Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 938

Esther met a special young man when she was around seventeen, during a challenging time in her life. He was like a ray of sunlight, unforgettable and always on her mind.

Under the moonlight, Mobius saw the sparkle in Esther's eyes and felt a surge of emotion, wondering if she had ever disliked him. But her smile reassured him, and he expressed his heartfelt sentiment, "Thank you. You'll always be the best girl I know." He thought of her as his girl.

Thinking their conversation was over, Esther stood up to leave. Mobius offered one last piece of advice, "I hope you shine even brighter after this."

"You too," Esther replied, feeling a sense of relief as she walked away.

Mobius added, "One more thing. If he ever bullies you, come back to me. I'll always welcome you back."

"He wouldn't dare," Esther responded confidently, her tone strong yet innocent.

"That would be great. I was just joking."

Back inside, Esther found James waiting for her. He noticed her and smiled. "Done chatting?"

"We said everything we wanted to," Esther assured him, choosing not to share details she knew James wouldn't want to hear.

"Let's go home then." James took her hand gently. As they were about to get into the car, he leaned closer to her.

Esther, realizing his intent, glared at him, but James remained unfazed.

"Go ahead, or we're not leaving."

"Why are you doing this, James?" Esther asked, her courage surprising even herself.

"I don't know what you're talking about." James, noticing her discomfort and blush, decided not to tease her further. "Alright, I'll let you off this time. Get in. I'll drive you home."

Esther didn't think he would let her get away so easily, so she just got into the car.
