Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1151

It was just like before—Mobius could date other women without any hesitation afterward. Esther always felt upset about this.

"But sooner or later, you have to deal with these things," Pearl said, gently patting Esther's head. "Feelings change. The best kind of love is like the love in a family, giving without expecting anything back."

Esther nodded quietly, feeling convinced.

"Okay, Pearl. Thanks for talking to me today." Esther felt like a big weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She was no longer that scared of getting married.

"I'm happy to hear that. Don't worry too much. Just let things happen. They'll improve with time."

They chatted by the lake for a while.

Suddenly, Esther's cheeks flushed.

"What's wrong?" Pearl noticed Esther seemed off.

"I'm fine. I just need to use the restroom…"

Pearl burst into laughter. "I thought it was something serious. There's a public restroom not far. I'll show you."

Esther shook her head. "No, it's okay. I can go by myself. I'll be quick."

Pearl was worried since it was getting dark, but she let Esther be since it seemed she'd just insist on going alone.

James scolded her, "You knew she acts without thinking. Why didn't you go with her? We're in the wild. She's not strong and doesn't know how to defend herself…"

Naturally, Richard defended Pearl. "She's an adult. Shouldn't she look after herself? And what about you, her fiance? Don't you have any responsibility in this?"

James was silent but started making calls to look for Esther. He hoped they'd find her close by since she hadn't been gone long.

Meanwhile, Pearl and Richard returned to the restroom to search for clues.

Then, Pearl spotted something on the floor. It was a cigarette butt.
