Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 966

Saule staggered and slumped onto the sofa, her face drained of color and struggling for breath.

Pearl quickly sat beside her, gently rubbing her back. "Mom, don't stress too much. It might not be as serious as it seems."

Richard offered his reassurance, "Ma'am, there's no need for worry. Pearl is outstanding, so her biological father must be a decent man, given how amazing she is."

Saule glanced at Pearl, trying to comfort herself with the thought. Indeed, having such a wonderful daughter implied the father was remarkable too.

Yet, for Saule, the idea that she had a child with a man unknowingly was deeply shameful.

"I hope you're right..." She sighed deeply and began to cry.

"Mom, don't worry. I'll find the truth about what happened back then," Pearl promised.

Saule hesitated, uncertain if the truth should be sought.

If Pearl couldn't find it, perhaps it was for the best. But what if she did? The father might not recognize them or be the person they hoped for. Worse, he could be deceased.

Imagining various outcomes, Saule concluded it might be easier not to search for him. Discovering his identity could lead to more complications.

"Just let it go. Let bygones be bygones." She was hesitant to revisit the affair.

Since Pearl and Richard were not related, Saule saw no reason to oppose their relationship. She wouldn't lose such a good son-in-law, and the thought filled her with gratitude.

"I won't insist on a divorce then. Rick, please take good care of my daughter." Saule looked hopeful.

"Of course, ma'am. Pearl is safe with me," Richard assured, comforting Saule with his commitment.

Just then, Pearl received an urgent call from Wayne.

"Miss Pearl, something's wrong!"
