Sean burst into laughter. “You think so poorly of me.”
“Okay, what do you want?”
Sean didn’t beat around the bush and said, “Be my girlfriend for a day.”
“No,” Pearl immediately refused, showing no hesitation.
“Why not? You have nothing to do with Richard now. Why hold onto your integrity?” Sean laughed
while listening to the running bath. “Why are you so infatuated with him?”
Sean appeared to be mocking her at that moment. As expected, Pearl was infuriated and snorted. “I’m
just not that easy. I’m not preserving my dignity for him!”
“Well, I won’t know either. But you’ll have to ask someone else for help if you say no.”
This was the only time Sean didn’t give in to her. His words made Pearl hesitate. It might be her only
chance and the best choice for her. She could get what she wanted by being his girlfriend for a day,

have my word.”
Sean laughed heartily. “Alright, let’s make it tomorrow. I understand that it’s quite urgent for you.”
Pearl nodded without much emotion. “Okay, I’ll wait for you at the city center at eight tomorrow
morning.” She then remembered the Cooper Residence. “Did you guys go abroad?” Sean found her
question amusing. “It’s all because of you. Your fake death caused an uproar. We had to move out and
go somewhere else to avoid public scrutiny.”
Pearl smiled. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Don’t forget to show up early tomorrow.”
Pearl’s gratitude disappeared instantly. “Got it. See you tomorrow.”
She hung up, and at that moment, Drew emerged from the bathroom, drying his hair. He was surprised
to see his phone in Sean’s hand.
“Sean, why are you holding my phone?”
Sean discreetly deleted the call log and smiled gently. “I used your phone to make a call since I couldn’t
find mine.”
Drew nodded, but Sean’s smile made him uneasy. “Sean, aren’t you sad? Aren’t you bothered by Pearl
leaving you?”
Pearl was a reserved woman, but she could also be sweet and extremely attractive. Even Drew had
been charmed by her.
Moreover, Sean had agreed to change his surname, with the only condition being to marry Pearl. Drew
couldn’t understand why Sean would be willing to let Pearl go after agreeing to everything else.
