Win Her Back

Chapter 673 Don't Suppress Yourself

The smile on her face froze, and Hester's back unconsciously stiffened. She turned her head and looked firmly at Jackson, who was not hypocritical.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at Hester's serious look, Jackson was amused. He easily took her into his arms, stroking her head with his palm, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

"I was just kidding! Don't be silly. I wouldn't be so humble and ask for other's love."

Hester's eyes twinkled to avoid his eager eyes, and an embarrassed smile played at the corners of her mouth.

"This joke is not funny at all. Don't do it again."

Jackson leaned forward and drew the distance between the two closer. The heat of his breath directly fell on her face, burning.

'If I didn't know your scruples, why would I lie?'

"I know you are out of your mind. It's not bad to see you panic from time to time. After all, you are different now. You will see less and less this kind of scenes!"

Blushing, Hester stood still, staring at his back with unspeakable bitterness in her heart. She put her hand on her heart.

She didn't know why she felt heartbroken every time she saw that Jackson acted as if nothing had happened. Maybe the two of them had similar experiences, so they were destined to feel the same way!

"I'm sorry!"

Jackson's back was slightly stiff, and the happy steps under his feet were smooth without any change.

In a daze, Terence and Thomas also slowly walked to the door. Hester looked displeased and raised her head to tuck the short hair around her ear awkwardly.

"It's my fault this time. I will stay away from Thomas in the future."

Hearing that his mother was going to stay away from him, Thomas' tears fell at the moment, as if they were broken beads.

"Mom, do you want to abandon me? Did I do something wrong to piss you off? Tell me, I will change!"

Looking at the crying Thomas in panic, Hester was not at ease. She frowned and was confused.

"It's not your fault. It's all my fault! If I hadn't taken you to the amusement park, you wouldn't have been kidnapped and experienced such a terrible thing.

It's all my fault. In order to avoid similar things happening in the future, I think we'd better keep a distance from each other!"

Thomas' dark and bright eyes were slightly red. He stared at Hester with watery eyes, unmoved. In his opinion, this was the sign that his mother would abandon him again.

He had been waiting for her for so long, but he hadn't called her mother yet. Would they be separated again?

Holding Hester's sleeve tightly, Thomas cried even more sadly. He didn't want his mother to leave again!

"I don't care. I don't want my mother to leave! I don't want it!"

Hester frowned. Her heart was almost torn apart when she heard Thomas' heart-wrenching cry. She patted him on the back and coaxed him in a low voice.

"Thomas, be good! I won't leave. It's just that we can't meet outside in the future. If Thomas misses me one day, just call me and I'll come to you, okay?"

At least, Thomas' violent mood slowly returned to peace. He lay on Terence's shoulder, but his hand was still tightly grasping Hester's sleeve.

Too many things had happened in the past two days, not to mention that he was only a three-year-old child. After making trouble for a while, he fell asleep.

In order to coax the child, Terence and Hester stood still, waiting for Thomas to let go of her sleeve.

"It's finally done."

Hester moved her stiff neck and slowly exhaled a mouthful of air. Since she lost two children in a row, she was always very patient with children.

She was afraid that her movements would alert the child, so she stood in the same position for half an hour.

"Tired?"

Terence was lost in thought. His eyes were fixed on her face, unwilling to miss any subtle expression.

The way she exhaled just now was obviously a sign of rejoicing. Was she tired of Thomas?

Carefully pulling out her sleeve from the pair of small hands, Hester looked up at the pair of inquiring black eyes and forgot to react for a moment.

"I can see that you are very tired!"

With a touch of sadness in his eyes, Terence sighed dejectedly. Yes, she had been willing to leave Thomas when he was just born. In this situation, she would probably leave without hesitation!

Thinking of this possibility, he raised his lips with self-mockery and felt extremely stupid!

He was not a young girl of seventeen or eight years old. How could he be so afraid of losing? It was so ridiculous!

"Thomas has been diagnosed with slight autism since he was a child, so he is much quieter than other children. Maybe he was frightened by what happened this time, so he made such a fuss. Please don't mind! Miss April!"

Hester staggered and looked at Terence in disbelief.

"He is just a kid! I have something else to do, so I have to leave now."

Hester fled that suffocating place awkwardly and covered the corner of her mouth with her hand. She despised herself very much in her heart. She found a place to sit down, held her knees tightly and buried her head in it.

'Hester, what are you doing now? He didn't care about you three years ago. Weren't you used to it? Why do you look so desperate now? He won't change his attitude towards you because of this!' she thought to herself.

"I don't know who this beautiful lady is angry with, but I don't think it's a good idea to do so."

The sudden voice made Hester stop what she was doing and quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face. She didn't want others to see her in such a state. It was so humiliating.

"I'm not mad at anyone!"

Hester stared at Jackson angrily, feeling extremely unhappy. Although this person had always been frivolous, no one wanted to be taken as a joke about this kind of thing.

"I was just too scared. I'm fine now. I'm afraid when I think of it, so I cried." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Jackson sighed, held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

"I know you cried because you were scared, so you don't have to suppress yourself!"
