Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 287

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.”

“Don’t you hate her?”

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.”

Richard understood Pearl’s desire to have her mother present at her engagement and marriage ceremonies. Though her father had passed away, there were still some clues left concerning her mother’s whereabouts.

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

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