Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 1022

The man who had initially approached Esther with different intentions now found himself sharing his own heartache with her.

A few minutes later…

"Listen, I've been through hell. The person I love went on a blind date with someone else. I don't understand what he sees in her. He even showed her to me…"

The man tapped Esther's shoulder, a serious expression on his face. "Men are scum. Don't fall for their tricks!"

Esther nodded, feeling a strange camaraderie with this stranger. "Great minds think alike. Let's drink!"

"We women need to stand up for ourselves. There are plenty of good men out there, sis. Don't waste your time on someone like that!" the man declared, and they both raised their glasses.

As the drinks flowed, they became increasingly intoxicated, even calling each other "sister" in their drunken state.

Their conversation eventually came to an end as Esther couldn't handle any more alcohol. She leaned over the table, feeling nauseous, and the man suddenly questioned his actions. What was he doing, confiding in a stranger?

Despite some internal struggle, he couldn't leave her like that. Before leaving, he even draped his coat over her shoulders.

Esther, with her petite frame, nearly disappeared under the man's coat. James almost missed her.
