Ch. 1021..1030

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1021-Kyla Corbyn gently coaxed him, and soon, the little one fell asleep. Kyla Corbyn then muttered, “I just hope Nelson won’t be discriminated against when he starts kindergarten” “Who dares discriminate against him? I’ll go to the kindergarten and stand up for him!” Lina immediately said. She did not believe she could not handle a few children.

Kyla Corbyn smiled. She envied Lina’s character sometimes. She was just as fearless as she used to be. However, she could never be the same after everything she experienced.

“Grace, thank you so much for the custody case,” said Kyla Corbyn “I’ve already talked to the firm and Lawyer Carter has agreed to help. Don’t think about it too much,” said Grace.

Kyla Corbyn nodded. Speaking of which, she was surprised that Martin Weiss chose a court in Emerald City to hear the case She thought he would choose a court in 5 City.

After all, 5 city was his territory.

Since he had chosen Emerald City, she did not have to travel.

back and forth between two cities, which saved her a lot of effort job?” asked Grace.

“I’ll set up a food stall for now. I’ll take care of the rest after the lawsuit is over,” said Kyla Corbyn.

“A food stall? A roadside food stall?” Lina was surprised.

“Yeah, I start in the evening and close around 3 A.M. I’ve been. doing it for more than a week, and it’s doing okay. The money I’m making is sufficient to support me, my mom, and Nelson,” said Kyla Corbyn.

“Isn’t running food stalls hard work?” asked Lina.

“A little, but the jobs I can do are limited. I’m just setting up a stall where I cook some noodles and appetizers. The money I earn from doing these is alright. Besides, I’ve set up food stalls before I opened the small restaurant, so I have some experience,” said Kyla Corbyn.

Lina was dumbfounded.

Grace knew how hard life could be for a woman who had been released from prison. She had trouble finding a job too when she was released from prison. Besides, Kyla had to make a living for her mother and son as well.

Kyla Corbyn looked at the time and said, “It’s almost time to set up my food stall, so I’m not going to eat dinner with you. today.” Grace said, “I’ll go with you. I’m free anyway.” “I’ll come with you too!” Lina interjected suddenly.

“However, the place is… a bit far. I’m riding a scooter, so you…” “I’ll drive Grace to the destination and wait for you there. Just tell me the specific location,” said Lina.

Therefore, the three of them headed to the place where Kyla Corbyn set up her food stall.

Once they were there, Kyla Corbyn began to lay out some folding tables and chairs, along with ingredients, tools, and so on. Grace and Lina also gave her a hand.

Once they set up everything, Lina was already sweating and could not help admiring Kyla Corbyn more.

She was already exhausted after doing it for a while, not to mention Kyla Corbyn who usually did everything herself.

The customers had also started to arrive. Kyla Corbyn expertly cooked the food while Grace and Lina helped her wipe the tables and carve the food

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1022-Lina looked around. There were many similar food stalls around, and the traffic in the area was pretty good.

“You two haven’t had your dinner yet. I’ll make you some fried vermicelli. You can try out my cooking,” said Kyla Corbyn.

“Sure!” Lina said with a smile. Speaking of which, she had not tried her cooking yet!

“What about you? I don’t think you’ve had dinner either,” said Grace as she looked at Kyla Corbyn with concern.

“I’ll just eat something later. I own a food stall. Would I starve myself?” Kyla Corbyn said with a smile and quickly cooked two plates of fried vermicelli for Grace and Lina.

They ate at a small square table. Lina praised Kyla Corbyn’s cooking while she ate. “It’s much better than my mom’s cooking.” “Does your mom still cook at home?” asked Grace.

“That’s right. My mom’s cooking hasn’t improved in decades, but she loves to occupy the kitchen. Then my dad would always butter up my mom by telling her how good her cooking is, so she doesn’t even know the true quality of her cooking.” Sometimes, her father would give the excuse of letting her mom rest when he could not stand her cooking and cook. himself.

“That means your dad loves your mom a lot!” said Grace. She envied such relationships. Although it was ordinary and there were no exciting plot twists, there was warmth in every detail of their life.

She hoped she would have a relationship like that.

However, it had become wishful thinking.

“That’s true. They’re very much in love.” Then, Lina shrugged. and asked, “By the way, how have you been with Jason? Does he still insist on playing the brother and sister game with you?” Grace had a flashback of the night he talked about getting back together. He said he would love her and wanted her to love him again.

