But Claude thought Pearl had a point.
Speaking of Sabrina, Pearl couldn't help but ask further, "So, have you made up with Sabrina?" Claude rubbed his temples, feeling defeated. "You've really taken on the role of a sister, huh?" "Of course. Aren't you my little brother?" Pearl raised an eyebrow, a curious look in her eyes. "Anyway, how are things between you two? Is she still giving you the cold shoulder?" Claude's face showed a hint of annoyance. "Yeah, she's got someone else on her mind now. How could she be with me?" He wondered how long she would like that man. Right now, she was all about making sure that James stayed single, which annoyed Claude.
"You mean James?" Pearl blurted out the name, slightly surprising Claude.

Not long after leaving, she unexpectedly saw a little boy who looked familiar around a corner. Her eyes widened when she saw him, and she couldn't help but be surprised. This little boy looked exactly like Richard! How could there be someone in this world who looked so much like him? Curiosity pushed her forward. As soon as she got closer, the boy's mother cover.
"Hey buddy, what are you doing here? Mommy has been looking for you. Let's go home."
