“That child is cute. It’s just that he was born deaf. He now wears a hearing aid and can speak. But regular kindergartens. refuse to admit him regardless. There’s no need to put him in a special needs kindergarten as well. After all, he’s just like any other kid now.”
Lina looked at Hadwin Stephenson with imploring eyes and said, “You’re well connected, aren’t you? Do you know anyone working in kindergartens?”
“Here I thought it’s something difficult. It’s just getting a kid into kindergarten. I’ll take care of it for you later,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina immediately smiled. Of course, she did not forget to say, “Don’t choose an expensive one. A regular one will do. They can’t afford expensive ones. Besides, when the kid starts. going to kindergarten, the gap between rich and poor would be too wide. It’ll only cause the kid some psychological problems.”
Hadwin Stephenson did not expect the seemingly careless girl
to be so attentive.
However, he would have preferred her being this attentive toward him.
“You care a lot about the boy,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
“He’s handsome and cute. Grace showed me a picture of him today. Wow, he’s just so good-looking,” said Lina.
“How good looking?” asked Hadwin Stephenson as he raised his long eyebrows.
“If I were 20 years younger, I’d pursue him right away! I wonder how many girls he’s going to charm when he goes to kindergarten!” Lina tutted, immediately becoming a fan of the young boy.
Hadwin Stephenson frowned. ‘Handsome and cute… She would pursue him? Why does this sound so awkward?’
“Would you really go after him if you were 20 years younger?”
“Yeah, you just haven’t met him yet. Why don’t you meet him. the next time Grace takes him out? Grace says he’s even more good-looking in person…” Lina stopped short. She finally realized that Hadwin Stephenson did not look quite right, and as if she had come to a realization, she then said coquettishly, “Of course, no matter how handsome and cute he is, he’s no match for you!”
The next second, she abruptly changed the subject before sighing to herself. ‘I almost forgot how stingy and easily jealous he is!”
“Do you think I’m good-looking?” He peered at her.
“Yes, yes. He’s no match for you. There’s a saying that being bright at an early age does not necessarily bring success upon growing up. Those who are good-looking when they’re young may not be good-looking when they grow up.” She continued to butter him up.
“In that case, do you think I wasn’t that good-looking when I was a kid?” he asked.
Lina was rendered speechless. She was so mad at him. “No way. You must’ve been handsome when you were a kid. Anyway, you look the best! You must know that I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you. I just couldn’t get you out of my mind all these years…”
Her throat ran dry as she spoke, and her own words of flattery made her speechless. They all said that women liked sweet talk, but it was the complete opposite when it came to them as Hadwin Stephenson was the one who liked it more.
Pity her. She was so tired of it sometimes.
However, since she liked him, she could only bear with it and coax him.
Although Hadwin Stephenson knew Lina was just buttering him up and it was not at all true, he could not help feeling happy hearing her words.
Therefore, he did not stop her and let her keep on talking. In the end, Lina had already finished all the drinks in front of her but Hadwin Stephenson did not look like he was planning to stop her. Lina could only lick her lips and gulped. “Well, do you get me? You really are the best-looking man in my heart.”
“Ever since I was little?” he asked nonchalantly.
She nodded non-stop.
“You’ve never seen me as a kid, have you?” he asked.
Her head that was nodding so quickly stopped suddenly. “Why don’t you give me a photo of yourself as a child and I’ll keep it with me at all times?” she asked.
He nodded. “Sure. I’ll give you a picture of me as a kid.”
Lina was rendered speechless. ‘Is he really going to give me his photo?’
However, she thought about how cute he must have been when he was a kid.
With that in mind, Lina began to look forward to Hadwin Stephenson’s photo as a kid.
Grace’s heart got heavier and heavier as Baldwin’s trial drew near.
A lot of times, they still would not get paid even if they won.
At noon, Chase Harper called Grace and asked her, “Um… Do you know where the actress Elise Dean is? I… I want to see her.”
“What seems to be the problem?” asked Grace.
“I just want to talk to her about Baldwin. Maybe she’ll feel sorry for Baldwin. I’m not expecting her to admit that she was the driver, but maybe she’ll give Baldwin’s family some money so that he can continue to get better treatment,” said Chase Harper. He just wanted to make one last effort.
After all, Baldwin was also an employee of his company.
However, the company was in its start-up stage and there was very little they could do to help Baldwin’s family.
Even though the company had donated money to Baldwin’s family several times, it was still not enough in the face of the huge medical bills.
On the other hand, Elise Dean was a famous actress. Some time ago, it was reported that the actress bought a new house worth 60 million dollars, so she should be able to pay for
Baldwin’s current medical expenses.
Grace hesitated. They did not have enough evidence so far. Even if the trial was held, there was no way for the judge to → decide that Elise Dean was the real culprit. Maybe they could only hope that Elise Dean had some sympathy for Baldwin’s suffering if they wanted to help Baldwin out.
“Alright, I’ll bring you to her,” said Grace. She had been keeping an eye on Elise Dean, so she knew that Elise Dean had been filming at the studio.
“Okay, then I’ll drive over and pick you up,” said Chase Harper.
“Okay,” replied Grace. After putting away the phone, she reorganized the papers.
When Chase Harper arrived, Grace got into the car and they headed to the film studio.
“Were you… alright that day?” Chase Harper started the conversation.
Grace was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was referring to the day Jason forced his car to stop in the middle of the road. His driver had come to ask her to go to his car.
“It’s nothing,” said Grace.
asked, “Is he your boyfriend?”
‘Boyfriend… Maybe he used to be, but not anymore! Grace smiled wryly. “No, I don’t have a boyfriend right now. I don’t plan to get one,” she replied lightly.
Chase Harper kept quiet and said nothing more.
The car drove to the film studio, and Grace took Chase Harper to Elise Dean’s film set.
Grace stepped forward and asked, “Miss Dean, can I have a chat with you?”
Elise Dean frowned and said impatiently, “You again?”
“Yes, the trial is starting soon, so I’m here to look for you again,” said Grace before introducing Chase Harper. “This is Baldwin’s colleague. He wants to talk to you about something. Is that alright?”
“If you have something to say, be quick. I’m filming my scene soon,” said Elise Dean.
Chase Harper told her briefly about Baldwin’s condition in the hospital. “Miss Dean, Baldwin’s family can’t afford the medical. expenses anymore, but if we don’t continue to use imported medicine, it will be more difficult to get Baldwin to wake up.
He’s only 25 years old. He’s still young. Miss Dean, could you help pay Baldwin’s medical bills first? When they get the compensation or when the Li family has the money, they’ll pay you back.”
Elise Dean’s expression sank immediately, “What do you mean? You want me to pay? I wasn’t the one who caused the accident. Why should I pay for it?”
“But-”
“No buts! I’m not a philanthropist. Besides, I’m not the driver responsible for the car accident. If I donate and pay for the accident, then anyone who’s injured will start approaching me!” Elise Dean said angrily.
Elise Dean was about to leave when Chase Harper unconsciously grabbed Elise Dean. “Miss Dean-”
“Let me go!” Elise Dean shouted, and Elise Dean’s a**istant quickly pushed Chase Harper away.
Chase Harper stumbled a little before regaining his footing.
Elise Dean glared at Chase Harper, ordering the film set’s security guard, “Don’t let these two people enter the set again. Jeez. They made me lose my mood!”
“Yes, miss,” the security guards repeatedly said.
