Win Her Back

Chapter 697 True Heart

Hester couldn't help laughing when she saw the look on Austin's face. She lowered her eyes to avoid his teasing eyes, and her cheeks were a little hot.

She just comforted herself by saying that. But when it came to another person, she felt herself a little narrow-minded.

"The food is getting cold. Let's eat!"

After dinner, Hester raised her head and glanced at the time. Thinking that she hadn't gone out for a long time, she wanted to go out for a walk. Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, she felt a little guilty.

"Brother Austin, let me wash them!"

"I'll do it. If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk!"

Without raising his head, Austin went on with his work. He turned his head to look at Hester, with some affection unconsciously.

"Of course, if you feel guilty, you might as well pay attention to the case in the hospital."

Hester rolled her eyes. Why could Brother Austin easily expose her thought every time? Although he didn't have any super ability, he could figure it out.

She had tried many times to ask this question, but she was stopped by Austin's simple words.

"What's wrong?"

Putting the bowls and plates back, Austin wiped his palms and turned around. He saw Hester standing aside, lost in thought.

"I feel my privacy has been violated. If Mr. Austin can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will take legal means to protect my rights!"

Hester said seriously, putting on a serious look like a lawyer. As the saying goes, "There is nothing difficult in the world but someone with a heart." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

As long as she was willing to work hard, she would find some clues.

Putting his hand between his eyebrows, Austin felt helpless. He passed Hester, sat on the sofa, raised his hand and pressed a button, staring at the screen.

She had asked this question many times before, and he patiently explained it to her. However, she never took it to heart, which made him very headache.

"Of course because I care about you, I spent some time on you!"

"No way!"

Hester firmly refuted his words and looked at him seriously. If this method was feasible, then why couldn't she accurately guess other people's minds no matter how much effort she had put on them?

"Brother Austin, can you stop fooling me with words that only kids believe?"

Austin put down the remote control and turned around. He looked at Hester firmly, holding her hand on his chest.

"Because I have you in my heart, I remember every move of you clearly. After a long time, I can naturally guess what you are thinking."

'Just like what you did before, even if Terence didn't tell you, you still know his preferences and cook according to his taste.'

Of course, this sentence was silently added in his heart. He didn't want to mention her sadness for such a simple reason.

Being confessed with deep affection, Hester panicked. She looked around in a daze to avoid Austin's eyes.

"Well, I'm going out for a walk!"

After saying that, she left in a hurry. Hester covered her chest and walked slowly in the park of the community.

"No way! Hester, you can't be like this! Now that you have made up your mind to be with Brother Austin, you can't think too much."

Just now, she didn't feel her heart beating, but she felt depressed. Austin's kindness to her was like a mountain, almost crushing her.

She had put all her attention on Terence before, and it was her fault that she was too stupid to find it out in time. But now, she knew what he was thinking, so she couldn't play dumb anymore.

"Hester!"

When she heard someone call her name, she looked up in confusion and saw Yam slowly walking over. Hester frowned slightly and subconsciously wanted to escape.

These people were more or less related to her and Terence, and she didn't want to have too much contact with them. But she didn't know why Yam was so close to her over and over again.

"I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you didn't want to see me and move out!"

With a smile, Yam fixed her eyes on Hester. Her face without any make-up was more attractive than before.

Nodding to avoid her touch, Hester turned around and casually sat on a chair beside. She looked up at the stars in the sky.

"No. I'm just busy these days, so I seldom go out!"

Yam was smart enough to notice her resistance to her. However, she was no longer the noble lady of the Ning family, so she didn't take these illusory things seriously.

She held Hester's hand and looked at her earnestly.

"I know you are still blaming me for what I have done before, and I also know clearly that you don't want to see me! But now I have realized my fault. Can you forgive me?"

Hester frowned impatiently. She had heard it more than a hundred times today. Although Yam was not tired, she was tired of listening to her.

"Yam, I forgive you for what happened in the past. Why are you so obsessed with the past?

I admit that I treat you coldly, but have you ever seen two rivals in love become good friends? I don't know what your purpose is, nor do I want to guess. So, you'd better give up as soon as possible!"

"Hester, why don't you want to see the truth?"

Yam's eyes were full of water, and when she looked at you, her eyes flashed with water, as if tears would fall the next moment.

"I have no one to rely on now. Since my father's accident, all my relatives don't like me and refuse to help me.

I really want to make a friend. Can you help me when I'm in trouble? Even if you spare time to listen to me about the grievances in my heart!"

With a slight sigh, Hester looked down at the ground. After thinking for a moment, she slowly opened her mouth.

"Yam, I've been in trouble before, and I can understand your feelings by putting myself in your position. But I'm no longer the ignorant Hester.

My name is Sakura. I'm a lawyer. I have experienced much more intrigues than you. If I really forget the past and become friends with you, don't you think I'm doing you harm?

Or, do you think I get close to you because I want to get something from you?"

"Hester, I really want to be your friend."
