When Lisa came over, she saw such a strange scene. Hester and Thomas sat one end of the sofa in
silence.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked up at Austin in confusion, trying to find an answer.
Austin stood up lazily, fetched Hester's clothes and put them on her, smiling.
"Let's go! Let's send Thomas back!"
Nodding slightly, Hester stood up with the strength of Austin, pulled her clothes and sorted them out.
Helplessly looking at the listless Thomas, she sighed.
"Thomas, let's go!"
Hearing his mother's call, Thomas smiled happily. He jumped to Hester, clutched the corner of her
clothes and nodded hard.
Fortunately, his mother didn't blame him. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.
Lisa had come to pick up Thomas, but now they were walking together. Lisa didn't show any
expression on her face, but she felt relieved in her heart. After all, they were mother and son. How
could she be so heartless?
"Well, Thomas, hurry up! Remember to apologize when you see your father later, okay?"
Holding Thomas' hand, Hester stood at the gate of the villa, and she exhorted with concern. She finally
saw through that although this boy looked soft and easy to be bullied, inside he was very stubborn.
She knew that she was not his mother, and she had no reason to discipline him. But he was only three
years old, so it was reasonable for him to be willful.
"Yes, I know. After I go back, I will definitely admit my mistakes to dad!"
Thomas promised confidently. He looked at Hester, hoping to be praised.
Without receiving the call from Thomas, Hester was still worried. She was a little concerned about
Terence's strange state today.
"Lisa, Thomas has gone too far today, but he didn't make any trouble. You must help him when you
enter the room later!"
"Miss Hester, don't worry. I will protect the little young master well."
Tears welled up in Lisa's eyes. Fortunately, she was standing in the light and no one noticed anything
unusual.
"Come in!"
Austin held Hester in his arms and looked at Lisa with a smile. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced
at the figure upstairs, and his face darkened.
"Goodbye, Miss Hester and Mr. Austin!"
With her hands in front of her, Lisa bowed politely and said goodbye. Good cultivation and professional
ethics reflected incisively and vividly on her.
Standing in front of the window, Terence's body was stiff. The dim light cast on him, and there was a
hint of loneliness hidden in it for no reason.
Hearing the noise just now, he guessed that Thomas had come back. He wanted to come and have a
look, so that he would feel relieved. However, he didn't expect to see this scene.
He clenched his fists and his forehead bulged. His long and narrow eyes were red, and his steady
breath was a little messy at this moment.
He had promised that he would leave some time for each other to calm down, but every time he saw
her, all his efforts would change in an instant.
"Sir, the young master is back."
Hearing Lisa's voice outside the door, Terence got rid of jealousy. He closed his eyes, smiled with self-
mockery and calmed down. He turned around and sat at the desk, leafing through the documents as if
nothing had happened.
"Okay!"
"Dad, I'm here to apologize to you!"
Standing at the door, Thomas said decisively. As a well-behaved and obedient child, he must follow his
mother's instructions and confess!
Raising his cold eyebrows, Terence closed the file with a pause. He fixed his eyes on the door, with a
hint of slyness in his eyes.
"Come in!"
Holding the handrail, Thomas looked up at Lisa and thought for a while. "Auntie Lisa, I want to talk to
dad. You can go ahead with your work."
Lisa raised her eyebrows in surprise. Although she was confused, she didn't ask. Then she turned
around and left.
Looking at Lisa's back, Thomas took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He stood timidly in front
of his father, his little hands tightly intertwined.
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
Terence raised his eyebrows and tapped his fingertips on the table. He stared at Thomas, not knowing
what he was going to say.
"Okay!"
The indifferent word made Thomas tremble slightly, and the atmosphere made him feel very
uncomfortable. Although he was three years old, he was more mature than before.
Although he didn't know much about the relationship between adults, he never asked. He didn't talk
much with his father, and they just got along quietly.
"Dad, I apologize for what happened today. I'm sorry!"
Hearing this, Terence was surprised. Looking at Thomas, he guessed that Hester must have said
something!
"Okay, I know."
Thomas frowned in confusion and looked at Terence, wondering why he said that. According to his
mother, it should be a very serious matter to ask him to apologize!
"Don't do it again! If you want to find your mother, I won't stop you. But at least you should let Lisa
know where you are, okay?"
Sighing slightly, Terence felt powerless. Even though Thomas was intelligent, it was still unable to avoid
his emotional loss. He had slight autism and was gifted, but he was almost blank in love.
The God was always fair. The more outstanding one was in a certain aspect, the more shortcomings
one would have in some aspects.
Nodding her head, something flashed through Thomas' mind, but it disappeared so fast that he couldn't
catch it.
"Then I'll go to bed."
After thinking for a while, he couldn't get an answer, so he just let it go.
"Thomas, did you blame your mother?"
Terence's voice was ethereal, and the dim room was depressing. His eyes were fixed on Thomas,
searching carefully, but he didn't know what he was looking for.
"No!"
Feeling empty in his heart, Thomas turned her back to Terence and lowered her head, making it difficult
to see through him. Or, he was in a complicated mood now.
"Dad, is mom unwilling to recognize me because she is angry with me?"
A flicker of emotion flashed across Terence's calm face, and his heart instantly lost its original
frequency and beat faster. He unconsciously tightened his hands and inexplicably felt nervous.
"Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"No, I just feel a little sad that I can't call her mom."
Looking at the intertwined hands, there was no expression on Thomas' round face.
"Dad, will you find a stepmother for me?"
