A touch of gloom flashed through Austin's eyes. He sighed and held her in his arms, smiling helplessly.
"You have found your family. Why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy?"
"Brother Austin!" Hearing Austin's words, Hester's tears were even more intense. She held his waist
tighter and tighter, and her head rubbed against his arm intimately with a trace of dependence.
She didn't know how to express her feelings. She just wanted to hold him tightly. It was a sense of
security for her.
"What's wrong?"
Austin asked, raising his eyebrows and looking at Leo and Derek not far away. Why did she cry all of a
sudden?
"Shouldn't today be your good day? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
"No!"
Hester said sulkily, gritting her teeth and lowering her eyes.
"Brother Austin, I'm sorry that I haven't contacted you these days!"
Austin narrowed his eyes and sighed. He patted her back gently and smiled. He had thought that she
had suffered some grievance before she came here to cry. He didn't expect that it was because of him.
The Liu family was a rich family. It was common for them to plot against each other. It was normal for
her to be bullied when she was a newcomer.
However, it was not easy for the Liu family to find her. How could she be bullied?
Thinking of this, Austin felt himself ridiculous. In the past few days, he had been worried and wondered
what she would encounter in the Liu family.
He had just fallen asleep and didn't expect her to run over by herself.
"Silly girl, it's not easy for you to find your family. It's normal for you to be happy. Anyway, I've been
busy with the surgery in the hospital. How can I have time to blame you?"
"So you are actually blaming me in your heart, aren't you?" Hester's heart trembled. Looking at Austin
with her watery big eyes.
Although Brother Austin was nice to her, he still had his own temper. He was just used to enduring that.
Austin was stunned when he saw his reflection in her eyes. She had been worrying for so many days,
just because she was afraid that he would blame her.
But how could he blame her? Since they knew each other, it seemed that he had been making
concessions without any principles between them!
Frowning slightly, Derek looked at the two of them and said coldly, "As Hester's fiance, I don't think it is
appropriate for Mr. Austin to hold her like this."
He had endured this matter for a long time, but the two still had no intention of letting it go. Hester was
his nominal fiancee. He didn't like cuckolds.
"Fiance?" Austin looked at Leo in confusion. It was just a dinner party where Hester was introduced.
Where did a fiance come from?
"Oh! Well, he just took office today. Don't mind!" Leo stepped forward with an awkward smile. But what
did he say?!
Hester's ears were ringing. She regretted promising the two of them to come with her! It was just an
excuse to say that he was afraid that she would be in danger!
Besides, didn't he feel a little guilty when he mess it up?
"Brother Austin, I can explain!"
"Hester, why do you call other man so affectionately in front of your fiance? What do you want to do?"
asked Derek gloomily.
How many men in the world could remain calm when it came to cheating?
Taking a deep breath, Hester carefully glanced at Austin's face, took a deep breath and clenched her
fists. "Brother Austin, let me solve the internal problems of them!"
With that, she took Leo's hand with one hand, and took Derek's hand with the other. They were a little
far away from Austin.
Letting go of Leo, Hester looked up at him with watery eyes. A weird smile appeared on her face, which
made his back numb.
"Cousin, you said you would protect me, didn't you?"
"What?" Leo took a step back. He hesitated for a while and nodded slowly. "Yes! But the point is that no
one is bullying you now!"
Although he was nervous, he had to hold his chest high in front of his own cousin!
Hester nodded, raised her hand and rubbed her cheek. She slowly walked up to him and looked at him,
tears falling.
"Cousin, Derek bullied me!"
The two men were stunned by Hester's sudden move. Leo was shocked by the fact that it was Derek,
while the latter was shocked by her tears.
"Leave it to me!"
After a long silence, Leo heard what he said and punched Derek mercilessly.
The eerie silence followed. Hester was stunned. She didn't expect her cousin, who was usually gentle,
to be so powerful today. And most importantly, why did he punch him in the face?
"Okay. Do you feel better?"
Derek wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with his slender fingers. He stared at Hester with his
sparkling eyes and said slowly, as if someone else being beaten.
Hester was stunned at his words. She didn't understand why he said that. He was the one who was
beaten, but why was she the one who felt guilty?
"If you are angry because of what happened just now, then are you a little relieved?"
Derek's dark eyes reflected the astonishment on Hester's face, and he smiled. His charming voice was
pushed out slowly.
"Derek, are you insane?"
On the other hand, Leo, who hit the man, raised his hand and touched the man's forehead.
But why did he make a special movement today? Was it really appropriate to make him so scared?
"In a sense, it's normal for me to be beaten because I broke up their marriage." Derek nodded slightly.
The blood at the corner of his mouth made his face more and more shocking.
He never liked to owe others anything. He always did things by himself and didn't follow the rules. He
knew this very well and never cared about it.
As long as he thought it was right, he had to solve it in his own way. Austin had chased after Hester for
such a long time, and Leo had seen it. Now that he was the first one to take it. Naturally, Leo would be
angry.
