Lisa turned around and was frightened to see Terence standing at the door with a gloomy face. Lisa's face changed slightly, but she still stood calmly with a nod.
"Mr. Terence, you're back."
Terence nodded indifferently, his eyes passed Lisa and fell on Melody. His eyes were so deep that no one could see them clearly. For a moment, the air was quiet, and only his steady breath made people tremble with fear.
Being stared at by him like this, Melody felt her back numb, but she couldn't move at all, which made her very tired. She forced a smile.
"Terence, you are back. You don't look good. Do you feel uncomfortable? "
Terence looked at Melody with a hesitant look on her face, and Terence stood still. Terence closed his eyes and nodded. The short hair on his forehead covered his eyes.
"Melody, are you hiding something from me?"
A hint of panic flashed through Melody's eyes. She raised her hand to tuck her hair into a bun, and her eyes flashed back and forth, but she didn't dare to look at Terence standing at the door.
Melody was emotionally unstable now and couldn't control her emotions as usual. In case, the best way for her was to avoid Terence.
"I didn't hide anything from you. Don't think too much!"
"Really?"
Terence opened his thin lips and slowly uttered the word. Terence sneered and walked steadily forward with loud steps, which made people nervous.
"Melody, we have known each other for many years. Can't I ask the truth?"
Hearing his tone, Melody's face turned pale. Unconsciously, Melody clenched the sheet under her body and bit her teeth, not knowing how to answer it.
Did he check the wound on the child's body and make sure that she abused the child for a long time? Or did he feel that the method was too cruel and disappointed in her?
Melody's heart was beating fast. No matter what she had expected, she was frightened. Melody took a deep
elt depressed. Thomas was the child of him and Hester, but only Thomas' eyes inherited Hester's characteristics. Every time he met the eyes, he would involuntarily think of Hester.
"What's wrong?"
Thomas bent down and pinched Thomas' chubby face. With a smile on Terence's face, he looked less indifferent and warmer than before.
Thomas frowned tightly like an adult. He raised his head and looked at his father. His long and thick eyelashes trembled, as beautiful as two dancing butterflies.
"What was Dad thinking just now? Are you missing Auntie Melody? "
He didn't like Melody very much. Perhaps it was out of natural hostility. He was afraid that she would replace his mother's position and be forced to call her mother, which was unacceptable to him.
Although he was only three years old, he was somewhat confused and somewhat understood. He knew that he was different. Without his mother's love, it was the biggest regret in his childhood, but it was irreparable.
"I don't like Auntie Melody to be my mother. Dad, please don't let me call her mom, okay?"
Terence's heart sank and his body trembled uncontrollably. Terence took a deep breath and frowned when he looked into Thomas' eyes.
"Thomas, don't worry. No one can replace your mother."
