Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1301

"I don't know. It's the first time I've been a dad. I'm very nervous." Richard was at a loss.

"No, it isn't your first time. You have Chester, right..." At the mention of the child's name, Pearl suddenly stopped talking.

Richard also stopped smiling. "You know that I never feel anything for that kid." Looking at Pearl, his gaze was unreadable. It seemed like he wanted to explain something.

"I know. You don't have to explain so much to me."

Pearl was neither angry nor sad. She had long accepted that child and was fine with him living with them. Besides, her empathy toward Chester deepened after she became pregnant.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, it's always been hard for me to accept." Richard looked guilty. "I don't know how she got pregnant with the kid. I also don't know how to make you accept this because I made mistakes too."

Hearing that, Pearl took a deep breath and hugged Richard. "I've already let it go. It's true. I hope you can stop worrying about this."

Richard sounded sad. "You don't have to force yourself to be okay with this affair..."

"I'm not forcing myself. I've thought about it a lot. Why don't we visit Chester now? Sean said he's going to move abroad with Chester soon. We should see him before he leaves."

Richard's eyes lit up. "Do you really think so? Are you okay with seeing him?"

"Of course. Plus, I know you've been seeing him secretly and giving Sean some money."

"How did you find out?"

Pearl laughed. "You were sneaky, but you didn't hide it well. How could I not know?"

Richard said, "That's not what I meant. I wasn't very interested in him. I just felt that..."

Richard stopped talking. He knew he cared about Chester because they were related by blood. He would feel sorry for him even if he didn't have feelings for him.

"I understand you. I don't blame you either. If I were in your shoes, I might have done even more. After all, you're his father. It makes sense for you to do this." Pearl saw his guilt grow and grabbed his hand. "Okay, stop feeling guilty. I don't blame you. Let's get ready. We're going to Sean's house now."

About forty minutes later, Pearl and Richard arrived at Sean's house. The house had a garden. Chester was using a small shovel and digging in the garden, having fun.

Pearl opened the gate and went in. When Chester saw Pearl, he stopped smiling and looked wary.

They hadn't met many times. Also, Pearl was standing far away, and for a moment, Chester didn't recognize her. He thought a stranger had entered the house.

"Chet, where's your father?" Pearl asked awkwardly because she didn't really think of Sean as Chester's father. "My dad went to work. Oh, it's you." As Pearl got closer, Chester relaxed. "You're... Miss Pearl, right?"
