Although Hadwin Stephenson held 35 percent of the shares, much more than Emily Flowersâs, if most of the shareholders were taking Emily Flowersâs side, Hadwin Stephenson was likely to lose.
Grace had been following the news these days.
After coming back from L City, she did not tell Jason that she had gone there. She had also told the children not to tell him. It was just a secret that belonged to them!
Jason did not ask any questions. It was as if she never took the children away for a few days.
âDo you think Hadwin Stephenson will win?â Grace asked Jason.
âI donât know. You never know who will win until the last minute,â Jason said indifferently.
âIf Hadwin Stephensonâs mother defeats him, should we give him a hand?â asked Grace. After all, Hadwin Stephenson and her best friend had gotten back together, so she wanted Hadwin Stephenson to win, of course.
âDid Lina ask you to help?â asked Jason.
Stephenson asked her not to worry.â
Jason smiled. âSince Hadwin Stephenson said so, he has a backup plan. You have nothing to worry about.â
Grace thought about it and agreed, so she said nothing more and got up to see if the children were asleep.
She had just gotten up when he grabbed her from behind. She could not even take her first step. She instantly fell into his arms.
âWhatâs the matter, Jay?â she asked.
âDid you miss me when you were gone?â His voice rang in her ears as his thin lips parted gently and sucked on her earlobe.
Grace instantly blushed as her ears burned. âI⦠I did miss you.â If it were not for their agreement about not telling him whenever she went to see Mrs. Watts, she probably would have video called him from time to time when she was in L City.
âHow much did you miss me?â His lips ran down her ears, neck, and shoulders while his fingers unzipped her dress.
The dress she was wearing today had a zip at the back, which made it easier for him to undo her dress.
