Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1304

"No, but I found your photo in my dad's room. So, I guessed he likes you."

Then, Chester stared at Pearl's face and asked, "Miss Pearl, my dad really likes you a lot. Don't you want to be my mom?"

Pearl looked into his honest eyes. For a second, she wasn't sure what to say. "Well, Chet="

"Miss Pearl, it's not just my dad, I like you a lot too. I don't want anyone else to be my mom, just you, because I think you're really nice."

Pearl laughed, feeling a bit awkward. "Chet, it's not something you can decide by yourself. We should see what your dad thinks. Also, I'm already married. I can't be your mom."

Chester looked confused. "Why not? You're married, but you could get divorced, right?"

Divorce... Did kids think divorce was that simple?

Pearl was rendered speechless. "Let's not talk about this anymore, Chet. I love my husband a lot. I'm not going to get divorced."

"So you can't get divorced and be my mom?" Chester couldn't hide his disappointment.

"No, I can't."

"Okay, but come with me to my dad's study. I want to show you something." Chester let the subject drop since Pearl said no. He was just a kid, after all.

Pearl followed Chester into the study because she couldn't convince him otherwise.

The study was small and tidy. The decor was as cold as Sean himself.

Pearl went to the desk and noticed a photo album. As she expected, there was a photo of her in it. It was just a shot of her back and part of her face as she was turning.

Chester, with his keen eyes, immediately recognized it was Pearl. Pearl herself might not have recognized it.

She picked up the photo and looked at it closely. When Chester saw her interest, he quickly came over. "Is this you, Miss Pearl?"

Pearl nodded. "Yes, it's me."

Chester's words took Pearl by surprise. "Chet, of course, you're Sean's son. Why would you think that?"

"I think he's not the kind of man who would just sleep with someone and have a kid."

Pearl almost agreed, then remembered seeing Sean being intimate with another woman a long time ago. She quickly changed her mind.

Sean was not that simple and pure...

However, Pearl couldn't say much to Chester. She just agreed with him. "Your dad is a really good man."

"Well, let's not talk about that since you don't want to be my mom." Chester suddenly remembered something and added excitedly, "Miss Pearl, I'll get you a gift, okay?"

Then, he ran out of the room before Pearl could answer. She meant to stop him, but he was too quick and disappeared.

Pearl then looked around the study to see if anything else was interesting.

Suddenly, she walked to a corner and spotted a familiar photo.

It looked like it was... Richard.
