Hester sat there in silence for a long time. She looked at the ground calmly, frowning.
It was not that she didn't want to answer, but that she didn't know how to answer. She didn't have an answer to this question herself, let alone to solve others' doubts.
"I don't know, but I'm fine now. That's enough."
Looking at Hester raising her head, Jackson smiled. Tapping his fingers on his legs, Jackson looked at her and gradually calmed down.
"Do you think regret is useless?"
With a slight nod, Hester turned her head and looked at his calm eyes, raising the corners of her mouth slightly. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, which was so messy that it just covered her eyes to avoid being noticed by others at that moment.
Since he was a child, he had been educated to be self-centered. But since he met Hester, he seemed to have changed his way of doing things.
Austin had been silently waiting for her, which gave him a lot of motivation. But every time he met her pure eyes, he would unconsciously arouse the desire of possession in his heart, which he could not restrain.
"Get your hands off me. My hair is messed up by you."
"Don't think you can avoid answering my question by pretending to know nothing. I'm not as good as Austin who will always be with you. So, now please forget all those messy things and continue to be the strong and confident Hester!"
Her eyes were tightly covered by black hair. Hester couldn't struggle away, but could only be quietly ravaged by him. She put her hands in front of her and endured it silently.
"Jackson, is this how you treat your benefactor? If I hadn't paid for you by accident, you would have been beaten up."
"Have you heard of the saying that people sure change?" Jackson didn't think his behavior was inappropriate, so he just said it.
Hester was so angry that she didn't expect him to say something like that
very part of my body has rust, which is very uncomfortable!"
Without hesitation, Jackson picked her up by the waist. His eyebrows slightly raised, with a hint of malice. "Since your legs and feet are inconvenient, why don't you let your boyfriend carry you downstairs?"
Hester lazily let him hold her in his arms. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and there was no trace of sadness any more. Her hands were naturally drooping, lying in his arms, relaxed. She only felt that her accumulated limbs were slowly regaining consciousness.
"I'm not feeling well today. You can send me back as a substitute!"
The two went downstairs, laughing and facing Terence who was standing in the corner. His whole body was shrouded in darkness, and the expression on his face was uncertain.
"Mr. Terence, I thought it over that day and realized that my attitude was a little extreme. I apologize to you!"
Jackson nodded and greeted first. The only purpose of that day was to prevent him from telling the truth, so his means were naturally more radical.
But now Hester had just stabilized her mood. He was really afraid that Terence would say something to stimulate her.
"Mr. Jackson, you are so ridiculous. I have already forgotten what happened that day."