After she turned him down, he did not come to her again.

However, after she turned him down, the look of loneliness in his eyes had burned into her mind like an imprint. The image would flash through her mind when she closed her eyes in the dead of night.

“What’s the matter? Did Jason do something again?” Lina immediately panicked because of her best friend’s silence.

“No, he just…” Before Grace could answer, Lina’s phone suddenly rang. Lina looked at the caller ID and realized it was from Hadwin Stephenson, so she answered it. “Where are you? Are you still at Kyla Corbyn’s house? Do you want me to come and get you?” asked Hadwin Stephenson, knowing that she had gone to Kyla Corbyn’s residence with Grace today.

“I’m not there anymore. Kyla sets up a food stall at Huaihai Road at night. Grace and I followed her here. I drove today, so you don’t need to come and get me. I’ll go home after sending Grace home. I’ll contact you once I’m home,” said Lina.

“Okay,” answered Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina was about to end the call when suddenly, there was a bang and someone kicked over a chair at the table next to them.

Lina looked up and saw three men sitting at the table next to them. They each wore menacing expressions. One of them spat out the words, “What kind of crap are you charging me for? Damn it. There are flies in your food. Are you trying to kill us?” The other two men were also blabbering something about Kyla Corbyn being a shady stall owner, compensation, and so 1.

These three men were only here to create trouble!

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1023-Even so, Kyla Corbyn hurried forward and apologized to smooth things over. “Why don’t I cook you a new one? Dinner’s on me the next time you come here?” “Is that all you’re going to do to settle this? There are flies.

in your dish! What if we ate your food and got hospitalized?

What about the medical bills? Besides, we wouldn’t dare eat your cooking again!” “Stop talking nonsense. Make her pay!” “That’s right, Pay up! Forget about doing business here if you don’t pay us!” The three men spoke, and one of them deliberately held at dead fly in his hand in front of Kyla Corbyn’s face as if it was a piece of physical evidence.

Some of the customers who had been eating also stopped to look on.

Of course, Kyla Corbyn knew that the three men were blackmailing her, but she had no evidence to prove that they planted the fly. She could only say through gritted teeth, “Why don’t I compensate you 200 dollars?” This 200 dollars was nearly as much as she earned from a However, they were not safished “200 dollars? Do you think we’re beggars?” “That’s right. You should at least give us 50,000 dollars. If you don’t have 50,000 dollars, forget about doing business here!” ‘50,000 dollars…’ There was no way Kyla Corbyn could come up with that kind of money!

Lina was so mad when she heard this. “50,000 dollars? Why don’t you just rob someone? God knows if you’re the one who planted the fly?” “What? Are you saying we’re blackmailing her?” he said fiercely.

“Well, you are!” grumbled Lina.

“I found a fly in your food, and this is the physical evidence. Can you prove that it wasn’t from your cooking?” he said shamelessly.

Lina was so pissed off by the three scoundrels!

Just then, Grace said, “We have no way to prove whether you planted the fly or whether it was in the food, but we can prove that you’re blackmailing us.” Grace picked up her phone as she said, “I recorded you asking for 50,000 dollars just now. I’m going to call the police. Let’s the police handle this once they’re here.” With that, she dialed 110.

The three men were furious!

One of them tipped the table over, spilling dishes and chopsticks all over the floor. This caused those around them to scream while the customers who had been enjoying their meal quickly fled the scene.

The three of them threatened to hit Grace and Lina. Kyla Corbyn hurried to protect them. After all, it had nothing to do with them. Therefore, she could not let Grace and Lina get hurt.

“You guys should go first!” said Kyla Corbyn.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1024-“Let’s run away together, Kyla. Forget about the stall for now!” said Grace as she grabbed Kyla Corbyn and quickly dialed 110 with her fingers.

Lina also picked up a chair and threw it at the three men as she said to Kyla Corbyn, “Let’s run away together. They’re here to make trouble on purpose! I’ll get Hadwin Stephenson to teach them a lesson later!” Unfortunately, Hadwin Stephenson was not here right now, so she could only think of ways to protect themselves!

“Hello, is this 110? I have a disturbance here. They want to harm me and my friends…” As soon as the line got through, Grace spoke quickly.

