My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 149

Connor felt a lump in his throat as he asked, “Pearl you… don’t like your photos to be taken”

“Didn’t all girls like to take photos? Connor wondered.

He remembered seeing his female classmates in school taking photos with their phones all day. They were constantly switching their angles and postures to try to take photos of their best angles.

1 don’t like taking photos, Pearl stated.

Pearl looked at the young man’s stunned and confused expression and added, “It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s more that I’m afraid of trouble”

“Oh,” Connor muttered softly. After thinking for a while, he decided to be honest with Pearl. He took out his phone and asked, “Then can I keep this photo of you and me?”

Pearl was slightly stunned. She went over to take a look and saw that it was indeed a photo of her.

The colors in the photo were very bright. She was wearing a white shirt and a pale yellow skirt. A handsome boy in a white jersey was standing beside her. He was beaming widely.

Pearl had not noticed it whenever they stood face to face. However, when they stood side by side in the photo, Connor seemed much taller than

her

They looked adorable together despite the height difference.

“Why is it just you and me!” Pearl asked.”

Pearl sighed in her heart. However, she realized something was amiss with this p

team? Where are the others in the photo!”

Connor pursed his lips and said seriously. “The camera’s focal length wasn’t adjusted properly. They were all blurry, so I cropped them out.”

Pearl was speechless.

She looked up at him and asked, “ts that so?”

Connor nodded seriously. His expression was as sincere as it could be.

Pearl wanted to laugh in her heart.

If everyone else in the photo was blurry, why were the two of them not?

Nobody would buy into his claims,

nonsense with a straight face.

It was a lie that could be exposed easily. However, Connor could get away with it with his innocent look.

“Keep it if you want,” Pearl said in a rare show of generosity as she waved her hand.

Seeing Connor’s eyes light up, she quickly added, “However, if you see any other classmates keeping it, try your best to get them to delete it. Don’t spread it.”

“Pearl, don’t worry. I have the negatives. They won’t have a chance!” Connor assured hurriedly but quickly realized he had sold himself out.

He couldn’t help but blush as he added, “Anyway, you don’t have to worry. I’ll settle in

Pearl

smiled and replied, “I’m not worried.”

Ever since she was young. Pearl had never taken any photos. Even if she did, she could not keep them. Those that could be deleted were all deleted by Hubert

Pearl and Hubert’s hacking skills were personally taught by her mother.

Back then, before they learned how to take photos, they were already learning how to delete photos. After so many years of strict supervision by Huber, her photos and biodata remained unavailable on the Internel

The rain gradually stopped, and the sky turned dark

Waves after waves of customers left the restaurant after having their fill. The waiters cleaned premises.

The chefs in the kitchen also took off their uniforms and supported their waists to rate their sore spines.

“Everyone has worked hard today. Go back and rest early. I’ve sent everyone in the group a Venmo. All of you will receive one later, Pearl said

When Pearl finished speaking, everyone’s eyes immediately lit up, and they ignored their fatigue, They took out their phones at lightning speed and checked their Venmo accounts for new notifications

Notification bells sounded through the restaurant and everyone cheered excitedly.

There was nothing like money to comfort a tired body.

“Long live the boss! We love you forever!” everyone chanted in high spirits.

Pearl smiled and accepted everyone’s love and flattery. Then, she looked at Connor and asked, “Why did you return m share. Go ahead and accept my gift.”

Connor smiled gently and replied, Tm saving you some money.

As soon as he said this, everyone exploded

“Look at this child. He’s so sensible. All of you should learn from him. All of you are greedy for money. Take a good look at Connor. It’s not without reason that he’s so well–liked“”

Everyone cheered. Pearl also felt warm and fuzzy in her heart, although she did not appreciate

te Connor’s gesture.

“I have a lot of money. Don’t worry about saving it for me!” Pearl insisted as she pulled a long face and pretended to be angry. “No, you accept my Venmo. Otherwise, you are disrespectful, and I won’t let you out of the door today.”

Everyone chimed in, “Grab the Venmo! Grab the Venmo!”

Connor did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was accepting Venmo part of his job scope!

Darren also smiled and urged his disciple, “Hurry up. Everyone is waiting for you.”

Connor had no choice but to accept it respectfully. He took out his phone and clicked a few buttons on his phone.

Everyone started to jeer again, “Now that you’ve accepted Pearl’s Venmo, you need to redistribute your love to all of ust Send us Venmol Send us

Venmo

This scene was not new. Connor was often asked to send everyone on the basketball team Venmos.

He smiled gently and agreed good–naturedly, “Alright, I’ll send it”

Before sending it, he glanced at Pearl and commented, “Pearl, get ready.”

“Me tool” Pearl asked slightly stunned.

Connor p

put on the same face as she did just now and replied, “Of course.

“Alright, I’ll accept it. Get ready for me,” Pearl said as she raised her hand and pointed at everyone.

Everyone prepared themselves and stared at their phone screen. Those who did not know better would think they were participating in an online battle. Everyone was on their toes

When the Venmo notification appeared on the screen, everyone’s hands moved across their phones swiftly like arrows. They accepted the Vermo excitedly.

After Connor sent the Venmos, 1

Connor had tried to send a 200–dollar Venmo to Pearl.

However, due to technical errors. Pearl had only received 1 cent in her Venmo account.

She fronc

Connor was also stunned. Then, he could not help but laugh.

Pearl elbowed Connor in exasperation. Why are you laughing? What’s so funny?” she snapped.

The brat actually dared to mock me. Did he believe that she would not punish him?” she thought.

The lucky ones who received the high–value Venmo were in high spirits. Pearl stared at the Venmo she received and sighed faintly.

Just as Darren was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something

“Pearl, isn’t your birthday coming soon! Those ila you plan to celebate your birthday this year? Do you want to hold a birthday party? Shall we hold it here as usual?” Danen asked

in the past, Pearl’s birthday was almost always celebrated in Food Delight Diner. However, he had not thrown her a birthday party for the last three years. Since she had returned to Natiston this year, he insisted on celebrating it for her at the restaurant.

Connor raised his eyebrows. “Pearl, when is your birthday?”

“It’s on the 10th of June. Pearl replied to Comer and turned to Darren. “I didn’t plan to celebrate it at first. My brothers disagreed and insisted on throwing me a birthday party. Let’s do something simple. I’ll make a guest list for you later. In the meantime, help me prepare the ingredients. I’ll whip up a table of dishes myself. When the time comes, you can help me.”

“Alright, no problem, Darren agreed.

Connor hurriedly said. “I want to attend it too! I can help you out!”

Darren glared at him. “You can’t have everything you wann. Pearl’s birthday party attend, keep to yourself, and don’t cause trouble.”

Comor muttered softly. “But I’m not an outsider…

“Don’t you dare talk back Darren wanted to teach his little disciple a lesson but was stopped by Pearl. “Alright, alright. It’s not a big deal. There’s no need to flare your temper.

Pearl looked at Connor’s eager gaze and said, “Attend it then. Darren has been busy recently. Let him rest. You can help me instead.”

Connor nodded happily and replied, “Okay!”

“Pearl…” Darren stammered as he looked hesitantly at Pearl. Pearl waved h

her hand and replied, “It’s okay, Connor is one of us.”

Upon hearing this, Connor smiled happily. The corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably.

After a busy day. Pearl was physically and mentally exhausted as she sat in the car.

Just then, her phone rang. She opened it casually and saw another Venmo from Connor. He left a message everything

Pearl could not help but chuckle as she muttered, “This child…
