Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 

1/1 

“I’m old enough now, and in two years, it’ll be legal for me to marry. Plus, you’re exactly the man I want. Naturally, I won’t let you sl*p away easily.” Unfazed by Mobius’ reaction, Esther’s eyes narrowed into a sly smile. 

“How unreasonable!” After holding back for quite some time, Mobius found himself unusually tongue-tied and couldn’t 

come up with a retort. 

“Who’s being unreasonable here, you or me?” Esther shot back at Mobius. 

It was the first time Pearl had witnessed Mobius acting this way. Suppressing a smile, she waved her hand. “That’s enough, Este. Don’t tease Mobius too much. He’s shy, and you might scare him away with more of your teasing.” 

Being exposed, Mobius turned beet red. 

“By the way, I’m sure that incident will make tomorrow’s headline. Do some public relations measures to avoid any accidents.” 

Disagreeing with this, Esther said, “No, I don’t think we need to worry about any mishaps. Richard has taken care of everything, and Sophia’s scandal won’t matter even if it’s reported tomorrow.” 

Esther’s naivety and gullibility brought out a sigh from Pearl. 

However, Pearl chose not to reveal what she had seen earlier since the others were unaware of Esther and Mobius’s k*ss. Instead, she offered a subtle piece of advice. “Just be careful. There’s a reason why I said that.” 

Esther, naturally, heeded Pearl’s advice. 

After some brief conversation, Pearl bid Esther farewell as it was getting late. At that moment, Mobius noticed a familiar figure seated on the sofa behind him. 

It was Christian, who appeared to have no intention of leaving as he watched TV. 

“Why isn’t he leaving?” Mobius was still uneasy even though he knew that Christian was Esther’s cousin 

Knowing that Mobius was talking about him, Christian looked up and smiled. “I live here. What’s it to you?” 

“What do you mean? It’s inappropriate for a man and woman to be alone together” Besides, Esther was wearing such revealing clothes Christian might see something he shouldn’t at night, and Mobius fretted at the possibility. 

“She’s my cousin, and it’s perfectly normal for us to be together. You’re overreacting. Don’t tell me you’re attracted to my cousin. Let me be clear, I don’t approve of this marriage. You better not harbor any wild thoughts.” 

Mobius snorted. “You don’t have to tell me that. I’ll never fall in love with her.” 

“That’s for the best, because she deserves someone exceptional, not just any ordinary man.”
