Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 751

Pearl forced a smile. "Ma'am, you've got it wrong. Silas and I are just friends."

Camila didn't seem bothered. She smiled gently and said, "That's alright. You'll grow to like each other as you spend more time together."

Luke stood nearby, nodding as if he was trying to avoid getting scolded by Camila.

Elijah had a smile on his face as he listened to the young ones chatting. But when he heard that they weren't in a relationship, his expression changed. "Silas, what's going on?"

Silas had previously mentioned that Pearl was his future wife. Besides, he had expected Pearl to give this response. He replied calmly, "We should take things slow in relationships."

Elijah looked displeased with Silas for disappointing him. Then, he turned to Pearl and greeted her warmly. "Oh, Pearl. Come here and let me have a look at you."

Pearl smiled and went over since she found Elijah friendly. "Sir, you know me?"

Elijah started explaining, "Of course. Your grandfather and I were best friends. We started a business together when we were young, and he even promised that our families would have an arranged marriage."

An arranged marriage?

First, it was the York family, then the Cooper family, and now the Quinton family. Ezra seemed to have a lot of best friends. But he seemed to forget that he only had a granddaughter.

"Ah, by the way, Pearl, I haven't asked you. Are you engaged to anyone?"

"No," Pearl answered honestly.
