Tanner smiled. “I’m fine.”
Kamala turned around and left without a word.
When Pearl looked back at Tanner, she looked into his eyes and then looked down. “Are
you... really fine?”
Tanner looked away. “I’m fine. Let me put the nest back.”
After placing the nest back, Tanner turned to look at Pearl, who stood there unmoving.
He slowly got closer and stopped in front of her. “Pearl, there’s no need to feel guilty.
I’m fine.”
But when he saw her tears falling, he was surprised and didn’t know what to do.
He held her face and wiped away her tears. “Pearl, why are you crying?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn’t know why she was feeling so bad. Maybe she remembered their past, or
maybe she just remembered the feeling, but her tears just kept falling.
Tanner lowered his head and lightly kissed where the tears rolled past.
Pearl’s lashes fluttered, but she didn’t move away when he stopped at the side of her lips. Tanner stared at her for
a long moment before slowly kissing her when she didn’t push him away as if she had given him permission.
Tanner kissed her deeply, and he lost it the moment she hugged him. They both leaned back. He didn’t ignore her
feelings like before but instead asked if it was okay.
She looked at him as if she silently agreed.
Tanner brushed his fingers across her cheeks, smiled, and kissed her forehead, nose, and lips.

The sun was redder than usual and turned the maple leaves red. They shook and gave a warm sheen while casting
a shadow on the curtains.
Tanner hugged Pearl from behind, planted his face on her neck, and held her hand while they both looked out the
window. “Pearl, I’m content with what I have now.”
He didn’t want to be greedy and ask for more. This was already the best ending he could ask for.
Pearl looked around. “Would you let Noah have your name?”
Tanner paused and moved the hair away from her neck. “Yes.” He then added, “Not just Noah, you too.”
Pearl was silent.

Tanner kissed the back of her hand. “Even if you don’t marry me, I won’t marry anyone. I’m happy to have a son,
and I’ll reserve the title of my wife for you.”
She slowly closed her eyes.
At Bassburgh’s Private Middle and High School...
Lisa returned to school after her legs were better. The moment she stepped into the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmclassroom, she saw Leah and a few others standing in the corridor.
Lisa’s heart pounded, and she looked away to avoid them.
“You’re alright now?” Leah walked over with her arms crossed. “I guess you’ve been
doing well, gaining weight and all.”
Lisa kept her head low and didn’t say anything.
Lead tapped her shoulder. “Daisie knows about your influencer gig.”
That statement made Lisa turn pale. She bit her lip and held her bag tightly.
Leah was bored. “Don’t worry. I won’t speak to you after this. I just wanted to tell you.”
She leaned in close to Lisa’s ear and whispered, “A chicken will always be a chicken
even if it spends time with a phoenix.”
Leah walked away with the others, leaving Lisa frozen on the spot with tears in her
eyes.
Lisa seemed to be avoiding Daisie for the next few days. Whenever Daisie went to see
her, she would never be in her classroom, and she couldn’t get in touch with her. After
asking a few friends, she discovered she was on the rooftop.
Daisie got to the rooftop, and Lisa was there sitting on a bench.
