Chapter 348
My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!
The call was finally over and Grace said, âWhat did your mother say to you? You look so miserable that you even mentioned kneeling on a keyboard.â
âWhat else can it be? Blind dates,â Lina Sweeney said as she rolled her eyes. âMy mother said that this man is a good catch. She managed to grab him from the other aunts so that I can have a go first.â
Lina Sweeney was speechless with her motherâs thinking, Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in these two years, she might never get married.
âThen go and meet him. Think of it as an opportunity,â said Grace after thinking about it for a moment.
âNo, Iâm frustrated enough. I might go crazy if I go on another blind date.â Lina Sweeney wanted to vomit blood every time she thought of how her mother pestered her to go on blind dates.
âWhy? Is there something else?â asked Grace.
Lina Sweeney looked at her best friend before saying, âWill it surprise you if I tell you Iâm dating Hadwin Stephenson?â
Grace almost choked on her own spit. âYouâre dating Hadwin Stephenson? Didnât you say that he was going to get even with âYes, get even.â Lina Sweeney nodded.
âThen howâ¦â
âHe probably wants us to date first, and after I fall in love with him, heâll kick me aside and give me a taste of falling into hell from heaven. Isnât that what they do on TV dramas?â said Linal Sweeney.
However, the question was would Hadwin Stephenson take his revenge in such a childish way? Grace was highly skeptical about this. She heard Jason mention that Hadwin Stephenson was cruel.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a bastard, to inherit the Stephenson family and become the Stephenson familyâs patriarch.
Even the lawful mistress of the Stephenson family and her two sons were at Hadwin Stephensonâs disposal.
âDo you think so?â asked Grace.
âWhat else can it be?â Lina Sweeney shrugged. âAnyway, Iâve decided that itâs all right if he wants to take his revenge this way. Iâll date him for a few months, then pretend to fall in love with him. When he dumps me, Iâll act like Iâm heartbroken or something. That way, heâll probably feel better and let me go.â
Grace was impressed with her best friendâs thinking. Could she fool a man like Hadwin Stephenson by pretending?
The man had probably experienced all the cheating and dirty tricks since childhood and should have a pair of eyes that could âDidnât it occur to you that he might still be⦠in love with you?â
Grace hesitated a little before saying. She thought of the first time she saw Hadwin Stephenson staring at her best friend through the glass window and of the time she and Jason went to the Stephenson mansion to save her best friend.
Although Hadwin Stephenson had âkidnappedâ Lina to his mansion, Lina was unharmed.
If Hadwin Stephenson wanted revenge, then Linaâs fate now would have been a lot worse.
