    “What’s going on?”


    Pearl found herself face to face with the person she least wanted to meet at the worst possible


    moment–Richard.


    She looked at him standing before her and offered an awkward smile. “Nothing much. My car just ran


    out of gas. I’ve called for a tow truck, and I’ll grab a cabter.”


    Richard frowned and said, “Do you need a ride?”


    In the past, he would have insisted on taking her with him, but now he had to politely offer assistance.


    Pearl shook her head. “No, I can manage.”


    Richard suddenly got excited. “Didn’t you say I’m your boyfriend? Shouldn’t I help if that’s the case?”


    Although he was reluctant to acknowledge their rtionship status, he still held the title, so he felt


    obligated to do his best.


    Pearl couldn’t help but feel the irony. He was offering help because of their rtionship status, not


    because of his love for her.


    Taking


    ?


    deep breath, she replied, “It’s fine. I can deal with this.”


    Richard looked at her intently. “Alright, I’m heading off then.”


    Pearl watched as he drove away and felt a sense of sadness welling up


    inside her.


    “Why are you standing here?”


    Another familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.


    Pearl turned around and knew her tears were going to be noticed.


    Damian indeed saw it and rolled his eyes. “Wasn’t that your boyfriend? Why didn’t he help you?”


    Pearl smiled sadly. “Didn’t I already tell you yesterday? Why would he help me?”


    “So why are you still with him? He doesn’t love you anymore, so continuing this just hurts you,” Damian


    remarked, sounding like he was mocking her, but he still grabbed her arm and pulled her into his car.


    “Leave your car here, and I’ll arrange for a tow truck toeter.”


    Pearl looked up in shock. “You’re attending the party too?”


    “Yes, I’m a Scott,” Damian replied as he started the engine, resting one hand on the steering wheel and


    the other on Pearl’s head. “Don’t be sad. If you can’t handle this, I’ll take you back to Aflus with me.”


    Sadness flickered in his eyes as he saw her in this state.


    Pearl sniffled but didn’t say anything.


    They soon arrived at Cooper Residence. Pearl stepped out of the car and noticed a familiar silhouette


    nearby, engaged in conversation with ady.


    It was easy to recognize Richard by his tall, straight posture. The person he was speaking to was


    Jenny!


    Pearl’s heart seemed to stop.


    Damian leaned against the car, crossing his arms and watching the two engage in a seemingly cheerful


    conversation that appeared somewhat scandalous. He couldn’t help but smirk. “If I recall correctly,


    Jenny is Richard’s ex, isn’t she?”


    Pearl nodded.


    “It looks like your boyfriend is falling for someone else.” He pointed at the two of them chatting


    animatedly.


    Pearl forced a sad smile, her heart aching at the sight.
