Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 1401

Hanzel turned to look at Esther. Seeing that she didn't object, he said, "It was all because of James. After he heard about the accident in your lab, he felt so guilty that he refused to take the medicine. Eventually, he even broke up with Esther."

Hanzel paused, then continued, "After some time, he changed his mind and took the medicine. But soon after, he regretted what he did and tried to get back together with Esther."

Pearl felt sad when she remembered the incident. Yes, she had gone to the lab to make medicine, and it was James who would really benefit from it. It made sense that James felt guilty and didn't want to take the medicine.

But at that time, Esther was already dealing with the loss of her best friend. Then, her boyfriend tried to break up with her and refused the treatment. No wonder she changed so much.

Thinking about this, Pearl patted Esther on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Este. I'll help you get back at him."

Esther snorted. "I've been doing that for years. Don't worry. I won't let anyone treat me badly."

Pearl laughed. "Why don't you tell me how you punished him?"

Esther looked toward the stairs, glancing out of the corner of her eye.

"He's here, isn't he?" Pearl turned around.

Sure enough, James was hurrying over in a suit, looking worn from travel. Despite his rush, he still looked dignified and aloof.

"And James? Has he been putting up with this all this time?"

"Yes, he has. James wants to make it up to her, but she won't let him. But it's okay. Young couples often act like this. They didn't really break up."

Esther overheard and turned to glare at Hanzel angrily. "That's not true! We're not a young couple. I never agreed to be his girlfriend again."

James didn't even seem to react. He was used to her words by now. "Okay, Este, enough. My mom wants us to come over for dinner today."

Esther's expression darkened. "Are you using her to pressure me again?"
