Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 979

Pearl hesitated, knowing that telling Esther the truth would weigh heavily on her conscience.

However, before she could decide, Esther spoke up, "It's okay, I know everything."

Seeing Pearl's reaction, Esther lowered her gaze. "It's because of me, right? He knew I was sick and wasn't focused, so he crashed."

She wasn't stupid, so she pieced things together. But she couldn't accept it. Mobius died because of her, making her feel like his killer.

"So if I weren't sick, Mobius wouldn't die, right?"

Pearl was a little angry. "That's not how it works. He died in an accident, and it's not your fault."

"But if I weren't sick, it wouldn't have affected his emotions. Mobius was a skilled driver. How could he just crash?" Esther was convinced it was her fault.

"We don't know the whole story yet, so don't blame yourself. If you insist, then I'm also to blame for telling him about you."

Esther didn't expect Pearl to take any blame. "No, that's not what I meant."

"I know you're grieving, but please try to eat something," James urged, reaching for the bowl of soup to feed her. But Esther pushed his hand away.

Suddenly, Esther felt a surge of anger and swept everything off the table, including the hot soup which spilled onto James's hand. "I said I don't feel like eating. Are you deaf?"

He looked at her without saying a word, then wiped himself clean.

"James…" Esther realized her mistake, and her voice trembled with regret. "I think we should break up," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
