"Colton, hold on to these for me.The smoke just got into my eyes."
Daisie handed the uncooked skewers to Colton, who looked reluctant but grabbed them from her anyway.
Barbara picked up a tissue and helped her wipe her eyes, feeling rather helpless and funny.
"How did you manage to get so dirty from only grilling a few skewers?" Zephir looked at Colton.
"Perhaps I can grill them for her?"
"I don’t need your help."
Colton squatted down and placed the skewers back on the grill.
Daisie smacked his head while he was at it.
"Don’t yell at my guest!" He talked back with a cowardly tone.
"Alright, alright, I shouldn’t yell."
Lisa sat in her seat, stared at the noisy but harmonious scene over at the grill, and looked a little downcast and lonely as if it was a scene that she could not fit into.
The Santiago manor looked relatively lonely and still compared to the bustling Goldmann mansion.
Antonio was away because he had to deal with his company’s affairs, so Mrs.Santiago and Pearl were the only ones having dinner at home.
Pearl had just eaten two mouthfuls of food when she suddenly felt nauseous.
She covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.
"Pearl?"
Mrs.Santiago noticed something, and her expression changed slightly.She bent over the toilet bowl's edge, vomited, and then flushed the toilet.
As soon as she got up, she saw Mrs.Santiago standing at the door solemnly.
"Pearl, how...How long has it been since your last period?"
Pearl was startled for a split second, and she shook her head.
Mrs.Santiago knew that she did not remember anything, so it was pointless for her to ask her about that, but it was rather clear to her that her daughter might be pregnant.
‘Pearl has finally gotten rid of all her ties with Tanner, but getting pregnant at this moment is...Karma is really a b*tch"
She grabbed Pearl.
