Chapter 497

As for her, she had no way of refuting it, Finally, Lina Sweeney brought Hadwin Stephenson to her house.

At the Sweeney household. Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney welcomed Hadwin Stephenson warmly and asked him to join them for dinner.

Hadwin Stephenson agreed readily, Lina Sweeney, on the other hand, was secretly fearful upon hearing that. She worried that the longer Hadwin Stephenson stayed, the higher the chance for him to have a slip of the tongue when he chatted with her parents.

After dinner, Lina Sweeney quickly pulled Hadwin Stephenson into her room and asked, “When are you going back?”

“You’re hoping that I leave as soon as possible?” he asked with his brows raised.

She laughed dryly. “I’m afraid that my parents’ overzealous enthusiasm will irk you. They think you’re my real boyfriend, so they’ll catch all opportunities to dig more information about you.”

“It’s not annoying at all. Sometimes, I find it interesting to have a chat with them,” Hadwin Stephenson said. When he conversed with her parents, he could find out many things.

about Lina Sweeney as well.

He had found out about her childhood and other memorable experiences. He could hear more about her through the conversations with her parents.

“One more thing… Regardless of what happens in the future, you must always remember to give me a call. You’re not allowed to look for Grace anymore,” Hadwin Stephenson said.

“Grace is my friend. It’s normal for me to find her when I get into trouble.” She argued.

He chuckled, but it was more like a mocking tone. If you look for Grace again, believe me when I say that Jason will get someone to get rid of you.”

Lina Sweeney shuddered. “Aren’t you exaggerating it?”

Hadwin Stephenson raised his brows. “Exaggerating? Jason is not a generous man. The last time we went to S City together, I could tell how important Grace is to him. The closer you are to Grace, I’m guessing that his jealousy will rise exponentially as well.”

Lina Sweeney thought about the feelings she felt inside the car earlier. At that time, she did feel that Jason seemed jealous of her. Could it be real… “But I’m a girl!” She complained.

“Does it matter if you’re a girl? Those adult comics that you used to read were about two men. So tell me why women can’t do the same thing?”

“…” Lina Sweeney felt that his statement was like a slap to her face. However, she understood that her relationship with Grace was pure friendship. “Why don’t… I can swear in front of Jason that my feelings for Grace are platonic.” Lina Sweeney sheepishly suggested.

Her words made Hadwin Stephenson react with a huge eye roll.

“As long as the first person you think of is me and not Grace. when you’re in trouble, then Jason won’t have any other ideas.”

Come to think of it, was he not jealous of her relationship with Grace as well? Although he knew they were just friends, he still felt uncomfortable about it.

Just like years ago when she immediately returned because of Grace’s case, leaving him only a short farewell note.

Lina Sweeney could only nod her head obediently. In this generation, even women found it difficult to maintain a friendship.

Hadwin Stephenson then said, “I’ll get the lawyers to meet with you later to follow up with your case.”

“Thanks a lot!” She immediately thanked him. After all, with the aid of a lawyer, she did not have to go through much trouble.

“Also… Don’t your colleagues know that you have a boyfriend?”
