Grace was relieved when she saw her confident smile. âI was afraid what they said would hurt you. But then again, have you and Hadwin Stephenson talked about getting married?â
âNot really, butâ¦â Lina smiled. âI know Iâm the only one Hadwin loves. He has never loved others, so I donât care when weâre getting married. I just want us to keep loving each other.â
âButâ¦â
âBesides, Iâm pregnant. I donât think Iâm in the right shape to get married now. Do you want me to hold the wedding ceremony with a big belly? I want to wear a beautiful wedding dress!â quipped Lina.
Therefore, Grace said nothing.
At noon, the four of them found a nearby restaurant and had lunch together in a private room.
Lina looked through the photos she took with the leading actors on her phone and asked Grace, âWhy donât I give you a set when I print them out?â
âSure,â Grace blurted out.
âSure?â Jason raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife. âWhatâs the matter? Are you going to keep them in a photo album?â
âItâs considered memorabilia too. Didnât you help me get autographs and take photos with celebrities before?â
âI remember that celebrity is good at acting and has starred in many good dramas. What about these two men? What have they starred in? Do you like their acting or⦠their looks?â
Jasonâs handsome face inched closer to Grace as he spoke.
His eyes were charming, and his breath smelled nice. Grace instantly felt her heart beat faster, and she seemed to be trapped in his gaze.
âHe⦠Heâs not jealous, is he?â
âAlthough theyâre rookies, theyâre good at acting. They only look okay thoughâ¦â she said. Even though the two leading actors were handsome, she could not admit it at such a time!
Besides, the leading actors were indeed pretty goodâlooking, but they were no match for Jay.
However, Lina counteracted her efforts. âJust okay? Grace, didnât you say they look pretty good and are your cup of tea? Why did youâ¦â
Lina only found the pressure in the private room heightening. She instantly shut up as if she just realized it.
âGosh. Thereâs a saying that you get dumb when youâre pregnant. Iâve gotten stupid from my pregnancy. Jasonâs already jealous, yet Iâm adding fuel to the fire by saying all these.â
All she could do was look at her best friend apologetically.
However, it was too late. Jasonâs dark eyes narrowed as he stared at Grace. âThey look pretty good and theyâre your cup of tea? Whatâs the matter? Do you like these two menâs appearances?â
âNo, no, theyâre my cup of tea, not Graceâs!â Lina said hurriedly. Since she had said the wrong thing, she would fix it.
Therefore, Lina tried hard to hurl mud at herself.
âOh? Theyâre your cup of tea?â A faint voice rang beside them, sounding jealous. It made Lina freeze instantly as she just realized Hadwin Stephenson was looking at her with jealousy!
