As soon as Austin's voice fell to the ground, the chopsticks in Hester's hand fell on the ground. She
paused for a moment and then returned to normal.
She looked at the other three people with a wry smile, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.
What Austin said caught her off guard!
"It's an accident!"
Austin smiled, but his eyes flashed with a very complicated light. As if nothing had happened, he took
out a tissue and put it in Hester's hand.
"Her hand has got this problem since three years ago. Don't mind, Mr. Terence!"
Hearing Austin's casual words, Terence tightened his grip on the chopsticks. He closed his eyes and
suppressed all the emotions in his heart, but his body honestly trembled slightly.
He couldn't forget what happened three years ago. Just like the barrier in his heart, it turned into a gap
and completely cut off the distance between the two.
"According to Mr. Austin, you have had a wonderful time in just three years!"
"I'm flattered, Mr. Terence. It's not so wonderful. But as long as she is here, I'm naturally happy."
Austin nodded modestly and couldn't help smiling. There was a faint pleasure between his eyebrows.
For the three years that had passed, it was naturally the three years that he would never forget.
"No talking while eating or sleeping!"
Seeing the quietly changing atmosphere between the two of them, Hester thought for a moment, but
could not find a better solution.
There was an old saying by chance, which seemed to be used to persuade people to eat quietly.
Hester said it smugly. She had thought that the situation would change, but it was more tragic to find
that the two people's attention was all on her.
Hester calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it into Thomas' bowl. She raised her hand to tuck her
hair behind her back. With a gentle smile at the corners of her mouth, she exuded a strong maternal
love.
"Thomas, eat more!"
Austin sighed and didn't say anything according to Hester's words. He could see through her little trick
at a glance. But why did she care so much about mentioning what happened three years ago? Couldn't
she let go of Terence?
He raised his eyes and glanced at Terence, who was sitting opposite him. There were mixed feelings in
his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
"What happened to Miss April three years ago?"
Terence stared at Hester, blue veins standing out on the back of his hand, trying to suppress his anger.
Three years had become his inner demon, and once it was touched, it would be irreparable.
How could a frail person leave their newborn baby so carefully and go abroad resolutely?
Three years ago? Hester raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with sadness. She lowered her head and
ate the rice in boredom, resisting this question.
"I just want to learn the law and become a lawyer. I have suffered a lot during this period."
Her explanation was so casual without any emotion embellishment, or the answer was just a casual
attitude.
Terence chuckled and was in a trance for a moment. He would rather she was still the weeping Hester,
at least she was not so resistant to people around her!
"It must have been difficult for Miss April to achieve what she is today!"
Austin sat quietly aside and didn't interrupt. He looked at the two people who were silent from the
corner of his eyes and felt a little sad.
Once upon a time, Hester had made Terence the only faith in her life. Even if she had to sacrifice her
life, she would not hesitate. But now, they seemed to be trying their best to mock Hester's love for him.
Thomas' eyes twinkled. He was too young to understand the subtlety of their conversation. With his
keen insight, he felt strange.
"Auntie April, can I come tomorrow?"
His little hand tightly grasped the corner of Hester's clothes, and his face was full of undisguised
expectations. If possible, he really wanted to live here and live in the same house with his mother. It
was his wish since he was born three years ago.
Hester nodded slightly, thinking that she would be a little bored if she resigned at home. It was much
safer to stay at home than show up in public.
"Okay!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Thomas let go of her hand happily and nodded at the food in her
bowl. As a well-behaved and sensible child, he must not be picky about food. He must take his
mother's words as the rule and stick to it.
Standing at the door, Hester looked helplessly at Thomas, who was holding her sleeve tightly and was
unwilling to leave. He had just been clamoring to come here tomorrow. How did it turn out to be like this
in a blink of an eye?
With a sigh, she squatted down and touched Thomas' soft head with a smile.
"Thomas, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to leave Auntie April!"
Thomas pouted his mouth in grievance. His smile was as wrinkled as a steamed bun. He held Hester]
tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Auntie April, can you go back with me? Come with me tomorrow!"
Hester frowned helplessly. She understood Thomas' words. He didn't want to leave her, so he wanted
to take her with him.
He was destined to go back to this place tomorrow so he wanted to come over with her together! There
was no problem in his words, but he didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.
"Thomas, if you don't want to Auntie April, you can come early tomorrow. It's late now. Auntie April
should go to bed."
Austin looked at Thomas with deep eyes and said slowly. He put his hand on Hester's shoulder
possessively with an irresistible aura.
He would never allow anyone to take Hester away from him, even if that person was her own son!
Terence stared at the hand with red eyes. But he still tried to control his emotions, as if he had heard
firecrackers ringing in his ears.
"Thomas, don't disturb Auntie April. Let's go!"
"Okay!"
Thomas lowered his head listlessly. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still felt sorry for his mother.
His father once said that if he didn't have a good rest, he would be in a bad mood.
He had always hoped that his mother would be fine, so he should not disturb her!
"Auntie April, you must go to bed early. I will come to see you tomorrow!"
Hester, of course, didn't know what was on Thomas' mind. She felt relieved and looked at the person in
front of her lovingly.
"Thomas, you should also sleep well. Goodbye!"
