Even if he was talking about it lightly, but his eyes told her that he would wait for her until she understood.
Fortunately… she got the meaning. She really liked him and had fallen in love with him!
“Hadwin Stephenson, what should I do? I think I’ll love you more and more,” grumbled Lina.
He was a little stunned, then he said, “If you take out the words ‘I think,’ I’ll like what you just said better.”
Lina giggled and suddenly thought of a question. “Then again, when did you fall in love with me? I don’t think we spent much time together three years ago. It can’t be because I was too good that night and made you unable to forget me, right? Then it would mean that you fell in love with my body before falling for me.”
Lina started letting her imagination run wild again.
Hadwin Stephenson almost choked on his saliva. ‘What the hell is this girl thinking?
‘She wasn’t any good at all that night. She was like a combination of a playboy and a bully… However, I didn’t resist…!
At the thought of that night, Hadwin Stephenson’s face started to flush even though he was usually always calm and calculating.
Lina widened her eyes as she looked at the blush on his cheeks. ‘God… He… He’s blushing. It’s not true, is it? Is he really blushing?’
She could not help raising her hand to touch his cheek.
He stiffened but did not stop her. He let her fingers caress his face. “What… are you doing?”
“Wow! Hadwin Stephenson, you’re blushing…” She was shocked.
He stiffened even more and turned his head away immediately. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense…” Then, she saw that even his ears were red.
Her hand spared no effort in reaching for his ears. They were indeed red and burning.
“Don’t do that,” he said, trying to pull her hand away.
“Hey, let me touch them a little more. I haven’t touched enough!” she cried out, unaware of the ambiguousness of her words.
me if be was being burned in a sea of flames. He wanted to pull her hand away, but his body seemed to love it.
‘Is this the price of falling in love with someone? There are times when my mind and body seem to be in opposition when it comes to her.
Lina was completely fascinated by Hadwin Stephenson’s increasingly red cheeks and ears. She only felt that her boyfriend was much purer and innocent than she imagined!
‘Have I found a treasure?’
“Hadwin, you’re so cute!” Lina could not resist putting her arms around Hadwin
Stephenson’s neck and kissing him hard on the face.
If they were not in the restaurant now, she would have thrown herself onto him on impulse!
Hadwin Stephenson felt that his suffering had gotten more severe!
When Lina and Hadwin Stephenson finished their meal, they paid the bill and left. However, they were surprised to see Jason at the restaurant’s entrance.
Lina was stunned, then immediately realized that the restaurant Hadwin
Stephenson took her to today was an elite restaurant in Emerald City.

When Lina and Hadwin Stephenson finished their meal, they paid the bill and left. However, they were surprised to see Jason at the restaurant’s entrance.
Lina was stunned, then immediately realized that the restaurant Hadwin Stephenson took her to today was an elite restaurant in Emerald City.
People who usually patronized here were either rich or blue-blooded.
Average people could not afford to dine here at all.
Therefore, it seemed quite normal to stumble into Jason here!
However, she was mad at Jason!
He caused Grace to be traumatized by love, yet he was doing just fine!
Suddenly, Lina seemed to think of something and deliberately raised her volume as she said to Hadwin Stephenson, “Oh, yes. Hadwin, let’s bring Grace here next time.”
Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows and took a look at his girlfriend who was suddenly speaking loudly. Then, he looked at Jason who was talking toward the same exit. He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully and said, “Sure.”
“But I don’t know if Grace is free recently.
She has someone pursuing her right now. I heard they’re gonna dine together today. Some people may regard her as nothing, but she could be a piece of treasure in someone else’s eyes!” Lina continued in a loud voice.
There was a pause to Jason’s movements as his face darkened little by little. Meanwhile, Terrence was in a state of panic while wishing to sew Lina’s mouth shut immediately.
The name Grace was now taboo in Reed Group!
‘But now that audacious Lina is speaking so loudly of it!’ Terrence was really afraid that his boss would lose his temper!
The air pressure around Jason seemed to have dropped a lot, and Terrence, who was beside Jason, was close to trembling!
After Lina was done saying her piece, she took Hadwin Stephenson’s arm and left contentedly.
Hadwin Stephenson looked at his girlfriend’s petty move and unconsciously laughed. ‘Looks like it’s true that women and petty people are difficult!
‘Lina has both characteristics!’
From the corner of his eyes, Hadwin Stephenson once again glanced at Jason who was not far away before leaving.
‘Does Jason really not love Grace anymore? Did they break up because he’s sick of her and wants to stop dating Grace?’
Hadwin Stephenson had been skeptical about this.
After all, he had seen how Jason behaved in front of Grace. Jason really treasured Grace back then.
‘Could he give up a woman he treasured so easily?’
Moreover, Lina had even slapped Jason the last time. It was because of Grace that Jason did not pursue the matter.
‘How much space does Grace occupy in
Jason’s heart?’
After Hadwin Stephenson and Lina left, Terrence could not resist saying, “Master Reed.”
“Let’s go,” Jason coldly spat out two words before resuming walking.
However, when he got into the car and Terrence was about to drive back to the office, he heard his boss’ voice from the back seat of the car. “Find out where she is now.”
‘She?’ Terrence was shocked. Even though the boss only used the word
‘she’, he was sure that Master Reed was referring to Grace.
“Yes,” responded Terrence as he dialed a number on his phone to use his connections at hand to find out where Grace was at the moment.
During this process, Jason just leaned on the back of the seat with his eyes lowered. There was no expression on his handsome face, which made it hard to figure out what he was thinking about.
A moment later, Terrence was done giving instructions and turned to Jason, saying, “Master Reed, I’ve already told them what to do. I’m afraid it’ll take some time to get the results. Do you want to go back to the office now?”
“No, let’s just wait here for the results,” Jason said lightly.
Terrence replied and looked up at his boss. Master Reed was like a statue with some kind of coldness all over his body.
He knew that Master Reed was triggered by what Lina just said.
Master Reed had not gotten over Grace.
‘Why would he break up with her if he can’t get over her?’ Terrence did not understand but he did not dare to ask because… it was taboo!
Grace and Chase Harper were having lunch in a restaurant near the hospital.
When she came to the hospital today to visit Baldwin who was still in a coma, she bumped into Chase Harper again.
Chase Harper stayed with her while she gathered all kinds of materials. He even did some errands for her.
Grace could somewhat see through him too. It seemed that Chase Harper still liked her. However, he did not say it out loud, so she just stayed quiet about it and tried her best to keep her distance so as to avoid giving him the wrong idea.
She was at the hospital until nearly one o’clock in the afternoon. Grace was so busy that she even forgot about lunch.
