Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1163

Pearl sighed inwardly at the sight of Finnegan's simple clothes. Despite his plain look, his elegant nature shone through.

However, she didn't forget why she was there."Ugh... Where's Esther?"

Finnegan looked back the way he came. "At my house. Let's go."

Then, he added, "This village has some rough folks, but you're alone and dressed like that. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

Pearl and Richard looked down at their clothes. Finnegan had a point. Their attire could attract thieves if they weren't careful.

But they had no time to waste. They hurried to Finnegan's house before more people came out.

At the house, they found Esther asleep. It made sense; she had been stressed all night.

Finnegan poured water for them and sat down nearby. "Are you guys here to rescue her?"

Richard nodded. "Yeah, she's our friend."

"She's been safe here. No one has hurt her," Finnegan assured them.

Pearl felt grateful to hear this.

"But..." Finnegan seemed hesitant. "Could you guys stay for a while and help us out?"

He was implying a bigger problem.

Pearl agreed without hesitation. "You've been kind to Esther. We'll do what we can to help."

Finnegan looked worried. "It might be tough, and we don't have all the details. It could get dangerous."
