She comforted her mother, saying, “Mom, don’t worry. I’m not going to go after him shamelessly, take things too hard, or do anything extreme. If Hadwin still won’t accept me after I’ve tried everything, then… Then I’ll go back to Emerald City with you and be a single mother. I’ll stay with you and the baby for the rest of my life.”
“Nonsense. Do you really want to be a single mother all your life? You can get married if you find someone else.
Many women with kids still get married these days!” said Mrs. Sweeney, not wanting her daughter to spend her life like that.
Lina smiled bitterly. After falling in love with a man like Hadwin Stephenson and experiencing being loved by him, how could she love another man?
She would never experience something so unforgettable again.
“Alright, Mom. We’ll talk about it later.” Not wanting to worry her mother too much, Lina changed the subject.
The next day, Lina went to Stephenson Group again after breakfast.
The security guard hurriedly stopped her when he saw her. After all, he was scolded for not stopping the woman in time yesterday. If he let the woman harass the president again, he would probably lose his job.
“I’m… here to see your president,” said Lina.
“Just go. Even if you know the president, it’s clear he doesn’t want to see you. Or you can set an appointment with the president, then we can let you in said the security guard Ling looked troubled She had called Hadwin Stephenson, but she kept getting a busy signal. She wondered if Hadwin Stephenson had blocked her.
Glaring at the ‘devoted’ security guard in front of her, Linal could not help frowning and thinking about countermeasures.
Hadwin Stephenson saw Lina enjoying a drink and some snacks on the couch outside the president’s office after the early morning company meeting was over.
He immediately stopped walking, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
“What is she doing here?” Hadwin Stephenson asked the secretary with an indifferent expression.
The secretary said in frustration, “Uh, President, your… ex-girlfriend said she left something in your possession when she broke up with you. She said she’ll call the police if you don’t return it, so… I just let her wait here.”
After all, any employee in the company who knew about the president’s past could all figure out that Ling was the president’s ex-girlfriend. There were even videos of them online.
When reporters surrounded Lina and accused her of being a homewrecker, the president took her away. His domineering protectiveness even caused the company’s employees to speculate whether she would marry the president in the end.
However, the president came back to J City himself.
Hence, many people thought this woman had lost her chance but she came looking for the president again.
Lina blinked her round eyes as she looked at Hadwin Stephenson and said, “Well… Why don’t we talk in your office?
You don’t want anyone to know what you have of mine, do you?”
“What if I don’t mind? Tell me what I have of yours,” Hadwin Stephenson snapped.
“Do you really want me to?” Lina hesitated.
“Go ahead”
Therefore, Ling cleared her throat and said, “I didn’t take the ginger brown sugar as well as menstrual pads that you helped me buy, and…”
“That’s enough!” Hadwin Stephenson interrupted Lina with a grim expression as he raised his hand to rub his forehead. “Come to my office!” He felt that his mood would fluctuate so much whenever she was involved.
Lina instantly showed a smug look. She hurriedly followed Hadwin Stephenson to the office but remembered to bring the snacks along before leaving.
‘Stephenson Group’s free snacks for employees taste pretty good!’
The employees who heard what Lina said looked at each other. ‘The president bought ginger brown sugar and…
menstrual pads for this woman…
‘That’s kind of a hard picture to associate with the president!’
After entering the office, Hadwin Stephenson turned around and glared at Lina behind him. “You…”
“I… I only said that because I wanted to see you, but… I did U this stuff at your mansion…” Her voice trailed under his glare.
“I threw out those things long ago. Did you expect me to keep them after all these years?!” Hadwin Stephenson yelled.
“Did you throw away the matching pillows, mugs, and slippers I bought too?” Lina blurted out.
It was her first time dating, so she was fond of matching couple items. She often bought some and kept them in his mansion.
He seemed dismissive at first but ended up using whatever she had bought anyway.
He would drink coffee from the matching mug she bought, lean on the matching pillow as he read on the couch, and wear the fuzzy Mickey slippers while she wore her Minnie slippers.
At the time, she even joked about taking their children to Disneyland when they got pregnant.
“Yes,” Hadwin Stephenson said without hesitation.
Lina’s face paled as she bit her lip slightly. Moments later, she seemed to have cheered up again and said, “It’s okay. I’ll buy some more when I get a chance.”
Hadwin Stephenson seemed to fly into a rage. “What on earth do you want? I thought we made it clear yesterday.
You can talk to my secretary if you want money. If you don’t, leave J City and return to Emerald City!”
‘Don’t show up in front of me anymore. You’ll only upset me.’
Lina stretched out her hand and cautiously tugged at Hadwin Stephenson’s sleeve. “Hadwin, are you sure you can’t forgive me? I… I didn’t know that you had a blood curse on you, and I didn’t know that you knelt and kowtowed to beg Katherine Jackson for me. I… I thought you were dating Katherine Jackson to get Stephenson Group. I had no idea you did all that to save me.”
She was filled with guilt when she said that.
He had done so much for her, but she knew nothing about it.
Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes glimmered a little. He heard her say, “When I didn’t know anything, I did think about getting rid of the baby. I wanted nothing to do with you because I was afraid that I would think of you whenever I saw the child. Then wouldn’t be able to stop loving you, but…
