Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 607

“Really? You’re going to Jordan Residence today?” Pearl held Hugo’s hand excitedly. She had expected to wait for a long time, but Hugo agreed quickly.

“Yeah, someone might cause a scene at my house if I don’t show up.” Hugo glanced at their hands briefly and withdrew his hand with a hint of disdain.

“Who’s going to make a scene?” Displeased, Pearl picked a cherry tomato from a salad bowl and threw it into her mouth. She would let him off the hook for now since he was helping her mother. “Okay, do you need me to go with you?”

Putting the spatula down, Hugo watched her casually pick up the salad and said contemptuously, “You? Aren’t you afraid of getting caught again if you come with me?”

“Tsk!” As Pearl finished her salad, she put aside her suggestion. She knew Ezra wouldn’t let her go. “Alright, you go ahead.”

Hugo finished grilling the last steak, sprinkled some black pepper on it, and served it on the dining table outside. “Bring the plate of fried eggs, and we can start eating.” He ordered her around as if it were perfectly normal.
