Chapter 642
The next moment, Pearl’s eyes widened in surprise as she felt Richard’s soft lips on hers. His lips were soft yet firm, almost like he was punishing her for not listening.
Finally, he bit her lips hard, marking the end.
While they had k*ssed before, Richard had never been this intense.
Breathless from the k*ss, Pearl forcefully pushed him away when he stopped. “What are you doing, Richard?”
“Nothing much. Isn’t this what normal couples do?” Richard remained unusually calm, looking at her swollen lips with a hint of amusement.
Pearl had planned to continue her protest, but she froze when she met his gaze.
Richard’s eyes no longer reflected the calmness from before. They held tenderness, a familiarity from a distant past.
‘No way…‘
Pearl couldn’t describe the sensation. She suddenly felt weak, as if something she had been holding onto for a long time had completed its mission, and she relaxed completely.
She slumped onto the bed, unable to calm down for a long time.
After what felt like an eternity, she spoke slowly, “You remember everything now, don’t you?”
There was no denying it, so he could only answer truthfully, “Yeah.”
Pearl looked at him calmly. “Did you just remember them today?”
Richard’s gaze turned slightly colder. “No.”
“Then when was it?” Pearl felt like she was being played with. He had openly admitted not liking her. Now that he had recovered, he was hiding the truth just to toy with her.
“Yesterday.” Richard then fell silent. He didn’t know how to explain himself.
The moment she appeared at the entrance yesterday, all his emotional memories came flooding back. Seeing her fitting in so easily with everyone around her, he felt a burning anger inside him, so he kept this to himself and deliberately obstructed her.
Pearl couldn’t help but laugh. “You remembered them yesterday, and you’re only willing to admit it now?!”
She felt wronged, a towering grievance. All the grievances she had suffered before suddenly erupted.
“I’m sorry.” Richard was willing to give in because he not only remembered everything that had happened before but also recalled how he had treated her.
He tried to put himself in, her shoes. If it were him, he might have felt completely hopeless, so her current reaction didn’t surprise him at all.
“What’s the use of apologizing now?” Pearl angrily tossed the towel she had been using to dry her hair at him. “So what if you recover now? We’re over.”

Richard stepped closer and held her tightly in his arms. “I know I messed up. I forgot about us, but it wasn’t intentional.”
“Richard, do you know how hurtful your actions were before?” Tears welled up in Pearl’s eyes, and she spoke with a reddened gaze, seeking justice for herself.
Richard lowered his gaze, his eyes filled with remorse. “I know, I know everything.”
