Chapter 1364

Richard leaned closer, his tone teasing. "Richard, please be careful with your words. The kid might hear us." Worried, Pearl glanced behind, hoping the noise hadn't awakened Darius or shown him something inappropriate. "He's asleep, it's fine." Laughing, Richard lifted her into his arms. Startled, Pearl clung to his neck. "Where's the bedroom?" Biting her lip, Pearl whispered, "The bedroom is too close to Darius's room. Let's go to the guest room."
