Win Her Back

Chapter 677 An Awkward Meeting

Austin was expressionless and looked ahead indifferently, as if he didn't care. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and crossed his fingertips.

"Thomas is crying to see you. Is it convenient for you?"

Turning his head to look at Thomas, Terence sighed and said indifferently. But only he himself knew what kind of surging power was under this calm appearance.

Hester frowned in embarrassment and fell into a dilemma. She raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, not knowing what to do at this moment.

It was Terence who had enmity with her, but Thomas was just a child without any mistakes. What should he do?

"Tell him you will go there later!"

After listening to their conversation carefully, Austin's eyes flashed and slowly opened his mouth. His tone was neither sad nor happy, without any emotion.

Three years ago, it was his momentary greed that made the child lose his mother. Now that the child had experienced such a thing, it was reasonable for him to rely on Hester. He had no reason to stop it.

Blood was thicker than water. This kind of illusory thing was always very wonderful. They were pulling each other in the world, making people involuntarily approach and attract each other.

Hester was stunned and turned to look at Austin with a complicated mood. Brother Austin had always cared about her meeting with Terence, but why did he suddenly change his mind today?

"Well, I'll be there soon!"

When she came to her senses, she answered Terence perfunctorily and hung up the phone quickly.

Noticing Hester's gaze, Austin sighed. He pulled over the car slowly and turned his head, meeting Hester's confused gaze.

"Children are always fragile in emotions. Besides, I'm not that narrow-minded!"

Half an hour later, Austin slowly stopped the car at the gate of the Qi family's villa. Looking at the house, he was extremely depressed.

He felt sad at the thought that this used to be their home for the two of them.

"I'll wait for you here. Go back quickly!"

Hester knew that it was already his limit to send her here. Of course, she would not take him in. She unfastened the seat belt and nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go in first. Brother Austin, wait for me for a moment!"

Hester rushed to the villa. Looking at Lisa who was standing at the door, Hester had an illusion that she had never left. She nodded to greet her and looked up at the upstairs.

Lisa nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Miss Hester, sir and the young master are upstairs. Please go upstairs quickly!"

Hester exhaled and went upstairs. Looking at the familiar decoration, she was in a strange mood. She stood at the door of a room, leaned over and shook her head helplessly.

"Why are you crying?"

She walked in slowly and sat down beside Thomas. Her heart ached when she looked at his red eyes.

Thomas smiled through tears, which looked funny. His short legs struggled out of the bed and quickly ran to Hester, holding her legs tightly.

"Mom... Auntie April, you are finally here."

Hester bent down and held Thomas in her arms. She felt more and more painful. It seemed that there was no way to cure her maternal disease in her life.

Her eyes quietly fell on the straight figure on the balcony. She raised her eyebrows and hesitated whether she should greet that person. The guest was a guest, and the host had a bad temper. As a guest, should she greet him?

"Auntie April, did you have a nightmare after you went back?"

Thomas shook Hester's hand and drew her attention back to his side. He raised his little face and looked very serious.

"A nightmare?"

Hester was confused. She frowned at the little boy in front of her, wondering what he was thinking at the moment.

"Why do I have nightmares?"

"Stupid Auntie! After experiencing such a horrible thing, generally girls will have nightmares!"

Thomas looked at the person in front of him with disdain. With a slight frown, he looked at the person on the balcony.

Other people's parents were always on good terms with each other, but why did his parents talk so little like strangers?

Being despised, Hester was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She had experienced this kind of thing before. Why did she have nightmares? And who on earth instilled him such a strange idea? It was really troublesome.

The right world view and values should be cultivated from an early age. It was really useless talk about these nonsense for no reason.

Hester raised her hand to rub his soft hair. She loved it, but she couldn't touch it all the time. She reluctantly withdrew her hand and put it aside with regret.

"Ah! You mean that! Auntie, you are so bold and naturally different from ordinary girls!"

Standing on the balcony and listening to the conversation in the room, Terence's resolute lips slightly raised. He stared at the car at the door, lost in thought. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Since Hester had agreed to come, he had been standing there alone. When he saw the car slowly pull over, he felt that the blood all over his body was flowing back.

"Dad, Auntie April is here. Why don't you come in?"

After all, Thomas was a child. He just wanted to stay with his parents. After chatting with Hester for a while, he remembered his father who was pretending to be a sculpture.

Unconsciously straightening his body, Terence turned his head and smiled as if nothing had happened. He walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for coming here today, Miss April."

"You're welcome, Mr. Terence! Anyway, he is a little child. I don't think it's troublesome!"

Holding Thomas in her arms, Hester looked at Terence with a smile, not feeling anything inappropriate. Brother Austin had sent her here in person, so this trip must be meaningful.

Or, God pitied her for losing two children, so she would find another way to make up for it!

"Thomas and I are congenial. It's just a matter of a trip. You don't have to be polite!"

Thomas's eyes shuttled back and forth between the two, raising his hand to grasp his hair in confusion. It was the first time that he had seen such a situation. He really didn't know how to deal with it!

"Dad, let Auntie April have dinner tonight!"

"No way!"

Hester stopped them loudly. Sensing the strange gazes of the father and son, the atmosphere was a little awkward. She withdrew her gaze and looked around at the scenery.

Yes! The decoration was indeed luxurious. Rich people! She despised herself silently and smiled dryly.

"I mean Brother Austin is waiting for me outside, so I won't stay."
