Chapter 771 I Want His Custody
Chapter 771 I Want His Custody
In the morning, Hester was reading at home. The breeze ruffled her hair.
Leo went upstairs and knocked on her door.
Hester opened the door and looked up at him. Seeing his heavy expression, her heart jolted.
"Leo? You don't look good. What's wrong?"
After entering the door for a while, Leo said, "There is indeed something wrong with Terence's son."
He told Hester what he had found out and Hester's face was pale. After a while, she covered her chest and slowly squatted down.
Thomas...
He was the son of her and Terence. She had thought that he was no longer a child in this world.
She cruelly erased this part of memory from her mind, but the maternal nature in her heart could not be erased.
"Hester, what's wrong with you?" Leo looked at her anxiously and patted her back gently.
Hester touched her face and found that it was cold with tears pouring down.
"I want to see him." Hester suddenly stood up. She looked firm and even wanted to go out in her slippers.
Leo grabbed her wrist and said, "Hester! Are you going to see Terence? How can you forgive him for what he has done to you?"
Hester stopped and lowered her head slightly.
Her mind was in a mess. On the one hand, Terence was heartless to her; on the other hand, Thomas was her son, her flesh and blood
"No..." Hester slowly pulled her hand out of Leo's. She shook her head and said, "No... He is my son. I can't... I can't leave him alone."
"Can you forget all the hurt he brought to you?" Leo asked her.
Hester shook her head, "I will never forget those things all my life."
She clenched her fists and continued, "But I can't abandon my son, Leo. I used to think he was the son of Terence and Melody. I hate these two people to the core, but when I first saw Thomas, I still couldn't hate him."
"Can you believe me? This might be the connection between mother and son? The first time I saw him, I felt that I liked him and wanted to hug him..."
Tears streamed down Hester's face as she spoke.
She didn't understand why god always gave her so many hardships and setbacks.
What she wanted was always to stay away from her, while what she abandoned was to follow her.
Hester broke free from Leo's hand and ran out of the mansion quickly.
She called for a car and went straight to her destination.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Terence was busy in the company.
As soon as James came back from abroad, he was busy with the company affairs. He knocked on the door of the CEO office with a large pile of documents in his hands and put them on Terence's desk.
"This is the financial department's statement for this quarter, which needs your signature. And the budget of the project department for the next quarter also needs your approval. You have an appointment with president Li of X bank for lunch and will attend a ribbon cutting ceremony this afternoon." After saying that, he frowned and said, "I have to make up for the work I left some time ago. So I can only help you keep the schedule tight."
Terence nodded coldly.
Hester regarded him as an enemy, so he didn't know what else to do except for work.
Thinking of her heartless face, Terence felt as if his heart was gripped by a huge hand.
He pursed his lips and picked up the thick financial statements on the table. As soon as he turned a few pages, his phone on the table vibrated incessantly.
He picked it up, his pupils slowly dilated, looking extremely surprised.
Looking at him, James raised his eyebrows.
"She's here? Now? At home?" Terence gripped the phone with one hand, and his slender knuckles turned white because of his strength.
"Okay, let her in. I'll be right back."
As Terence spoke, his hands trembled with excitement.
He stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by James.
Terence took a deep breath and said to him, "Cancel all the schedules today. After that, I will read the company's documents tonight." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Then he grabbed his phone and car key and rushed out of the office.
It was the first time that Terence became anxious in the company. He trotted into the underground garage and didn't even have time to call the driver.
On the way home, he held the steering wheel with both hands, and his heart was rolling!
She was here! She came to him!
He knew that Hester would not be so ruthless to him!
Terence drove back to his villa at the fastest speed. But when he saw the carved black iron gate getting closer, a sense of timidity rose in his heart.
Would she really forgive him?
Or she just came to see her son?
Terence bit his lips, trying hard to restrain his excitement, and walked into his villa step by step.
At this time, Hester, with Hester in her arms, looked up at him as if she was aware of something.
The two of them, one was inside the door, and the other was outside. Their four eyes met, as if they had crossed their lives.
"Hester..."
Terence called her name softly, as if he was afraid that his voice would frighten her away.
"I... I'm here to see Thomas today."
Hester was the opposite of Terence, and her voice was cold and calm. She wanted to keep a distance from Terence from inside to outside.
Terence didn't dare to stimulate her. It took him a long time to restrain the heat in his heart. He clenched his fists, put them at his lips, and cleared his throat. He said, "Thomas has always been missing you. If you have time, come to see him more often."
Then he raised his voice and ordered, "Lisa, go and prepare lunch."
After that, he looked at Hester and said, "Today, our family of three..."
Facing Hester's sharp gaze, he had to swallow the words back and said gently, "Stay for lunch. Look, Thomas also wants you to stay."
Hester looked down at her son. His beautiful eyes were particularly similar to Terence's, but with a completely different expression.
She didn't have the heart to refuse at all, so she had to nod.
"Great!"
Thomas pulled her sleeve and looked back at Terence.
The three of them had lunch together. Hester's eyes were fixed on Thomas, and she didn't give a single glance to Terence.
Terence smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had to accept it.
He had done so many things to hurt her. Now he was satisfied that he could have lunch with her at the same table with their son.
After lunch, Hester was still with Thomas. He was her son, whom she had lost and found, so she didn't want to let him go again.
She pursed her lips and looked up at Terence, "Mr. Terence, Thomas is my son. I want to take back his custody."
