Became A Queen After divorce

She thought Sam appeared at the critical moment because he had feelings for her too, but it turned out he was just saving her.

“I want to know if it were another woman, would you do the same?”

Even at the cost of your own life…

Sam’s cruel answer reopened her wound.

He wasn’t the kind of man who would let just any woman get close to him. Even for revenge, he had his limits.

“No, you should be grateful you’re Declan’s daughter.”

That was his honest truth.

If Pearl weren’t that man’s daughter, he wouldn’t have noticed her at all, let alone anything more.

“Heh…”

Pearl had always known he was cold-hearted, but she didn’t expect him to be so heartless!

Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up, looking pitifully on the verge of falling.

“What if I say I like you? I want you to be my boyfriend and stay with me forever!”

She had never liked anyone this much before. When she first met Sam, she was captivated by his handsome appearance;

After spending time with him, she realized that he was essentially the same as her-

Equally lonely!

Pearl didn’t want to return to the cold, harsh reality alone anymore;

So once she understood her feelings for Sam, she quickly began to pursue him.

Many times, she felt that he treated her differently.

Why?

Was she just imagining things?

Her bold confession shocked Sam. He heard the word “sincerity” in her voice.

Without looking down, he could feel her gaze, so sad and sorrowful.

“What does Miss Pearl like about me?”

Sam suddenly sighed and said self-deprecatingly:

“I don’t understand romance, I have nothing. Even I don’t know where my future lies. What do you like about me? Why do you like me?”

“Liking someone doesn’t need a reason. You just like them. Sam, I only ask you… do you really not accept my confession?”

“Can you think about it again, I…”

Her pleading words were quickly interrupted by him.

“We are not suitable!”

His merciless words were like the ruthless autumn wind, carrying the last maple leaf from the treetop and landing right on Pearl’s shoulder.

She was also someone with pride. Her first confession in life was harshly rejected by him. The tears she had held back for so long-

Finally fell!

“I will never like you again, sob…”

Her sad words still echoed in his ears as Sam stood motionless, watching her leave in tears.

A faint mist rose in his long, cold eyes, obscuring his thoughts.

He didn’t chase after her; he just quietly watched her leave.

Thinking: [This way, she won’t cling to me anymore.]

[It’s better this way. She is Declan’s daughter. What I’m going to do next will only drive us further apart.]

Rather than making himself conflicted and her sad later, it was better not to give her hope now.

See, he was such a heartless person!

At this moment, a soft and childish voice sounded behind him. A little one with a wrinkled face said:

“Uncle Sam, why did you make Pearl cry?”

Sam turned around to see Sasha in a beautiful white dress and matching shoes, walking towards him with her short legs.

He freed one hand to pick Sasha up and explained with a smile: “It’s my fault, but it’s for her own good. She should go home.”

Sasha didn’t understand the deeper meaning of his words and thought Pearl cried because she missed home.

Actually, Sasha also missed home…

But she was conflicted. If she left too, wouldn’t Uncle Sam be left all alone?

“Sigh.”

The little girl sighed in frustration and said wisely:

“Girls are always more likely to cry. Uncle Sam is a boy; you should be more generous and comfort Pearl.”

Sam couldn’t help but laugh as he gently tapped her nose with his finger.

“Who taught you to say that?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Sasha giggled cutely, showing a few small white teeth.

“Esteban taught me. He comforted me for a long time when I cried before.”

Mentioning Esteban made Sasha a bit sad.

“I wonder where Esteban is now, whether he’s back in his hometown. He said he’d send me a gift when he got there.”

“Sasha, your Esteban…”

Talking about that child made Sam feel heavy-hearted.

“Uncle Sam, what about Esteban?”

Sasha looked up and asked.

How could he tell Sasha that her Esteban might already be dead?

Her bright eyes were full of expectation; how could he bear to tarnish such a beautiful starry sky?

The words reached his lips but were swallowed back down.

He quickly changed the subject and carried Sasha towards the villa.

“Nothing. I was just saying your Esteban should be living a happy and reunited life now.”

This finally put Sasha at ease.

Looking in the direction Pearl had left, Sasha couldn’t help tugging Uncle Sam’s sleeve.

“What’s wrong?”

“Uncle Sam, aren’t you going to chase after sister? What if she encounters bad people out there alone?”

Sam knew Declan had people following and protecting her. After ten days, they should have found Red Maple Villa by now.

Once Pearl stepped out of the villa, someone would protect her in secret, so he wasn’t worried.

“It’s okay. Your Pearl just went out for some fresh air. She’ll come back when she’s hungry.”

“Alright.”

Hearing him say that, Sasha didn’t ask further.

After all, it had always been like this before. Pearl would go out during the day and return on time for meals.

**

On the other side, Pearl left Red Maple Villa heartbroken. The people guarding outside noticed her immediately.

Their eyes met and communicated silently.

Then they followed her steps.

The world was vast; the streets were bustling with people and traffic… Pearl had no idea where to go.

She didn’t want to return to Gilliam Mansion for now…

As for Red Maple Villa, since Sam didn’t like her, she would never bother him again.

She wandered aimlessly on the streets for a long time, like a lonely ghost without a home, her figure tall yet lonely.

People passing by couldn’t help but turn back to look at her.

At this moment, dense raindrops began to fall from the sky, and people on the street quickened their pace.

“It’s raining; let’s go home! Be careful not to get wet; you’re pregnant.”

“I know, honey.”

Pearl enviously watched the couple leave hand in hand, sweetly and lovingly.

“So nice~”
