Chapter 416

The word “engagement” struck Richard deeply, and he responded with a resolute “Of course.”

“But I need to save Angela first,” Pearl added, her concern evident as she thought about Angela’s illness. “I’m going

to the black market in Ancard. Come with me.”

Richard smiled. “Sure ”

After their conversation, Pearl went to sleep and she felt someone guarding her while gently touching her face.

When she woke up, she felt refreshed and walked down the stairs to a delightful smell of food.

“Richard?”

“So you’re not going to eat?”

“Of course I am. This is the first time you’re cooking. I have to respect that.” She couldn’t help but be surprised by

the spread of food on the table. “Richard, even I can’t cook this much. How did you manage it? You’ve never had to

Richard had a hint of a playful grin on his face. “I’ve cooked before, you know.”

Pearl’s smile froze because all she could think was that he cooked for his ex. “Oh, how did it go?”

Richard didn’t catch the change in her tone and answered straightforwardly, “It was terrible. People might even die

Pearl slammed her fork on the table in frustration. “You’re really nice to your ex!”

Richard shook his head. “No. I just recently learned.”
