Chapter 698 Be Friends

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing the voice, Hester came to herself from the conversation that night. She shook her head slightly and concentrated on reading the documents in her hand. Since she had promised Austin, she had to read the information.

And Lucas' law office was no longer convenient to go back, so she registered and opened her own law office. It's better to be a boss by yourself than to be suppressed by others.

After hearing the news, Lucas called Jessie to be her assistant.

Hester was glad to accept this decision. In the past few days at home, as her assistant, Jessie naturally had a tacit understanding between the two.

"No, I'm not. I'm just not used to staying at home for such a long time."

Hester took a sip of the coffee and said with a bitter smile.

"I'm flattered, Miss April. I haven't been able to keep up with you since I took over the case. If you don't get used to it, then I've made no progress in the past few days, instead, I've regressed."

Jessie frowned and looked at Hester bitterly. She had thought that her study these days could help her. However she just came to help her sort out the documents.

"Don't be discouraged. When you were with me before, you were able to get involved in some cases. Naturally, you grew fast during that period of time."

Hester lowered her head and played with the cup in her hand, feeling a little guilty.

"But it's all my fault. If I hadn't resigned, you wouldn't have been stagnant because no one took care of you!"

Jessie was flattered by Hester's words. She had never complained about Hester. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been like this!

"Miss April, please don't say that! If you hadn't chosen me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stay in this law office with my qualifications. How could I have such a good fortune today?"

Looking at Jessie's frightened face, Hester couldn't help but think of herself. She used to be s

phan, and you were just a deaf. How could you stand beside Terence? So I did something against you.

But when I experienced the difficulties, I realized how it felt to be trampled underfoot. I think you were the same as me, weren't you?"

Yam sat aside and opened the lunch boxes one by one, preparing the lunch of Hester. She lowered her eyes and nodded, with a trace of sadness for no reason.

She looked very calm, which made people feel sad. There was no trace of the past in front of her, as if she had changed completely.

"Human beings are very strange creatures. They don't understand the bitterness until they experience it personally. Maybe it's because I'm too comfortable in my daily life that I look down on you.

When I met you in the community, I couldn't help but have a whim. Maybe God let me meet you again because he wanted me to make up for the mistakes I had made!"

Hearing Yam's long story, Hester didn't know how to describe her current state of mind. There were bitterness, excitement, and perhaps a little pleasure!

She was not a holy being, nor could she reconcile herself to the past. She had been avoiding Yam because she couldn't let go of her past.

"I really appreciate that you can speak out your thoughts frankly. If possible, we may try to be friends!"
