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 disdainful.
"I'm sorry! I only express my politeness to people who deserve my respect, but Miss Yam, I can't do it
to you!"
"You..."
Looking at Austin with a ferocious face, Yam wanted to say something but stopped on a second
thought. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. What she needed to do now was to get close to
Hester. She must not offend Austin!
"Mr. Austin! I understand your feelings, just as I chased after Terence. But as a senior, I still want to
teach you a lesson. Sometimes the heart of a loved one blinds your eyes and hurts some people!"
"Obviously, Miss Yam is warning me! However, it is still uncertain who is the younger generation and
who is the elder. But I don't intend to accept your advice. I won't change my mind at all!"
Austin looked at Yam calmly, expressionless. He opened his mouth and said word by word.
"Miss Yam, if you still want to work hard, I have no objection. But please change your target and let go
of my Hester!"
"Huh!"
Yam chuckled with mixed feelings. She raised her hand to tuck the short hair near her ear. Her eyes
were shining. After removing the heavy makeup, her young face was a little fresh at the moment.
She used to be stubborn. But now, didn't she give up those childish ideas?
"Mr. Austin, you are too naive! Nowadays, everyone in the society would be affected by the specific
social environment, and more or less there would be some changes.
And Mr. Austin, you are still trapped in it. I can understand why you are so confused!"
Austin nodded slightly and stared at the back of Yam's hand, carefully treating the wound. Different
people never work together. He wouldn't force her to agree with him.
"Miss Yam, there is a huge gap between us. There is no need for me to sympathize with you. Likewise,
you won't agree with the reason why I asked you to leave Hester. But I don't care about it!"
Hearing what Austin's words, Yam sighed in her heart more or less. How happy Hester should be to be
loved and taken care of like this!
"I'm very jealous of Hester!"
Austin was stunned for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes and chuckled. His jade like fingertips
gently touched the back of her red and swollen hand, with a slight chill. The he crushed the white
ointment.
"Being jealous sometimes is also a kind of happiness!"
Yam's eyes were slightly wet. She looked at Austin's head and couldn't help trembling and being a little
absent-minded. He was right. Being jealous was also a kind of happiness.
But now, except for her beautiful face, there was nothing left. She had been in that kind of place before,
but she was lower than usual.
"Mr. Austin, no matter what you think of me, I will stick to my own idea and won't deliberately change it.
I know how important Hester is in your heart, but I'm sorry!"
"Sir, do you need to change the ice cubes?"
The waitress approached them and asked cautiously when she saw that the two of them didn't look
well. After all, this was a cafe. 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."
