Hester frowned and looked at Austin, her palms full of sweat. She took a deep breath and stared at
Austin.
"Brother Austin, I think it clearly. I've always said that I want to have a try with you. Every time I say it,
it's true. Only you don't take it seriously!
So, this time I want to solemnly inform you that we can have a try."
Austin looked at Hester with burning eyes, his hands trembling with excitement. He wanted to touch her
face, but he was afraid that it was a dream and would be broken by his carelessness.
"Hester... What did you say just now?"
"I said that I will tell grandpa to cancel the engagement with the Yu family and I will be with you!"
Hester repeated her words tirelessly. Tears were about to fall from her eyes. Her mood was very
complicated, but she felt more relaxed.
She didn't want to owe Austin anything. He was the one who loved her most in the world. It was said
that sometimes it was very likely to be a mistake to go forward. If one looked back at a critical moment,
it might be another world.
Austin was unexpectedly calm. He had waited for this moment for a long time, but now he felt it
unrealistic after his dream came true. But only he himself knew clearly how many feelings were hidden
behind this calm.
"Hester, are you serious this time?"
"I'm always telling the truth, but you always think I'm joking," Hester said with a faint bitter smile.
Everyone thought her love was worthless, but no one had seen her struggle in pain. She knew how
well Brother Austin treated her. That was why she wanted to give him a response.
She had worked hard to maintain their relationship for so many years, so she naturally understood the
bitterness in it. The reason why she did not say it was just for her remaining self-esteem.
"Brother Austin, I know what you are thinking. But please trust me. I will try my best to forget that
person."
Feeling heartbroken, Austin held her in his arms, with a touch of gloom in his eyes. There was a faint
bitter and helplessness in the corner of his mouth.
Hester said so because she didn't know what he had done. Once everything was exposed, he would
probably go to hell!
"Hester!" 'Don't be so good to me. I'm afraid I won't be able to let go of you by then!' he thought in his
heart.
He gently patted her on the back to calm her down. "Well, it's getting late. You should go back now!"
The next morning, Hester woke up in pain. She rubbed her sore neck, stood up slowly and walked out
of the bedroom. When she passed by the back garden last night, there was an inexplicable flash of
emotion.
'He... Is he all right? Last night, both Leo and Derek tried to kill him!'
"No! Hester, what are you thinking about? No matter what happened to that man has nothing to do with
you. You have nothing to do with him anymore. Just stop dreaming, okay?"
"I heard you talking to yourself in the early morning. Did you do something wrong?" Leo said slowly
with a smile, patting her on the back.
Hester's heart trembled. She slowly turned around and saw Leo looking at her with a playful
expression.
"Cousin, you are so excited in the early morning. I really admire you."
She said it in such a low voice that he might not hear anything, right?
Although she thought so, she still felt a little guilty. After all, there were some things that had to end.
She couldn't forget it. It was a dangerous thing for her and Brother Austin.
"But when did you stand behind me? Did you hear anything you shouldn't hear?"
Frowning, Leo recalled the scene carefully. He could only hear her muttering, but he didn't hear clearly
what she was saying.
"I really regret that I didn't listen to you carefully just now."
Hester's lips trembled. She raised her hand and gave him a punch before slowly walking away.
"Grandpa is waiting for us. Cousin, don't be late."
Leo covered his stomach and sighed. "As my cousin, don't you know that you should be nicer to me?"
At least, she didn't have to do it so hard!
"Hester, can we set some rules in the future?"
The only response was her cold back. Hester didn't want to talk to him at all. She just wanted to go to
her grandfather as soon as possible, in case she was annoyed by him.
"Hester, if you don't like the rules, can we restrain you from hitting me?"
Hester ignored the complaining of her cousin behind her and walked forward, thinking about her own
affairs. She couldn't let go of the matter of Terence, and it tortured her and Brother Austin at the same
time.
She didn't care about it herself, but Brother Austin made it difficult for her.
"Grandpa!" Thinking of the matter with Terence, Hester went to the outer bedroom unconsciously. She
hurriedly calmed down and nodded softly.
"Hum." Edmund nodded slightly, holding a cup of tea in his hand and taking a sip. He raised his eyes
and glanced at Leo, who followed her.
"I heard that you beat the boy from Qi family yesterday. Is that true?"
"I asked Leo to help me," Hester said without hesitation. After all, Leo was helping her. She couldn't
convict him.
"Only him?" Edmund's words were full of confidence. It was obvious that he didn't believe in Leo's
abilities. He was so weak and a psychologist. How could he fight with others?
"I know Leo's fighting skills very well. Although he won't be beaten miserably, he hasn't been able to
send that boy into the hospital yet."
Hester raised her eyebrows and glanced at Leo with contempt. This cousin was really not a reliable
one!
"Grandpa is right. Last night, Derek also helped me."
"Although he looks gentle in daily life, he is really good at fighting!" Edmund nodded with satisfaction.
He appreciated Derek's fighting ability very much.
"Hester, it will be good for you to get engaged to Derek!"
