Hearing Yam's soft voice, Austin stopped what he was doing and instantly returned to normal. He lowered his eyes and gently dealt with her scald.
An indescribable feeling surged up in his heart, and he always had a different feeling for Yam. It was indeed a little hurtful for him to say so much before.
However, he couldn't turn a blind eye to Hester.
"Yam, I don't know what your purpose is. But it's not easy for you to get rid of the past now. There's no need to get yourself involved in these messy things."
Yam bit her lips, with tears in her eyes. She tightened her hand on her side and looked at Austin stubbornly.
"I have no purpose!"
Austin sneered and hid the meaning behind it, which was hard to see clearly. His fingertips were applying medicine to Yam's hand. And his focused look made people unconsciously have an illusion.
"Miss Yam, please don't mind my previous attitude! We are both grown-ups. There is no need to hide anything.
Hester was kind-hearted, so she was unwilling to think everything complicated, let alone guess people's hearts. But you are different. How could such a living environment be as simple as before?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yam's face. She avoided the burning eyes of Austin. She took a deep breath and suppressed all the sadness in her heart. Then she forced a smile and looked at him.
"Mr. Austin, I understand your eagerness to protect your loved one. But please respect me when you do this, okay?"
"Respect?"
Austin smiled as if he had heard something funny. So far, Yam was the only person he had met that was still smiling at her exposed past.
However, it was a pity! Except for Hester, he had never been a gentle person. Even if the woman in front of him was exceedingly beautiful, he was completely di
e. She had to pay special attention to it!
Yam regained her composure and nodded to calm herself down. When she looked up again, she was still dignified and generous, showing no sign of hostility in her argument with him just now.
"No, thanks."
Frowning in confusion, the waitress looked between the two people and could only nod slightly and leave.
Austin looked at Yam with his deep eyes. No one knew what he was thinking about. This woman was much more powerful than he had imagined. It was really difficult.
Even if he didn't know the purpose of her flattering Hester, it could only be a disaster to let her go.
"Why did Melody take you out of the night club?"
Yam's heart trembled when she heard Melody's name. Although she didn't know much about Austin, she knew that his identity must be not simple.
Since Melody took her out of that place, there was no reason for her to be surprised.
How could a snobbish man like Liam keep his mouth shut for her?
"It seems that Mr. Austin has made a lot of preparations before he came. But unfortunately, Hester has been affected. You can't change anything.
At most, you will only create some obstacles on my way to Hester."
