Chapter 429

Richard couldn’t quite grasp what Pearl had in mind, so he decided to search on his phone.

“Bedtime stories to put your girlfriend to sleep.”

After scanning through some options, he furrowed his brows and finally settled on his favorite story.

“The little prince loved cherries, and the king planted a lot of cherry trees. There was a fairy living in one of the trees. The prince eagerly anticipated the growth of sweet, red cherries on the trees, but as time passed, they didn’t appear.

“The prince felt sad, and that’s when the fairy living in the tree emerged. She said, ‘Kiss me, and the cherries will start to grow. ‘So, the prince puckered up his lips and kissed the fairy. Blushing, the cherry fairy made the tree immediately sprout red cherries.

“When the prince puckered up again, the fairy said, ‘The cherries are sweet enough, so there’s no need for more kisses.’ The prince beamed and replied, ‘But you’re sweeter than the cherries.”””
