Hadwin Stephenson thought to himself. Just from her expression, he could tell that she was lying. There were many. women chasing him around even before he became the patriarch of the Stephenson family, more women were looking. for opportunities to approach him.

He allowed her to approach him, but she always muddled through it!

“If you miss me, why don’t you save my pictures on your phone?” he asked as he raised his eyebrows.

“I’m afraid your photos will only make me miss you more,” she replied smoothly.

She almost pissed him off. This little liar was even perfunctory.

in making an excuse.

She had a look on her face that said, ‘Give me back my phone’. It made Hadwin Stephenson so angry that he just tossed the phone back to Lina Sweeney.

When Lina Sweeney got her phone back, she began to eat her midnight snack in peace.

Speaking of which, one of the advantages of dating Hadwin Stephenson was that she could eat a lot of things that shet could not eat before.

Just then, Hadwin Stephenson’s voice suddenly rang in her ear again. “Speaking of which, we’re already boyfriend and girlfriend, but why do you seem reluctant to be intimate with me? Didn’t you say you think of me every day? Or am I not as charming as Howell Webb?”

Lina Sweeney almost choked on the food in her mouth. She managed to swallow the food in her mouth and looked up into Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes. His eyes were staring deeply at her now as if he wanted to see through her.

“Well…” She bit her lip and managed to come up with a reason. “Because sometimes… You look a little too indifferent, just like… Uh, a lotus. Yes, a lotus can only be appreciated and not messed around with, so… I… I don’t dare to do anything.

intimate with you.”

As she spoke, she felt a pang of guilt as she thought of their intimate moment back then. Look at what she had gotten herself into because of it! Even if she had some funny ideas, she did not dare to act on them!

‘Bah! What funny ideas?’ Lina Sweeney quickly told herself that she did not want to get into any more trouble with him.

“Why don’t you just do it anyway?” he asked, amused.

She was shocked. If she knew that her mistakes in the past would result in this, she would not have gotten drunk even if she would be killed. “I was drunk. As you know, I’m not a very good drinker. I get drunk easily, and when I’m drunk, I don’t have much control over my behavior. I… I didn’t mean it…”

Her voice got softer and softer while his eyes grew colder and colder. He was giving her a strange sense of dread. Even her saliva was now stuck in her throat.

“That’s true. If you had meant it, you wouldn’t have left the next day without saying goodbye,” he said.

She felt as if she had been struck again,

He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a bottle of wine. Then, he opened it and offered her a gla**.

She blinked and looked at the wine in front of her. Surely, he was not…

“Yes,” he said lightly.

“I get drunk easily. If I’m drunk, I’ll act out and things will get messy again,” she said with an embarra**ed look.

“Then I’d like to see how out of control you’ll be. Don’t worry, if you’re really drunk this time, I’ll allow you to mess around with me and not hold you accountable,” he said.

Boom!

Her face went red instantly. Did the man know what he was talking about? He was simply seducing her with his words!

Hadwin Stephenson paid no more attention to Lina Sweeney. He poured himself another gla** of wine and drank it.

Perhaps the only way to quell his anger was to drink and tell himself not to care too much about this heartless woman!

Lina Sweeney got drunk anyway. She drank the first gla**

under Hadwin Stephenson’s semi-threat. As soon as she drank it, she found the bottle of red wine delicious and drank gla** after gla**. By the time she found out that she had a little too much to drink, she was already a little drunk.

“What time… Is it? I… I should go back…” Lina Sweeney staggered to her feet. If she did not go back, her parents would lecture her again.

“A little over ten o ‘clock. I’ll take you back.” Hadwin.

Stephenson held Lina Sweeney and looked at her drunken.

appearance. It reminded him of how drunk she was back.

then.

“If… If I don’t behave myself and offend you later, you… You can just throw me out of the car…” she muttered tongue-tied, unable to speak clearly. Her eyes were now misty.

He glanced at her but said nothing. He led her out of the restaurant. The Stephenson family’s driver was already waiting outside the restaurant.

Hadwin Stephenson helped Lina Sweeney into the car and said to the driver, “To Miss Sweeney’s house.”

The driver drove the car slowly. Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina Sweeney who was leaning against him and sitting sideways on his side. Now, her…

Now, her cheeks were red while her eyes were half-squinted. Her head rested on his shoulder, and the car seemed to smell of alcohol.

She was drunk, but he was still sober.

Sometimes he wished he could get drunk as easily as she could. Maybe he would not think so much when he was drunk.

Suddenly, his body froze because a hand began to touch his chest slowly.

The woman was still restless when she was drunk.

“Do you know what you’re doing, Lina Sweeney?” asked Hadwin Stephenson. However, as soon as he said it, he laughed at himself again. Why was he asking questions to at drunk woman? She probably did not even know what he was asking.

However, she replied, “Yes, I… I’m touching you…”

Great, she was aware. He sneered. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll wake up and regret it?”

However, he was only talking about it. He was a little reluctant to pull the hand away from his chest.

This time, she ignored him and went on, muttering something.

After a while, she lifted her head slightly, trying to straighten herself up. “Hadwin Stephenson, I… I’ll tell you a secret…”

He raised his eyebrows. Secret? What secret could she have when she was drunk?

“Get… Get closer… Secrets are to be told in the ear…” she stammered as her two eyebrows knitted together as if she was dissatisfied with the distance between them.

He pursed his lips as he looked at her deeply, then he leaned.

forward to bring his ears close to her lips. The combination of alcohol and her scent smelled good to him.

He had always hated women who smelled of alcohol and thought it smelled bad, but she seemed to be an exception.

That was then and it still was.

Her lips accidentally touched his earlobe, causing him to tremble a little. He heard her mumbling, “Actually… I think you have a better figure… Than… Than Howell Webb… He… He’s no match for you…”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heartbeat seemed to have suddenly become rapid and loud. Besides her voice in his ear, he could hear the beating of his heart.

“Besides…Hadwin… I… I like you, I really do…” She went on, and at the end of her sentence, she gave him a silly smile.

He fell into a trance as he saw her silly smile. There were too many women with a more flirtatious and lovelier smile than hers, but he seemed to be mesmerized by her idiotic silly smile.

Then, his heart beat like a drum!

Lina Sweeney woke up the next morning with nothing but pain.

in her head.
