Chapter 691 Unnecessary People


    Hester was lying on the bed, holding Thomas in her arms, staring nkly at the ceiling. Thinking about


    it carefully, she liked children only because of the two children she had lost.


    Speaking of taking care of a child, she seemed to have no experience. Just like now, the two of them


    could only look at the ceiling, not knowing what to say.


    "Thomas, why do you like me so much?"


    After thinking for a while, Hester spoke first. ''He is an innocent child. Why does he look so heavy every


    day?'' she thought to herself.


    Why did he treat her differently?


    With eyeballs dripping in his eyes, Thomas'' tiny brain was quickly running and carefully thinking of a


    countermeasure. There must be a reason why his mother didn''t allow him to be with her. He had to


    think it over!


    "Maybe you look like my mother!"


    Hester was stunned and speechless. She didn''t think she was as beautiful as Melody. How could she


    look like her?


    It seemed that Thomas was a poor child. He had lost his mother''s love since he was a child, and he


    was even a little confused!


    "No wonder! It turns out that you think I look like your mother, so you have been relying on me all the


    time?"


    "p!" A loud noise interrupted the conversation between the two. Hester frowned and hurriedly stood


    up from the bed. When she opened the door, she saw Austin standing there in a daze, with a broken


    bowl under his feet.


    "Brother Austin, what''s wrong with you?"


    Hester had never seen Austin like this. She was frightened. She held his arm and shook it slightly. Her


    voice trembled involuntarily.


    Getting rid of the sadness, Austin narrowed his eyes and hid the sadness. He shook his head slightly.


    He was afraid that Thomas would tell the truth and break the beautiful dream he had personally made


    in advance.


    "It''s okay. My hand is just slippery! Dinner is ready. Get up and eat!"


    Then he turned around and left. Austin hated himself very much now. It was he who made a mistake,


    but he still dragged them to apany him in pain.


    But once things started, he could only focus on going forward. No matter what difficulties he would face


    ahead, he had to go on.


    Looking at Austin''s receding figure, Hester frowned. Her hands were empty, but she seemed to lose the


    ability to speak. She stared at him nkly, choked.


    "Auntie April, what''s wrong with Uncle Austin?"


    Holding Hester''s hand timidly, Thomas was confused, but also afraid. He didn''t know what the world of


    adults was like, but he could feel the joy, anger and sorrow from them.


    He was young, and even though his IQ was good, he could never make up for theck of experience.


    Therefore, he couldn''t understand thempletely, which also made him more hesitant and at a loss.


    "What?"


    Hester came to her senses. Just now, she had an illusion that Austin was getting farther and farther


    away from her. No matter how hard she tried, there was no way to retrieve it.


    Her eyes twinkled with love, and she restrained her mind. She squatted down and patted Thomas''


    head, smiling.


    "Brother Austin just slipped his hand. Thomas, don''t be afraid! Aren''t you hungry? Let''s go downstairs


    for dinner now!"


    As soon as the three sat at the table, the doorbell rang. Hester looked at Austin, who was obviously


    absent-minded, and sighed.


    "Thomas, you eat first. I''ll open the door!"


    Thomas nodded obediently. As an obedient child, he had to listen to his mother. With a spoon in his


    hand, he ate porridge elegantly, but his eyes involuntarily floated to Austin beside.


    Opening the door, Hester looked at the person at the door. The smile at the corners of her mouth


    gradually disappeared with a faint alienation. She nodded slightly, showing nock of etiquette.


    "Mr. Terence!"


    Terence nodded calmly and tightened his hand quietly. She took a deep breath and told herself to calm


    down and not to be impulsive.


    "It''s gettingte. I''m here to pick up Thomas!"


    "Thomas just woke up. He is hungry now! How about waiting for him to finish eating?"


    Frowning in embarrassment, Hester looked back at Thomas, who was obediently eating porridge, and


    felt sorry for him. How could she bear to see him sad?


    "Mr. Terence, if you don''t mind, you can have some here."

    Somehow, Austin had recovered as usual. With a warm smile on his face, he approached Hester. His


    eyes were so scorching that no one could see the meaning behind them.


    "Ah! Yes! It''s better toe early than coincidentally. Since Mr. Terence is here, don''t mind. Come in


    and have dinner with us!"


    Hester looked at Austin with confusion. ''Brother Austin doesn''t like Terence very much. Why is he so


    friendly today?''


    Although confused, for the sake of Thomas, she decided to let him have dinner with them.


    Terence''s eyes twinkled and fell on Hester, but her eyes were fixed on Austin, which made him very


    dejected.


    "Since the two of you invited me sincerely, I''d better ept your invitation."


    The awkward and weird scene of that night reappeared. A group of four sat at the table. Although the


    scene was weird, it was full of a strange sense of warmth.


    Hester lowered her head and grabbed the rice in her bowl, sighing with emotion. It seemed that she


    hadn''t had a good meal since she came back.


    There were always too many familiar people. She didn''t want to make friends with them, but she had to


    sit down under all kinds of circumstances.


    There was a piece of fish in the bowl. Following the direction of the owner of the chopsticks, she saw a


    warm smile on Austin''s face.


    "It''s light stewed and easy to digest. Have some!"


    Austin said in a soft andfortable voice. Three years ago, when she woke up, she didn''t eat or


    drink, which hurt her stomach. As a result, many of her favorite food could only be given up.


    In the past three years, he had been taking good care of her ording to the traditional Chinese


    medicine, so that she wouldn''t have a stomachache when she asionally forgot to eat or sleep.


    Terence frowned and fixed his eyes on Hester. It was difficult to tell what it meant.


    "Is there anything wrong with Miss Hester''s stomach?"


    "Oh! When I was busy with cases before, I often forgot to eat and got stomach illness. But fortunately,


    Brother Austin has taken good care of me in the past two years, and I have almost recovered."


    Hester took the lead in speaking. She said it lightly, as if she was talking about something else.


    "It''s just because she ruined her body for unnecessary people."
