"Where's James?" He asked, placing the fruits he just bought on the table and looking around.
"I... chased him away," Esther admitted quietly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Why did you do that?" Richard was surprised. Everyone could see how much James loved her, so why would she do such a thing? "Because... I broke up with him." Richard was taken aback. "Why?" "I found out how Mobius died. It was because of me, so I can't be with James like nothing happened," Esther explained, hugging her head and looking pained.
"Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Richard didn't hold back. "First of all, Mobius's death wasn't your fault. He made his own choices, and it was his skills that led to the accident, not you. Secondly, Mobius did everything out of love for you, not expecting anything in return but for you to be happy. You're making him out to be a bad person." Esther hadn't realized Richard knew so much. "I didn't mean that. That's not what I meant. I never blamed him. I just..." "What I said still stands. If Mobius was still alive, he'd want you to be happy. He kept his distance from you because he wanted you to have a healthy relationship." Esther seemed to be moved by his words and nodded silently. "Yes, you're right. I shouldn't be so selfish." "James is innocent. Ending things with him over this will only make it harder for you to find happiness in the future," Richard advised, his tone firm but caring.
Richard's words were a stark reality. Though they were harsh, they were the truth.
Esther bowed her head, reflecting on her stupid actions.
Pearl tugged at Richard's sleeve. "Alright, she's unwell. Stop scaring her." Chapter 981 1 "Okay," Esther nodded. "I understand." Chapter 981 2 9562 Verify captcha to read the content 9562 Verify
