Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 611

Hugo felt quite sorry for Pearl, seeing her red eyes. "Alright, we'll leave today if that's what you want."

"Then, my mother's illness..."

"Don't worry about it. I won't go back on my word." Hugo reached out to touch Pearl's head, but she dodged his hand, creating a noticeable distance between them.

"Okay, I'll book the tickets now," Pearl said, ready to get up, but Hugo stopped her.

"Have you forgotten that you're supposed to be dead? Booking tickets could expose you. Aren't you afraid Ezra might find out that you're still alive?"

With a lot on her mind, Pearl was growing increasingly frustrated by Hugo's words. She sat back down on the couch to collect herself. "What should we do then?"

Hugo lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and then replied calmly, "We'll take a boat today. Tomorrow, we'll fly to Aflus from another country. Your mother will have to endure some rough seas with us. You'll need to come up with a plausible excuse to deceive her."

An idea struck Pearl. "I have a plan. Don't worry."

Hugo looked at her in shock. "Don't tell me you want to risk everything and tell her the truth."

"Am I that stupid?" Pearl rolled her eyes. "Remember Drew? When you and Jenny forced me to jump into the sea, I bumped into him. He saved me and I got onto his family's cargo ship."

She recalled that unpleasant incident with frustration, and Hugo's reaction mirrored her own discomfort.

"So, you're saying?"

Pearl held onto the pillow and regarded Hugo seriously. "How could you say that, Hugo? Do you think I don't hold a big grudge against you?"

Stupefied, Hugo smiled and said, "We've known each other for so long. I forgot we were once sworn enemies."

Pearl quickly corrected him, "Not just once. It'll always be the same."

Suddenly, without warning, Hugo pressed her onto the couch, catching her off guard.

Pearl's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at him warily. "What are you doing?"
