Became A Queen After divorce

In her groggy sleep, Pearl felt her breathing was not smooth, and there seemed to be a mosquito buzzing around her ear.

“Ugh, go away!”

She slapped away the annoying “mosquito” and turned over to sleep soundly again.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Sam, who had been mistaken for a mosquito and slapped, was not angry. Instead, he chuckled warmly.

“Daring to hit me, you’ve got some nerve.”

The familiar voice finally reached her ears, and the next second, the previously sleeping young woman sat up.

Her big, bright eyes looked at the face close to hers with delight, finding him handsome no matter how she looked.

“Sam, you’re back!”

Really?

Was she dreaming?

To verify if it was a dream, Pearl secretly pinched her thigh.

“Ouch, it hurts! It must be real! Sam, you’re finally back. I missed you so much. Seeing you return safely puts my mind at ease.”

Pearl was never one to be subtle. Growing up in Metshire, she was always straightforward and passionate about her feelings.

Miss him?

Sam had never experienced being missed by someone; it felt so warm.

It was like having a small sun hidden in his heart, warming him up.

Maybe it was because the moonlight tonight was too beautiful;

Maybe it was because the girl in his arms was as sweet as a delicious cake, making him want to taste her lips to see if they were just as sweet.

He couldn’t resist and lowered his head to kiss Pearl’s lips.

Despite his gentle and elegant appearance, Sam was a beast at heart. When he kissed her, he bit and nibbled.

Soon, the girl’s lips were red and swollen. Her clear and lively eyes made Sam find her extremely cute.

He smiled lightly and pinched her chubby cheeks with his distinct fingers.

“Feels good.”

He concluded and then pinched the other cheek.

Pearl mumbled something, slapped away his “claws,” and said in a coquettish voice:

“Ouch, my face hurts from your pinching. Where did you go, Sam?”

“Would you believe me if I said I went to kill someone?”

His tone was so gentle, yet his words were shocking.

Pearl’s lips twitched, and she shook her head.

“I don’t believe you.”

“Just kidding, I didn’t go kill anyone. Our dad had a task for me to complete, and I just got back tonight.”

As soon as he got out of the car, he didn’t even go to Red Maple Villa but came straight to Gilliam Mansion.

Sam’s casual “our dad” made Pearl blush and glare at him playfully:

“What do you mean ‘our dad’? He’s my dad!”

“Aren’t we getting married soon?”

Thinking about their upcoming wedding filled with blessings from everyone, Pearl couldn’t help but feel excited.

“Yes.”

That was an acknowledgment.

The little girl in his arms looked so obedient. Sam’s gaze at her was no longer cold and distant but full of warmth and affection.

When he looked at her now, his smile was no longer fake or forced. Pearl could tell that Sam’s smile this time was genuine.

The moonlight shone brightly, illuminating the couple in the room.

Sam sat on the bed while Pearl sat wrapped in a blanket. Their eyes met, filled with deep affection for each other.

After a while, the girl yawned sleepily but tried hard to stay awake.

Sam then remembered that she was still pregnant and shouldn’t stay up late.

He glanced at his watch; it was almost 2 o’clock.

Feeling guilty, he patted her head one last time and stood up, saying:

“It’s late; I should go. You should sleep.”

Seeing the person she missed so much about to leave again, Pearl mustered up the courage to grab his sleeve.

In a pitiful voice, she said softly, “Can you stay? I’m… I’m afraid of the dark.”

Afraid of the dark?

Her excuse was too lame. How could someone as smart as Sam not see through it?

The girl wasn’t afraid of the dark; she just didn’t want him to leave.

To be honest, he didn’t want to leave her either because he couldn’t guarantee what would happen between them after tonight.

Forget it.

He decided to live in the moment.

Sam immediately pulled her out of the blanket and into his arms. His voice was as enchanting as a fox spirit’s:

“I’ll give you two choices: One, I’ll stay with you and sleep; two, you can ask for anything, and I’ll fulfill one wish for you.”

Hearing this, Pearl was wide awake.

Her eyes sparkled with joy as she asked excitedly: “Really? Any wish?”

Seeing her reaction made him smile.

“Yes.”

With Sam’s promise, Pearl tilted her head thoughtfully. Sleeping was out of the question since she had slept all day.

“I choose the second one!”

“Okay. Tell me your wish; I won’t go back on my word.”

If she wanted him to leave the Gilliam family and take her away…

Sam thought he might agree even if it would make him feel unwilling to give up.

Tonight he was too impulsive and had forgotten his original purpose for coming to Taswya.

Pearl finally voiced her biggest wish after much thought:

“I want to go to an amusement park!”

Sam hadn’t expected such a simple request. He slowly came back to his senses.

“Huh? What?”

“You really want to go to an amusement park?”

Pearl nodded seriously, a hint of sadness on her cute face.

“Yes. I grew up alone. Watching other kids go to amusement parks with their parents made me so jealous.”

“I haven’t been there since growing up. What’s the point of going alone?”

After making this request, Pearl felt embarrassed and stuck out her tongue. She continued:

“Forget it; it’s too late now. The amusement park must be closed. I’ll choose the first option instead.”

Having him with her was enough; where they were or what they did didn’t matter!

But Sam couldn’t bear to see her disappointed. He immediately picked Pearl up in his arms and walked towards the wardrobe in the dark.

“Sam, what are you doing?”

Not understanding his actions, Pearl obediently lay in his arms, her big eyes full of curiosity but not fear.

This showed she trusted him.

Sam jokingly said he would sell her but actually picked out a collared jacket from the wardrobe and handed it to her.

“Put it on; I’m taking you to the amusement park!”

“If other kids have it, my girl must have it too!”
