Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 

“Does it matter?” 

Pearl found that funny. “Of course it is. Why would I be with someone who doesn’t have feelings for me, Hugo? What is so important in life that you’re willing to give up love for?” 

Hugo paused, not expecting her to say that. 

“Well, of course. There’s a lot more to life than love.” In Hugo’s mind, love was the most useless thing. He probably couldn’t love. 

“Alright, I hope you don’t bring this up with me until you find out what love really is.” Pearl smiled at him and left with luggage in hand. 

The butler stopped her at the door. 

“No, Miss Pearl, what am I supposed to tell Mister Dustan if you leave?” The butler looked troubled as he watched her prepare to leave with her bags. 

“I’m just moving out of the house, not cutting ties with the family. Calm down.” Pearl was amused that he tried to stop her. 

Richard came back at that moment, and when he saw she was leaving, he felt a knot in his stomach but still, pretended he didn’t care. 

“Where are you going?” 

“None of your business.” Pearl rolled her eyes and saw Abby was there with him. She was even more sure 

that she had to leave. 

Abby was shocked. “Why are you moving out?” But she was secretly delighted that Pearl couldn’t handle it anymore and was trying to run away. 

She had nothing on her! 

“You don’t need to worry about that. Doesn’t this work in your favor?” Pearl scoffed at her pretense. 

Abby pretended to be sad again. “You’ve misunderstood me, Pearl. I…” 

“Richard, I have no intention of bullying your precious Abby,” Pearl interjected, her heart ached as she spoke. All she wanted to do was leave. “Alright, I won’t interrupt your date any longer. I’m leaving.” 

Whatever she did would turn into ‘bullying’, so she might as well leave. 

“Pearl, nothing is going on between Rick and me. I just came back to visit Aunt Susan, and Rick just drove me here. It’s not what you’re thinking.” 

Pearl coldly replied, “Whatever you do is your business.” 

Seeing how resolute Pearl was in her decision to leave, Richard felt a chill in his heart. “Are you going to move in with Raymond now?”
