âThe paint on this car is made from special materials. Itâs a new type of paint that Stephenson Group has been researching in the last few years. There are very few in production, so itâs precious.
Besides, the entire car needs to be repainted after getting scratched, hence the higher cost,â the driver answered promptly.
Line felt like she was being conned. âSpecial materials that were being developed by Stephenson Group. In other words, how much it costs is up to Hadwin Stephenson!â

âMiss Sweeney, Miss Sheeney. The derâs ce vas sill Losars We came the sess âMiss Sweeney, if you want to settle this privately, you can talk to Mr. Stephenson,â the driver said.
Lina looked at the back seat of the car where Hadwin Stephenson was. She bit her lip and got out of the car with a grimace. She walked up to Hadwin Stephensonâs car, gently tapping on the window.
The car window rolled down, and Hadwin Stephenson was sitting in the back seat. He gave a small smile at Lina and said, âI thought you didnât want to see me, but it seems that you do. Otherwise, you wouldnât have parked here and zoned out, right?â
âNo. I was just distracted andâ¦â
She suddenly stopped halfway through her words when she saw his face darkening. Lina thought of how her car had grazed his car, so she swallowed the rest of her words and said weakly, âWell⦠why donât we talk about compensation first? Iâm only insured for 500,000 dollars. Can youâ¦â
âNo,â he said right away.
ââ¦â She instantly felt like she had been met with a sharp rebuff. âCome on. Not long ago, this man talked about how he loves me and canât get over me. But now, he wonât even give me a bargain.â
âDo you think just because I love you, I should let you have your way and turn a blind eye to this problem?â Hadwin Stephenson asked right away as if he had seen through Linaâs mind.
She looked embarrassed. âUh, Iâm not asking you to turn a blind eye. Itâs just that⦠I hope youâll accept 500,000 dollars as compensation as thatâs the limit for my insurance coverage.â
âIf you want to report this to the traffic police and settle this formally, youâll have to pay whatever amount you owe. If you want to settle this privatelyâ¦â
Her eyes lit up. âWhat about it?â
âThen get in the car and have a meal with me. Weâll talk about it after we eat,â said Hadwin Stephenson.
âHave a meal with him?â
âWhat about my car?â
Hadwin Stephenson said lightly, âSomeone will park your car in the underground parking lot, of course.
You wonât lose it. Itâs up to you whether to get in the car.â
Lina struggled for a while before finally succumbing to the reality of the situation. She opened the car door and got in.
The car slowly moved. Lina looked at Hadwin Stephenson, who was sitting beside her. As usual, he was wearing a suit, and his hair was neatly combed. He looked like a perfect gentleman.
Lina got a little antsy when she thought of how she was carrying their child right now.
âHow would he react if he finds out Iâm pregnant?â
