Wearing pajamas, she walked out of the room with her sleepy eyes. She walked to the phone and yawned unconsciously. Then she stopped when she saw the blurry figure.
Hester blinked her eyes in disbelief, knowing that it was not a dream. The man she had been worrying about finally came back home. However, the joyful mood did not last for a second, and it was instantly cold.
The moment he entered the room, Terence cautiously held Melody in his arms, fixing his eyes on her, without noticing the Hester at the corner. He then turned to Lisa and told her what she should do next.
"Prepare a room for Melody, she is living here temporarily now!"
Lisa looked at Hester, whose body was stiff, then she semi-close her eyes. She was just a housekeeper and had no right to guide her master. Although she sympathized with Hester, it wouldn't change anything.
"Yes, Mr. Terence!"
Glancing at Hester, Melody's eyes flashed at the sudden change of her attitude. With her head nestled in Terence's arms, she raised her hand to rub her temple.
"Terence, I feel dizzy."
Upon hearing her words, Terence's sight turned to her immediately and frowned.
"I'll take you to your room and have a rest first!"
He passed through Hester and did not notice her. After that, Terence held Melody upstairs and put her on the bed. He tucked her in and pulled up the curtain.
She held his hands tightly and looked into his eyes with a bit of begging. She bit her lips and looked flustered.
"Can you stay here with me?"
Upon hearing this, Terence's face turned pale, but his guilt soon engulfed him. He nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You haven't recovered yet. Have a rest first!"
Hester looked at the direction of the stairs, stunned. The reason why she couldn't contact with Terence was that because they were together?
Or is it because he don't want her to bother them? ' Then why did he bring her back and live here now?
Hester thought a lot but none of them could make her feel better.
Lisa entered Hester with a glass of water. She gave the glass to her and nodded slightly.
"Miss Hester, as soon as Mr. Ter
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
t the documents on his laps aside. He had kept the same posture for a long time, with the back of his neck a little stiff. Rubbing his temples, Terence felt a little better.
Facing Melody, he felt he became very strange. He wasn't a gentle man, but he couldn't help spoiling her.
"I will ask Lisa to prepare some food for you, then bring it to you later," Terence replied.
Melody curled up her lips and felt disappointed. She sighed and frowned.
"Okay!"
Putting his hand on the doorknob, Terence turned around to look at Melody. His eyes darkened.
"The murder is being investigated. It's tricky, but I'll give you an explanation as soon as possible!"
Melody tightened her hands in the quilt. 'Was Terence trying to stay away from me?' She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
'It was a pity that! I won't let you get what you want easily. What should I
do?'
When he walked out of the door, he noticed that Hester was looking at him with complex feelings. After a short pause, he went downstairs slowly. She looked tired since they hadn't seen each other for a few days.
"Didn't I tell you to take good care of yourself? How did you make yourself like this? "
Hester held her hand into a fist nervously and stood at the side. What happened today had become a fast knot in her heart. She didn't understand. It was two of them who went on a business trip. How could it be two of them coming back?
