Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 

Lunch was soon ready, so Laura stopped arguing with Hanzel and led Pearl by her hand into the house, leaving Hanzel there looking annoyed. 

At the dining table, Allan kept zoning out as he looked at Pearl’s familiar face. He finally spoke up, saying, “May I ask you a question?” 

Pearl smiled and replied, “Your curiosity is showing. Go ahead, I’ll do my best to answer.” 

Allan nodded. “What’s your father’s name?” 

“My father…” Pearl’s mind briefly wandered before she answered, “Max Leighton.” 

An awkward silence hung over the table. 

” 

Puzzled by Allan’s lack of response, Pearl inquired further, “Is something wrong? Do you know 

“More than that, Pearl. Do you remember your mother’s name?” 

Pearl was silent for a moment, then said, “Beah.” 

my dad?” 

Hearing that name, Allan’s eyes welled up with tears. He wanted to say more but refrained, considering the presence of a child and Hanzel, to avoid making Pearl feel uncomfortable. 

“That’s a nice name. I might have remembered wrongly.” 

After lunch, while Hanzel and Laura continued working on their flower crown, Pearl went to Allan’s room. Both Allan and Lindsay were present, and tears filled their eyes upon seeing Pearl. 

“Pearl…” 

Pearl seemed to understand the situation and asked, “So… I’m a Jordan too?” 

She recalled her mother never mentioning any connection to the Jordans when she was alive. She had believed that her mother grew up in a normal family, as her father was just a carpenter. 

“Not only that, your mom is my sister, the only daughter of my dad,” Allan said. 

Pearl had heard about the Jordans. Twenty years ago, the daughter had eloped with an unknown man. Master Jordan, who deeply loved his daughter, was concerned about her reputation being tarnished, so he had worked tirelessly to keep the man’s name and pictures hidden.
