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.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Hadwin Stephensonâs voice rang in her ears.
Lina then instantly came to her senses. âYou didnât have to say that just to silence the reporters. The heir of the Stephenson family⦠Thatâs tooâ¦â For a moment, Lina had no idea how to describe it.
Hadwin Stephenson smiled. âIf your child isnât the heir of the Stephenson family, then whose child should be the heir of the Stephenson family?â
Lina froze. She heard Hadwin Stephenson continue saying, âLina, youâll 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.â
Linaâs eyes could not help watering. Although the man kept refusing to tell her he had âforgivenâ her, he kept showing her how much he loved her and that they were bound to be together with his actions.
âHadwin, falling in love with you is indeed amazing,â said Lina. 2/3 Hadwin Stephenson raised his hand to gently wipe Linaâs wet eyes. âAlright, stay in the mansion for a few days. You have nothing to worry or think about. Iâll take care of everything.â
âOkay.â Her eyes were full of trust for him. Moments later, she added, âBut I donât know why Anthony Sherman did this. He doesnât really like me that much. He just likes me a little, but⦠that affection looks more like friendship to me.ââ
âDonât think about it if you canât understand it. Weâll know after we look into it,â Hadwin Stephenson said grimly.
âWhat Iâm more curious about is whoâs behind Anthony Sherman. Is it what I think it is? Andâ¦! 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 Linaâs belly would be the heir of the Stephenson family. That came as a relief to Grace.
However, she still called her best friend. âWhat happened? Why did Anthony Sherman spread rumors on purpose? He doesnât strike me as someone like thatâ
