Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1220

Sean casually lied since Jasmine had passed away. No one could prove it since there was no evidence.

But then, Chester became doubtful. "So, do you have any proof?"

Jasmine was always very careful, and that's why Chester was cautious too.

"Look at our faces. Don't you think we look alike?"

It made sense when Sean said that. Before, people couldn't guess that Sean wasn't really a Waldorf by blood because he looked a lot like Richard. This similarity gave Sean a chance to trick Chester.

Chester studied Sean's face and saw the resemblance. "But this man also looks like me. Couldn't he be my dad?"

Sean thought quickly. "He's my brother. He looks like me, so he looks like you too. And he's married. How could he be your dad?"

Chester, being straightforward, remembered Richard and Pearl were married and accepted the explanation without further question. "Alright, I guess you are my dad."

Sean smiled. "Good boy,"

Chester was now starting to feel a mix of care and worry toward Sean.

Sean then crouched down to be at eye level with Chester and waved him over.

Chester, initially hiding behind Richard, felt reassured and slowly approached Sean, eventually hugging him.

"What's your name?" Sean asked softly.

"I'm Chester Hollander."

"And what should you call me now?"

"Dad," Chester answered shyly and hid in Sean's hug.

Then, Chester seemed upset about something.

Sean quickly noticed and asked, "What's wrong, Chet?"

"But Mom was killed. I don't know who did it."

Sean gently patted his back. "Don't worry. I'll help you find who did it."

"Really? You'd do that?" Chester trusted Sean a lot, and even though they had just met, he felt a strong

connection with him.

"Yeah, listen. Miss Pea, the woman behind you, is very skilled. She'll help us find who killed your mom."

Chester turned to Pearl, hopeful. "Really? Miss Pea, can you do that?"

Pearl nodded. "Yes, I'll help you find them and make them pay."

"That's amazing. Thank you!"

It was a happy ending, but both Pearl and Richard weren't as thrilled as they looked on. Pearl looked worried, wondering what Sean was getting himself into.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

But Sean just held Chester closer and reassured Pearl with a look, showing he was okay with the situation.

"Thank you for looking after my son," Sean spoke smoothly, making it sound perfectly normal. "I'll take him to get registered as mine."
