Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1032

Richard didn't feel like explaining and just coldly responded, "Isn't that it? What do you mean then?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore," Pearl snapped, storming off upstairs in anger. She completely forgot she was about to share the news of their pregnancy with him.

Hearing the door slam, Richard felt even more irritated. He didn't have the energy to try and comfort her, so after lingering for a while, he left the house.

As Pearl stewed in her anger, she glanced outside to see Richard driving away, which only fueled her fury.

"You're an *sshole, Richard. You don't even appreciate what you have!"

Her emotions were all over the place, perhaps amplified by her pregnancy.

"I don't see the point in having this child. Your dad doesn't even care about me, so why would he care about you?"

The idea of aborting the child crossed her mind. She wasn't ready to be a mother, and Richard's attitude disappointed her. But she quickly pushed the thought away, recognizing it as irresponsible.

Sighing, she buried her head under the covers, wallowing in her frustration, when her phone rang.

Answering it, she heard Esther's anxious voice on the other end.

"Pearl, something happened."

Pearl sat up. "What?"

Esther admitted he hadn't.

"He didn't bother explaining. If he's okay with you getting the wrong idea, why should you stress about it?"

Esther calmed down when she realized that. "You're right, Pearl. If he didn't do it, why should I worry?" Her anger started to rise. "I should show him I can do better and make him jealous. Hmph. That'll teach him for treating me like this."

"Okay, but don't overdo it," Pearl advised.

She decided not to mention her visit to James. If Esther knew and understood James's reasons, she might run back to him without a second thought.
