“I wasn’t sure either. I always thought it was Sean because why would he taunt me every time, but there was one time I asked him, and he said he didn’t do it.”
Pearl found it hard to believe. “Maybe he was lying?”

Richard pulled her into his arms and pressed his chin on her forehead. “Think about our sweet time together, right, missus?”
‘Again with this nickname?’ Pearl felt like she was blushing all over. What was going on with Richard? He didn’t have a lot of relationship experience, but he seemed to be quite
skilled at flirting!
“Richard, you always put up a cold front, but you’re secretly a closet minx, aren’t you?”
The term “closet minx” hadn’t crossed Richard’s mind, so he froze and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Um…” Pearl slapped her forehead. “Never mind.”
