Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl didn't think of Santiago as her father because he was never around for her. She already had a bad impression of him from what Saule told her.

She told Santiago bluntly, "Mister Santiago, I don't think we need to be in each other's lives, even if we are related by blood."

Santiago could have looked for Saule any time over the past two decades, but he chose not to. Naturally, Pearl refused to acknowledge such a heartless man.

When Santiago realized Pearl was keeping her distance, he felt upset. "Pearl, you think I'm the bad guy for not looking for your mom."

"You're kidding, right, Mister Santiago?" Pearl couldn't help but smirk. "That was your choice, not mine."

"I"

"If there's nothing else, I should go, Mister Santiago."

Santiago's expression drastically changed. "Is it really that hard to be around me?"

He was sad that the daughter he had waited so long to meet didn't want anything to do with him. Disappointment overwhelmed him.
