Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 81

Pearl's question caught Hugo by surprise, but he asked patiently, "What's wrong? How did you know?"

After a brief contemplation, Pearl decided to be honest with him because she felt that it was okay. "In today's interview, a woman named Katie Sullivan addressed Richard as her brother-in-law, and his reaction was quite dramatic."

Katie Sullivan…

Hugo raised an eyebrow and smiled as he confirmed, "Yes, Richard did have a girlfriend named Jenny Sullivan. Katie is her younger sister."

Biting her lip, Pearl pressed on, "Why did they break up?"

After looking around, Hugo whispered, "It was because Jenny wanted to pursue her dream abroad and didn't want to be limited to our country. Richard, on the other hand, didn't want her to be so far away from him. Jenny ended the relationship, but he hasn't dated anyone else since."

Pearl felt a sudden emptiness inside her upon hearing the whole story.

"So, you're saying that Richard liked that woman very much?"

Hugo smiled in approval. "Absolutely. He wouldn't have remained single for so long if he didn't. Besides, he used to smile more often, even though he wasn't as gentle back then."

He paused and offered a comforting smile as he observed Pearl's distracted expression.

"Maybe you have feelings for Richard, but... no one can predict the emotions of one's past. However, don't take it too seriously. Richard treats you in a special way too. Perhaps you're the—"

Pearl cut him off. "Okay, stop."

She felt that Richard would never fall for another woman because he liked his ex-girlfriend so much.

After that, Pearl went upstairs and returned to her room.

Feeling upset, she sat in her room and turned on her laptop to investigate Richard's past.

[I'll come by later. Let's meet at the bar.]

[Okay.]

After receiving Wayne's reply, Pearl turned off her laptop and headed out. However, she unexpectedly bumped into Richard, who had just returned home.

"Where are you going?"

Pearl snorted. "I don't think it's any of your business."

Pearl's sudden fierceness puzzled Richard and made the latter frown. "It's already seven o'clock. You're going out this hour?"

However, Pearl shot him a frosty glare. "I'll say it again. It has nothing to do with you. Focus on your own affairs."
