"Thank you, Pearl."
"You're welcome. After all, I'm your sister-in-law. I'm just trying to help you get back on your feet,"Pearl replied, looking away for a moment. "How about this? Tomorrow, I'll get Richard to take you toDark Bar for a drink. Maybe you'll meet someone new."
"Ha! Pearl, stop joking. I'm not in the mood to meet anyone new. I just want to focus on myself."Mobius chuckled, brushing off the idea of dating.
Pearl was stunned. "What do you plan to do?"
Mobius perked up. "Have you forgotten my hobby?"
"Car racing?"
"Exactly. There's this international car racing event that invited me to compete. I hesitated beforebecause it requires training abroad for six months." Mobius gazed at the moon and sighed. "Now, Isuddenly feel like going. It's only half a year. If I can achieve something in the sport I love, thatwould be amazing."
Pearl felt emotional, realizing that Mobius had put off his dreams because he was with Esther. Nowthat Esther was no longer in his life, he didn't want to give up on his dreams too.
"I support you. I'm sure Esther would too," she said encouragingly.
Mobius smiled. "She always supported my racing. But I couldn't leave her, so I never accepted theinvitation."
But he knew he couldn't let his breakup keep him down. That would be too embarrassing, andEsther would look down on him.
"I'll sign up tomorrow. I'm off to bed early tonight. Good night, Pearl." Mobius handed back her scarf."You should keep it. If Rick sees me with it, he'll get the wrong idea."
"You're exaggerating," Pearl responded, but she took the scarf back anyway. Knowing Richard'stemper, it was better to avoid any misunderstandings.
After Mobius left, Pearl headed to the house. Suddenly, a shadowy figure moved from the bushes.Pearl sensed it and was immediately on guard.novelbin
The next moment, the black figure approached and hugged her.
Pearl breathed a sigh of relief when she smelled Richard's familiar scent. "Richard, why did youscare me so?"
"I saw you wrap a scarf around him," Richard said through clenched teeth.
Pearl's heart raced, realizing Richard had seen everything. "Were you spying on us?"
"When my wife is out here talking to another man, of course, I'm going to listen," Richard retorted.He wasn't upset at first, but seeing Pearl comforting Mobius and offering him her scarf made himuneasy.
"I was just giving him advice. Why are you making it sound so suspicious, as if there's somethingbetween us?" Pearl defended herself.
Richard pulled her closer, his gaze fixed on her lips before he bit them gently. "Yes, I'm jealous.What are you going to do about it?"
