Became A Queen After divorce

“What is going on?! Do the people from Chulae have nothing better to do than eat all day?”

Declan angrily removed his Bluetooth earpiece and threw it aside. He called over a servant to continue monitoring, while he needed to cool down.

“Yes, sir.”

The man watched nervously as his master left. When he put on the earpiece to listen, all he heard was the barking of dogs.

He was puzzled. “Why is it dog barking? Could it be a new code?”

Unbeknownst to him, Cheyenne had discovered their surveillance and mischievously attached the earpiece to a passing dog.

Meanwhile, Declan saw his daughter pacing in her pajamas outside the study. His eyes flickered as he approached her.

“You’ve just recovered. Why aren’t you resting in your room?”

Pearl turned around in surprise and clung to his arm, her dependent demeanor making him feel pleased.

“Daddy, you’re finally back!”

Declan affectionately patted her head and responded indifferently, “Yes.”

“Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Pearl knew he had been with the embassy delegation from Chulae and had even appeared on TV. Compliments flowed from her lips.

“I was thinking about you, Daddy. You looked so handsome today, talking with the Chulae guests like a true diplomat!”

Every man loves compliments, and Declan was no exception, especially coming from his beloved daughter.

“Really?”

“Of course, Daddy, you’re the most handsome man in all of Taswya!”

If he hadn’t seen his own protruding belly, he might have believed her. To tease her, Declan mentioned someone.

“More handsome than Sam?”

Hearing that name, Pearl felt a sharp pain in her heart. She tried hard to forget him, but memories always crept back.

She bit her lip, forcing a smile that didn’t escape Declan’s notice.

“Pearl, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, Dad. Sam is nothing; he’s an old man with no family, a bad temper, and selfish. You’re definitely more handsome!”

The more she spoke, the more her emotions showed. Declan, experienced as he was, noticed something was wrong.

Previously, when he mentioned Sam, Pearl would blush like a shy girl. What happened in those ten days she was missing?

Though she claimed she was traveling and not with Sam, she seemed nervous saying it.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Did you fight?”

“No, who would fight with someone like him? Not worth it!”

“The book says beautiful women don’t argue with bad men. I’m a beautiful woman; I don’t argue.”

“Let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about what you promised me in the hospital. I’ve been back for a day; shouldn’t you…”

Release Mom?

She was prepared with many arguments but didn’t expect it to go so smoothly!

Pearl hugged him excitedly and shouted, “Great! Thank you, Daddy! We can finally be together as a family!”

This had been her dream since childhood. She thought it could only happen in dreams, but fate was kind.

Declan looked at his daughter lovingly and teased her, “You’re a grown-up now and still acting like a child.”

“I’m just a baby of a few dozen months! Who would laugh at me? I’ll pull their beard off!”

Her childish words made Declan laugh heartily. This was his daughter, who brought him joy and hope in despair.

“Let’s go inside.”

“Okay.”

Soon, they arrived at the dungeon. In the dim light, a woman’s gentle singing could be heard.

A candle illuminated her frail figure, creating an isolated feeling.

“Unforgettable hometown, drifting farther away.”

“Unspoken names, etched in scars.”

“Unlifted past, is it love or hate?”

“Unreturned figure, leaving me alone, waiting for dawn.”

The sorrowful Ineburgh song conveyed deep emotions. Pearl felt her mother’s pain through the beautiful melody.

Love and hate were like knives cutting her soul. No, she only felt a fraction of it!

Her mother had been imprisoned for twenty years… How much love and hate remained?

Only Natalia knew the answer. Her buried sorrows might hold faint memories that were hers alone.

But Declan thought differently. To him, Natalia still longed for that home and that man…

Even with him and Pearl before her, she couldn’t see them.

Declan’s face darkened. “She can’t forget that man; I’ll help her forget!”

He turned coldly to leave. He decided not to release her and let her die there.

Seeing this, Pearl knelt before him, clutching his clothes with tearful eyes.

“Daddy! You promised me!”

The noise alerted Natalia inside. The singing stopped abruptly as she called out shakily.

“Pearl? Is that you? Did you come to see Mommy?”

Hearing her mother’s call, Pearl’s heart leaped with joy as she looked at her father.

“Daddy, listen! It’s Mommy calling me.”
