Mysterious Mr.Richard

"Don't get me wrong, Pearl." Alexander retreated his hand and explained, "I know it's rude, but give me a chance, please. I really want to express my apology. And I have so many things to talk to you! Had you not studied abroad so suddenly, I'd have..."

"Sorry, Alexander. But I have nothing to say."

With a sullen face, Pearl interrupted Alexander. She then was about to leave, 

"You went abroad as you were pregnant, right?"

Alexander's words stopped Pearl's footsteps. She clenched her fists before turning and fixing her astonished eyes at him.

Alexander continued, "You are Dr. Wale's favourite student and you were going to get a doctorate degree. I felt quite strange when you suddenly went abroad. However, I understood everything when I saw your children today. It was because you were pregnant, wasn't it?"

Pearl tightly clenched her fists, but she didn't deny his statement. She then blurted, "It's none if your business."

Knowing both Bonny and Brandon' ages and with a little investigation, anyone could discover that she had went abroad due to her pregnancy. In fact, she hadn't meant to hide it from anyone since that time." 

"I guess they are not Alex's kids, right?" Alexander started taunting Pearl.

Pearl's face darkened and she uttered, "This has nothing to do with you as I have said. Now excuse me..."

"You don't know who their father are either, do you?"

Hearing this, Pearl stared at Alexander in surprise. Her intuition told her that something wasn't right. 

Alexander seemed to have thought deeply before he said finally, "I saw it that night."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The rainy night."
