Win Her Back novel Chapter 2

Dumbfounded, Hester stood outside the door, wondering what she did wrong. Why did Terence hate her so much? She was his fiancee!

Hester slowly sank into the floor and curled up into a ball. It felt as if she was falling into a bottomless abyss.

This was the first time she felt so helpless and scared.

At that moment, she remembered what Mrs. Qi told her on her death bed.

"Hester... I will be leaving soon. You have to take good care of Terence for me. He will soon be your husband, the one who will always protect you and cherish you. You must hold him tightly, never let him go.

He is not good at expressing himself. His words mean no harm, but I know that you are smart enough to not be confused by what you see on the surface. Believe me, dear. You love him, and he loves you too. You two will be together forever, but... I'm afraid I won't be there when you two wed.

Promise me something, okay? Please, don't give up... "

Mrs. Qi held Hester's hand tightly, and then closed her eyes slowly, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

It was the last thing Mrs. Qi ever said to her. 'Don't give up!' These words rang over and over in Hester's head.

She took a deep breath and gathered up all her courage, her fists clenching with determination.

Mrs. Qi was right. Hester remembered Terence's promise to her when they were still kids. She believed that Terence still loved her, and would keep his promise. Although she hadn't seen him for many years, Hester had firmly believed that his original intentions did not change despite the fact that he had changed so much.

'It is highly possible that he still loves me. It just so happens that Mrs. Qi has only passed away recently. Perhaps he's still just unable to agree to such a hasty marriage.' With all this in mind, Hester was determined that she would try her best to be a good wife!

Hours later, the sun had completely set, and the moon was high in the sky. Finally, the door to Terence's bedroom opened. Hester had already prepared dinner for Terence, worrying that if he doesn't eat a thing, he would have a stomachache.

She was waiting by the door with a tray of food, a wide smile on her face. However, much to her surprise, the beautiful woman was the one who emerged from the door.

She was wearing a silk pajama. Her collar was open, and her voluptuous body made Hester blush.

She looked down and avoided the eye contact. But when she caught a glimpse of her own breasts, she felt dismayed.

It was obvious. Her body was nothing compared to the beautiful woman's. 'Does Terence ever be fond of such a woman?'

As Hester kept her head down, the charming woman had come to her side. She raised her head and cast a sidelong glance at Hester.

"I don't care who you are. I'm going to marry Terence. I hope you leave as soon as you can. Please do everyone a favor. Nobody wants you here,"

the woman, Yam Ning, said as she raised her eyebrows at Hester.

"Just now, Terence told me that his mother arranged for you and Terence to get married. Is that right? Well, Mrs. Qi is dead, and clearly doesn't know any better. How could she leave you to torture Terence? I really doubt that she didn't love her son at all because of what she did."

These words completely provoked Hester.

In Hester's mind, Mrs. Qi was the most tender and amiable mother in the world. Because of her illness, she became deaf, and was soon despised by everyone around her. But Mrs. Qi never treated Hester in an ill manner. And, because of his mother, Terence also learned to love Hester.

Unfortunately, when Hester moved away, she couldn't meet Mrs. Qi frequently. Nevertheless, Mrs. Qi still cared about her, and chatted with her as often as she could. When Mrs. Qi was about to pass away from her illness, she was worried that Hester would be left all alone with no one else to look after her. That was why she wanted Hester to marry Terence.

For Hester, Mrs. Qi was the best person in the world, and she couldn't allow others to slander her!

At that moment, Hester couldn't help but feel that Yam Ning was barking up the wrong tree. She glared at Yam and said angrily, "How could you say that? Apologize to Mrs. Qi now!"

"Apologize? Why I need to apologize to a dead person?" Yam said with a mocking smile. Then she looked at Hester's angry face and snorted, "Your voice is really coarse. Is there something wrong with your vocal cords? I bet you can't hear yourself talking. You should realize how much torture you're putting Terence through just by opening your mouth.

I think you're the one who should apologize. Not me. You are the one who should get out of here!"

"You've gone too far! You can insult me, but not Mrs. Qi! You must apologize to her!"
