My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 144

Although Mr. Miller did not know Master Marlene, he provided many

y useful information.

For example, Master Marlene was not an elderly run, but a young woman who was not even in her thirties.

She had been keeping a low profile and was living like a hermit. She had only appeared once when she had just debuted. Although Mr. Miller wal present at the scene, he was too far away and only glanced at her from afar.

Based on his initial impression, the old curator revealed, “That little girl is young. She’s thin and small, but her hair is long. She’s a very spirited litle girl.”

y from so far away. How could you her aurat

Thomas immediately asked, “You couldn’t see her features clearly

Did the old curator have a supersonic vision?

The old curator glared at Thomas and hit him on the back of his head before he said, “Nonsense! One must be highly talented and skilled to create such impressive work at a young age. How could that person not be engulfed in spiritual energy then?”

Marc listened quietly. When the old curator mentioned “spiritual energy, he immediately thought of Pearl.

He looked afar stoically.

ips to Nanston recently! Why haven’t you brought

Mr. Miller looked at Marc. “Why are you asking about Master Marlene? Didn’t you make a few trips to your wife back?

This sentence pierced his heart, and Marc looked even more upset.

Thomas cast a glance at Mr. Miller and said, “Careful there, you’re

retouching a sore spot

Mr. Miller asked seriously. “Am I spouting nonsense? Pearl? Clarissa? Have I said anything wrong!”

Thomas was speechless. The old curator had completely killed the conversation.

Marc stood up and commented, “If there’s nothing else. I’ll leave first.”

Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Miller suddenly thought of something and shouted from behind, “By the way, if you’re interested in Master

Marlene, why don’t you go home and ask your grandfather? He should know more than me.

Marc suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He asked, “My grandfather knows Master Marlene?”

“I don’t think they know each other personally. However, antiques and gemstone carvings can be considered the same sector. Your grandfather was once very interested in gemstone carvings. As far as I know, he even bought two pieces of Master Marlene’s work at a high price”

At this point, Mr. Miller could not help but feel a little jealous as he continued, “Your grandfather is rich but especially stingy. He couldn’t even bear to send the gemstone carvings to the museum for me to admire. He kept it in his study all for himself.”

Pearl had a busy day at work. She signed a series of important documents and met many important guests.

However, there were always obnoxious customers who did not like to make appointments and insisted on walking into the company unannounced in a bid to receive special treatment.

Lucas was one of therm

Pearl looked at Lucas, who came uninvited. She told him off mercilessly, “Mr. Parker, if you want to see me next time, please make an appointment in advance. I’m not always this good–tempered. I have the right to chase your out any time!

Lamas was especially thick–skinned. He sanded and said, “I did plan to make an appointment, but alter checking the guests you’re meeting today, I realised that they’re not as important as me, so I came over directly.”

Prad frowned as she said, “With Mr. Loras’s louvy skill, F’n afraid you got that information by hacking through the assistant’s email.”

Lucav’s fare visibly darkened.

Hacking skills were once invincible, but they were interior compared to Pearl’s.

Lacas could completely frel Pearl’s disdain. Her eyes were staring him down with disgust.

“Also, my guests are important to jur. However, I have always disliked people who are too arrogant, and you are no exception,” Pearl commented.

He could not afford to be humiliated.

“Okay, it’s my faub. It won’t happen again” Lucas promised as he raised his hand and admitted defeat.

He leaned forward again and said pitifully. “Don’t be so fierce to me. You threw me into the pile of ladies yesterday. I was almost eaten alive by

Pearl was unmoved and said expressionlessly. “You’re nothing but a Casanova. You’ve dated thousands of ladies. If you can’t even deal with such a scene, how can you live up to your reputation?”

“Reputation is nothing but a deception. I’m very innocent,” Lucas insisted.

Lucas broke the character of a Casanova and insisted on a “pure” character for himself, even though the latter’s appearance was ve his. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Pearl did not know how Lucas had the cheek to feign ignorance. Pearl reminded him calmly, “Then you have to stand on your grounds. Don’t go Falling for other girls again”

“Thave nothing to be afraid of. Besides, didn’t your previous reputation of an obedient wife also tarnish?” Lucas retorted. It was as if he also wanted to drag Pearl down with him.

Pearl looked up and glanced at him gloomily before she said stoically, “Are you tired of living and in a hurry to die? I don’t mind sending you on your way.”

The last sentence was spoken in a matter–of–fact tone.

Lucas only felt a chill down his spine. He immediately dodged backward and distanced himself from Pearl.

He smiled awkwardly and said. I’m just trying to have a normal conversation with you. Why are you so defensive?”

Pearl could not be bothered to flare her temper at Lucas.

“What exactly do you want? If you have something to say, say it. If not, please get out” Pearl said harshly.

Lucas touched his nose and replied, “I’m here today because I need your help with something”

“Speak. Pearl responded

“Well… I’m not young anymore. My family is urging me to get married. Brooke has been in a hurry to have a grandson, so I thought, I thought… Lucas stammered. It was rare for Lucas to display any signs of embarrassment.

Pearl had no choice but to stop, look up at Lucas, and snap,

op, “What are you trying to say?”

Lucas coughed lightly and blushed before he said, “I don’t want to get married for the time being. I want to have a child first and fulfill Brooke’s wish.. Do you understand what I mean!”

“Not really” Pearl replied with a frown. “You don’t want to get married. You want to have children. Then what?”

Lucas stared at Pearl, and Pearl suddenly understood what he meant by his expression. She po achiki

“Will you do it for me!” Lucas asked. Lucas did not have that intention at first. However, when he heard Pearl’s question, he could not help but ask.

Pearl raised her hand and pointed outside. There was no emotion in her voice, but she was secretly gritting her teeth as she clarified, “Lucas, it’s daytime outside:

Lucas glanced outside and confirmed, “Yes, it’s indeed daytime.

“What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight thenf Pearl snapped.
