Chapter 704 Don't Take It Seriously

The spade in Austin's hand shook and almost fell to the ground. His heart trembled and he quickly collected his thoughts. The perfect spoon filled the plate.

He turned around with slight smile on his face.

"I saw you were busy just now, so I didn't talk to you." "Dinner is ready. Wash your hands!"

Hester smiled sweetly with empty belly. As long as Brother Austin was there, she would never worry about eating. What a home wrecker!

In contrast, she suddenly felt that her skill was really not enough in front of Austin!

Putting the dishes on the table, Austin untied the belt and took off the apron. When he turned around, he saw Hester standing behind him with a tangled face. He could not help but sigh.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on her forehead, pulling back her wandering thoughts and raising the corners of his mouth.

"What are you thinking about? Go and wake up Thomas. Lisa will come to pick him up after dinner!"

"Okay!"

When Hester came to her senses, she covered her forehead and nodded silently. Lisa was really efficient. She turned around, rushed into the study, pulled Thomas up from his sleep, washed his hands, and carried him to the table.

"Hurry up. Lisa will pick you up later."

With tearful eyes, Thomas accused her. Was she in a hurry to send him away because he was disliked?

"Auntie April, did I do something wrong?"

Hester frowned and threw a few tissues at Thomas. She used to think that this child was obedient and sensible, but this afternoon's getting along with him really broadened her eyes.

He cried so often. And when he looked at her, she always felt as if she owed him a lot.

"Brother Austin, the soup is a little salty today."

The corners of Austin's mouth twitched violently. He looked up at Thomas, confused. With her care for Thomas in usual, how could

ght in the court, but now she was defeated by a child. It was really pitiful.

"Yes! He is right! It's late now. If you stay here any longer, your father will be worried!"

"Okay!"

Thomas replied unhappily. His mood, which had just been alleviated, darkened again. So in her heart, wasn't he more important than work?

"I know."

Hester raised her eyebrows. If Thomas was just crying loudly, she easily comfort him. But now he suddenly became so calm, which was really unbearable.

She raised her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows. This dinner must be the most unhappy one she had since she came back!

"Thomas, I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand me. Your father is worried about you. But it's so late now. Shouldn't you go home?"

Thomas nodded slightly and grabbed the rice in her bowl, not knowing what to do.

"I will be back when Auntie Lisa comes."

Seeing the interaction between the two people, Austin frowned slightly. He raised his hand and gently patted Hester's shoulder, silently comforting her.

"If you are worried about Thomas, I will accompany you to send him back later! Thomas is still young. There will be misunderstanding if we don't handle it properly. Don't take it seriously!"
