Chapter 419
“You’re different. Your b*dy is weak, so if you don’t eat, you’re going to turn into a skeleton,” Raymond remarked to Angela.
“But look how slender Pearl is, and she looks good,” Angela pointed out, gesturing toward Pearl, who had a balanced figure
and an elegant presence.
“She’s not healthy.”
Pearl rolled her eyes. “Who’s unhealthy?”
“Um….” Richard whispered into her ear. “I think you’re unhealthy too.”
Pearl pinched him and smiled through gritted teeth. “What are you trying to say?”
Although Richard was hurting from the pinch, he maintained his expression. “Alright, not skinny.”
Pearl released her grip when she heard the answer she wanted.
Angela had likely thought she wouldn’t be forced to finish the soup when Pearl arrived, but now there were more people persuading her to eat!
After Angela finished her soup, she rested, and Pearl prepared to treat her. They went into the room upstairs, and after half an hour, Pearl emerged from the room, leaving Raymond anxious.
Raymond walked over. “How is she?”
“I’m sorry I-“Pearl began but was interrupted by Raymond’s change in expression. “What are you saying?”
“I said it was a success. She’s fine now.” Pearl smiled cheekily after finishing her sentence.
“Success…” Raymond was momentarily stunned, but when he snapped back to reality, he beamed like a child. “A success, a success!”
Pearl observed him and knew he wouldn’t be as happy even if his company made 500 million dollars, because Angela was the person he cared for the most.
“But she’s resting. Give her some food to replenish her energy. You need to figure out how to make her eat it,” Pearl added, slyly passing the responsibility back to Raymond.
“Okay,” Raymond agreed, looking troubled. Angela was like a precious rose he had nurtured, so he had to do his best to ensure her well-being.
“We’re going to leave now. Text me if you need anything, okay? Don’t text me if nothing comes up.” Pearl then grabbed Richard’s hand and left.
“Don’t worry, I won’t contact you if there’s nothing urgent,” Raymond replied, fully aware of Pearl’s tendency to repay even the smallest favor.
He knew her teasing tone was all in good fun, though he was slightly annoyed as she reveled in her small victory before leaving with Richard.
It was getting late, so Richard and Pearl left for Enswood.
Pearl called Kingsley and asked him to accompany her. On a bright, sunny morning, the trio boarded a plane and set off on their journey.
