Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 912

"Could it be that she stopped loving you because you've let her down?" Pearl gently prodded.

Mobius had indeed disappointed Esther because of the previous misunderstanding. Trying to hide the hurt in his eyes, he kept his gaze lowered.

"All you're thinking about is how she doesn't like you anymore. But aren't you forgetting who let down whom first in your relationship?"

"I didn't let her down. I never actually betrayed her," Mobius insisted, still trying to defend his actions.

Pearl sighed. "I might not know every little thing about you two, but I do know that being too close to another woman while you were with Esther can hurt her deeply. Maybe those photos were fake, but you kept in touch with that woman. You thought it wouldn't harm your relationship and gave her the chance to cause trouble between you two. Can't you see the mistake you made?"

Mobius felt the weight of his guilt grow heavier. "I know I messed up, but I was too scared to admit it. I thought if I did, it would give her a reason to leave me for good."

In essence, Mobius feared confronting the issue.

Pearl, feeling helpless, sat next to him. "What's done is done, Mobius. You can't change the past. It's better to move on rather than dwell on what you had with her."

She knew Esther had been moving on, slowly healing from the pain of their relationship's end, with James playing a significant role in her recovery.

"Is she happy with that guy?" Mobius asked, referring to James.
