Chapter 147
Mare’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he could not help but feel a little loss for words.
“Was it Pearl’s birthday soon?” he thought
Seeing that her son was visibly stunned, Phoenix’s expression immediately became displeased. Her eyebrows curled up as she reprimanded him sterly. You can’t even remember Pearl’s birthday. Is this your sincerity in wooing someone! Are you serious?“
Marc pursed his lips tightly.
Phoenis continued, “You men keep professing your love, but you’re just deceiving yourself. Love is not expressed with words Otherwise, you won’t be able to win back her hear even after 800 years.”

your actions.
Marc lowered his gaze and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I understand. I’ll prepare a birthday gift.”
“Tve got it ready for you” Phoenix replied.
Phoenix had come prepared. She signaled Harper, who was behind her, to hand over a tulip box
Marc stepped forward and took it. When he opened the tulip box, he frowned slightly because of the dazzling light inside. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
It was in the
There was a brooch in the box. It was in the shape of a daisy, but at the center of the flower was a gold and emerald precious stone that emitted a dazzling light.
Mare’s pupils constricted as he raised his head and asked. “Mother, isn’t this your precious treasure, the cat’s eye brooch!”
Cat’s eye precious stones were rare and precious gems. They were comparable to high–quality emeralds and rubles.
Back then. Phoenix had coincidentally bid high on the cat’s eye precious stone. She had always kept it in her room and was unwilling to wear it unless it was an important occasion,
Now that Phoenix had given in to her son, she did not feel that it was a pity.
“It’s a treasure that can be used at a critical moment. The cat’s eye precious stone has always been a symbol of good luck. I hope it can bring you good luck. I wish you success in getting your wife back” Phoenix told her son.
After passing the gifts and blessings, as well as lecturing Mare, Phoenix was pushed away by Harper.
Marc looked at his mother’s back as she left. Then, he looked down at the brooch in the tulip box and had a mixed bag of feelings.
Phoenix was showing Marc what a mother’s love was.
Unknowingly Brooke was standing beside Marc. He said earnestly. “Brat, the entire family is working hard for you to woo your wife back. You have to work hard yourself. Don’t disappoint us
Lucas was still unable to avoid the tragic fate of being lambasted.
It was still raining. The cold raindrops were pattering on Lucas’s face. He wiped the rain off his face and sighed. It seemed that Pearl was unwilling to be his surrogate mother,
In that case, he could only leverage on his best buddy. After all, he had a litle more experience in wooing women than Mare.
“Marc, don’t blame me for being unkind. Your ex–wife is such an outstanding and charming individual, Lucas thought Pearl’s mood was ruined by Lucas’s extreme request.
She would have killed him herself if not for the fact that they were still working on the racecourse project.
She did not understand why all the men in the world were self–centered and self–righteous.
“Can’t they act a little more normal? There must be something wrong with my social circle.” Pearl thought.
-Mason knocked on the door and entered before announcing, “Ms. Woolery, it’s raining outside. Are you still heading to Food Delight Diner
Tonight
Pearl just remembered that she had promised Connor to go to the restaurant
Glaucing at the time. Pearl ordered calmly. “Go. Prepare the car
to try out his dishes
“Suar. Mason replied.
At Nanston, it was always humid during the monsoon season.
Halfway through the journey, the rain gradually became heavier. The raindrops outside were hitting the roof and making small crackling sounds whenever it landed. Even the constant honking sound seemed a little more muffled
The car slowed down when it reached Admiral Old Alley. Many pedestrians who did not have umbrellas ran for shelter. They struggled with pace on the slippery road, looking somewhat miserable.
Pearl had never liked rainy days. In the past, whenever it rained, she could not go out and play happily. She would be locked in her room by her mother and forced to practice the piano or read books out of boredom. Only the sound of the wind and rain accompanied her.
Now, no one was forcing her to learn this and that, but she suddenly missed those days
It was also a blessing to be controlled by someone
The car was ventilated, but Pearl still felt a little stuffy. She rolled down the window a little. Rain seeped in, and her face was wet. At the same time, she heard a loud baby cry.
Across the railing, a mother was holding her child. She might have tried to dash across the road but somehow fell to the ground. The child fell out of her anus and started crying.
The car horn blasted piercingly. The driver leaned out and cursed. “Do you know how to cross the road? Are you courting death?”
Pearl frowned slightly. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she saw a figure pass through the layers of cars. He agilely stepped over the railing and picked up the child who had fallen to the ground. He then handed the umbrella to the mother on the ground.
on a rainy day. You
He carried the child and helped the mother to the side of the street. He comforted her, “Miss, you must abide by the traffic rules on a have to take the zebra crossings. Otherwise, you will get into a traffic accident easily
The voice could not be heard clearly in the rain, but Pearl recognized it immediately.
The young man was wearing a white shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. He had a slender figure and had a straight posture like a pine tree. His body was already drenched, but there was still a bright and warm smile on his face.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on the little girl’s face. He coaxed her and took a toffee from his pocket like a magic trick
The little girl, who had been crying non–stop, immediately stopped crying. She reached out her chubby little hand to grab the candy, but he mischievously raised the candy higher.
“What do you say?” he teased.
The little girl’s hand was too short and could not catch the toffee. She pursed her lips and leaned over to kiss the young man’s cheek instead. Pearl’s eyelashes fluttered.
The young man’s face stiffened, and he immediately blushed in embarrassment. He raised his hand to wipe his face and hurriedly handed the toffee to the little girl.
Then, he ran away as if he was escaping the awkward situation
Looking at the fleeing figure, Pearl could not help but smile.
Her previously gloomy mood seemed to have improved because of what happened in the rain just now
“Connor, my child, you have the potential to be a comedian Pearl muttered.
The car finally arrived at the restaurant. When Pearl stepped in. Connor was drying his hair with a towel. His back was turned against her as he complained to Darren, “No wonder Pearl said that boys have to protect themselves whenever they are out on the streets. If a three–year old girl is so unreserved, how will the turn out when she’s older!”
Pearl could not help but chuckle, “sn’t it all because of that toffee of yours!
Connor a borly stiffened. He wildenly turned around and was met with a bright smile and a hint of mischief that could not be concealed under the
