Chapter 607

“Really? You’re going to Jordan Residence today?” Pearl held Hugo’s hand excitedly. She had

expected to wait for a long time, but Hugo agreed quickly.

“Yeah, someone might cause a scene at my house if I don’t show up.” Hugo glanced at their hands

briefly and withdrew his hand with a hint of disdain.

“Who’s going to make a scene?” Displeased, Pearl picked a cherry tomato from a salad bowl and threw

it into her mouth. She would let him off the hook for now since he was helping her mother. “Okay, do

you need me to go with you?”

Putting the spatula down, Hugo watched her casually pick up the salad and said contemptuously, “You?

Aren’t you afraid of getting caught again if you come with me?”

“Tsk!” As Pearl finished her salad, she put aside her suggestion. She knew Ezra wouldn’t let her go.

“Alright, you go ahead.”

Hugo finished grilling the last steak, sprinkled some black pepper on it, and served it on the dining table

outside. “Bring the plate of fried eggs, and we can start eating.” He ordered her around as if it were

perfectly normal.

Baffled, Pearl wondered why she should obey him, especially since she wasn’t his housekeeper. She

turned around stubbornly as if she hadn’t heard him.

“Get the plate now, or you won’t be eating.”

“Can’t you do…” Pearl gritted her teeth, ready to argue with him, but then thought of her mother

possibly arriving soon. If her mother found out she hadn’t eaten breakfast, she’d worry. So, she

reluctantly went to the kitchen to get the plate of fried eggs as Hugo had requested.

At the dining table, Hugo served Pearl a fried egg. “There you go. Here’s your reward.”

“Hugo, why are you talking to me like this?” Confused, Pearl accepted the fried egg, noticing a huge

change in Hugo’s attitude toward her.

Despite her recent infuriating actions, he hadn’t been angry with her. In the past, he would get. people

to teach her a lesson, but now he didn’t seem to mind how unreasonable she was.

How… baffling!

“What’s the matter? Don’t you like it this way?” Hugo elegantly ate his steak and smiled.

“No, I don’t like it. We’re not that close. Stop trying to get close to me.” Pearl rolled her eyes, avoiding

Hugo’s gaze. She focused on eating her fried egg, all the while using her fork and spoon with a bit

more force, creating a bit of noise.

“So, what? We’re getting engaged soon. Isn’t it normal for an engaged couple to talk like this?

Hugo didn’t give up teasing her.

‘How disgusting!‘ Pearl complained inwardly.

But she had to force a smile. “Alright, let’s drop that topic. Finish your meal quickly so you can go pick

up my mother,”

Hugo raised an eyebrow. “You’re using me?”

“Isn’t it a deal? Why would you say that?” Pearl had finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth with a

tissue elegantly, and smiled. “Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.”

She then proceeded to tidy up the table, gathering the cutlery and plates before taking them back to the

kitchen.

It was rare for Pearl to do that. Watching her busy herself in the kitchen stirred a peculiar feeling in

Hugo.
