Chapter 496
Yanny: Hey, the one on top. Did you change your name after drinking a few too many? How many glasses did you have?
[‘I Vowed to Marry Esther’ was banned from posting for three days due to swearing.]
Well, there was no need to change the name anymore. Things were quite mysterious online. In reality, everyone was more than surprised.
Pearl turned to look at Mobius in shock. Even Richard raised an eyebrow, not entirely composed.
Esther had the strongest reaction. She widened her eyes, looking incredulous. “Mobius… d-did you post this?”
Mobius looked somewhat disdainful. “I didn’t-‘
Disappointed, Esther let her eyes droop, and then Mobius continued, “I asked my dad to post
it.”
“So you want to marry me? Weren’t you dead set against being with me before?”
Mobius looked at her, blinking with a curious and content expression. He could only let out a slight cough in response. After all, the inconsistency between his words and actions was quite embarrassing:
“I did it because I was afraid that you might be unable to escape this trap. This is the most effective and fastest solution…” This had been on his mind for a long time. However, he would never say this out loud. If Esther found out, she would probably boast about it endlessly.
Esther wasn’t entirely satisfied with his response, but at least she realized Mobius cared about
her. She felt much better.
“Mobius, I know you were too shy to admit your feelings for me, but I’ll like you no matter what. You can rest assured that from today onwards, I’ll take on the role of your fiancee— mmph!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mobius covered her mouth with his hand, preventing her from saying anything audacious.
“Mobius! Let go! I can’t breathe!”
Pearl and Richard exchanged smiles. They had an unspoken agreement. “Alright, you two, stop fooling around. Let’s go back to Enswood. If we stay here any longer, who knows how many more troubles we’ll face.
Pearl had a strong sense of foresight. After going through so much, she felt that Hazelton wasn’t a place to stay for long, so she proposed to go back.
They had been in this place for quite a while now. Even Esther, who usually enjoyed having fun, readily agreed to it. The rest had no objections either. They all took the Waldorfs’ private jet and flew back to Enswood.
Except for Eric, who mentioned he had some matters to attend to in Hazelton. He said he would return on the day of Richard and Pearl’s engagement.
After returning to Enswood, Esther and Hanzel went back to the company. With new projects coming one after another, they had no chance to take a break.
Mobius returned to school, and there had been a racing competition recently that kept him busy.
Pearl moved to a place closer to Waldorf Enterprises, claiming it was for a shorter commute. In fact, it was to fulfill Richard’s desire to see her more often.
But Pearl didn’t mind. It was Richard’s property, after all. He could do as he pleased as long as he paid the utility bills.
The weather was lovely, and Pearl decided to visit Esther.
Publishing the news online wasn’t enough. Most importantly, Esther and Mobius had to hold the engagement party as soon as possible.