“Damn it, the b*tch called the police! Grab her phone!” one of them spoke as he jumped at Grace. She was just about to give her address when a shadow flashed by and a muffled grunt rang afterward.

A man who had appeared out of nowhere was hitting the man who wanted to attack Grace.

The two other men tried to help, but another man appeared and began to fight them.

thugs to the ground, making them scream in pain.

“I don’t think… we need to run anymore!” mumbled Lina.

Kyla Corbyn looked on in surprise, still caught in a trance. She was going to run, but now the tables had turned!

Grace recognized the two men who had suddenly appeared. They were the bodyguards Jason sent to follow her. These two men also showed up to save her when Elise Dean’s die-hard fan tried to attack her at the film studio.

She had no idea the two bodyguards were still around!

“Miss, where are you? We’ll send the police over,” said the 110 operator at the other end of the line.

Grace muttered, “No thanks… It should be alright now. I’ll… take the three attackers to the police station to give their statements later.” Once Grace put her phone away, the two bodyguards came forward and asked, “Miss Cummins, are you okay?” Grace shook her head. “I’m fine. Thanks.” “Don’t mention it. Mr. Reed sent us to follow you around. It’s our job to keep you safe, Miss Cummins,” said the two men.

“What? You’re Jason’s men?” Lina asked in surprise before to look at Grace. “Does that mean Jason has eyes on you every day?” Grace gave a wry smile. “It seems so, but every coin has two sides. At least, we’re safe because of them.” “That’s true.” Lina scratched her head, Grace turned to Kyla Corbyn and said, “Kyla, you can go on with your business. Lina and I will go to the police station to make a report and give them our statements. The police will have a record of this if these people come troubling you again next time. It’ll serve as evidence for your protection.” “Thank you!” said Kyla Corbyn.

Just then, a car suddenly rushed over and stopped at the roadside. A figure got out of the car and strode to Lina.

“Hadwin…” Lina had just spoken a word when Hadwin Stephenson turned her body left and right to examine it.

“What was that all about? Are you hurt?” Hadwin Stephenson asked worriedly.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1025-=“I’m… fine.” Lina was still shocked at her boyfriend’s sudden.

arrival. “How did you know I was here?” She did not remember telling him the exact address.

“How dare you ask me that?” he asked. She had started screaming in the middle of the call and there were men’s snappy voices in the background too, so he panicked.

However, she had hung up. He called her again, but he could not get through to her. He was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He could only follow the words ‘Huaihai Road’ she mentioned earlier and drove over to look for her on the way.

The 20-minute journey was shortened to 10 minutes. He had no idea how many speeding tickets he was going to get later!

“The next time you’re in danger, at least tell me where you are before you hang up! Do you have any idea how panicked I was?” Hadwin Stephenson half-growled.

Lina was stunned. She looked at the man’s pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead.

She could see that he was worried about her.

“I… I’m sorry!” Lina said sheepishly.

extinguished all his anxiety, impatience, and restlessness like a fire extinguisher!

He could not get mad at her even if he wanted to.

He gave a long sigh and took her in his arms. “Don’t make me. worry so much again!” ‘This embrace is so warm!” Lina could not help but hug Hadwin Stephenson back as she answered, “Okay.” However, even though she was sorry, she felt warm inside and was overjoyed… He cared about her so much!

The two held each other for a long time before Lina realized she and Hadwin Stephenson were about to become the focus of onlookers.

Therefore, her usual thick face turned red. She said to Kyla Corbyn, “Well… Kyla, you should get back to running your business. Grace and I will take these three thugs to the police station.” “Sorry to trouble you,” said Kyla Corbyn.

“It’s alright.” Lina waved her hand repeatedly.

In the end, they decided that the two bodyguards would share a car with the three men while Lina and Grace would sit in Stephenson’s car. Then, the two cars headed for the police station that oversaw this stretch of road.

Kyla Corbyn looked on as the car moved away. She thought of how Hadwin Stephenson was so worried about Lina earlier and could not help feeling envious.

‘Isn’t this the kind of relationship I once hoped for? I thought I had it.

‘In the end, it was all just wishful thinking. The man didn’t love nor pity me.

‘Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so cruel to me!’ Kyla Corbyn’s eyes darkened as she thought of the custody case. She knew that the road ahead would be difficult for her.

