Chapter 559
Drew’s gaze was intense, filling Pearl with shyness. She had briefly checked her appearance in the mirror earlier. Although the outfit wasn’t her usual style, it seemed rather… cute.
Drew cleared his throat. “Okay, let’s go.”
Pearl nodded and followed him out. They headed towards Alan’s villa.
The Cooper family had moved abroad in the 1960s, rarely returning to their homeland, except for Reese and Drew.
When Pearl and Drew arrived together at the birthday party, it caused a stir among the guests. “Who’s that woman in the car? She arrived with Mister Alan’s most prized grandson.”
“Yeah, she captivated the young man who was featured in the famous scientific magazine in Solvosin!”
“He’s exceptional with his excellent academic record and skills, the most promising young man of his generation…”
“Drew has never had any scandals, and countless people try to arrange marriages with their daughters.”
“I wish I could marry him too. But Drew has never shown interest in anyone.
However, the presence of a woman by his side had everyone eager to see who she was.
Pearl confidently stepped out of the car, holding Drew’s arm as they entered the villa, exuding elegance and nobility.
The crowd fell silent as they realized that Pearl was a perfect match for Drew. It was a match made in heaven.
Unaware of the hushed conversations around them, Pearl turned around, and a man excitedly clutched his chest. “Is she looking at me? Oh my, I’m so happy. Look at her gaze, it’s so passionate!”

Pearl’s arrival had caused quite a commotion and captivated the attention of many young men. Their entrance not only attracted the attention of the guests but also piqued Alan’s interest. As they entered the hall, a woman in formal attire approached Pearl with an invitation. “Miss Pearl, Mister Alan would like to meet you.”
Pearl, noticing the woman’s confident demeanor, didn’t decline the invitation, considering Alan was Reese’s father.
Alan appeared different from what Pearl had imagined. He was slender but full of

were close.”

As Alan shared stories from the past, Pearl learned that her mother had been in Solvosin when she was young and had shared happy times with Alan.
“Your mother was a wonderful young woman. I even considered her as a potential match for my son, but she was in love with someone else. I didn’t want to force her, so I let her go. What a coincidence! I liked your mother back then, and now my son seems to like you. Perhaps it’s destiny.”
Alan reminisced about the past, his eyes filled with memories. He extended his hand to Pearl, who walked over and shook it. “My dear, would you consider becoming my granddaughter–in- law?”
He found Pearl’s appearance and temperament even more impressive than her mother’s.
