Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 267

"I'm old enough now, and in two years, it'll be legal for me to marry. Plus, you're exactly the man I want. Naturally, I won't let you slip away easily." Unfazed by Mobius' reaction, Esther's eyes narrowed into a sly smile.

"How... unreasonable!" After holding back for quite some time, Mobius found himself unusually tongue-tied and couldn't come up with a retort.

"Who's being unreasonable here, you or me?" Esther shot back at Mobius.

It was the first time Pearl had witnessed Mobius acting this way. Suppressing a smile, she waved her hand. "That's enough, Este. Don't tease Mobius too much. He's shy, and you might scare him away with more of your teasing."

Being exposed, Mobius turned beet red.

"By the way, I'm sure that incident will make tomorrow's headline. Do some public relations measures to avoid any accidents."

Disagreeing with this, Esther said, "No, I don't think we need to worry about any mishaps. Richard has taken care of everything, and Sophia's scandal won't matter even if it's reported tomorrow."

Esther's naivety and gullibility brought out a sigh from Pearl.

However, Pearl chose not to reveal what she had seen earlier since the others were unaware of Esther and Mobius's kiss. Instead, she offered a subtle piece of advice. "Just be careful. There's a reason why I said that."

Esther, naturally, heeded Pearl's advice.

After some brief conversation, Pearl bid Esther farewell as it was getting late. At that moment, Mobius noticed a familiar figure seated on the sofa behind him.

"Whatever."

During this exchange, Mobius's stubbornness prevented him from noticing the fleeting moment of sadness that passed across Esther's face.

"Alright, stop arguing. It's late. Go wash up and get some sleep," Esther interjected, turning coldly toward Mobius. "Who's in my house is none of your concern. Just go home."

Being driven away, Mobius was upset. After noticing that he had crossed a line, he left without saying another word.

Pearl forced a smile, feeling that Mobius was insincere and stubborn. Clearly, he had feelings for Esther but lacked the courage to admit them.
