Chapter 463
Pearl snorted. “As if I would get lost.”
“Yeah, Richard said the same thing. He knew you’d find your way back. I thought he was joking, but he really knows you well. I’m glad you’re safe,” Eric replied.
He had the urge to pat Pearl on the head, but Richard pulled him along, saying, “Let’s get back quickly. We have a shoot tonight.”
Eric reluctantly agreed, feeling somewhat frustrated by Richard’s possessiveness.
On their way back, Pearl asked, “Richard, did you write a wish on one of those wooden sticks for a good relationship?
Richard nodded. “Yes, I did.”
“What did you write?” she inquired, curious.
“It’s a secret.”
This response only piqued Pearl’s curiosity further. “Tell me, or I’ll go back and ch*ck it myself.” She even began to turn around as if she intended to go back to the sanctuary.
Surprisingly, Richard didn’t stop her. “Go ahead. We’re only halfway down the mountain. You might as well spend the night up there if you go back now.”
She snorted and complained, “You’re so netty! You won’t even tell me.”
He teased her, “If I tell you, your wish won’t come true. Can you tell me what you wrote?”
This caught Pearl off guard. She hesitated for a moment before casually replying, “I… I wrote something simple, just wishing for safety and happiness.”
However, Richard was unaware that Pearl had actually written two wishes and hung them in two different spots. She had another secret wish, one she had no intention of sharing with him.
“I kept it simple too, much like yours.”
Pearl decided not to dwell on it any longer. “Fine, I’m not curious anymore. Let’s keep going.”
The weather was cool after the rain, and the descent was not tiring. When they arrived at the shooting location, Eric insisted on accompanying them.
Pearl teased him, saying, “We’re going to shoot a k*ssing scene. Can you handle it?”
Eric scoffed. “It’s none of your business.”
In the end, the three of them headed to the film set together.
Upon their arrival, the director was engrossed in explaining the film to Esther. When he spotted Pearl, he hurried over. “Miss Pearl, you’re back. Please get ready. We’ll start shooting soon.”
Pearl nodded and made her way to the dressing room to change into her costume.

of the plaid shirt had been replaced with a low-cut top. She tried to find her previous clothes but realized they were missing.
Pearl wondered if someone was trying to frame her. Keeping her composure, she found no other clothes in the dressing room except for the altered outfit she now held in her hands.
Time passed by. If someone other than Richard came later, she would be exposed.
Suddenly, an unknown actress outside screamed. “I’ve lost my bracelet!”
Losing a piece of jewelry wasn’t a major issue, and the director would likely replace it to calm the actress down, as long as it wasn’t too valuable.
