charged ahead and confessed my feelings

directly, which was foolish. Besides, I’m not as accomplished or rich as Rick. So, of course, you

wouldn’t choose me, given the comparison.”

Pearl finally noticed the bottle of wine in Hanzel’s hand, which appeared to contain strong alcohol.

Hanzel took a swig from the bottle, forcing a bitter smile.

“No, you’re not worse, Hanzel. Many people admire you and dream of having you. Why do you think so

poorly of yourself?” Pearl smiled warmly, trying to comfort him. “I don’t like you because we didn’t meet

under the right circumstances, perhaps fate has determined that I’m not the one for you. Your perfect

match is still out there, waiting for you in the future.”

Moved by Pearl’s words, Hanzel looked up with a mix of hope and puzzlement. “Really?”

“Absolutely! You’re only twenty, and you have a long journey ahead of you. Are you afraid you won’t

find someone you like?” Pearl extended her hand, offering a piece of candy. “Here, have this candy. It

might help you feel a bit better. I’m truly grateful to you for all your help. We can be good friends, can’t

we?”

“Good friends…” Hanzel accepted the candy but held onto it tightly without eating it. He smiled and

asked, “Why are you treating me like a child, offering me candy? I’m a grown-up now. I can’t eat

candy.”

Raising her brows, Pearl disagreed. “Why not? I like eating candies. Shouldn’t we have some

sweetness in our difficult lives?”

Hanzel realized that someone like Pearl, who had reached her current position without a powerful

background, must have faced numerous hardships and challenges in life. Her struggles might have

exceeded his own, as he had grown up with great care and protection.

Given that, he thought it was childish to focus only on romantic relationships.

“Did you see it through?” Pearl tilted her head, her smile gentle in the moonlight.

“Yeah, I think I have.” Hanzel rose to his feet, one hand in his pocket. “I believe I should focus more on

my career.”

He was really promising and humble.

“If you manage to sign with Brilliance Entertainment, you’ll need to part ways with your current agent,”

Pearl replied, her tone serious as she shifted the conversation to work matters.

Smiling, Hanzel picked up on the topic. “Are you still willing to be my agent?”

His question, however, struck him as somewhat stupid.
