Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 826

Richard sensed Pearl had something on her mind. But it was clear she didn't want to linger, so when he noticed Mobius lingering, he frowned.

"Come home with me, Mobius," Richard said, walking over to his brother.

Mobius nodded, then shook his head, looking sad and defeated. "I want to see her again, please?"

Feeling sorry for him, Pearl agreed. She also worried about Esther being drunk at James's place. She picked up her phone and dialed James's number, knowing Esther might not answer.

James picked up after two rings.

"Are you with Esther?"

Surprised by the call, James nodded. "Yes, she threw up all over herself so I brought her to my place to clean up."

Pearl's mind raced at the thought. "Did you give her a shower?"

James chuckled, and Mobius, who was standing next to Pearl, looked up with red-rimmed eyes.

"No, I didn't."

Richard just nodded and got back into the car. Mobius nodded at Pearl and followed suit.

In the car, Mobius sat in the passenger's seat, gazing out into the night. "How did things turn out this way, Rick?"

Richard kept his eyes on the road. "You did this to yourself."

Mobius suddenly chuckled, reminiscing about their first meeting: Esther chasing after him, relentlessly trying to get close. At first, he wasn't interested, but she brought warmth to his life like the sun, and he fell for her.

Despite his temper, he truly loved Esther. He started to learn about love because of her. However, after two years, she left him because of his actions, and there was nothing he could do to change that.
