‘God, it’s so painful. I should have known better than to drink! I always get a headache the next day when I drink too much!”
Suddenly, she shuddered. Drinking?
While rubbing her head, Lina Sweeney opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of the room. Little by little, the memory of last night came back to her mind.
Right, she remembered drinking a lot of red wine when she had a midnight snack with Hadwin Stephenson yesterday. Then… She got drunk… After that…
Little by little, the relevant memories continued to float through her mind. She seemed to have gotten in the car with Hadwin Stephenson. Then in the car, she kept touching him all the time!
She vaguely remembered saying something, but she could not think of anything!
In the end, Lina Sweeney had to give up and stop thinking about it.
She could only pray that the words she could not remember were not curses against Hadwin Stephenson. Otherwise, with the way he held grudges, he would think of a way to take revenge on her.
Lina Sweeney got up and changed her clothes. As soon as she went out of the room, she bumped into her parents.
“Why were you drinking last night? If you hadn’t been with Tingxin and if he hadn’t sent you back last night, what if you were so drunk that you met someone bad?” As soon as Mrs.
Sweeney saw her daughter, she could not help criticizing her.
“Tingxin told you to drink less, but you drank more. It’s inappropriate for a girl to drink so much alcohol!” Mr. Sweeney also joined the criticizing army.
Lina Sweeney could only keep nodding like a chicken pecking rice. She looked humbly apologetic but was complaining in her heart that it was the Tingxin they were talking about who made her drink!
It was a pity that her parents adored Hadwin Stephenson.
They believed him very much. Every time Hadwin Stephenson.
came to her home, her parents were so pa**ionate that it made her question who was their child.
Lina Sweeney was a little afraid to imagine what would happen if she broke up with Hadwin Stephenson in the future. Would it be too big of a blow to her parents?
After escaping to the bathroom, Lina Sweeney looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a mess, her skin was pretty good and was considered fair, but her features were ordinary. She belonged to the type of person who was comely but not exactly beautiful.
She had never dated anyone. Although her relationship with Hadwin Stephenson was a little baffling, it was also considered… Her first time.
Come to think of it, if she really dated again, she would probably never meet such a good-looking man like Hadwin Stephenson. If only her relationship with Hadwin Stephenson was true and not false…
Immediately, she burst out laughing and secretly scolded herself. What was she thinking? She and Hadwin Stephenson were destined to break up!
They got into this relationship not because they were in love with each other!
Lina Sweeney sighed, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. For her, their relationship was nothing more than an ‘atonement.
However, she did not know that last night in the car, there was a man gently caressing her face while she was in a drunken stupor. With the most gentle voice, he had whispered, “Then, you should like me well. You must like me very much, Lina,”
It was joyful anticipation!
“What? Brian won’t see me?” Evelyn’s voice sounded out of tune.
“Yes. Mr. Hart says he doesn’t want to see Miss Cummins today, so please return, Miss Cummins,” said the secretary.
Evelyn gritted her teeth. How many times has it been? All this time, she had been trying to see him, but she was always turned down.
From his private mansion to his office…
In a place like the entertainment industry, any straw in the wind would be extremely exaggerated by outsiders.
Brian and her had not made any public appearances during this time, and there were a lot of speculations on set as to whether she was dumped.
Therefore, she urgently needed to appear in public with Brian to dispel those rumors.
However… She could not even meet Brian.
“Can’t you help me out again, Secretary Zhang? I want to see him,” Evelyn said humbly.
“I really can’t. Mr. Hart has already said that he won’t see you, so he won’t,” the secretary said that as if there was no room.
for change.
Evelyn could even see a faint flicker of mockery in his eyes and some sort of pity as if he was better than her.
Did Secretary Zhang a**ume that Brian would dump her and that she would become her former self again? Evelyn thought to herself darkly, but for the moment, it would be a disgrace to stay here any longer.
Evelyn could only leave first. Then, she found a parking space near the building’s car park. She parked her car there and planned to wait for Brian.
She asked for a day off from the set just to meet Brian today.
What she did not expect was that just a moment later, Brian’s car appeared. Evelyn had to hurry to keep up.
However, to Evelyn’s surprise, Brian drove for more than 20 minutes with no intention of stopping. He was headed toward the freeway.
Where… Was he going?
Puzzled, Evelyn drove for more than an hour until they finally stopped near a hill.
Evelyn had to park as far away as possible for fear of being noticed by Brian.
She realized that the town they were in was Grace’s grandmother’s town. As a child, she had come here twice with her father.
Was Brian here to… Evelyn suddenly had a bad feeling.
Now, she could only see Brian standing still in front of the from a distance.
Was there anything special… With this hill? Evelyn crept a little nearer but suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, for she had already recognized the hill as the one she saw in the painting in Brian’s studio.
It was the painting of the little girl carrying the little boy on her back while trudging down the hill. The two children appeared to be dependent and relied on each other…
Now, standing in front of the hill, was Brian thinking about… Grace? Evelyn’s hands were tightly clenched into fists, her manicured nails prickling her palms! Her face, that had exquisite makeup on, began to twist.
Grace helped to clean up the small restaurant. Recently, as Mrs. Corbyn was hospitalized, Kyla Corbyn had to take care of Nelson by herself, so Grace offered to clean up when they closed for the day.
As a result, she had to leave work a little later than usual.
When she got out of the restaurant, she suddenly stopped after a few steps and looked at the figure in front of her in shock.
It was… Brian!
He wore a white shirt against beige trousers, making him.
look a little casual and relaxed. His black hair was a little disheveled. The cold moonlight fell on him and half-dimmed. his delicate features.
Only now, she felt he was a little different from usual. He was looking at her, his black eyes without the indifferent gaze he normally gave. Instead, it was misty.
The way he looked at her made Grace feel uncomfortable. It was as if he was looking at something through her.
As Brian walked up to her step by step, Grace felt a rush of alcohol in her face.
“Have you been drinking?” she asked subconsciously.
“Yes, a little,” he said with a chuckle, his eyes focusing on her more.
Grace pressed her lips slightly. “It’s getting late. I’ve got to go home. Goodbye.” As she spoke, she lifted her feet, intending to leave.
It was only when she had taken a step that his hand suddenly seized her arm and pulled her into his arms.
Suddenly, she fell into a wide embrace. The pungent smell of alcohol was far worse than what she had smelled when she stood apart from him.
