Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Terence stood up, straightened his sleeves, turned his head and said politely to Hester and Austin,

"Dinner is ready. Miss April and Mr. Austin, please follow me to my seat!"

After Terence sat down, Austin pulled out a chair and looked up at Hester gently. Obviously, he meant

it.

Hester's expression froze. She pulled Thomas to sit down and quietly looked at the table with her head

down, trying to minimize her sense of existence.

Just now, she felt that she had never left. There was no change in the decoration of this place. Even

the dishes on the table were basically the same as when she was there.

Hester frowned slightly. If she ate these every day, wouldn't it be easy for her to get tired of them?

"Do you like the food, Miss April?"

Lisa arranged the dishes for Hester with a smile.

Lisa was at home, so she knew her taste.

Hester smiled and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for the reception tonight. I'm very satisfied!"

"Auntie April, I am very happy to have dinner with you tonight!"

Thomas looked at Hester eagerly, not noticing anything unusual at the table. He was immersed in his

own emotions and could not extricate himself.

With a wry smile, Hester turned around and rubbed Thomas' head. Her muscles were twitching with a

smile. However, the other two didn't have any intention of speaking.

"Thomas, let's eat first!"

It took Hester a long time to utter these words. Because she didn't know what kind of words the two of

them could say to ease the atmosphere.

As Hester had said it, Thomas had to behave well. He had always been picky about food, but he

concealed it perfectly and buried himself in dealing with the food on the plate.

Every time he saw the food that he didn't like to eat, he frowned slightly and then forced himself to eat.

He was a good boy and couldn't let his mother know his picky eater.

The meal was very depressing. Hester lowered her head and had no appetite. The atmosphere in front

of her was not depressed or anything else, but she felt it was too weird.

After the dinner, Hester was so excited that she almost jumped up from the chair. She raised her hand

to tidy up her hair and nodded to conceal the expectation in her eyes.

"Mr. Terence, thank you for your hospitality tonight. It's getting late. Brother Austin and I will leave now."

Looking at Hester with his watery eyes, Thomas gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. He pursed his

lips but said nothing.

Hester sighed with a headache and bent down to look at him. She raised her hand and touched his

head, coaxing him.

"Thomas, I'll come to you when I'm free some other day."

"Really?"

Thomas's eyes lit up in an instant. He looked at Hester with expectation, his hand shaking slightly.

Scratching the tip of his nose, Hester had a sweet smile on her face. How insecure was this child that

he couldn't let go of her like this!

"Of course it's true. I always keep my word."

With Hester's guarantee, his low mood was relieved. After dispelling the previous gloom, he was full of

joy.

Sent by the father and son to the car, Hester sat in the car and waved at Thomas. As the scenery

outside the window continued to change, the smile that had not disappeared for the whole night

instantly disappeared.

"Ah! I'm so tired!"

She rubbed her cheeks with both hands. It was so bitter. Could there be a criminal law called the

punishment of laughter among the ten great torture in ancient times?

Austin glanced at Hester, and the corners of his determined lips softened slightly, revealing his first

smile tonight.

"If you don't correct your soft heart, I'm afraid you will be more unable to bear it in the future."

Hester raised her eyebrows and looked at Austin's side face in confusion. Did he mean to show his

dislike on the side?

But on second thought, her weakness of being softhearted had indeed become a major problem. She

sighed bitterly, lowered her eyes and played with her fingers, reflecting on herself silently.

Not hearing her response for a long time, Austin looked at Hester. A trace of helplessness flashed

across his clear face. He just said it casually. How could she really take it seriously?

"Thomas is very cute!"

Hester frowned inexplicably. She didn't understand why he would mention Thomas. He had been

discussing her soft heart a moment ago. Why did Thomas suddenly get involved?

"Hester, what are you thinking about?"

Austin turned the steering wheel and stopped by the road. He turned around and looked at Hester with

burning eyes. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. He had thought that he knew her well before,

but now it seemed that something had changed.

"What?"

Hester raised her head and looked at Austin in confusion. She was just reflecting on her own

weakness. There was nothing special about it!

"Huh!"

With a bitter smile, Austin thought he had gone too far. At that time, it was he who did something wrong

and selfish to separate them. Now they just had a meal together. It was boring for him to haggle over

every ounce.

"Don't think too much. I'm a little tired tonight and I'm not in a good mood!"

Hester nodded obediently and looked down at the intertwined fingers. Her mood was complicated.

She knew what Brother Austin cared about, but she could only play dumb. Or, other than this, there

was no better way.

Brother Austin had become very strange since he came back. As long as Terence was involved, he

would always get angry inexplicably, but eventually return to peace.

Austin calmed down for a while and started the car again. The two of them fell into silence. They went

home silently and got out of the cars respectively.

"Hester, you're back."

A low and hoarse voice sounded. With a dispirited look on his face, Jackson approached her. His eyes

were bloodshot and looked at her joyfully with tiredness.

He hadn't seen her for just three days. How could he miss her so much?

"Why are you here?"

Austin's face was gloomy and his tone was unfriendly. If it weren't for this person, Hester wouldn't have

been kidnapped for no reason. Melody was already a headache. Now her previous enemy came to visit

her. It was really a windfall!

Ignoring Austin's cold words, Jackson looked at Hester eagerly. His dangling Heart for the past three

days was quietly relieved.

Fortunately, she was fine!

"Hester, I'm relieved to see you like this!"

Subconsciously nodding, Hester looked at his haggard face and slightly raised her eyebrows. She

walked slowly to him and met his charming eyes with a faint smile.

"I'm fine! It's not your fault!"
