“Hadwin… Let’s not… misunderstand each other anymore…
What’s on the internet… isn’t true…” She seemed to be talking in her dream. She was even frowning in her sleep.
Hadwin Stephenson looked down blankly at her uneasy sleeping face and sat down again. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone who harms you off the hook. It has always been this way, and it will always… be this way.”
When Lina woke up, she found herself holding Hadwin Stephenson’s hand while he sat next to the couch, maintainin the same posture.
She quickly let go of his hand. “Did I make your hand go numb? If I hold your hand in my sleep, you can just pull it out. There’s no need to indulge me.”
He smiled faintly. “I’m reluctant to do that.”
She froze. “You’re reluctant?”
“Yes, you still held my hand even when you had fallen asleep. It made me feel like you couldn’t live without me and you needed me,” said Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina’s face could not help redden slightly, but then she seemed to recall something and shouted, “Oh, yes. My parents…”
“I got someone to pick up your parents and send them to my private mansion. Don’t worry. They won’t be disturbed!”
Lina was relieved. ‘As long as my parents won’t be disturbed by the reporters.
She looked out of the window and realized it was already dark. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already eight. She had slept for so long.
The closed car door isolated them from the commotion outside, and the car slowly drove away.
Lina was still looking blankly at Hadwin Stephenson. She was in a daze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Hadwin Stephenson’s voice rang in her ears.
Lina then instantly came to her senses. “You didn’t have to say that just to silence the reporters. The heir of the Stephenson family… That’s too…” For a moment, Lina had no idea how to describe it.
Hadwin Stephenson smiled. “If your child isn’t the heir of the Stephenson family, then whose child should be the heir of the Stephenson family?”
Lina froze. She heard Hadwin Stephenson continue saying, “Lina, you’ll forever be the only mother of my children, and the father of your children will only be me. So your child will be the heir of the Stephenson family. This fact will never change.”
Lina’s eyes could not help watering. Although the man kept refusing to tell her he had ‘forgiven’ her, he kept showing her how much he loved her and that they were bound to be together with his actions.
“Hadwin, falling in love with you is indeed amazing,” said Lina.
Hadwin Stephenson raised his hand to gently wipe Lina’s wet eyes. “Alright, stay in the mansion for a few days. You have nothing to worry or think about. I’ll take care of everything.”
“Okay.” Her eyes were full of trust for him. Moments later, she added, “But I don’t know why Anthony Sherman did this. He doesn’t really like me that much. He just likes me a little, but… that affection looks more like friendship to me.””
“Don’t think about it if you can’t understand it. We’ll know after we look into it,” Hadwin Stephenson said grimly.
‘What I’m more curious about is who’s behind Anthony Sherman. Is it what I think it is? And…! He stared at her tenderly.
In fact… falling in love with her was what was amazing.
Grace was stunned when she saw the news about her best friend online. Fortunately, based on the latest related news, Hadwin Stephenson seemed to trust Lina fully and even said that the child in Lina’s belly would be the heir of the Stephenson family. That came as a relief to Grace.
However, she still called her best friend. “What happened? Why did Anthony Sherman spread rumors on purpose?
He doesn’t strike me as someone like that”
“Got it. I won’t go easy on you,” Lina said with a smile. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something and said, “By the way, Kyla called me to ask about what happened. But Kyla’s voice sounded a little off when we talked about Nelson.
Is Nelson okay?”
Grace could not help but think of the little girl threatening Nelson at the primary school and said, “I’ll go visit Kyla and see if they’re in trouble.”
“Okay, great. I hope I’m just overthinking,” said Lina.
Compared to Lina, who was glad that there was no misunderstanding, Emily Flowers was furious.
When she saw footage of the scene playing on the news and how her son said to so many reporters and cameras that the baby in Lina’s stomach would be the Stephenson family’s heir whether they were a boy or girl, she felt like she was slapped in the face.
Her son ignored her and seemed to be telling everyone to lay their hands off Lina, as well as telling the world Lina’s future identity.
Since Lina’s child would be the Stephenson family’s future heir, then the future mistress of the Stephenson family could only “Mr. Stephenson, these are the people Anthony Sherman have gotten in touch with recently. He has resigned and booked a flight out of the country after his post went viral. It was as if he knew this was going to happen.” A man placed an investigation report in front of Hadwin Stephenson.
Hadwin Stephenson looked through the report. His eyes narrowed when he saw a name. It seemed that she was indeed the culprit behind Lina’s undeserved misfortune this time.
The report showed that Anthony Sherman was at the airport when he called Lina. There was a trace of shock in Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes when he saw a line of words when he got to the back of the investigation report.
It… surprised him!
Just then, his phone rang and a panicked voice came from the other end. “Mr. Stephenson, Madam called the police. Many police officers came and Madam has now left the mansion. We couldn’t stop her.”
The ‘Madam’ they were talking about was naturally Hadwin Stephenson’s mother-Emily Flowers.
Hadwin Stephenson pondered for a moment. “I see. Return to the mansion and protect the place.”
He thought his mother would prefer to heup the fortys scandals on the down-low, but the unexpectedly onlar the potice to fores her way out it was probably going to be ol Over the news tomorrow He could almost guess what his mother was up to Had he been too king to his momer?
Hadwin Stephenson looked down, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
I hope I got it wrong. If Mom doesn’t go that for, perhaps i con let her off the hook and let her continue living her life in luxury and comfort. If she really.
On the same day, Emily Flowers held a press conference and said that she would never acknowledge the baby in Lina’s stomach as the Stephenson family’s future heir. She also openly doubted that the baby in Lina’s stomach was not her son’s. At the same time, Emily Flowers stated that Lina was only a vain woman who thought she could get to the top with the baby in her stomach and she hoped her son would not be deceived again.
If her son persisted, she would use her ten percent shares in Stephenson Group to join forces with other shareholders to oppose her son from remaining as Stephenson Group’s president.
It was because a man fooled by a woman was no longer fit to be president.