However, she would go on no matter how hard it was!

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1026-“On the way to the police station, Lina told Hadwin Stephenson what happened at the food stall.

Hadwin Stephenson could not help frowning. It seemed fortunate that Jason’s two bodyguards were around. Otherwise, the three women could not have escaped!

“Why don’t I send two bodyguards to protect you as well?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina quickly refused. “No, I’ll feel like I’m being watched and feel uncomfortable.” “But…” “I promise I’ll call you immediately if there’s any real danger!” said Lina as she raises her hand in a swearing gesture.

Hadwin Stephenson found the way she looked both funny and annoying at the same time.

When they arrived at the police station, Grace told the police what happened earlier and submitted the recording on her phone. The three thugs were also handed over to the police.

After the police took their statements, Lina said to Grace, “Hadwin and I will send you back later.” “Okay,” said Grace.

The three of them walked out of the police station, and the two bodyguards followed Grace after giving their statements.

Hadwin Stephenson parked his car in a parking space in front of the police station. However, a black Bentley was currently parked in another parking space not far away.

Grace stopped in her tracks. ‘That’s… Jason’s car!

‘He’s here too?” The two bodyguards following Grace now stepped forward and said to Grace, “Miss Cummins, please step this way.” Grace pursed her lips. ‘That means the two bodyguards knew Jason would be here!

‘That’s right. Jason sent them. Of course, they’ll report to Jason. whatever that happened!’ “Grace, what’s wrong?” Lina also stopped and looked strangely at her best friend who had stopped behind her.

Grace said awkwardly, “You guys go ahead. I’ll… go back in a different car.

Lina glanced at her best friend before glancing at the two bodyguards. Then, her eyes fell on the nearby Bentley. “Is that Jason? Is he in the car?” Grace nodded her head.

Lina stared at the car. “I’ll ask him what he’s doing with you.” Although Lina felt grateful to the two bodyguards Jason sent, this was a different matter. ‘Jason’s brother and sister game is just silly!

‘Since they’ve broken up, isn’t this just torture?” Just as Lina was about to run over, Grace stopped her best friend. “This is between us. I’ll take care of it.” She knew Lina was worried about her, but she was also afraid that Lina would make Jason mad by going against him. Even if Lina had Hadwin Stephenson to protect her, she might not be entirely safe.

“But…” Lina was still worried.

“Alright, you’d better not cause her trouble,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

Lina gave up and said to Grace before parting ways, “If Jason is giving you a hard time, you must tell me. We’ll find a solution. together.”

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1027-The corners of Grace’s lips curled. “Alright, got it.” Lina was like the light in her dark world. She would always grab her and hold on to her when she was in trouble!

Lina then got into the car with Hadwin Stephenson while Grace got into the black Bentley.

Lina watched as the Bentley drove away. Then, she grumbled to Hadwin Stephenson who was next to her, “Alright, let’s go.” Hadwin Stephenson drove away from the police station. “Where do you want to go now?” “Home. Where else?” Lina said sulkily.

“If you’re in a bad mood, why don’t we watch a movie to cheer you up?” he asked.

“Forget it. No movies will work, unless you do another.

striptease,” she blurted out. She recalled him doing it the last time she was drunk but had no memory of it! She only had a vague memory of it.

Therefore, she felt that it was a shame every time she thought about it, and in time, it became a regret.

Hadwin Stephenson squinted a glance at Lina. “If you want to She almost choked!

‘What did he say? Is he gonna do… that kind of dance for me? Seriously? Isn’t he the patriarch of the Stephenson family?

Hasn’t he always disdained such… uh, flirty gestures?’ He scorned the boy bands the last time she watched them. singing and dancing on TV!

“Are you really going to do it?” she asked in a mutter.

“Yeah,” he answered right away. He would do anything for her as long as she could be happy.

Lina gulped. Then, she thought, ‘What better day than today? What if he regrets it later? I’m gonna be so upset.

“Today then,” she said at once.

“Today?” He was slightly startled.

“Yes, it’s still early… anyway. Why don’t we go to your place first, and you can send me home after doing the striptease?* she said. God knew it was already after nine o’clock in the evening. It was not early at all, and it would be ten o ‘clock by the time they got to his place.

