    wAmocking smile appeared on Hugo''s lips: "Why do you have to be so thorough? It pissed him off."


    “Don''t worry about it. I''ve promised you now, so you should cure my mother as soon as possible." Pearl lowered her head and


    took a deep breath, her eyes betraying a hint of sadness.


    Hugo should be happy to hear that, but he felt a little annoyed. His gaze revealed a mix ofplicated emotions. "So you only


    got engaged to me to save your mother, right?"


    "Isn''t that obvious?" Pearl retorted. Considering his previous behavior and how he had used this situation to manipte her, was


    it even possible that she had feelings for him?


    Hugo got the answer he had expected , and the remaining hope in his eyes shattered. "Okay, | get it. Once we''re engaged, | will


    start treating her."


    “My mom only has a little over a month left to live!"


    Pearl was anxious. She had agreed to all of Hugo''s conditions and ended her rtionship with Richard just to expedite her


    mother''s treatment.


    However, Hugo seemed to be constantly dying it.


    Hugo noticed her icy re, and it pained him further. "When do you want to get engaged then?”


    "Three days from now. Three days should be enough for the preparations."


    Since it was their engagement , Pearl felt the need to show Hugo some respect. After all, Hugo represented not only himself but


    also the Harrison family.

    On the day of the engagement, Pearl was in her room, applying makeup when Hugo suddenly barged in. He was dressed in an


    impably tailored grey suit that entuated his wless physique.


    Observing Pearl seated at her dressing table, a deeper smile appeared on his face. "I''ll give you onest chance. Are you sure


    you''re not going to regret it?”


    Pearl picked up a lipstick and, after applying it, tummed to face the man next to her. "It doesn''t matter now."


    Hugo shrugged. "Very well, then let''s go downstairs together."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
