With his legs tightly held by Melody, Terence frowned and sighed. He bent down to help her up, looked
into her eyes and said slowly, "Melody, listen to me! Calm down! Don't be like this! What happened
between the two of us has passed. There is no possibility for us to be together anymore. Don't linger in
the memories. Just leave early!"
"No! I don't want to leave!"
Pushing Terence away, Melody covered her ears with her hands and didn't want to listen to him.
"I met you first. Why should I let that bitch Hester take you away? It's unfair!"
Taking a deep breath to restrain his emotions, Terence frowned and talked to her patiently.
"I have never been an accessory of anyone. There is no doubt about it. Melody, I know you can't
accept this fact.
But it has been so long. Can you wake up a little bit?"
"Wake up?"
Melody looked at Terence with tearful eyes. She was desperate and sad. She couldn't accept the fact.
Even though it had been a long time, she still couldn't let it go.
"How can I wake up? I have loved you for so long. How can I change so easily? I admit that when there
was something wrong with your company, I listened to my father and left.
But I was too young and naive at that time. How could I keep my promise? You know what? I regretted
it when I got on the plane, but I had no choice! I had no choice!"
Terence narrowed his eyes and understood what she said. Although they came from noble families,
they shouldered inescapable responsibilities.
Marriage could not be decided by themselves. If Qi Group didn't survive, there would be no possibility
between the two of them!
"Melody, I have never blamed you for that. Time is really a wonderful thing. When you desperately want
to grasp something, it passes quickly like fine sand.
I know how you feel now and how painful you are. But love was always unreasonable. It's not up to
you. It's up to heart!"
"Hahaha!"
Melody suddenly burst into laughter. She looked more and more embarrassed because she had cried
just now. It had been three years, and today was the most time the two of them had talked.
But why couldn't she be happy?
"Terence, you know what? I'm very happy that you talk to me like this today, really! Even if you said
these words to make me give up, I'm still happy!
But don't ask me to do something you can't do! If you want to wait for Hester, just wait. I won't stop you,
but please don't interfere with me!"
Hearing her determined tone, Terence felt a headache. He sighed helplessly and stopped forcing her.
She could do whatever she wanted.
"Melody, you can do anything you want, but please stop attacking Hester."
Melody lowered her head and sneered. Speaking of which, he couldn't avoid Hester.
"Don't worry! I won't make trouble for Hester anymore."
'I will make that bitch disappear from my sight and leave the world.'
With a meaningful look at Melody, Terence nodded slightly, turned around and left. If something went
too far, the result would be the opposite.
After leaving the Si family's house, Terence intended to meet Austin. He thought that he was not the
only one who was panicked when Hester was kidnapped.
He drove to the downstairs of the community and looked up at the window, raising his eyebrows
slightly. Then got off the car slowly, came to the door and pressed the doorbell.
As soon as Austin fell asleep, he was awakened by the annoying ringtone. He walked out of the room
impatiently, opened the door and frowned irritably.
"Who?"
"It's me!" Terence stared at Austin, frowning. Why did he look calm after Hester disappeared for two
days?
Did he already have any news?
"Where is Hester?"
Seeing the calm look on Austin's face, Terence was sure of his guess. But who on earth was so
capable?
Austin smiled scornfully at Terence. Leaning against the door lazily, he looked happy. It never occurred
to him that one day Terence would turn to him for help.
"Mr. Terence, I'm sorry! You have to have a good attitude when asking for help. It's impossible to get
the news like you do!"
Terence took a deep breath and looked terrible. He clenched his fists and kept silent for a while before
suppressing his frightening face and nodding symbolically.
"Please tell me, Mr. Austin, where is Hester now?"
Looking at Terence's humble attitude, Austin was very happy. He crossed his arms over his chest,
stared at Terence with a meaningful smile.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Terence would also ask for help! Unfortunately, I'm not going to tell you where
Hester is. Bye!"
After saying that, he closed the door ruthlessly, leaving him a door plank.
Terence closed his eyes and the door almost touched his nose. He clenched his fists and took a deep
breath to calm himself down.
'Austin, just wait and see!'
In the old house of the Liu family, Hester was sitting in a Chinese courtyard, holding a teacup at hand,
and reading a law dictionary attentively.
"You don't look good. You should have a good rest and don't work so hard."
Leo closed the dictionary in front of her and sat down beside her. His dark eyes were full of gentleness.
Her cousin was so hardworking. As a man, he felt ashamed of himself!
Hester looked up, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and took a sip with a smile. "I have no choice. I'm
used to it. When I first came into contact with the law industry, I was afraid that I would fall behind
others."
Leo nodded in agreement. He didn't need to look at her three years ago, because he could imagine it.
"Austin has suffered a lot!"
When Leo suddenly mentioned Austin, Hester's heart trembled and she looked at him in panic.
"Cousin, I disappeared all of a sudden and didn't call Brother Austin. Is he going crazy now?"
"Don't worry. I have informed Austin. He is fine!"
