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 rtionship?"


    "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 rtionship 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 rtionship''s end, with


    James ying a significant role in her recovery.


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


    "Would it upset you to know she''s very happy now?" Pearl inquired.


    "Yes, but I''d be happy for her too," Mobius replied, looking at the distant mountains, feeling a mix of


    sadness and contentment.

    "She''s not with James yet, but it''s clear he cares about her a lot. They''ll probably end up together."


    Mobius felt a pang of disappointment, his mood darkening further. "So, I really don''t have a chance


    anymore?"


    Pearl gently patted his shoulders. "It''s time to let go of the past, Mobius. You need to move on."


    Mobius shook his head sadly. "I don''t think I can ever fully let go."


    "Ah, by the way, Esther told me something. She asked me to pass it on to you." Pearl then shared


    the message from Esther, "We''re on different paths now. Let''s appreciate our time together but not


    cling to it forever."


    Hearing this, Mobius rxed. "So she''s saying to hold on to the good memories but not to live in the


    past?"


    Pearl smiled and nodded. "Exactly. She also hopes you''ll be okay and find someone truly right for


    you."


    As a cold breeze swept through, Mobius shivered, and Pearl wrapped a scarf around him,


    foreseeing his need. "It''s time to ept it," she said.


    Mobius nodded. Although he still looked gloomy, he seemed much better than when he first came


    here.
