Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 822

After dinner, Pearl gave them time to be alone and prepared to hand Esther over to James. She trusted him not to do anything untoward to Esther, so that's how the tipsy Esther ended up in his car, just like the last time she got drunk.

As soon as she settled into the car, Esther drifted off to sleep. James observed her restless movements and sighed. Carefully, he fastened her seatbelt, being careful not to wake her up.

When he sat up straight, Esther's seductive and dazed eyes fluttered open, leaving him stunned.

"James…" she murmured.

Surprised yet happy that she recognized him in her intoxicated state, James responded, "Yes?"

Esther reached out and playfully tousled his hair. "I've always wanted to touch your hair. Finally got the chance, hehe."

James was at a loss for words. After gently pushing her hand away, he settled back into his seat.

As he started the engine, Esther suddenly announced that she needed to use the restroom.

"I'm driving now!" Reluctantly, James pulled over to find a public restroom. "Should I bring you over?"

Esther blinked and flashed a cheeky smile. "I lied. Didn't need to go."

James didn't know what to say. If that was the case, there was no point talking to this drunk silly girl. He glanced at her grin and knew there was no way he wouldn't fall for her, but he had one concern.
