NovelOnlineNot interested in each other...
Esther looked at James from head to toe and couldn't hold in her laughter. "She didn't think you were good enough..." "You're right. Sabrina's lover is abroad and has yet to return. She went on a date without her parents knowing. We both decided to sabotage this to show our parents we can't be together." Esther never imagined this turn of events.
"My parents are looking into my relationship, and they'll eventually find out about you. I've been keeping my distance from you intentionally to protect you. I couldn't tell you because I needed it to seem genuine. If you knew, it might've messed things up." James truly had her best interests at heart.
Esther suddenly felt guilty when she realized that, but her pride prevented her from admitting fault. "Fine. But aren't you worried things might go wrong now that you've told me?" James was both irritated and amused. "If I didn't tell you, I might lose my future wife." Hiding this from Esther was his biggest mistake. If he had foreseen this, he would've told her from the start to prevent her from overthinking.
"Um... I guess I was a bit stupid, but did you have to rub it in?" Esther scratched her face, embarrassed.
"Can you tellwhy you were crying so sadly at Mobius's funeral now? You were even caught on camera." James couldn't shake off that image.
"I... Okay, I'll admit it. I suddenly missed you, and that's why I was so upset. It wasn't planned. You were so cold to me, and when I saw Pearl, I couldn't hold back the tears..." James couldn't blher when he saw how genuinely sorrowful she looked. He was at fault for not disclosing the truth to her. "Okay, I forgive you." Esther rolled her eyes. "What do you mean you forgive me? If you'd told me, none of this would've happened." She felt blindsided by how quickly his feelings hado changed. "Who wanted a breakup in the first place, huh?" James couldn't forget what she said during her recovery. Admittedly, what he did was a risky move, but she was the one who started it. His glance was enough to make Esther feel guilty. "I..." She ran out of excuses and simply hung her head. "Okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it again." "Are you going to break up withagain?" Esther shook her head. "I won't just break up with you again." James wasn't happy with that reply. "Just?" "No, I will never break up with you again," Esther vowed, having learned her lesson and determined not to cross that line again. James finally smiled and gently patted her head. "Do you know another mistake you made?" "What?" Esther had no idea.
