Chapter 426 Self-humiliation

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Austin, who was packing up in the guest room, heard the noise and rushed out in a hurry. He pulled Hester's hand up and down to check if she was hurt.

Hester stood still, in a trance. Taking a deep breath, she looked away from Austin and took a step back to keep a distance between the two.

She crossed her arms and her face turned pale.

"Brother Austin, I'm a little tired. I want to go to bed first."

Austin raised his eyebrows and looked at Hester with a complicated look. He withdrew his hand in the air dejectedly. He knew clearly the resistance and fear in her eyes.

But it was also because he knew her well that he felt more and more heartbroken. He could only look at her from afar. It felt like he couldn't help at all, which was so terrible.

"Okay! Tell me if you need any help. I am in the guest room. Have a good rest."

"Good night, Brother Austin!"

Looking at Austin, Hester felt very guilty. But now she was so upset that she had no time to care about his mood.

It was not a coincidence that the glass of water fell down just now. She would never forget the pain in her heart when she was with Terence. 'Was it him? Did something happen to him?'

Distracted, Hester returned to the guest room. She was walking back and forth with one hand on her waist. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

She turned around, unlocked the phone and dialed the number she had memorized. Her fingers froze at the last step, but she couldn't click it.

They hadn't contacted with each other for a long time. It was detestable to call him rashly. And how could she speak out? Was it just because of the pain in her heart?

Her body was faster than her tangled brain. When she lowered her eyes again, the phone had already been hung up.

Melody frowned tightly. No one would be happy for being disturbed, especially she was the unruly and wayward girl.

She fumbled in the direction of the voice and felt a

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.

was shocked by her bright smile. He narrowed his eyes to hide his doubts perfectly. He went downstairs and sat down elegantly.

With a knife and fork in his slender fingers, he ate in a gentle manner. All good education could be seen from his meal. The elegance from his bones was irreplaceable to others.

"I was too excited last night. I'm sorry!"

Holding the poached egg in her hand, Melody looked up at his calm face, took a deep breath and said softly.

Terence put the knife and fork aside and wiped the corners of his mouth. He slowly looked at Melody, who was uneasy.

"You don't have to say sorry! Because these words are more suitable for me to say rather than for you!"

Biting her lips, Melody looked at Terence bitterly. She had been remorseful for countless times. If she had known that things would become so embarrassing, she would have controlled her emotions no matter what she said last night.

But when she recalled it, she really didn't have any image at all. Terence had always been indifferent, and it was difficult to see any abnormality on his face.

He had always been good at gauging people's mind. He was like a blind man, blindly moving forward, leaving her without any goal.
