Chapter 583
Pearl and Damian met again outside Jordan Residence, exchanged smiles, and shared a light moment. She teasingly removed a piece of grass stuck in Damian’s hair and burst into
laughter. “You didn’t have to use the doggie door, you know.”
“Do you think I wanted to do that? There were people all around. How else could I get over the wall?” Damian was clearly annoyed and furious.
They walked over to their car, and Pearl’s curiosity got the better of her. She inquired, “How did you know she wasn’t living alone?”
Damian ignored her question, climbed into the car, started the engine with a sly grin, and said, “You’ll never get it. The girl’s clothes fit her well and were very clean. It was obvious someone was taking care of her.”
“I never took you for someone so observant.”
Damian rolled his eyes. “Should I be as reckless as you? How would we find your mom then?”
“Shut up.” Pearl snapped, not wanting to continue the conversation as she glared at him.
Despite their banter, Damian had a soft spot for Pearl. She was a skilled hacker, and her cautious nature was admirable. Yet, riling her up was always entertaining for him.
As they continued their drive, Pearl suddenly fell into a deep slumber in the passenger’s seat, leaving Damian deep in thought. He glanced at her sleeping peacefully and couldn’t help but reach out to gently touch her hair.
“Pearl, why don’t you trust me instead? I’ll protect you,” Damian whispered to himself, a soft smile on his face, avoiding using the word “love.”
Meanwhile, in Enswood, Richard sat alone in his empty house, feeling inexplicably sad and lonely.
Ramona placed his meal on the table and grumbled, “Sir, Mister Dustan and Missus Susan are going on vacation, and young Master Mobius is at school today, so you’ll be dining alone.”
Richard asked, “Where’s Pearl?”
Unaware of the recent developments between them, Ramona thought he had forgotten and replied, “Miss Pearl went to Bodgow yesterday. Have you forgotten?”
“Bodgow?” Richard frowned.
It had almost slipped his mind. Pearl had left for Bodgow yesterday, and he had watched her leave. Although he no longer had feelings for her, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness when he saw her with Damian, who seemed to love her.
Suddenly, Richard remembered his meal. He sat down, picked up a slice of toast, and took a bite just to realize it was tasteless.
He suddenly remembered the eggs and bacon Pearl had cooked back then. Although he didn’t remember the full details, he remembered it was salty and the eggs tasted weird. He gave that to Mobius who kept saying it tasted good, and it was funny.
Without realizing it, a faint smile appeared on his face.
Before he could take another bite, a sweet female voice interrupted his thoughts. “Rick, it’s the weekend, and the weather is lovely. Let’s go somewhere.”
Richard’s smile vanished. He watched as Jenny leaned closer, her collar provocatively open and her cleavage intentionally emphasized. He frowned and replied, “No, I have work to do. You go ahead.”

Jenny looked at him in disbelief. “Rick, you’ve never turned me down before. so cold now?“!
