Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 940

"I don't like that idea," she confessed.

"You have feelings for me then," James said, relieved. Knowing the girl liked him was all he needed to hear.

"I guess... maybe." Esther couldn't understand why she could talk so freely with Mobius but struggled now. It was strange.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend then?"

Esther was taken aback by the sudden question. Sitting in the car, it was still chilly outside, making her nose and eyes red. She felt like a bunny, inviting teasing.

"Do you have feelings for me then?" Esther finally blurted out. Although it was a pointless question, she couldn't think of a better rhetorical question. Anything she said would have felt awkward.

"If I don't, why would I ask you all these questions?"

Normally quick-witted, Esther felt slow today. "Oh, right..."

"So, what do you say?" James tried to sway her. Seeing there was hesitation in her eyes, he tried to tempt her. "If you're my girlfriend, I'll help you with anything you need."

Esther, not one for hassle or decisions, found this tempting. "Really? You'll help me with anything?"

"Absolutely. I keep my promises. It's up to you now," James said confidently, crossing his arms. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just got out of a relationship not too long ago. I don't think it's a good idea to jump into another one so soon." Although she moved on, it wasn't fair to either James or Mobius.

"It's been three months, not three days. You've given him enough time," James argued. "Also, didn't you have a chat with him? He looked like he moved on too, right?"

"It does seem that way." Esther thought it made sense.

"If that's the case, don't overthink this. Be with me."

No one had pursued Esther so directly before. She couldn't help but think of her previous efforts with Mobius.

"O-Okay..." Esther agreed, surprised by how quickly she became someone's girlfriend. "Why did you suddenly confess your feelings to me?"

James raised his brows. "I didn't confess my feelings. You did."

Esther realized he was right. James hadn't directly confessed his feelings.

"So… you're saying I started it?" She was cornered into this situation, but now it seemed like she was being portrayed as the one who made the first move.
