Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1139

Sabrina felt uneasy the moment she saw Claude. She tried to avoid him, but he spotted her.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Claude walked closer, casting a shadow over her.

"Isn't it obvious? I've asked you to stay away. Can't you take a hint?" Sabrina's patience snapped.

"Can't you see the reality, Sabrina?" Claude tried to keep calm, his frustration barely hidden. "You're carrying our baby. Do you really want our child to grow up without a father?"

Without thinking, Sabrina's hand went to her belly, but she quickly turned away. "What does that have to do with you? I'll find a father for my child."

Claude was astonished by her stubbornness. He had never met anyone like her and felt his temper rising. "Sabrina, don't you care about me even a little bit?"

Sabrine paused, then smirked. "Do I really need to spell it out for you?"

Claude was taken aback and felt suddenly alone.

"Stop disrupting my life." Sabrina sighed. "You know I can never be with you."

It was the truth. An anxious person could never have a proper relationship with anyone.

Sabrina was speechless.

"James never loved you, and that's why he's with Esther. Why can't you see that?"

Claude's words stung because they were true. Sabrina had been telling herself the same thing to get over James, but hearing it from someone else was a bitter pill.

"It's none of your business!" Sabrina tried to push him away, but she pushed too hard. Claude stumbled back and hit a tree.

There was a loud 'thump'. When Sabrina looked back, Claude was on the ground, unconscious with his eyes closed.
