This long-lost intimacy unexpectedly made him feel like he had found a treasure.

If she could treat him that intimately again only when she was drunk, he wished she could stay drunk forever.

The car drove to the neighborhood of Grace’s rental house. Jason got out of the car with Grace in his arms and went into the rental house. Then, he told Terrence,

“Wait outside.””

“Yes,” answered Terrence as he stood at the door of the rental house.

Jason carried Grace to her bed and made her sit on the bed while he bent his knees and squatted down. He then carefully took off her shoes.

His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid he might hurt her if he was any more forceful.

Grace looked at Jason who had lowered himself in front of her while in a daze.

Suddenly, she reached out her hand and touched his head, saying, “Good boy,

Jason.”

He trembled slightly and raised his jaw a little. Those bright eyes of his were staring right at her. “Will you like me if I’ve been good?”

Back when she was still living with him, they had a similar conversation.

Back then, her answer was…

“Yes. Of course, I like you!” Grace grinned. It was a drunken grin, but her answer was the same as before.

‘Is she behaving like when we were together because she’s drunk? Back then, she was my Sis and I was her

Jason!’

“Will you be my Sis if I’m good?”

‘Be my Sis. Stay with me.

‘Even though I can’t give you love, I can give you something else.

‘I can fulfill your dreams and your ambitions for you. I can make those who despise you bow before you, and I can get you to the top of the social hierarchy.

‘As long as… you stay with me!’

Maybe this was the only way to make him feel less guilty.

“Sure, but… I’ve always been your Sis.

Jason, don’t worry, I’ll… protect you. I’ll protect you…” she muttered.

As she spoke, her eyelids began to droop, and her voice became lower and lower. Finally, she tilted her head and fell asleep.

He gently helped her to lie down. Then, he helped her with the thin quilt and raised his hand to stroke her messy hair.

“If you really want to protect me, then stay with me. That way, I won’t be hurt…”

he murmured. The palm of his left hand was slowly pressed against his heart.

He thought that as long as he stopped loving her, she would not be able to control his emotions and he could control his life.

However, it turned out that… he could not bear her leaving his side!

He wanted to keep her by his side and look at her all the time.

He would not love her, but… he wanted to see her!

Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina who was in such a drunken state that he dismissed the idea of sending her back to her home.

At the very least, he should make her drink some soup for her hangover later and wait until she was sober enough before taking her home.

Besides, he would have to get rid of the vest she was clutching.

Hadwin Stephenson glanced at the vest with resentment as he thought of this.

He had never seen her clutch his clothes that dearly!

Now, she was so enthusiastic about grabbing another man’s clothes.

Hadwin Stephenson drove the car to his mansion and brought Lina in.

“Make a bowl of soup for her hangover,” Hadwin Stephenson ordered the servant.

“Yes,” answered the servant. However, before leaving, her curious eyes caught a glimpse of Lina’s reddened cheeks and the vest she was clutching.

‘Young Master Stephenson doesn’t look quite right. Could it be that Miss

Sweeney has done something?’

The servant had been working there for more than a year. Young Master

Stephenson had always put on a poker face and no one could see through him.

However, it was only with Miss Sweeney that Young Master Stephenson seemed to break his composure.

Anyone could see through him at a

The servant went to prepare the soup. Hadwin Stephenson made Lina sit on the couch and said, “I’ll send you home after you finish the soup.”

Lina only mumbled, “I don’t want to go back. I want to watch more. Send… Send me back. I want to look at those hunks…”

What she said seemed to trigger Hadwin Stephenson. “Hunks? Lina, I’m not even done with you. You told me you have work, but instead, you went to that bar. Have I spoiled you too much that you’d dare to do such a thing?”

Lina winced a little. Although she was drunk, she somehow knew it was her fault.

“How… How did you find me? I… I didn’t tell you I was going to the bar!” she murmured as though she was dissatisfied.

“You tell me!” He grunted in annoyance.

He would not have found out if it were not for the photo she posted on her

Instagram.

She groaned.

“Give me that vest,” said Hadwin Stephenson. The sight of her clutching another man’s worn vest annoyed him.

“No!” Lina immediately shook her head and clenched the vest tighter. “I tried… Uh… I tried really hard to get this!”

“Tried really hard?” Hadwin Stephenson laughed out of anger. “Why did you grab their vest?”

“As a… souvenir, of course. You don’t know how handsome they are…”

“Oh?” There was a touch of danger in his voice. He leaned over as his hands rested on the couch beside her. “How handsome?”

“Just… incredibly handsome… Dynamic… Charming…” She was a little tongue-tied.

There were suddenly no good adjectives in her drunken brain.

His face was close to hers. “Who’s more charming?” There was a bewitching smile on the corner of his mouth that made his feminine face more gorgeous.

If she dared call them charming, then he wanted her to regret it.

Hadwin Stephenson had no good idea about how ‘good-looking’ they were.

After all, Lina was always good at taking advantage of his softheartedness for her.

There was nothing he could do to her if she started acting helpless.

He could be tough with everyone except her.

Hadwin Stephenson had always looked somewhat indifferent. His delicate features were like God’s masterpiece, and his smile could easily seduce people.

At least Lina could not take her eyes off

Hadwin Stephenson.

“Of course… You are…” She held a hand out and touched his face.

‘Good. She didn’t say it’s the five men!’ Hadwin Stephenson felt a little better now.

However, when he wanted to grab the vest, she refused.

Hadwin Stephenson said fiercely to her, “Lina, if you don’t let go, believe it or not,

He was about to say something threatening, but he stopped when he was about to say it. He was afraid that she would be frightened if he was too fierce, but if he said it too gently, she would not care at all.

Therefore, the incumbent patriarch of the Stephenson family was caught in a dilemma.

After a good while, Hadwin Stephenson finally spat out the words. “Believe it or not, I’ll tell your parents about what you have done tonight!”

When he finished, Hadwin Stephenson suddenly found himself behaving like a kid who was bullied, saying things like, ‘I’m going to tell the teacher!’

‘Since when do I have to use such a method?’ Hadwin Stephenson gave a wry smile.
