My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 140

li was not until Pearl walked in front of him that Connor seemed to recognize the person in front of him.

“What, you don’t recognize me just because I dyed my hair?”

Pearl said softly. She was having dinner with her employees today. Unlike other social gatherings, she didn’t wear any makeup after taking a shower. Her hair scattered lazily on the side of her neck.

The lighting effect in Food Delight Diner was famous for being good. It was comparable to an internet celebrity’s live broadcast lamp. It had its own lighting effect, but not everyone looked good in the light.

Under the light, Pearl’s hair was as bright as a rose, and her skin was smooth and fair. Her lips were red, and her teeth were white. It made the other ladies with heavy makeup around her look like demons

Connor stared at Pearl with his big eyes. He looked a little silly, opened his mouth slightly, and said, “It’s too…”

“Hus” Pearl stopped him from addressing her title. Just call me by my name.”

Connor parsed his lips and corrected himself in time. “Pearl!”

His master had told him that the identity of the successor of Pearl Woolery and the Cooper family was a secret. It could not be known by outsiders, and he could not casually call Pearl Grand Master outside.

When he called her “Pearl, the young man finally came back to his senses. He scratched his head and bared his white teeth. He said embarrassedly, “I really didn’t recognize you just now. I thought you were some young lady

“That’s funny.”

A series of bell–like laughter came from the group of women. The female designer, who was over 30 years old, said, “Little guy, Ms. Woolery is only 25 years old this year. Of course, she’s just a young lady”

Then, she leaned over and asked, “How old are you? Don’t tell me you’re not even 18 yer?”

There was another burst of laughter.

Connor

face turned red from being teased by these women. He looked

at Pearl and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m already 20 years ol

old!”

“He’s only 20 years old. He’s so young. No wonder he looks so handsome.”

As the women spoke, they were about to poke Connor’s face with their red nails when Pearl stepped forward and slapped them away. “He’s the chef tonight. Your dishes are in his hands. You have to show enough respect to the chel

When everyone heard this, they stopped. After all, no matter who they offended, they should not offend the chef. What if he poisoned the dishes

and spat

Pearl pulled Connor’s hand and went to the kitchen. “Let’s go. I’ll see what you’re cooking tonight.”

Connor looked at his wrist and felt dazed for a moment. It was as if a wave of heat spread from his lower abdomen to his face and burned all the way to his ears. His face was red with anger just now, but now he was really shy.

Pearl did not sense anything wrong. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she let go of his hand. She chatted with Darren, who was cooking, and confirmed the dishes for tonight

“Connor, what are you standing there for? It just so happens that Pearl is here. Why don’t you cook and let her take a look?”

Darren really expected bener from Connor. Connor was usually quite discerning. Why did he lose his intelligence the moment he met Pearl

“Oh, okay”

Only then did Connor come back to his senses. He took the spatula from Darren in a fluster and cooked the dishes. However, he almost threw the vegetables.

Connor was not himself.

Darren could not bear to watch anymore. He just wanted to kick him and scold him.

Pearl interceded at the right time. “Alright, stop selling. Connor must have been frightened by that group of women just now”

She then smiled at Connor and said, “There are many evil ladies outside. When you go out, you have to learn to protect yourself. Don’t be seduced by others casually, understand?”

Counor nodded obediently and answered firmly. “I know

What a good go

Per med grily and instructed him. Under such gentle guidance, Connor quickly found

nd his rhythm and skillfully did it.

Durres watched from the side. Initially, he was worried for Connor, but later on, he was a little jealous

Pearl taught Connor much more patiently than when she taught Darren back then. She said so gently and softly. Could it be that she was more land

of Connor!

The kitchen was lively, but it was even livelier outside.

Most of the female designers were single. When they went crazy, they were really crazy. They drank wine and beer. As they ate and drank, they put their arms around each other’s shoulders and sang

“In a world of dreams, we stand so tall, Where hopes and wishes, we’ll recall. With every step, we’ll find our way, Under the sun, come what may, We’ll dance through the night, reach for the stars so bright. In this melody of life, we’ll find our guiding light. Sing the song of love, like a soaring, free white dove. Together we will rise, in this song of our lives…

Pearl sat in the main seat, munching on melon seeds and quietly watching them play. She nodded along with their singing

After a while, a figure walked in. As soon as Lucas entered, he raised his eyes. “Wow, it’s so lively

The designer, Emma, perched on a chair, singing joyfully, abruptly swiveled around to behold a striking gentleman. Her heart skipped a beat, and In her slightly tipsy state filled with romantic tunes, she spotted Lucas and couldn’t restrain herself from exclaiming, “Don’t leaver”

Lucas’s

slips quirked in response,

The dramatic scene almost provoked laughter from everyone in the room.

Pearl could not help but smile.

Lucas walked around the table and went straight to Pearl. He even consciously asked the waiter to add a chair and a set of cutlery: “Why didn’t you call me for the celebration banquet!”

Pearl glanced at him leisurely. “Why should I call your

A look of grievance and accusation marred Lucas’s face as he spoke matter–of–facily. “Aren’t we good friends? Ive always considered you a friend. but it seems you only discuss matters of mutual benefit with me.

Pearl was well aware of this person’s thick–skinned nature. The more she engaged in conversation with him. the more animated he grew Pearl found herself increasingly disinterested and chose not to engage further.

Lucas, a true food enthusiast, wasted no time as he sealed into his seat, immediately diving into his meal. He plucked a prawn from the dish and savored it for a few bites. Between mouthfuls, he commented, “This doesn’t taste like your usual cooking or Mr. Cooper’s, but it’s surprisingly delightful. Have you brought in a new chef?”

“What a picky

man” Pearl glanced at him indifferently.

Lucas was the kind of person who seized every opportunity to “Absolutely

o engage in lively conversation. With an immediate and cheerful grin, he responded,

He picked up a piece of meat and frowned. “But the meat is a little burnt…”

Just cat

cat Why are you so

uso picky!”

Pearl couldn’t have been oblivious to the fact that the dish wasn’t up to par. In fact, she had already requested Connor to prepare it once more While she could certainly voice her concerns regarding the quality of her own work, she understood that it wasn’t her place to reprimand others.

Lucas pushed the meat aside in a gesture of displeasure. Just as he moved it away, a fresh plate of cooked meat was promptly set before him

He was stunned. He looked up and met a pair of cold
