My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 100

Pearl furrowed her forehead deeply and inquired, “What have I done to you?”

Marc remained silent, his brows slightly knitted, and the lines on his forehead seemed to convey the message. Indeed, now that you are awake. you’re denying

A peculiar discomfort settled upon Pearl beneath his gaze.

She pondered, “Could it be that she actually did something to him

“But he’s a rugged, imposing man with a background in special police work. What could she have possibly done?“

Pearl harbored serious doubts that he was fabricating this, distorting the truth and shifting blame onto her when he clearly had erred. Was he not courageous enough to confront the consequences like a true mant

Their gazes locked for about three seconds, and just as Pearl was about to confront Marc, he pushed aside the blanket covering him, revealing his entire body to her. Pearl was about to avert her eyes, but in the next instant, she froze.

She questioned, “Could 1 have done this?”

Pearl had seen Mare’s physique before

During the period when he was bedridden due to a high–level spinal cord injury, she had served as his caregiver and had bathed him on numerous occasions. She should have been more familiar with his physique than even his own mother.

Pearl glanced around the room.

Her movement did not escape Marc’s notice. His anger nearly reached boiling point. She had accused him in front of those men yesterday, alleging his involvement in her inebriated state. And now this.

What kind of perception did she hold of him in her heart!

Pearl’s emotions churned, Her phone rang and she instinctively reached for it, realizing her current state. She blushed and shifted the blanket slightly, revealing herself partially. It was a call from Huliert

On the other end of the line, Hubert urgently questioned, “Pearl, where were you last night? Did you really go to a hotel room with Marc Males! Quentin could not find you at Rose Garden and was searching for you everywhere. He is going after Marc Males!

Just as he finished speaking, the room’s door was being forcefully kicked, and Quentin was pounding on it. “Open the door! You, Mare Males, I know you are in there. Let Pearl gol If you don’t open the door. I’ll break in on

Just as Quentin prepared to force his way in, the door swing open, revealing Pearls frosty countenance. Upon seeing Quentin, she greetel “Quentin. It’s early morning. What’s all the comination about?”
