Chapter 1393

Esther seemed to resemble more of how Pearl used to be.

Seeing Pearl lost in thought, Esther's frosty face finally showed sexpression. "Welcback, Pea," she

greeted with a chilly smile.

Pearl felt a mix of emotions seeing the unfamiliar side of Esther. She wondered what Esther had been through all

these years to beclike this. Moreover, the fact that they hadn't spent much ttogether for so long made

them feel like strangers.

Without much conversation, Esther instructed her bodyguards to handle the luggage. Then, she spotted the little

boy hiding behind Pearl.

Darius inherited excellent genes from his parents, evident in his captivating eyes. His skin was incredibly

smooth, and he was bound to grow up into a strikingly handsman.

Esther pinched his cheek, a gentle smile finally appearing on her icy face. "You must be Darius. Do you know

who | am?"

Darius nodded calmly. "I know, you're Esther. Since my mom regained her memory, she often talked about you

and showedyour photos. Even though you look different now, I could still vaguely recognize you, so | knew

your name."

His words stirred something in Esther's heart. "So your mom has introducedto you? Wait, did you just say

your mother lost her memory?"

Darius nodded, feeling somewhat helpless. After all, he was just a child and had no intention of hiding anything

from her. "My mom lost her memory temporarily due to sissues, but she only remembered them recently."

Esther turned her gaze back to Pearl behind her, somewhat surprised. "So all these years, you've actually..."

Pearl lowered her head slightly, with a hint of apology on her face. "I didn't expect to lose my memory from that

accident. Fortunately, | survived, but Simon..." Thoughts of her mentor always brought pain to Pearl's heart.

"What happened to him?" Esther interacted with Simon before, and they got along quite well. Seeing Pearl's

expression, she sensed what had happened, and a hint of sorrow appeared. "I understand. Don't be too upset."

Pearl took a deep breath and shook her head. "It's been a long tsince everything happened. The person who

made mistakes back then has been arrested. From now on, we just have to live well."

Esther nodded and didn't say much more.

On the way home, Esther specifically asked Pearl to sit in the scar. Sitting in the back seat, they didn't know

what to say to each other because they hadn't spent ttogether for so long.

In the end, Esther was the one to break the silence. "How have you been lately, Pearl?" Pearl nodded slowly. "I'm

fine, at least | haven't been hurt. What about you? How are you?"

Esther seemed to drop all her pretenses immediately, her icy demeanor melting away, revealing vulnerability.

"I've had a rough tthese years. | missed you so much. In the first

two years, | was desperately searching for you. | had a feeling that you were still alive. Everyone else told me

you were gone, but | refused to believe it."
