Silas smiled when he heard that. "It's because you're the one | fell for. You should know that I've never been interested inmarrying anyone until now. Now that I've found someone | want to spend my life with, they're delighted. They don't really careabout who my future wife is."
Pearl felt deflated and stopped trying to dissuade him. Suddenly, the scooter began to stutter and stop intermittently, making heruneasy.
Both Pearl and Silas frowned as they realized the problem.
"It seems like the scooter has run out of battery," Silas noted.
True to his words, the scooter came to a steady halt on the roadside, refusing to budge any further.It was midnight, and the two of them were stranded by the side of the road.
"You're quite something. You didn't even charge the scooter fully when you planned to pick up a lady after work," Pearl scoldedwith a mix of anger and laughter.
“If | hadn't been thinking about you all these days, | would've noticed," Silas retorted with a reasonable excuse, soundingrighteous.
Pearl decided to stop arguing with him and took out her phone to call for a taxi. However, they were stranded in a remote area,with no other vehicles in sight for several kilometers.
"Silas Quinton! If | can't get home and sleep tonight, I'll fire you!" None of this would have happened if he hadn't insisted onpicking her up after work.
Silas gloomily turned around and tried to shift the blame. "How is it my fault? The scooter ran out of battery, and | did want to getyou home."
Pearl continued to question him. "Is this scooter yours?"
"Yes."
"Did you pick me up from work?"
"Yes."
"Then, how could you make excuses?"novelbin
Silas conceded defeat since he couldn't argue with her, but he did so with a hint of stubbornness. "Pea, you're quite the debater."His childish behavior left Pearl feeling helpless. Suddenly, she came up with an idea. "Alright, I'll call for a tow truck."
Silas' gloomy expression instantly brightened. "You're smart, Pea."
"Stop flattering me. | wasn't planning on taking you home."

Pearl squinted her eyes to see better. It was a black car, and the license plate looked somewhat familiar.Her eyes widened when she saw the person stepping out of the car. It was Richard."Is your scooter out of battery?" Richard asked, his voice tinged with disdain as he glanced at the nearby scooter.
Pearl happened to catch his disdain. It felt as if he were mocking her choice in men, now that she had someone who rode ascooter after leaving him.
