He said, “Yeah. Do you often talk to Anthony Sherman on the phone?”
His voice sounded jealous. Lina quickly ended the call and said, “Not really. He just called me and said something ambiguous, so I wanted to ask him about it.”
“Something ambiguous?” He raised his eyebrows slightly as if he was interested. “What did he say?”
“He asked me how we’re doing, told me I’m a good woman, and apologized to me.” She was confused.
Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes glimmered slightly, “You and Anthony Sherman seemed to get to know each other through a blind date, didn’t you?”
His voice sounded faintly dangerous. Lina shuddered and peeked at Hadwin Stephenson. “Well… Does it bother you?
“What do you think?” he asked nonchalantly.
“Well… We met on a blind date, but we’re just friends. Even though… we did go on dates with marriage as the end goal, we didn’t do anything intimate…” Her voice grew quieter under his gaze.
‘Come on. Why do I feel guilty?’ Lina thought to herself as she bit her lip.
She was single then, so there was nothing wrong with going on a blind date!
Besides, she and Anthony Sherman had never done anything that crossed the line.
“Is that so? Does that mean you have never even held hands with him?” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice lazily rang out in her ears.
“Yep,” she answered.
The next moment, he was breathing on her cheek, and that handsome face was magnified before her.
“Hadwin, what… What are you doing?” she asked in a stammer.
Yeah.” Her face flushed slightly.
His lips were close to her ear while his warm breath sprayed on her ear.
Lina only felt that her ears were getting hotter and hotter. She wanted to raise her hands to cover her hot ears, but he pulled her hands down first. “You didn’t do this either?”
As he finished speaking, his lips touched her ear.
Lina’s face instantly reddened, and she felt her blood surge.
‘Come on! Does he know he’s tempting me to do things I shouldn’t do in my current condition?’
“Did you do it?” His voice muttered.
“No… No way!” she stammered, trying to put some distance between them.
She was pregnant. She could not get too ‘excited’.
He seemed to smile with satisfaction. His fingers grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him. He used his other hand to wrap it around her waist and drew her closer to him.
“Lina, since you’re pregnant with my child and want to pester me forever, you’re forbidden from being intimate with other men, got it?” He stared at her with a straight face.
“Well… Can I at least shake hands and hug my idols?” She thought it over and bargained.
He frowned slightly. She… seemed to have a lot of idols, and she would have new ones almost every year. He could figure out just from the photos of her idols on her phone.
There were probably dozens of them. If she shook hands and hugged each of them…
Hadwin Stephenson’s scalp tingled just from his imagination alone.
“Of course, I promise there’ll be nothing more than handshakes and hugs,” added Lina.
Hadwin Stephenson frowned. “What, were you hoping to do other things as well?”
‘Uh… forget I said anything!
As a result, Hadwin Stephenson spent the rest of the morning discussing with Lina the distance she should maintain with her idols.
In the afternoon, Lina continued to stay in Hadwin Stephenson’s office. She ate snacks and drank bird’s nest. She was having the time of her life.
The senior executives and secretaries who often made trips to the president’s office had also gotten used to it.
They were even respectful to Lina. Anyone could see that she was probably the future mistress of the Stephenson family.
When people finally stopped going in or out of the office, Lina suddenly stopped. She seemed to stiffen and look down at her belly in disbelief.
“What’s the matter?” Hadwin Stephenson immediately noticed her strange behavior.
time and keep an eye on her.
Lina looked up at Hadwin Stephenson while blinking. She saw Hadwin Stephenson putting down the pen in his hand.
He got up and hurried toward her.
“I think… the baby just kicked,” she murmured.
Hadwin Stephenson suddenly stopped. Then, the two of them just stared at each other. “The baby kicked?” His voice was a little out of tune.
It was not that he did not know what it meant. He knew that she was pregnant and that it was normal for the baby to kick this far along in the pregnancy, but… he had an indescribable feeling when he related the baby’s movement to the woman in front of him.
Hadwin Stephenson went up to Lina, sat beside her, and stared intently at her slightly bulging belly.
“Hey, they’re kicking again. Touch my belly!” Lina suddenly shouted and pulled Hadwin Stephenson’s hand to her belly.
Instantly, he felt a slight movement in her belly through the thin layer of clothing. It was so slight it was easy to ignore. It was a wonderful feeling that made him realize that her belly was carrying a tiny human life. It was a tiny human life that belonged to both of them!
