Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 935

James cut her off, "After breaking up, is it really okay to stay friends? And why would Esther want to say goodbye over dinner with you? The Waldorfs have nothing to do with her."

His words were harsh, yet nobody could argue against them.

Mobius looked down, realizing he had stepped over a line, and chose to remain silent. However, Esther felt bad for him.

"Why not have dinner together? It's just one meal," she suggested.

James could tell Esther was sympathetic. "Fine, but I'm joining too," he said. He wasn't about to let them have time alone, fearing they might rekindle their feelings. His years of waiting would have been wasted.

"Is that okay?" Esther looked at Mobius, seeking his consent, knowing this was James's final compromise.

Mobius, feeling a sharp pang of heartache at the sight of Esther pleading on behalf of another man, regretted his invitation. "Of course. He's your friend, so I don't see why not," he said, emphasizing 'friend'.

James caught the jab but let it slide. He took Esther's hand and led her inside, leaving Mobius to watch them go.

Pearl sensed Mobius's pain and patted his shoulder. "You need to let go and move on."

"I did let go, Pea, but I don't know why I'm still sad," Mobius admitted, his eyes reflecting his pain.

"It's okay to feel the pain. It's part of moving on. Be proud you loved someone as kind as her. She still wants to be friends, even after everything," Pearl encouraged him.

"I've just been really busy," Esther explained.

"Then make sure to visit more often. I've missed you," Susan said.

It was hard to tell if Susant meant it, but seeing the regret in her eyes, Esther felt ashamed.

"I will," Esther promised, feeling guilty.

Susan then turned her attention to James.
