“Hadwin Stephenson… Why… Why did you show up again?” muttered Lina.
He stiffened. ‘Does she know that this intimacy and the way she’s holding him brings me devastating pain?’
However… He did not want to push her away. He only wanted her to hold him longer. He could bear the pain as long as she would continue to hold him like this.
“Because I miss you so much,” muttered Hadwin Stephenson. He answered her anyway, even though he knew she would probably forget whatever he said when she woke up.
“Miss… Miss me?”
“Yes, I miss you so much…”
“But… do you know how much I want to get over… you?” There seemed to be a lump in her throat and she finally broke into a body was pressed onto him.
The two collapsed into the back seat again.
However, it was different this time-she was on top of him.
“Lina! Do you know what you’re doing?” he shouted. He soon realized that he had asked a silly question. How could she possibly know when she was so intoxicated?
“Yes… Yes…” She mumbled as her fingers stroked his face, teasing his heart again and again.
“Hadwin Stephenson, I want to… get over you… you…” As she finished speaking, her lips kissed his.
She was talking about getting over him but was kissing him now.
“Lina… What on earth do you want?” he asked hoarsely, and the response he got was another lingering kiss…
Lina slept in the back seat of the car.
Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina with mixed feelings. He had never thought of doing such a thing with her here.
However… when she kissed him like that, all his self-control disintegrated and he could even ignore the pain in his body.
He loved her so much that nothing could ever change it!
He probably could not send her home now. Hadwin Stephenson took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, sat in the driver’s seat, and started the car.
The black car slowly drove away from the neighborhood as if it had never been here before.
Half an hour later, Hadwin Stephenson arrived at his mansion in Emerald City. He carefully carried her into the mansion and to the bed in his bedroom.
She slept so soundly with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking as though she was having a nice dream.
‘Could she be dreaming about me?’
“Lina, you still love me… don’t you?” muttered Hadwin Stephenson.
As long as she still loved him, then he would solve whatever problems lay ahead of them. He would find a solution and give everything to fight for their future.
He just wanted her to give him the motivation to give it his ail!
The night was quiet, and the room was enveloped with silence. However, it was not as cold as usual because of her presence.
When Lina woke up, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
‘Where… am I?’ She made a conscious attempt to sit up but her body felt sore all throughout.
This soreness felt familiar. ‘Could it be…’
Lina panicked. Ignoring her sore body, she immediately sat up and began to check her body. She was not wearing her own clothes but an unfamiliar robe… It was a man’s robe!
There was something about the robe that made her heart sink.
‘I remember going drinking with Grace yesterday. I hired ten male escorts and then… I drank a lot of wine too. I seemed to vaguely remember Jason as well…’
Just as Lina was trying hard to recall everything that had happened after she got drunk, the room door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in. “Are you up?”
Lina looked blankly at Hadwin Stephenson, who walked in. “You…”

He asked, “Do you want to ask me why I’m here? This is the bedroom in my mansion. You were with me last night.”
Lina suddenly realized it. ‘Yes, this place… I’ve been here many times! I used to spend a lot of time in this room when we were dating.
‘It’s just that the decor has changed so much that I… didn’t realize it.’
However, the fact that she was in his bedroom surprised her even more. “I was with you last night?”
Hadwin Stephenson asked, “Why else do you think you’re here? Or do you wish that… you were with another man last night?”
His voice deepened in the middle of the sentence.
Lina stiffened. ‘So… I was with him last night…’ For a moment, she did not know what to say. She just looked at him blankly.
She was silent.
“Lina, you’re a liar!” His thin lips gently spat out those words.
Her face paled and her heart ached because of what he said. “I… I was drunk last night. I don’t remember what I did or said. Well… I can only apologize now. I’m sorry!”
With that said, she quickly got out of bed and fled into the bathroom attached to the bedroom.
Bang!
She slammed the sliding door shut.
Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes fell on the door, his face looking grim.
In the bathroom, Lina heaved a long breath and supported her hands on the sink.
‘Last night… Did I really do what Hadwin Stephenson said? Gosh! How did that happen? How could I do that to Hadwin Stephenson?
‘I should be staying away from him!’
She tried to recall but her efforts were to no avail. The more she tried, the more her head hurt.
Lina looked at herself in the mirror in front of the sink. Her comely face had paled but her cheeks were still blushing. Her eyes were full of panic!
When Lina walked out of the bathroom, Hadwin Stephenson was not in the bedroom, which made her relieved.
She could not find the clothes she had worn last night in the room. The clothes Hadwin Stephenson had prepared fit her, but the price tags… were worth years of her salary.
However, she had nothing else to wear but those clothes.
Her bag was still there and she pulled out her phone. There were several messages on her phone, all from Grace.
Lina hurriedly called Grace. “Grace!”