Hadwin Stephenson pondered for a moment before saying. “Alright.” With that, he turned the car around and drove toward his mansion.

Lina got a little thirsty on their way there, so she said, “Do you have anything to drink? I’m thirsty.” “I have a bottle of coffee. Would you like some?” he said.

“Sure,” she answered. She knew where he usually put hist drinks and reached for it herself. However, she stopped as if she had thought of something when she was opening the bottle. Then, with a slight frown, she stared at the coffee bottle.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

Lina bit her lip and asked, “What if I’m pregnant?” Hadwin Stephenson was stunned. Then, the sound of brakes. screeching could be heard. Hadwin Stephenson had stepped on the brakes with a stunned expression to stop the car and looked at Lina in disbelief.

“Why did you suddenly stop the car? It’s dangerous!” said Lina as she patted her chest. Fortunately, there were few cars on the road. They would have gotten into an accident if there were more cars.

“What did you say? You’re… pregnant?” Hadwin Stephenson.

stared at Lina’s stomach, his voice out of tune.

He rarely lost his composure, but as long as it had something

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1028-“Not… Not yet. I’m just wondering if I’m pregnant,” Lina explained quickly. She moved a little uncomfortably. She was a little embarrassed by the way he was looking at her stomach. “Besides, my period hasn’t come this month,” she added lamely.

He mused, “If that’s the case, it’s possible that she’s pregnant.

However if she’s pregnant, then I’m…” “We’ll find out if you’re pregnant by going to the hospital tomorrow for a blood test,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

When she heard that she had to go to the hospital for a blood test, she felt a tingle in her scalp. “We don’t have to go to the hospital for a blood test, do we? Why don’t we just buy a pregnancy test and test it out first?” He was rendered speechless and looked at her. “Are you afraid of drawing blood?” She nodded honestly before saying, ‘Get out of the car and buy a pregnancy test when you pass by some pharmacy or something. Uh, you’d better buy several different brands just in case.” Therefore, when Hadwin Stephenson arrived at the pharmacy and bought every type of pregnancy test on the shelf, the Back in the car, he handed all the pregnancy tests to Lina.

Lina started studying the pregnancy test kits with all her heart and soul. She even took out the instructions and studied them carefully with a curious and excited look.

When they arrived at Hadwin Stephenson’s mansion where she could do the pregnancy tests, she immediately felt nervous.

“What do we do? Hadwin Stephenson, I’m so nervous!” said Lina as she could not help grabbing Hadwin Stephenson’s hand.

However, she realized the layer of sweat in his palm once she grabbed his hand. She immediately looked at him in surprise. “Are you… nervous too?” “Yeah, I’m nervous,” he said.

Yes. He had never been this nervous before. He had never felt so nervous even when he counterattacked and won the place. as the Stephenson family’s patriarch!

However, now he was nervous about whether she was pregnant.

She got less nervous when she saw him so nervous. “Alright, alright, calm down. It’s just a pregnancy test. Just wait!” She was now the one to comfort him.

Hadwin Stephenson stood at the bathroom door, giving a wry.

smile as he looked down at his hands. He would never have believed that one day he would get so nervous.

He was even feeling so perturbed at this moment.

‘If she’s really pregnant, that’ll just bind her to me even more. Even if it means… I’m using our child!’ However, he was also afraid that she was pregnant. ‘If she’s pregnant, then maybe she’ll be involved in the Stephenson family’s… ‘The Stephenson family is…” Just as Hadwin Stephenson was in a dilemma, Lina suddenly pushed the bathroom door open. However, she did not leave the bathroom. She just poked her head out and said, “Well… I… I don’t think I’m pregnant. I think my period just came.” Hadwin Stephenson was stunned and took a while to realize what she was saying.

‘Not pregnant…’ He seemed to feel a little disappointed but felt that maybe it was for the best for now.

He had been careless and never used contraception with her, almost dragging her into dang

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1029-“Are you disappointed?” Lina asked in a mutter.

Hadwin Stephenson smiled faintly and said, “It’s alright if you’re not pregnant. We’ll have children in a few years. Alright, you can come out.” Lina said helplessly, “I can’t! I’m having my period and I don’t have any sanitary pads with me. Why don’t you go out and buy me some?” Hadwin Stephenson’s expression froze. “Buy you some sanitary pads?” It was the second time his voice went out of tune tonight.

