Chapter 715
Ss smiled when he heard that. "It''s because you''re the one | fell for. You should know that I''ve never been interested in
marrying anyone until now. Now that I''ve found someone | want to spend my life with, they''re delighted. They don''t really care
about who my future wife is."
Pearl felt deted and stopped trying to dissuade him. Suddenly, the scooter began to stutter and stop intermittently, making her
uneasy.
Both Pearl and Ss frowned as they realized the problem.
"It seems like the scooter has run out of battery," Ss noted.
True to his words, the scooter came to a steady halt on the roadside, refusing to budge any further.
It was midnight, and the two of them were stranded by the side of the road.
"You''re quite something. You didn''t even charge the scooter fully when you nned to pick up ady after work," Pearl scolded
with a mix of anger andughter.
“If | hadn''t been thinking about you all these days, | would''ve noticed," Ss retorted with a reasonable excuse, sounding
righteous.
Pearl decided to stop arguing with him and took out her phone to call for a taxi. However, they were stranded in a remote area,
with no other vehicles in sight for several kilometers.
"Ss Quinton! If | can''t get home and sleep tonight, I''ll fire you!" None of this would have happened if he hadn''t insisted on
picking her up after work.
Ss gloomily turned around and tried to shift the me. "How is it my fault? The scooter ran out of battery, and | did want to get
you home."
Pearl continued to question him. "Is this scooter yours?"
"Yes."
"Did you pick me up from work?"
"Yes."
"Then, how could you make excuses?"
Ss conceded defeat since he couldn''t argue with her, but he did so with a hint of stubbornness. "Pea, you''re quite the debater."
His childish behavior left Pearl feeling helpless. Suddenly, she came up with an idea. "Alright, I''ll call for a tow truck."
Ss'' gloomy expression instantly brightened. "You''re smart, Pea."
"Stop ttering me. | wasn''t nning on taking you home."
Lost in their conversation, neither of
them had noticed a car approaching
from a distance. Justasdead

Pearl squinted her eyes to see better. It was a ck car, and the license te looked somewhat familiar.
Her eyes widened when she saw the person stepping out of the car. It was Richard.
"Is your scooter out of battery?" Richard asked, his voice tinged with disdain as he nced at the nearby scooter.
Pearl happened to catch his disdain. It felt as if he were mocking her choice in men, now that she had someone who rode a
scooter after leaving him.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Pearl couldn''t help but notice that Ss was acting dumb in front of her but quite clever in front of others.
