Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 771

Throughout the entire journey, Pearl and Richard remained silent.

When they arrived at Waldorf Residence, Pearl got out of the car first, and Richard followed behind her, maintaining a noticeable distance. They appeared as if they were not well-acquainted with each other.

Upon entering the house, they were greeted by Ramona, who stood at the door and greeted them with a warm smile. "Mister Richard, Miss Pearl, you've come back together."

Hearing this sent an uncomfortable shiver down Pearl's spine, causing her to momentarily freeze. She tried to speak but was seemingly ignored as Ramona continued, holding up a plate of roast pork she was preparing. "I've made roast pork for you and Mister Richard since I know both of you love it."

"Ramona, I…"

Before Pearl could finish, Ramona returned to her cooking, leaving Pearl feeling a bit awkward. After a lengthy pause, she finally managed to ask Richard, "Have you never brought Winona here?"

Richard hadn't considered it, and he responded calmly, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll bring her here eventually."

Pearl didn't quite know what she had expected, but a wave of disappointment washed over her. She struggled to find words and simply said, "Okay," before walking further into the house.

The birthday celebration for Susan was an intimate family dinner with only a few invited guests. As Pearl entered, she recognized familiar faces.

"You're here, Pearl," Mobius greeted her warmly, then added, "Please have a seat. Esther will be here shortly."

This surprised Pearl. Mobius noticed her reaction and explained, "She's Mom's future daughter-in-law, so I need to bring her here. I've been quite preoccupied with this and haven't had time for her. I asked her to come over and get something, so don't give anything away. It's her first time here, and I want to give her a big surprise!"

"Alright, I messed up there so I won't argue with you," Pearl replied with a smile.

Mobius quickly said, "No, Pea. You know how sharp his tongue can be. You should show him who's boss!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

"You're all in a good mood. I hope my arrival won't spoil it," a familiar voice chimed in, filled with warmth.

Pearl turned to see Hugo standing not far away, staring at everyone coldly.