“Yeah. Do you want me to come out all bloody?” she said, emphasizing the word ‘bloody’ “I’ll ask my servants to buy some,” he said.

She quickly said, “No! It’s embarrassing to get your servant to buy such a thing. Why don’t you buy it yourself? You know what? When I was in school, I envied girls who had boyfriends who would buy sanitary pads for them. I even imagined having a boyfriend who would buy some for me.” Hadwin Stephenson could not understand why she would envy having a boyfriend who would buy her sanitary pads ‘Are sanitary pads, uh, that important?’ However, when he saw the expectation in her eyes, Hadwin. Stephenson knew he would give in again this time.

Therefore, he could only say, “Wait here.” “No problem!” She immediately smiled sweetly and added, “Buy me night use pads from Whisper!” Hadwin Stephenson was rendered speechless and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It seemed he kept buying things he did not usually need tonight. The problem was… he kept getting weird looks from people.

When Hadwin Stephenson was at the check-out counter with two packs of sanitary pads, he was once again greeted by a strange look from the cashier.

After paying the bill, he heard the cashier say to the cashier beside her, “Did you see that? That guy just bought sanitary pads!” “He probably bought them for his girlfriend or his wife.” “Hey, a man who’s willing to buy sanitary pads is a good man!” “I’m so envious of that woman!” Therefore, Hadwin Stephenson realized it was not Lina’s logic.

that was bizarre but women’s in general!

When Lina came out of the bathroom after putting on the sanitary pad, she was clutching her stomach. She frowned slightly, her face looking paler than before.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Hadwin Stephenson asked with concern.

“Just a little stomach ache,” said Lina. She met Hadwin Stephenson’s concerned eyes and hurriedly explained, “Don’t worry. I get cramps the first two days of my period!” He pondered for a moment and asked, “What would make your feel better?” “I feel better after drinking some brown sugar ginger tea, but do you, uh, have the ingredients?” she asked.

“I’ll get someone to buy some right away if I don’t have them!” he said. He ordered his servant to make some brown sugar ginger tea while making her lie down on the couch with a cushion on her waist and a little blanket over her stomach to make her feel comfortable.

My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict Chapter 1030-Lina immediately felt like she was being spoiled. ‘Come to think of it, besides my parents, only Hadwin Stephenson would spoil me like this!” She leaned on the couch as she hummed. Hadwin Stephenson saw the grimace on her face and asked, “Does it hurt a lot?” “Yes.” She nodded miserably. “You men are lucky that your don’t have to suffer this pain.” He raised his hand and gently rubbed it against her tummy.

“Does this help?” “Um. That’s pretty good. Go on and let me enjoy a while,” she said.

Therefore, the Stephenson family’s patriarch continued to gently rub a woman’s tummy as he bent a little while sitting on the couch.

Lina was enjoying herself. Moments later, she comfortably narrowed her eyes and yelled, “Hey, don’t stop. Keep going… Wow, you have skills.” Hadwin Stephenson was rendered speechless. ‘Does she have any idea how ambiguous her words sound?” That way, she would not have to bother saying she wanted to rest at home every time she had period cramps!

Just then, the servant’s voice rang in her ears. “Mr. Stephenson, the brown sugar ginger tea is ready.” Lina immediately opened her eyes and said to the servant, “Give it to me.” The servant then handed her the enamel cup filled with the drink.

“You can go,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

The servant responded, but before she left, she could not help. stealing a glance at the two people, feeling that there was about to be new gossip.

Lina lowered her head and started to drink her brown sugar ginger tea.

“Take your time. Be careful,” said Hadwin Stephenson.

“Got it,” she muttered. After taking a small sip, she realized the temperature was acceptable and continued sipping it in small sips.

Sometimes she thought he paid more attention to the little things than her mother, so that was probably why she felt spoiled.

“Feeling better?” he asked after a while, his beautiful eyes full of concern for her.

She felt as if she was being seduced, and her heart started.

racing. If she was not in this unfavorable condition today, she might have pressed him on the couch and had her way with him.

“What’s the matter?” he asked again after seeing that she was silent.

“Ah, no-nothing. I feel much better now,” she said quickly, getting rid of the jumble of thoughts in her head. ‘Um, it seems. that I easily turn into a pervert in front of him!”
