Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 371

Pearl couldn't ignore the fact that Dustan's reaction spoke volumes. It was evident that he didn't want her to be with Richard, but no one had explained why. It felt like they were conspiring against her in silence.

"I'm done so I'm going to sleep," Pearl casually said as she stood up and headed to her room.

"Pea, what's going on?" Mobius noticed she hadn't touched her food.

"Stay out of it, kid," Sean said. He sensed that something was amiss, though he didn't fully understand the conflict between them. Based on their reactions, it seemed like Pearl had been stripped of her right to be Richard's wife. However, he didn't want to get involved in the family drama.

In her room, Pearl sat on the bed, lost in thought, unable to comprehend why she was being treated this way.

Suddenly, her phone rang—it was Wayne calling.

"Yes?" she answered.

Wayne, always perceptive, immediately noticed something was wrong. "What's up, Pea? You sound tired."

Pearl frowned hearing the noise coming from Wayne's end. "You're at a bar?"

"Yes, the usual, Dark Bar. Come over."

Pearl had initially planned to clean up and go to bed, but Wayne's enthusiastic invitation piqued her interest and dispelled her sleepiness.

She went downstairs and drove to the Dark bar.

The bar was lively and noisy as usual. Pearl headed to their usual booth and found Wayne sitting alone, holding a drink.

She grabbed a bottle of beer and downed it in one go. "What's up? You look even sadder than I am."

Wayne almost choked on his drink. "No, I'm not. What's going on with you? Did Richard allow you to go out for drinks at this hour?"

"Don't mention him!" The mere mention of Richard's name made Pearl gulp down more alcohol.

Wayne set down his bottle and asked, "What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Pearl shook her head. "We didn't argue, but it looks like we're headed for a breakup."

"A breakup? Did you run into a problem you couldn't solve and had to break up?" Wayne's expression was exaggerated.

"I don't know." Pearl leaned back on the seat, lacking her usual energy.

Suddenly, Wayne recalled something he had heard and couldn't resist asking, "Is it because of Jenny? I saw it in the news. She's Richard's first love, right?"

Pearl's lips twitched. "I don't think so." She trusted Richard. Even if he were holding Jenny's hand, she would still trust him.

Wayne rolled his eyes and said, "You don't understand men at all. They never forget their first loves."

"Oh?" Pearl became intrigued. "Are you saying you've never forgotten your first love either?"

"Of course…"

"Ah!" Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the neighboring table, and one of the girls entertaining guests was pushed to the floor.
