Chapter 934


    When Esther heard that voice, she felt a cold shiver. She hadn''t told anyone she was visiting the


    Waldorfs, especially not James.


    She knew mentioning the Waldorfs made James upset, so she hoped to make her visit quick. Yet,


    she still ran into him.


    "Why didn''t you pick up my calls?" James confronted her.


    Confused, Esther checked her phone and saw five missed calls and several messages. "Why are


    you calling me so much all of a sudden?" she asked.


    James, sounding annoyed, replied, "Shouldn''t I be asking you why you''re ignoring my calls?" His


    tone grew colder when he nced at Mobius. "You ignored my calls on purpose toe see him,


    didn''t you?"


    Esther was at a loss for words. "No, I didn''te for him. I came to see Pearl." She showed James

    James smirked, looking pleased with her decision.


    "It''s just a dinner. You''re leaving anyway, right? Even if we''re just friends now, there''s nothing wrong


    with having a meal together."


    James narrowed his eyes. "You know she''s leaving?" What was this man trying to do? Steal Esther


    from him?


    Esther also looked curiously at Mobius. She hadn''t told anyone about her ns except Pearl. How


    did he find out?


    Realizing his mistake, Mobius went silent, hoping Esther would ept.


    Though she wanted to refuse, seeing Mobius''s hopeful look made it hard for her. "Why don''t we—"
