Hester sighed tiredly. She didn't feel relieved until she held the door frame. She turned her head and looked at the leisurely Austin, feeling sad.
She really didn't understand Brother Austin. From the day she returned, even though he was still very good to her, she just felt that some things were different.
They had always tacitly chosen not to mention anything about what had happened three years ago. But tonight, he mentioned again and again, why?
And in front of Terence, she was really at a loss.
"I did it on purpose."
Austin calmly took a sip of the tea in front of him. His long and thick eyelashes flickered slightly. He put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Hester with an unreadable meaning.
Her heart trembled. Under such gaze, Hester was actually a little timid. She took a deep breath and calmly sat opposite Austin, lowering her eyes.
"Why?"
After a moment of silence, she heard her hoarse voice with questioning. She never thought that one day, she would face Austin in this tone, as if standing on the opposite side of each other, making her very sad.
She clenched her fists and looked at the man in front of her with burning eyes.
Compared with Hester's excitement, Austin was very calm. When he sat on the sofa, the sun shone through his face, which made his features more outstanding.
"Hester, how long are you going to hide like this?"
Hester didn't know how to answer this simple sentence. She slowly sighed and casually sat aside, losing some of her anger in an instant.
Since she came back, she had never been able to avoid Terence. Then why did Austin say that?

"Exactly!"
Melody curled up in Terence's arms, seductively clinging to him, laughing at her current embarrassment.
"Hester, don't try to provoke someone you can't compare with, or you will only bring disgrace on yourself. But since you have made a great contribution to Terence taking over Qi Group, I will treat your child well. Don't worry!"
After listening to Melody quietly, Terence cast a sharp glance at Hester, emotionless and terribly cold.
"Fuck off!"
His words were clear, but they easily destroyed the last defense line in Hester's heart. She staggered backward awkwardly. Because of the tears, the people in front of them were a little blurred.
She didn't believe that the person she loved would be so cruel. He had always been the most important person in her life. How could he treat her like this?
"No, it's not true!"
Hester grabbed her hair and roared. Her pale face looked like a ghost that had climbed up from hell, sobbing coldly.
She held Terence's hands tightly and greedily felt the warmth.
"It's not true. Terence, tell me it's not true!"
