Hester was stunned and tightened her chopsticks. She pursed her lips and looked at the child in front of her, with mixed feelings.
For a moment, the whole room was unusually quiet.
"Sorry, I don't know!"
Terence slowly raised his head and looked into Hester's clear eyes. Leaning against the chair lazily, he looked at Hester with a shallow look.
"Did you like tomatoes before?"
The atmosphere was getting colder and colder. Hester took a deep breath and held the chopsticks tightly, hoping that the embarrassment would disappear as soon as possible, so she wouldn't be so suffering.
"Mr. Terence must have made a mistake. I always like eating tomatoes."
Then she picked up another piece and put it in the mouth, chewing it carefully. The sour taste filled her mouth, making her unbearable, but so familiar.
The taste of tomatoes had always been awful and she didn't understand why. But after she woke up from that nightmare three years ago, she had been trying hard to change her taste.
She wanted to cut off all contact with the past, and all traces were erased from inside to outside.
"EW!"
With a retch, Thomas spat out all the tomatoes he had just eaten. His smiling face crumpled, and his face was pale.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Hester picked up the cup at hand. She held Thomas in one hand and poured the water into it. She gently patted his back to help him breathe.
She didn't like eating tomatoes before because she would vomit as long as she taste it. She took a piece of tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth gently. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the child.
He was so obedient and sensible that he could always easily affect the deep feelings in her heart, inexplicably trembling.
"If you don't like it, then don't force yourself. You don't have to do anything like this, okay?"
Terence leaned forward sligh
re some grudges between you.
I'm his girlfriend now. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I'd better avoid it! "
She was just trying to refuse him politely. Terence smiled and looked at Hester quietly, with an unreadable light in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then I'm really being rude."
He nodded and accidentally saw the scar on her wrist. The scar was ferocious on her vital part, but it could still make people feel the pain at that time.
"You still don't want to admit it?"
The scar pricked his eyes fiercely, and the mood that had been rippling was instantly rough. His eyes gradually became sharp, through the layers of air, staring straight at her, with a trace of scrutiny.
Hester panicked. She subconsciously wanted to cover the scar, but she felt that it was too obvious, so she simply let others watch it casually.
"Is Mr. Terence always so unreasonable?"
With a sneer, Terence looked at her pretending to be calm, with flames burning in his heart for a long time.
Did she really want to deny it? She had exposed so much, but why didn't she admit it?
"Scars! Do you still want to get rid of the traces of suicide?"
"People in our profession always inadvertently offend people, this is the best proof!"
