Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1195

Since then, Finnegan and Esther have yet to stay in touch.

Back at the present, Esther glanced at his profile, suddenly embarrassed. "I'm sorry about that. It was truly an accident that I hit you in the face."

Finnegan smiled, not a trace of anger in his voice. "I know. I didn't blame you, did I?"

Esther muttered to herself silently. He said he didn't blame her but practically rolled his eyes to the heavens back then.

The atmosphere lightened after their conversation, and they sat at the reserved table. Finnegan glanced at the menu and ordered without asking Esther. To her surprise, almost all the food Finnegan ordered were her favorites.

Feeling touched, Esther said, "I never thought you'd remember my favorites."

Finnegan gave her a cool glance. "Not really. Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

When the food arrived, Esther, feeling internally peeved, focused on eating.

Noticing her mood, Finnegan smiled and ate his food without disturbing her. Once they were full, Finnegan looked at Esther and asked, "How are things between you and him?"
