Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1426

Hearing Esther reject his idea, Jasper felt a bit sad but then turned to Finnegan. "What do you think, Finn?"

Finnegan cleared his throat. "Uncle Jasper, I think we're moving too fast. Let's talk about it later."

Since neither of the younger ones seemed interested, Jasper looked down, disappointed. "Alright. Since you two haven't considered this, maybe spend some more time together. We can discuss this again later. Perhaps I was a bit hasty."

When Samantha came over with cups of tea, she noticed the tension in the room. They all sat quietly, not sure what to say, while Jasper tried to hold back tears.

"What happened? I was just getting some tea and everything turned awkward," Samantha said, trying to lighten the mood as she set down the cups.

"Nothing, Mom. When is Tyler coming back?" Esther quickly changed the topic to avoid any more awkwardness.

Right then, Tyler walked in.

"Oh, why is everyone here? This is…" He glanced around, then his eyes landed on Finnegan. "Oh, is this the guy from Esther's blind date?"

Their parents slapped his head. "He has a name. Finnegan Fox."

"Finnegan..." Tyler acknowledged, nodding. "I know. You've had a crush on Esther for a long time, haven't you?"

The parents were hesitant but saw him out.

Returning to the living room, they looked at Esther sitting on the couch and sighed, realizing their plan hadn't worked.

"Esther, you should really appreciate a guy like that!"

Esther had too much to drink and was feeling lightheaded, so when she heard that, she felt worse. "We're not even dating. Why do you want me to marry him so badly?"
