Pearl stared at Tanner and did not utter a single word.
‘I’m pregnant.But Mom doesn’t let me tell Tanner about this"
Tanner claimed that he had hurt a woman before this, but he kept apologizing to her.
These things were constantly replaying in her mind like a fragmentary video.
Even though she could not remember anything, she kept on feeling a sense of heaviness looming within her chest cavity, making it very difficult for her to breathe.
"Pearl, what’s the matter with you?"
Tanner wanted t o caress her cheek, but she ducked his hand abruptly.
"I feel a little tired.I wish to rest."
His hand froze in mid-air, only a few inches away from her face.
But seeing that she had said that, he slowly withdrew his hand and could not help but clench it tightly.
After a while, he stood up with a smile.
"Then you should go and grab some rest first.I'll come to visit you some other day."
When Tanner was leaving the manor, Pearl stared at his back and did not know what to think about.
At Bassburgh’s airport...
Maisie got out of the car, only to see Saydie walking out of the exit with her luggage.She had not seen Saydie in almost a year, and there were some changes in her appearance.
Her hair had gotten longer than before, and her shoulder-length hair was side-parted.She used to look like a tomboy, but she looked like a lady now.
Saydie walked up to her.
"Ma’am, I’ve returned."
"Welcome back."
Maisie was about to grab Saydie’s luggage from her when she immediately stopped her.
"Ma’am, I'll do it myself."
She neatly placed her luggage in the trunk and then got into the car with Maisie.
Maisie asked Saydie about her parents while they were in the car, and Saydie kept quiet for a short moment before explaining, "They’ve built a new family.I’ve gotten used to wandering around freely, s o living with them doesn’t suit my lifestyle much."
Her parents now had four children and had long forgotten about the child they had abandoned.
What her sudden appearance had brought to them was not a pleasant surprise but enormous pressure.
In the past, she could not get over the reason her parents would abandon her cruelly.
She did not know why until she met her parents in person.
It was because her parents had suffered to raise all their children, so they could only sell her to another party for the living expenses that they desperately needed.
