There was a moment of boundless silence in the empty study. The atmosphere between the two people was vague and strange.
Austin's eyes twinkled and he nodded to look at the ground. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. There was a smile with self-mockery and bitterness on his face.
He was wondering why she had been acting abnormally these days. But when he thought that it might be because of Terence, he held back his anger.
"I've been wondering why you behaved a little strange these days. Is that the reason?"
Hester lowered her head, looking remorseful. Her hands clenched tightly, exuding sweat. The documents in her hands were a little sweaty, looking more and more shabby.
Austin had done so much for her, so she didn't want him to be so busy for her. It was also because she knew why he did all this that she felt more and more uneasy.
And it was precisely because she was not sure whether she could really forget that relationship and give him some response, which made her feel so guilty.
"I'm sorry, Brother Austin!"
A coward voice slowly came out of her mouth. Hester's eyes flickered, as if she wanted to escape from the embarrassing scene at once.
Looking at her head, Austin sighed again. He was extremely depressed in his chest, with a trace of pain spreading all over his body, making him at a loss and mixed with anger.
Three years had passed, but her wound hadn't healed, and this realization disappointed him even more. He also felt sorry for her. She was so stubborn that she had to suffer losses in the end.
"You don't have to say sorry to me. I did it voluntarily. It has nothing to do with you! Eat the food on the table first, or your stomach would ache again. I have something else to do, so I'll go out first."
Staring blankly at the disappearing figure of Austin, Hester stood there for a long time, unable to come to herself. There was a flash o
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.
still unable to avoid the tragedy. Hester held the milk and looked at him with an accusatory look. Her eyes were quietly stained with water, and her tongue was slightly stuck out.
Holding his forehead with one hand, Austin sighed helplessly. He stood up quickly and came back with a glass of ice water in his hand. He took the glass of milk from her hand and handed the ice water to her.
"Just pass the mouth, don't drink it! Ice water is not good for your stomach."
Hester did as he said, not daring to be distracted at all. Feeling that her numb tongue gradually regained consciousness, she restrained herself and sighed.
She swore that she would never be absent-minded again. She only needed to experience it once in her life.
"When can you get rid of your rashness? How can I let you go easily like this?"
Austin shook his head helplessly and said in a vague tone, with deep helplessness and concern. Even if he had never thought of leaving her, the day would come soon!
She couldn't let go of Terence, but he couldn't see the two of them happy. The only way was for him to leave alone, which was good for anyone!
"Brother Austin, why did you say that? Are you tired of taking care of by me now? Do you want to leave? Or do you think I'm useless?"
