Pearl blinked with disappointment while looking at Richard.

Rubbing her head affectionately, Richard replied, “Yes, I’m aware of it.”

“I want to find my mother before getting engaged.”

Pearl shook her head. “I don’t remember much about her because she left when I was very young, but I know she’s a gentle and kind woman. She wouldn’t have given up on my father and me so easily, and I suspect there’s more to her disappearance.”

Naturally, Richard didn’t object. “Okay, we’ll search for her together.”

Pearl beamed with gratitude. “Thank you, Richard.”
