Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 87

They were only one road away from each other, but Richard sat in his car, quietly looking at Pearl in hers. He wanted to ask her about what had happened, but didn't at the end. 

Pearl was a woman who was strong and analytical. She would always be calm upon facing trouble and rarely lost her temper. Her splashing Adriana with water today was already an unbelievable thing to him. There should be something that he hadn't known. 

"Mr. Zellweger, Dr. Yonng has started her car. Should we still follow her?" Richard's assistant said. After Richard said 'yes', the car started to catch up.

The car followed Pearl all the way to the entrance of her apartment building. After watching her car enter the gate, Richard sat in his car silently. 

The car was quietly parked to one side. The assistant held the steering wheel and couldn't help but blurt out, "Mr. Zellweger, you really care a lot about her."

Richard slightly frowned. 

Although he was unwilling to acknowledge it, it was the truth. Ever since he knew that Pearl had returned to Kityall City, he found it hard for him to not pay attention to her. 

"What do you think about the thing happened in the restaurant today?" Richard asked.

Ted was stunned, as this was probably the first time that Richard had asked for his personal opinions. Thinking for a while, he eventually said, "Perhaps there was some sort of misunderstanding."

Richard remained silent, but from his look, he actually wanted Ted to continue.

"Dr. Yonng looks like a person who is easy to get along with. She wouldn't do that thing for no reason, especially in public. So I think Miss Wood must have said some things that had angered her."

"What could it be?"

"I'm not sure about this." Ted looked at Richard hesitantly. 

Although Ted didn't have much contact with Pearl, it was not difficult for him to get to know her personality. She must haven't splashed water on Adriana for no reason. 

After a long while, Richard had Ted start the car.

The black car then rejoined the traffic on the street.

Richard said, "Go and investigate the matters of her children's school application. And help them get into the school."

"Yes, sir."

...

Late night, in the living room, the wine bottles were piled up on the table.

Pearl hugged a pillow and laid on the sofa. She was feeling a headache. Usually, when her kids were by her side, she could only suppress her feelings. Now that her kids were staying with her father, she was alone now. 

She was not good at drinking. After a few bottles of wine, she was already tipsy. Her body was weak, and that helped her fall asleep easier. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see were the scenes of the past.

She and Adriana had known each other for a long time. The Wood and the Yonng family had had business deals in their early years. Even though their families gradually lost contact, the two of them had become bestie. They spent time together most of the time. 

It was because of her kindness to her best friend and a lack of defences that had hurt her so much.

She felt dizzy, and she didn't even know if the memories she was reliving were real or if they were just a dream.

"Will you really enroll in Dr. Wale's lab class, Pearl?"

"Yes."

"Then you're in trouble, I heard that Dr. Wale does not like students who are in a relationship. He thinks it will distract students from their studies. What if he knows that you have a boyfriend?"

"Are you serious? He doesn't even let people be in a relationship?"

"I don't know. I heard it from my seniors."

"How could that be, I can't even be in a relationship?"
