Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 1272

Esther felt like she was chasing after him too eagerly. She dashed out without even saying goodbye to Agnes.

The commotion upstairs didn't go unnoticed by those downstairs. Agnes was concerned but couldn't convince Esther to stay. As for Luther, he couldn't help but smirk seeing Esther hurry off.

"Luther, isn't Esther your friend? Shouldn't you go check on her?" Agnes knew her son well. She was sure Esther was upset after hearing James's remarks, and she feared Esther might do something rash.

Luther relaxed on the couch, appearing unfazed. "It's okay, ma'am. She'll get over it."

Agnes nodded, though still worried, then remembered something. "Now that Esther has left, do you have any other reason to be here?"

Luther anticipated this question. "Yes, ma'am. I didn't just come here because of Esther."

Agnes was intrigued. "What else do you need here?"

"Do you remember a woman named Rosie Perez from twenty-five years ago?"

The name brought back a flood of memories, and Agnes turned pale. "You know Rosie?"

"I more than know her. She's my mother!"

"What?"

Initially, she ran, fearing for her own safety. But her actions caused Rosie to die there.

The year Rosie died.

"Rosie, I've told you time and again to stay away from my husband." Raised to be proper, Agnes maintained her composure, never raising her voice even when upset.

They faced each other in a deserted warehouse, eyes cold and unyielding.
