Hearing this, Hester's mouth twitched. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and
silently agreed with him. Moreover, his fighting skills were really incomparable to that of ordinary
people!
"Thank you two for your kindness, but I really don't need it this time."
"Hester, don't you really think about taking me there?" Leo said with a smile, looking at Hester. "I'm
afraid you can't deal with Austin."
Hester didn't want Leo to go, but what he said was true.
"I'm a psychotherapist. Although Austin is a little difficult to deal with, as long as I want, there is no one
I can't get!"
Leo raised his eyebrows, noticing Hester's hesitation. He hurriedly increased his chips and continued. It
was not easy to find her cousin! He must keep an eye on her. She couldn't be taken away so easily!
"I thought it would be better for you to take me, your fiance, with you than this loser!" Standing next to
them, Derek said coldly.
After all, if he really needed to do something, he could solve the problem quickly and save a lot of time.
Hester was blocked in the middle, indicating that she wanted neither of them. However, her arms were
tightly shackled and unable to move at all.
She showed deep helplessness.
"Cousin, Derek, can you let go of me first?"
"Okay!" Leo was the first to make a concession. After all, it was his own cousin! He would absolutely
obey and do as she said. "You can't run away anyway. There's nothing to worry about."
Just now, the words that Hester wanted to express her gratitude were held back in her mouth. She
lowered her head listlessly. She didn't understand why would they have to do everything together?
"Did I do anything wrong recently to piss you off?"
The two looked at each other and said in a tacit manner, "No!"
"So you two don't like each other?" Hester looked at her toes and continued.
"Not really!"
"Did I get in your way?" Hester asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Absolutely not!"
Hearing the two people's consistent answers, Hester knew that if she thought they were normal, she
would be a fool!
"Oh! I see."
"No, why do I feel strange when I hear you say that?" Leo frowned and felt something wrong.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Derek.
"I have a fiancee, so my sexual orientation won't be suspected!" said Derek slowly. There was a trace
of ridicule on his expressionless face.
"I..."
Leo frowned and felt something strange, but he didn't know how to express it.
Hester was already used to this kind of scene. She raised her hand to tuck the short hair near her ear,
and no longer fought for her freedom.
Sitting in the car, two bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right, tightly protected her. Hester sat
in the middle listlessly, thinking about how to explain it to Brother Austin later.
"Don't worry. I'm here!"
Holding Hester's cold hand, Leo said affectionately. Although he had thought highly of Austin as his
cousin's husband before, he still thought that Derek would be more suitable for her.
Of course, Austin did love Hester very much. He believed that Derek was the most reliable man.
"Okay!"
Hester nodded and stared at her toes, lost in thought. She had left for so many days and hadn't called
him. Would Brother Austin be angry?
She didn't know where her phone was left because it was all of a sudden. However, since she knew
that Edmund was her grandfather, she hadn't called Brother Austin. It was really her fault.
Hester came to the door of Austin's house with uneasiness and stood outside. She had been in and out
of the door countless times, but today she felt particularly conflicted.
If Brother Austin was here, how should she explain what had happened in the past two days? If he was
not here, things would be much easier?
"Cousin, tell me if you have invited Brother Austin tonight."
Hester wanted to confirm the list of the banquet tonight.
"The Lin family's industrial center is abroad, while the Liu family's is at home. The two families basically
have no conflict. Grandpa drew up the list of this party. I checked it and found no Austin's name."
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Leo said with certainty. To be honest, if Austin had been there, it
would have been a huge blow to him.
He had protected Hester for more than three years, but he hadn't succeeded in winning her heart. He
had to see her in another man's arms again. This fact was really tragic!
Derek looked at Hester indifferently. After standing here for so long, he was indeed a little impatient.
"Open the door!"
"Okay!" Hester nodded obediently and stopped thinking about it. She took out the key from her bag and
calmed down as the door was opened.
The room was dark without any sign of strangers. Turning on the light, Hester looked at the familiar
layout and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You can sit here as you like!"
She put her handbag aside and invited the two of them to sit down.
"Huh! I have come here as many times as you!" Leo sneered and replied slowly. He lay on the sofa
lazily and sighed comfortably.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened. Austin walked out of the room with his
sleepy eyes. Wearing pajamas, he looked very cute.
"Brother Austin!"
Hester lost her calmness in an instant. She stood up in embarrassment, holding the edge of her clothes
tightly with her hands, and looked at Austin in panic.
"Hester?" Austin rubbed his eyes and thought he was dreaming. Just now, he heard her voice
indistinctly. He tried to come out to have a look, but he didn't expect that she really came back.
"You are back."
Hearing this, Hester couldn't help but shed tears. Over the years, he had never questioned her. All he
wanted was her safety.
She rushed to Austin and held him tightly with her hands. Her tears wet his clothes and clung to his
body.
"I'm back."
