At noon, Pearce arrived at Blue Sea Muse Studio. Irving was outside smoking when he noticed Pearce
approaching. Raising an eyebrow, Irving blocked his path, asking, “Who are you? What do you want here?”
Pearce, not recognizing Irving, asked politely, “Is Elyse Lloyd here? I'm a friend and would like to see her.”
“Now?” Irving questioned, frowning with a cigarette between his lips. “She went to get ssnacks but should
be back soon. Try the intersection over there. You might catch her.”
Pearce followed Irving's direction, thanking him before setting off.
He searched but didn’t find her. Then he heard someone retching nearby.
Following the sound, he found Elyse by a trash can, vomiting.
Slowly approaching, he heard her muttering, “Why did Fiona wear that awful perftoday? | really can’t stand
ie.”
“Elyse? What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?” Pearce asked, concerned.

Startled, Elyse looked up and immediately remembered the previous day’s events.
“Why are you here?” she demanded. Wary of a repeat of yesterday, Elyse stepped back. She didn’t want another
hug with Pearce.
Despite his excitement at seeing her, Pearce restrained himself, not wanting to scare her.
“Just stay there. Don’t cany closer,” she said, stepping back further.

Pearce, feeling hurt, replied, “Why don’t you wantnear you? | don’t intend to harm you.”
“What do you want? | need to get back to my violin practice,” Elyse said.
Trying to stay calm, Pearce said, “Okay, just take it easy. | have something to show you.”
He pulled a document from his pocket and handed it to her.
Elyse read the paternity test results carefully. Looking up, in confusion, she asked, “What does this mean? Is this
true?”
Pearce nodded firmly and took a step closer, explaining, “When | first saw you, | had doubts about your identity.
You mentioned having parents, so | didn’t question further. It wasn’t until you revealed they weren't your
biological parents that | started to think you might be the person | was searching for.”
Seeing the confusion on Elyse’s face, Pearce continued excitedly, “I couldn't find any direct link to your biological
parents, so | had to prove it another way. Do you remember when | plucked a hair out of your head?”
Elyse nodded, recalling the incident and resenting him for it.
“You are my cousin!” Pearce exclaimed. “I've been looking for you. You're part of my family!”
Elyse stood motionless, unable to process the shock.
Pearce’s eyes turned red as he pressed on, “Your father is my uncle. He ran away from hand we lost contact
with him. You are his only child, the daughter of my uncle Rickey!”

After a long silence, Elyse finally asked, “Rickey? Is he Rickey Owen?”
Pearce asked, “How do you know his middle name? Actually, his full nis Ricky Owen Benson. The Benson
family is prominent in Cambape. You are a part of us.”
Elyse was speechless. She had always seen Pearce as a friend, but now he was claiming to be her cousin, and
she suddenly had numerous relatives. It was overwhelming.
Understanding her shock, Pearce gave her a moment to absorb the news.
Then he remembered something crucial and approached her again. “You need to cback withto meet
your family members,” he urged.
Elyse instinctively pulled away, saying in a daze, “I can’t go with you.”
Pearce was baffled. “Why? The Lloyds are awful. Do you still miss them?”
“It's not about them,” Elyse replied, her voice soft but resolute. She wanted to stay because of her unborn baby.
