However, after saying that, a look of annoyance appeared on Hadwin Stephenson’s face as if he should not have said that.
The secretary cautiously walked out of the office and closed the door.
Hadwin Stephenson’s gaze fell on the phone in his hand again. It was Lina’s phone, but it contained a lot of his photos. Some were even photos she had secretly taken while he was working just now.
Many of the photos were from five years ago when they were madly in love.
Looking at these photos, Hadwin Stephenson fell into a trance.
When Lina woke up, Hadwin Stephenson was looking at the project report his secretary gave him earlier. Lina was freezing when she suddenly felt the thin blanket on her. Then, a happy expression came over her face.
‘Hadwin must have put it over me. She had just wanted to lie down on the couch but fell asleep while looking at his photos.
‘Wait… Lina suddenly realized that her phone was not in her hand.
She suddenly got up and felt relieved when she saw the phone on the coffee table. However, she seemed to think of something and quickly picked up her phone. She opened the photo album to take a look…
Lina immediately found herself blacking out as she almost choked.
‘Where… Where are the photos of him in the photo album on my phone? Are they gone?
‘I just saw them before I fell asleep!’
Lina took her phone and quickly walked up to Hadwin Stephenson’s desk. “Did you delete the photos on my phone?”
“I just deleted my photos. Can’t I delete my own photos?” Hadwin Stephenson asked nonchalantly.
“You…” Lina’s eyes immediately reddened. “Do you know those photos are…”
Hadwin Stephenson said, “I only know those photos are photos of me. Also, I don’t want anyone to disturb me when I’m working.”
Lina froze and finally sat back on the couch silently. She was hoppy when she woke up because he had covered her with a thin blanket, but all the happiness had turned into sadness now.
Those photos were so precious to her. They were memories she had with him! What would she be left with if she did not have these memories?
Lina looked at her phone, sniffling from time to time. Her shoulders twitched as if she was suppressing her sadness and trying hard to restrain the tears that were about to pour out of her eyes.
The way she looked made Hadwin Stephenson feel that he had done something wrong. She did not cry, but he felt worse than if he were to see her in tears.
Hadwin Stephenson forced himself to look down at the document in front of him. However, all he could think about was the other person in the room.
At noon, Hadwin Stephenson did not invite Lina for lunch but went to lunch alone. When he returned to the office, Lina and the bag she was carrying today were gone.
‘Did she… go to lunch? Hadwin Stephenson speculated.
However, when Hodwin Stephenson come back after a meeting of about four, Lina’s figure was still missing from the office.
Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes glimmered a little. ‘Did she leave and will never return because I deleted those photos in the morning? That’s great if that’s true.
‘At least I’ll have some peace.
‘Didn’t I already know that? She has always been impatient. Just like when she promised to wait outside the house that night but by nine o’clock, she was all packed up and ready to leave. This time, she said she wanted a month, but perhaps she’ll back off in less than a day!”
Lina never appeared when it was time to get off work, and Hadwin Stephenson left the company.
The car drove toward the Stephenson family’s mansion. Hadwin Stephenson looked out of the window in boredom but suddenly froze when he saw a figure on the roadside by chance.
It was Lina!
She was crying. She was standing on the side of the road with. one hand wiping away the tears from her face while the other was clutching a phone.
Hadwin Stephenson suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
The driver hurriedly pulled over at the roadside. Hadwin Stephenson quickly got out of the car and came up to Lina.
“What are you doing here? Why…”
His voice suddenly stopped because she looked up at him with red eyes. Her teary eyes instantly pricked his heart.
“Boo-hoo!” Lina suddenly raised her hand and beat Hadwin Stephenson’s chest.
Hadwin Stephenson frowned and grabbed her hand. “What’s wrong with you? What on earth happened?”
Lina sobbed. “They’re gone. The photos… are gone. They’re gone… Those phone technicians said the photos have been completely erased! Do you know how important those photos are to me? How could you delete them?”
Hadwin Stephenson frowned deeper as he said coldly, “I told you. Those are photos of me. It’s up to me how I want to deat with them.”
“But those are my memories! I took those photos. They’re… They’re memories of me and the man I love the most!
Even if you don’t love me anymore, couldn’t you leave me those memories?”
Lina cried loudly and shouted as if to vent the pain suppressed in her heart.
She visited several phone repair workshops throughout the afternoon, only to be told that the deleted photos could not be recovered. In other words, they were gone forever!
Hadwin Stephenson stiffened. ‘Is she crying so much because of those photos? Do those photos of me really mean that much to her?’
Suddenly, Lina’s crying paused as she grunted in pain. There was a pained look on her face.
Hadwin Stephenson froze. “What’s come over you?”
Lina said with a gasp, “My… My stomach… hurts a little… The baby… Is there something wrong with the baby?”
Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper as her face also grew paler.
