Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1319

"What about me? You said mean things to make me react. Can't I do the same to you?" Esther wasn't a pushover.

After some time, she felt better. For some reason, it felt relaxing and delightful to her when he was powerless against her actions. She was happy to see that he couldn't handle her, even though he didn't like having her around.

She hummed a tune and grabbed an orange from the table nearby. She started to peel and eat it.

"Do you think this place is your home?"

Esther grinned. "Yeah, I treat it like my home. I even think of you as my very sick husband." Then, she held a slice of orange to his lips. "Want some?"

James felt a headache from his anger. He tried to soothe it by massaging his temples and said coldly, "I see what you're doing. Stop smiling. You better leave soon if there's nothing else. I won't be kind to you if you stay."

"Oh, I'm not leaving. Just call the cops." Then, she stood up. "I'm hungry. I'm going to get something to eat. I haven't eaten much these days because I was worried about you."

Esther muttered to herself, then she turned and asked, "What do you think I should eat?"

"It's none of my business."

When Esther heard that, she felt sad inside but acted like she was fine. "Okay, I saw a Meriam restaurant nearby earlier." She said this to test his reaction.

As expected, James opened his eyes and whispered, but Esther heard him.
