The spade in Austin's hand shook and almost fell to the ground. His heart trembled and he quickly collected his thoughts. The perfect spoon filled the plate.
He turned around with slight smile on his face.
"I saw you were busy just now, so I didn't talk to you." "Dinner is ready. Wash your hands!"
Hester smiled sweetly with empty belly. As long as Brother Austin was there, she would never worry about eating. What a home wrecker!
In contrast, she suddenly felt that her skill was really not enough in front of Austin!
Putting the dishes on the table, Austin untied the belt and took off the apron. When he turned around, he saw Hester standing behind him with a tangled face. He could not help but sigh.
He raised his hand and gently knocked on her forehead, pulling back her wandering thoughts and raising the corners of his mouth.
"What are you thinking about? Go and wake up Thomas. Lisa will come to pick him up after dinner!"
"Okay!"
When Hester came to her senses, she covered her forehead and nodded silently. Lisa was really efficient. She turned around, rushed into the study, pulled Thomas up from his sleep, washed his hands, and carried him to the table.
"Hurry up. Lisa will pick you up later."
With tearful eyes, Thomas accused her. Was she in a hurry to send him away because he was disliked?
"Auntie April, did I do something wrong?"
Hester frowned and threw a few tissues at Thomas. She used to think that this child was obedient and sensible, but this afternoon's getting along with him really broadened her eyes.
He cried so often. And when he looked at her, she always felt as if she owed him a lot.
"Brother Austin, the soup is a little salty today."
The corners of Austin's mouth twitched violently. He looked up at Thomas, confused. With her care for Thomas in usual, how could she make him cry like this?
"Hester, will he be fine?"
With a wave of her hand, Hester grabbed the rice without raising her head. She steadily picked up a piece of fish and put it in the bowl in front of Thomas before speaking lazily.
"He is just a kid! It's normal for him to cry. Brother Austin, don't worry! After he finishes his meal, you send him out. I still have some documents to read!"
Austin raised his eyebrows and glanced at Thomas helplessly. He had never known how to face the matter between them.
Thomas had the same eyebrows as hers, so he was at a loss for no reason. This was what he wanted to see most, but at this point, he would feel very sad.
Hester didn't know the truth, so she didn't care. But he knew that if he did nothing, he would feel guilty.
"Well, it's not good for his health to cry for too long. Hester, don't follow him like this. Thomas is still growing up. It's not good for him to cry so much."
Hester would naturally take the advice of experts seriously. She put down the chopsticks in a hurry and held Thomas in her arms, coaxing him softly.
