âWhy does she influence my mood so easily?â
Hadwin Stephenson gasped deeply. Then, he closed his eyes and mumbled, âDoes she really love me just because she said so? Perhaps all she wants is a legitimate identity for the child.â
Lina got back to the hotel, where Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney were waiting anxiously. When they saw that their daughter had returned, they hurriedly went over and asked, âHow was it? Hadwinâ¦â
Lina said, âHe still wonât forgive me or accept me. But I wonât give up. Iâll go look for him again tomorrow.â
Mr. Sweeney sighed, while Mrs. Sweeney looked at her daughter sadly. âBut if he keeps refusing to accept you, then youâ¦â
She comforted her mother, saying, âMom, donât worry. Iâm not going to go after him shamelessly, take things too hard, or do anything extreme. If Hadwin still wonât accept me after Iâve tried everything, then⦠Then Iâll go back to Emerald City with you and be a single mother. Iâll stay with you and the baby for the rest of my life.â
âNonsense. 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!â 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.
âAlright, Mom. Weâll talk about it later.â 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.
âIâm⦠here to see your president,â said Lina.
âJust go. Even if you know the president, itâs clear he doesnât want to see you. Or you can set an appointment with the president, then we can let you in said the security guard 373 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 âdevotedâ 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 presidentâs office after the early morning company meeting was over.
He immediately stopped walking, and surprise flashed across his eyes.
âWhat is she doing here?â Hadwin Stephenson asked the secretary with an indifferent expression.
The secretary said in frustration, âUh, President, your⦠ex-girlfriend said she left something in your possession when she broke up with you. She said sheâll call the police if you donât return it, so⦠I just let her wait here.â
