Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 626

Hugo would prepare food and call out to Pearl, but she never came out of her room. He started to worry that she might starve herself.

Just when he thought Pearl was going to die, her door suddenly swung open. She appeared dressed nicely, with tidy hair and healthy-looking skin.

"I thought you were going to starve yourself to death." Hugo leaned against the door, looking casual with a cigarette between his fingers.

Pearl scoffed. "Don't worry, Gigi brought me food every night."

Hugo shifted his gaze to Gigi, who stood nearby. She lowered her head in shame and scratched her head.

Her scars were healing, and the burns were fading. New skin was growing, and she was recovering well.

"Pea said she didn't want anyone bothering her and didn't want to see you either," Gigi explained, taking Pearl's side.

"Good job. You sisters have each other's back, so I can't win this argument. It's fine if you don't want to see me, I just won't cook for you."

Pearl glared at him. "Don't then. The food you make isn't half as good as what Gigi makes."

Gigi blushed and felt embarrassed. "The food I brought to you were leftovers."

Hugo grinned. "Should I make more so you have leftovers?"

Pearl blushed when she saw him smiling like he was flirting, then turned away. She knew she should thank him but felt too embarrassed, so she changed the subject.

Soon, his relief gave way to anger at the idea of her cheapening herself.

Gigi, however, remained steadfast in her opposition. "I won't let you go to a place like that! If you do, I'll tell Aunt Beah!"

Pearl felt the stress mounting. This girl, who usually appeared so fragile, had suddenly become so tough.

"Tell me what?"

The voice that came from behind made the three of them freeze.
