Mysterious Mr.Richard

Chapter 40 He Was The Only One Who Would Not Let It Go.

The air in the office was gloomy.

Richard's cold eyes were like an abyss. Pearl's words made him swallow his pain.

He was calm as he faced the woman whom was once the most important to him.

He kept quiet, so Pearl thought he was guilty.

She hugged Bonny tightly in her arms and tried to make her tone sound calm. "I'm telling you for the

last time, the kids have noyhing to do with you. Don't bother them again. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

"Call the police?" A hint of mockery flashed in Richard's calm eyes. He smiled instead of being angry.

"I think a huge company like Zellweger Group wouldn't want any troubles because of their

president's private behavior, right?"

Even seven years ago, Pearl was not nasty when she broke up with Richard and left Kityall City. She

was always bright, positive and never mad.

She buried thier love in her memories and left everything behind.

Maybe she was cruel and had forgotten everything.

He was the only one who would not let it go.

If Alex were not here, Richard would have strangled her and forced her to think of the past and ask her

why.

"Mommy, It's me. I brought Bonny here."

Pearl looked stiff and lowered her head in shock. Brandon was tugging her shirt and looking up at her

carefully.

"What?"

"Bonny badgered that she wanted to meet Uncle Richard. I had no choice but to bring her

here. Uncle Richard was too busy, so we stayed here the whole afternoon, and she even fell asleep."

Brandon explained everything clearly.

Pearl went numb.

She didn't think about anything. Only because Richard had doubts about the kids, when GPS showed

they were in the Zellweger Groupsaw, she subconsciously thought that Richard took them away.

This was what she had been scared the most for these years.

She knew that it was impossible for her and Richard, and she was afraid that someone would find

out the kids' identities. She was worried that Richard would take them away from her.

Her fear haunted her.

"Police still?" Richard's cold voice echoed in the office. He stood between the sofa and the table, and

his tall figure cast a shadow on the carpet under the irradiation of the chandelier.

Pearl's face turned pale. "I'm sorry. I thought..."

"Am I the one making a fool of myself?" Richard did not wait for her to finish. He glanced at Alex behind

her and sneered, "You don't have the time to care for your kids, but you have time to hang out with a

man, huh? Are you even a mother?"

"Richard, how could you say that?, We..." Alex tried to explain.

"I don't care about you and her." Richard shot a cold stare at Alex and added, "I have no interests."

Alex was choked.

Pearl was annoyed. She wanted to apologize, but she couldn't say anything when she saw Richard's

cold face. For a long time, she squeezed out, "I'm really sorry."

"If you don't leave now, I'll call the police." Richard was indifferent.

Pearl looked shamefaced. She muttered her apology again before leaving.

At the moment she stepped out of the office, Bonny wokr up in Pearl's arms. Resting her chin on

Pearl's shoulder, she rubbed her eyes and spotted Richard in the office. She called out, "Daddy."

Her voice was very light, like mosquitoes. Then the door shut, and she disappeared.

With a loud clang, all the dishes on the table crashed on the floor.

Mia came in and saw the mess on the carpet.

Richard sat on the sofa with a gloomy face. The knife cut his hand, and blood dropped onto the carpet.

However, his face was stiff and solemn.

Mia was worried, and she suggested carefluly, "Mr. Zellweger, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Yes, I need to go to the hospital."

"I'll ask the driver to get ready."

"Not now." Richard clenched his fists. After a long time, he relaxed his hands to reveal a few strands of

hair on his palm. "I need to get a DNA test."

Mia was stunned for a while. "Yes, sir."

...

At night, Kityall City is more noisy than during the day.

Alex dropped Pearl and the kids at their apartment. He stopped and got out of the car to open the door

for Pearl.

"Let me do it."

"It's okay. I can carry her." Pearl held Bonny in her arms and rejected Alex's kind offer. She said

apologetically, "I'm sorry for bothering you for such a long time."

Then she glanced Brandon next to her and added, "Brandon, say thank you to Uncle Alex."

"Thank you." Brandon nodded and said obediently,

"You're welcome," Alex replied with a warm smile, "Pearl, please don't treat me as a stranger. It's

getting late, just go home. Call me if you need anything."

"Well, drive slowly when you go back and let me know when you get home." Pearl tried to smile at

him, but she failed. She thought a lot on her way back, it was all about how she misunderstood

Richard.

She went into the apartment with the kids Before Alex got in the car. Her body showed that she was

depressed.

The white car finally drove off until the lights on her floor turned on.

In the car, Alex called someone.

"Mr. Simon, it's me, Alex." Mr. Simon was the Director at his hospital.

...

"The report of academic exchange will be sent to you later. I want to say something else."

...

"I want to transfer to Jackson Hospital." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

...

"It's partly out of my job, but it's more of a personal issue. I have a very good friend who was around

there, and I'm worried because she's on her own."

...

"Thank you so much, Mr. Simon."

After the two kids slept, Pearl went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer. She sat down on the sofa

and drank more than half of the bottle. Only then did she feel better.

She was overthinking. Richard was suah a proud man, but sheshattered him again and again. Seven

years ago, and even today.

If she could go back in time, she would definitely stop herself from breaking into his office. She would

slap her face and calm down.

Or she could go back to seven years ago and choose a better way to break up with him.

Back in time?

She mocked herself suddenly at her childish thoughts. How could she travel back?

If she could really turn back time, what she most wanted to go back was the rainy night. If there was no

rainy night, or if she stayed at home and didn't go out, then everything would not happen later.

She would not have broken up with Richard, and she would be sure that who was the twins' father.

She would not have to be frightened. She would not have nightmares for seven years. She would not

have to worry that the twins' identity differed from what she had in mind over the years.
