Chapter 253
Although Richard was jealous, he was still logical. Despite being bummed out, he still compromised. “No contact with other men unless it’s for work”
Then, he recalled something and added, “Not even with Hanzel.”
Pearl found it amusing “He’s your brother. Why are you worried?”
“He’s my brother, not yours. You should stay away from him.”
Pearl nodded as if she understood. Her eyes sparkled, and her l*ps were still pink from the k*ss, which was undeniably seductive.
Richard felt a hint of lust but suppressed it. They tidied up and went home in an awkward mood.
The home was empty. The maid was on leave, and Mobius was still at school, so Richard looked at Pearl, who was next to him, and smiled “We have the place to ourselves.”
Pearl took a step back. “I’m hungry. I’m going to make some food.”
Richard was incredulous. “You can cook?”
Pearl scoffed. “Why can’t I? I lived abroad for years. I can make anything I want, as long as I can find the ingredients for it.”
Richard stared at her and asked sincerely, “Is it good?”
Pearl hesitated and blushed. “I don’t know.”
Richard felt an odd feeling in his heart. “What’s your signature dish?”
Pearl thought about it. “Eggs and bacon.”
Richard was rendered speechless, as that required no special culinary skills. Nonetheless, his stomach rumbled, and he wasn’t a picky eater, so he nodded.
Pearl disappeared into the kitchen and soon emerged with two plates of eggs and bacon. The food appeared a bit overcooked, almost resembling darkened fare.
Pearl looked at him expectantly, so Richard couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He picked up a fork and took a bite.
The taste… was overwhelming.
“Tastes quite nice.”
Pearl was taken aback and touched. “You’re the first person to compliment my cooking, Richard. If you like it, I’ll make it for you all the time.”
Although it was hard to swallow, it was romantic.
Under the dim light, Richard saw her twinkling eyes, and his heart fluttered. He extended his arm, wrapped it around her shoulder, and pulled her close.
Her breath filled the air with a lovely mood. Richard lowered his face, lifted her chin, and moved closer slowly.
Just before they k*ssed, the lights on the second floor illuminated, and Mobius stood there, observing them with a cheeky grin and wide eyes.
“I didn’t see anything!” he exclaimed, though he had closed his eyes.
Pearl’s face turned red as she pushed Richard away and took a few steps back
“There’s nothing to see…” Richard awkwardly coughed and looked at Mobius, then changed the topic. “Are you hungry?”
Mobius nodded knowingly. He walked down the stairs, saw the food on the table, and mumbled, “I’m hungry so I came out to get food.”

He picked up a slice of bacon, took a bite, and promptly spat it out. “What the freak is this? This is dog food.” Pearl momentarily forgot how awkward it was and felt anger.
