Chapter 578
He wanted to shake Pearl out of her current state–she looked like a walking corpse. But
physical violence was not the answer. He needed to find a way to talk some sense into her
and help her change her mind.
Pearl, though stubborn, seemed to be showing a glimmer of acceptance. “I know, I know,”
she nodded as she looked up at Damian, her eyes reflecting a mixture of a smile and
resignation.
Damian.”
Let’s go,
Damian wasn’t expecting her reaction, so he simply replied, “Oh.”
Pearl continued, “Let’s leave Enswood. It doesn’t matter where we go. I just don’t want to
be here
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanymore.” Staying in a place that brought her so much sadness seemed pointless.
“Alright,” Damian agreed, relieved that Pearl was willing to leave, even if he knew she
hadn’t entirely let go of Richard. “Where would you like to go? Hazelton? Or Bodgow? Or
maybe you’d prefer to go abroad?”
Pearl considered her options for a moment before deciding, “Bodgow.” Esther and Clem
were both there. Maybe seeing them would make her feel better.
Damian, sensing her unspoken reasons, didn’t question her choice. “Alright, I’ll book the
tickets. We’ll leave this afternoon.”
At three–thirty that afternoon, Pearl was ready to depart for the airport.
Realizing that she might not return for a long time, she summarized the recent events for
Dustan and Susan, who were saddened by the outcome. They understood that it was
Richard’s coldness that had caused this situation, but they still tried to talk her out of it.
Eventually they realized Pearl wasn’t going to change her mind, so they dropped it.
Standing at the airport gate, Pearl’s eyes had a glimmer of hope. She glanced at her
reflection in the glass doors, and for a moment, she thought she saw someone familiar.
With a happy expression, she turned around, only to be disappointed when she realized it
wasn’t Richard.
Returning to her original position, she waited for Damian.
At three–forty, Damian arrived on his motorbike, took off his helmet, and immediately
attracted the attention of the women nearby.
Pearl greeted him with a smile. “You just had to make an entrance, didn’t you?”
Damian looked at her with annoyance. “Starting to mock me now?”
“Alright, enough of that. The plane is taking off at four. We need to check in.” Pearl picked
up her small luggage and got up from her seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamian didn’t have much luggage. Living in Bodgow, he could easily replace anything lost
in at fire. He had his essentials with him, so there wasn’t much to pack.
Taking Pearl’s ticket from her hand, Damian picked up her luggage and walked to the
boarding gate.
As they walked, Pearl couldn’t help but glance back one last time, her eyes filled with
longing.

“Stop looking back,” Damian advised. “I heard Richard is happily shopping around with
Jenny so don’t expect him to show up.”
Pearl’s hopeful eyes dulled, and she glared at Damian before stepping through the
boarding gate.
Damian smirked, knowing he had lied, and followed her inside.
After they went in, a man sitting behind them raised his eyes slowly, revealing a deep
coldness in his gaze.
