Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 937

Not only was Mobius not sorry, he asked her why she had to bring the ice cream to her. His hands had gotten dirty, and it made him feel disgusted.

Esther felt her heart break, especially since she had chosen matcha flavor, knowing it was his favorite.

Mobius remembered the silent treatment Esther gave him for two days following the incident. At first, he thought she was just throwing a tantrum, but he soon realized she was genuinely angry, and it took him a while to make amends.

"I'm sorry for saying all that," Mobius eventually apologized.

Esther replied, "No need to apologize. We just see things differently."

"I know I've lost my chance with you." Mobius shrugged and gave a relaxed smile. "How's your relationship with him? Are you officially together now?"

When James was mentioned, Esther blushed.

"You're smiling so much. You weren't this shy around me," Mobius observed her blush, recalling how she had pursued him for two years, a pursuit he largely ignored until it was too late.

Now, he felt a sting of regret realizing another now cherished someone he took for granted.

"No, I'm not with him yet," Esther admitted.

"Did he not confess his feelings?" Mobius probed further.

Esther thought about it, then shook her head. "He didn't."

"Do you like him?"

Esther paused. "Why do you ask?" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"You didn't deny it, so I guess you do."

Esther was even more confused as to why Mobius decided that.

"I see that you're very comfortable with each other, and you're very happy." Mobius sighed. "That was something you didn't have when we were together."

He remembered their previous tension, with Esther always feeling on edge due to his temper. In contrast, she felt relaxed and true to herself around James, not afraid to be who she was.

"Really?"

"Yes. I've been with you for so long. Do you think I don't know you?" Mobius said, reflecting on their past. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and thought he had everything under control. He never really made her happy.

Esther suddenly looked serious and said, "No, you were great too."

She remembered how Mobius stood up for her when she was bullied, which made her see him in a heroic light at the time.

"Do you know that I was so touched when you showed up before me like a ray of hope? You were so brilliant, so how could you be bad?"
