Chapter 336

Blake gulped. He braced himself for an impending blow from Richard, expecting a direct punch any

moment.

Unexpectedly, Richard’s expression shifted to one of hurt, a hint of pain visible in his eyes. Wifey, he

started it.”

Pearl was rattled to the core. Was Richard trying to act coquettish?

Standing by Blake, Glenn mirrored his astonishment, their jaws practically hitting the floor. This tall,

strong man behaving coyly was an unforeseen twist.

Hold on… “wifey”?

Pearl pointedly thumped Richard’s head. “We’re not married yet. Don’t call me that randomly.

“It’s just a matter of time,” Richard smirked, oozing confidence that he had ways to handle her.

Glenn couldn’t contain his shock any longer. With an inexplicable tinge of sadness in his eyes, he stood

up. “I need to attend to something. I’ll leave first.” With those words, he departed abruptly.

Richard and Pearl had their own matters to tend to, so they left as well, leaving Blake to rest

undisturbed.

As he watched the two exit the room, Blake’s smile vanished as he made a call. “Come back. I know

you’re still here.”

After a while, Glenn re-entered the ward, the scent of smoke clinging to him, his eyes slightly red. “How

did you know I didn’t leave?”

“Tsk.” Blake chuckled, finding it amusing. “I know you too well. Your eyes were practically glued to

Pearl. If I couldn’t figure out your thoughts, then what’s the point of being good friends with you for so

long?”

“But Pearl has a boyfriend, and they seem quite compatible. My feelings don’t matter.” Glenn sighed

bitterly. He never intended to compete with Richard, but seeing the two as a couple made him

incredibly uncomfortable. It wasn’t just discomfort he felt; it was jealousy.

“By right, I should support your pursuit of happiness, but you know Pearl. Once she decides on

something, she sticks to it, and no one can change her mind.” Blake sighed, continuing, “Plus, Grandpa

has found more suitable matches for Pearl and wants to introduce them to her. Richard might face

many obstacles.”

“I’m fine, I know it’s impossible. I’ll slowly let go.” Glenn shook his head.

Blake nudged his arm, “Wanna drink?”

“Yeah, sure!”

After days of sobriety, Glenn finally relented.

As Pearl and Richard settled into the car, the latter wore a sullen expression, unwilling to converse

much with Pearl.

“Why are you upset again?” Pearl struggled to comprehend Richard’s mood swings. Since they

became a couple, his emotions had been unpredictable, making him inscrutable.

“He likes you,” Richard said gloomily.

Pearl’s expression was a mix of disbelief as her lips twitched. “Richard, are you serious? I see him as a

brother, we’re related by blood.”

“I meant the one next to him.” Richard pursed his lips.

Pearl waved it off dismissively. “Even more reason to dismiss that thought. He has a younger love

interest so he couldn’t possibly like me.”

“My instincts don’t go wrong.” Richard furrowed his brows in anger. The way that man looked at her

was almost besotted-no one would believe there wasn’t something there.

“Fine, even if he does like me–which, in this situation, is impossible – there’s nothing, and there never

will be anything between us.” Pearl took a deep breath, speaking earnestly, “We’re already together,

Richard. You should trust my feelings.”

It was exasperating. She genuinely wished she could peek into Richard’s mind to understand what was

going on!
