Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

What bothered Pearl the most was their previous child, who had to be aborted due to health reasons. It had always been a painful memory for her.

Now, a little boy who resembled Richard so much suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help but wonder if he was somehow related to Richard.

Pearl didn't believe Richard would cheat on her, but given the current situation, she couldn't shake off her doubts without evidence. Seeing Pearl upset, Claude refrained from making any sarcastic remarks. "Alright, now that you know, why not ask him about it? See what he has to say. If he admits it, then you can decide what to do. If he denies it, then find out the truth." Claude's advice seemed like the only feasible solution at the moment. Pearl nodded, her mind racing. "In that case, I'll head back first." Claude waved casually. "Talk it out when you get back. Don't jump to conclusions. Once suspicion arises, accusations will follow, which won't be good for your relationship." Pearl stared at him, surprised at how insightful he was.

* Richard had yet to return when she returned home. Only Susan was there.

As Pearl stepped inside, she saw Susan standing by the cabinet, lost in thought. She approached cautiously and noticed the tears in her eyes.

When Susan saw Pearl, she quickly snapped out of it and smiled gently. "Pearl, you're back. Sit down and have a rest. I'll cook for you in a while." "Don't worry, Mom. What are you looking at here?" Pearl was curious and scanned the cabfilled with certificates and trophies.

"All these awards belong to Hugo," she said.

Hugo's nhad been absent for several months, so hearing it mentioned again now brought ssadness.

Pearl looked at all the certificates and awards. She hadn't expected Susan to have set up a cabfor him.

"Hugo has always had a proud personality and likes to be different. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

ne That's why, while others keep their awards in their rooms, his are displayed in the living room where everyone can see them," Susan explained with a faint smile, reminiscing. "Sadly, Hugo will never cback." Ο Pearl also felt deep regret over Hugo's death. But now that he's gone, dwelling on it would only increase her sadness and pain.

Pearl tried to comfort Susan, "Don't be sad, Mom. Perhaps Hugo is happier and more at ease now." "You're right." Susan wiped a tear from her eye. "Hugo had always been competitive. I hope he can relax and be free of deceit on the other side." Pearl sighed inwardly. Nobody wanted to compete with Hugo alt this texcept for him, especially with Richard. He always wanted to outdo Richard but never fulfilled his wish until he died. "Alright, it's not good to always bring up these sad things. You went to the hospital, right? How's your mom?" Susan learned this from Richard earlier and was now mainly concerned about Saule's health She was shocked to find out Pear was Saule's daughter. After patiently listening to Richard's explanation, she learned that Pearl had another biological father.
