Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1205

"Hey, you didn't reach out to her, but that doesn't mean you're not into her. You can tell me the truth."

Blake's expression changed drastically. Finally, he let out a big sigh, feeling relieved. "Alright, I admit. I really do want to see her."

He felt that Rosalie might be slightly interested in him. Besides, he was skilled and had a job. So, Rosalie couldn't say he was just lazing around without any decent work.

After they landed, Richard was at the airport to pick Pearl up.

Seeing Blake tagging along behind Pearl, looking all awkward and hard to read, he asked, "What's he doing here?"

"He's here chasing after a girl." Pearl joked and noticed Blake's face turning gloomy.

"What do you mean?"

"Okay, I won't spill your secrets." Pearl shrugged and walked forward. "Just ignore him. He has something to do."

Richard thought it made sense and followed her.

Blake, left trailing behind, was lost in thought. After a bit, he snapped out of it. "How could you guys leave me behind?"

James looked really down while he was investigating the case. Esther knew he wouldn't cheer up until he solved it, so she understood and accepted it.

Esther couldn't understand why he suddenly became so cold when he used to be so kind to her. It didn't make sense.

Feeling hurt, Esther couldn't believe James would change like this when he had loved her deeply. "Is it just because you're busy?"

James nodded. "What's the matter? What else do you want?"

Esther felt like crying. He sounded like he was trying to push her away. "Summer told me the law office hasn't been that busy. You're avoiding me, aren't you? Why? Did I do something wrong?"

She added, "You've been acting strange ever since you started working on that case. At first, I tried to understand. But now, you're just ignoring me. James, don't you love me anymore?"

"Yeah, you're right. I don't like you anymore."

Shocked at his indifferent reply, Esther looked up, meeting his cold gaze.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
