Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1061

Slowly, Gigi stood up, her face devoid of emotion. "I won't cause any more trouble. I'll go back with you."

Damian finally heaved a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure how she felt, but she agreed to come back, and that was good enough.

He nodded and tried to give her his coat, but she stopped him.

"Don't be kind to me," Gigi said, closing her eyes in pain. "If you want me to let go of you, you have to stop being nice, whether you mean to or not."

Damian understood and didn't push the coat on her.

They left the bar, and for the first time, Gigi sat in the back seat. She was quiet, looking out the window, lost in her thoughts.

Damian tried to talk to her. "We're going to Pearl's house. You need to be sensible-"

"I'm no longer a kid. You don't need to tell me what to do," Gigi coldly interrupted him.

Damian felt awkward and stopped talking.

Pearl and Richard were waiting at the door when they arrived.

Damian opened the car door for Gigi and said, "I'll bring your things to you later."

"Thank you." Her reply was polite but cold.

Damian chatted with Pearl for a bit. For some reason, he didn't really want to talk to her. He was more worried about Gigi, who was quiet and trying to keep to herself. He sighed when she ignored him and left.

Pearl approached Gigi, sensing there was a problem. She asked gently, "What happened? Why did you run away from home?"

"That's not my home," Gigi said stubbornly, her eyes welling up with tears.

Pearl felt sorry for her. "What's so great about Damian? I'll find someone better for you."

"It's okay, Pea. I don't need that." Gigi appreciated Pearl and Damian's concern. She was upset but not angry; she just couldn't accept things for now.

"It's okay. Everyone has someone they can't have. But you need to love yourself first. Then, maybe someone else will too. Do you understand?"

Gigi thought of the man leaning against the wall with a cigarette and shook her head. "I don't want to fall in love with someone else." She was quite stubborn. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Pearl smiled bitterly, then looked at Richard, who smirked. "Gigi is just like you in love."

They both were stubborn about their feelings.

Gigi took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. "Pea, Richard, I'm alright. Don't worry. I'm going to head home now."

She clutched the key Damian had given her tightly, feeling his lingering warmth. She wished all of this was just a bad dream. But he had pushed her away, and it seemed final.
