Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)
Grace instantly felt awkward, knowing that Jason was recalling what had happened between them before.
Therefore, she said, “Jay, let’s not have any more misunderstandings!”
Just like the misunderstanding between Lina and Hadwin Stephenson. If Katherine Jackson had not been so smug as to tell Lina, would Lina forever be in the dark and lose Hadwin Stephenson for good?
Sometimes, maybe even the most passionate love was no match for a misunderstanding.
She did not want her and Jay to encounter the same situation. It would be utterly unfortunate and ridiculous if they lost each other because of a misunderstanding.
Jason replied, “Okay, no more misunderstandings between us!”
Mr. Sweeney, Mrs. Sweeney, and Lina got on the high-speed rail to J City. Lina was anxious during the entire trip.
Almost every time she closed her eyes recently, she would think of her time with Hadwin Stephenson-the happy times, painful times, sad times…
What appeared in her mind the most was the dim look in Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes. His eyes were a gloomy gray as if he was completely disappointed in her!
“Alright, stop thinking about it. We’ll arrive in J City in three more hours,” said Mrs. Sweeney. She knew her daughter was thinking about Hadwin Stephenson again when she saw the way she looked. “Come and eat something so you won’t go hungry.”
Mrs. Sweeney said as she opened the insulated lunchbox, which contained some snacks she had prepared. They were still warm.
Lina picked up a pastry and ate it bite by bite. Although these delicious snacks tasted like wax to her at the moment, she continued eating.
It was because her body was no longer her own now. Even if she had no appetite for anything, she was eating all this for her baby so they could grow up healthily.
She thought three hours would go by slowly, but when she arrived at the train station in J City, Lina felt that time had passed so quickly.
It was now three o’clock. Could she… meet Hadwin Stephenson?
They had booked the hotel beforehand, and it was near Stephenson Group’s headquarters.
When they got to the hotel, Lina said, “Mom, Dad, I want to gò to Stephenson Group and see if I can meet Hadwin!”
“We’ll go with you,” said Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney.
“No thanks. The building is nearby. It’s only a few minutes away from here. This is between Hadwin and me. I want to handle it myself. It’ll be awkward if you guys are around,” said Lina.
After all, she did not want to involve her parents in her relationship anymore.
Her parents had done a lot for her.
Mrs. Sweeney wanted to say something, but Mr. Sweeney pulled his wife and said, “Alright, let her deal with her relationship herself. She’s an adult and is going to be a mother soon. There are things she has to deal with herself!”
Mrs. Sweeney sighed at this but stopped fussing about going. with her.
Mr. Sweeney also said to Lina, “No matter what the final result is, your mother and I will always have your back.
With our pension, we can afford to raise a grandchild!”
Lina’s eyes immediately watered. She wilfully got pregnant out of wedlock and decided to give birth to the baby, but her parents remained to be her strongest backer!
How lucky she was to be their daughter in this life?
After saying goodbye to her parents, Lina walked toward Stephenson Group’s building.
‘Am I going to meet Hadwin? Or should I say, will Hadwin meet me?’
Now that she recalled it, she had been so close to happiness. If she had not misunderstood when she saw Katherine Jackson come out of Hadwin’s mansion and instead believed that Hadwin loved her or asked him for clarification, would they not have separated?
When Lina came to Stephenson Group’s entrance, she suddenly stopped. She was dumbfounded.
She saw a few figures coming out from inside, and the one leading them was… Hadwin Stephenson!
Dressed in a suit and tie, he was now thinner than she remembered. His black hair was slicked back, revealing his full forehead and fully exposing his beautiful face. At the same time, it also made him look daunting.
He was emitting a solemn and intimidating aura. Lina stared blankly at Hadwin Stephenson. There was only him in her eyes.
As if he had noticed her gaze, Hadwin Stephenson slightly turned his head and looked at Lina. The moment he saw her, his pupils shrank and he stopped in his tracks.
“Ting…”
Lina had just spoken one word when Hadwin Stephenson continued walking away. He turned away and was no longer looking at her.
It was as if she were just a stranger to him.
Seeing Hadwin Stephenson about to get in a black car that was parked outside, Lina instantly came to her senses.
She hurried forward and stretched out her hand to grab Hadwin Stephenson’s arm.
“Hadwin!” she said quickly, trying to stop him from leaving so quickly. “Give me some time. I have something to say to you!”
Hadwin Stephenson stopped and looked coldly at the hand that was grabbing his arm.
The people behind Hadwin Stephenson were surprised to see this. Some had begun to speculate about Lina’s identity. Of course, some also recognized Lina as the woman who had a scandal with their president. The news had made it into tabloids.
Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina’s face. Those dark eyes looked at her indifferently. “Who am I to give you time?”
“Ah…” Lina froze. His indifferent eyes stung her heart.
“I don’t like being grabbed by strangers. Let go.” Even his voice was indifferent.
‘Strangers?’ Lina just felt like a sharp sword was stabbing into her heart.
She once said they had nothing more to do with each other!
