    “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


    “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 rtions measures


    to avoid any idents.”


    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 gettingte. 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.”


    “Whatever.”


    During this exchange, Mobius’s stubbornness prevented him from noticing the fleeting moment of


    sadness that passed across Esther’s face.


    “Alright, stop arguing. It’ste. Go wash up and get some sleep,” Esther interjected, turning coldly


    toward Mobius. “Who’s in my house is none of your concern. Just go home.”


    Being driven away, Mobius was upset. After noticing that he had crossed a line, he left without saying

    another word.


    Pearl forced a smile, feeling that Mobius was insincere and stubborn. Clearly, he had feelings for


    Esther butcked the courage


    to admit them.
