Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 

“Alright, Mobius. You should go back to class now. I’ll stay here to take care of Dad,” Richard suggested, suddenly realizing that Mobius had skipped class to be there, and it didn’t sit well with him. 

“I want to stay and look after Dad, Rick. You’re busy with work, so you should head to the company,” Mobius insisted, despite his usual obedience to Richard. 

“Okay, stop arguing, you two. I’m jobless now, and I can take care of Dad here. You guys just go do your thing.” Hanzel’s words were the most persuasive, and Richard nodded and agreed to it after a little deliberation. 

Richard drove Mobius back to the university, and as they arrived, Mobius spotted a familiar figure at the entrance. 

Pearl also recognized the person and exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t that Esther?” 

Esther was walking hand in hand with a man toward the university’s entrance. The man seemed vaguely familiar to Mobius- he was a notorious troublemaker in the university, known for his good looks and the attention he received from girls. 

“Is Esther in love?” Pearl commented, although she quickly realized her mistake and fell silent. She knew that Esther had a crush on Mobius, and it seemed unlikely that she would move on so quickly, even if she could be somewhat fickle. 

“I don’t care about who she likes.” Unconcerned, Mobius averted his gaze but still secretly observed Esther out of the corner of his eye. 

Suddenly, the man reached out and pulled Esther into his arms. 

Mobius couldn’t bear it any longer. He marched forward and grabbed Esther’s hand. “How can you hug another guy on the street like this, Esther?” 

When Esther saw Mobius, her face lit up with surprise and delight. But she was taken aback by his intense questioning. “What hug? Oh, you mean him. He’s-” 

The man, noticing Mobius’ agitation, figured out the situation and smiled, embracing Esther’s shoulders. “I guess you’re the one Este talks about. You’re Mobius, right? You’re pretty famous in our university.” 

“Yeah, I’ve heard of you too. Not exactly known for being a nice guy,” Mobius replied bluntly, his irritation obvious as he watched the man’s hands on Esther. 

Glaring at Mobius, Esther demanded, “What are you talking about? Why do you say he’s not a nice guy?” 

“What’s the matter? Are you upset that I criticized your new boyfriend?” Mobius snorted. “Just a few days ago, you claimed to like me and wanted to be my girlfriend, and now you’re with someone else. You’re quite something.” 

Esther initially felt anxious and was about to cry, but she realized that Mobius might be jealous, which sparked newfound confidence. She wondered if Mobius’ behavior indicated that he had feelings for her. 

Jealousy… did that mean he liked her?
