He glanced at her. Whatever was on her mind was written all over her face.
Pressing his thin lips slightly, Hadwin Stephenson drove Lina to the Stephenson familyâs mansion.
Lina froze. Hesitation and worry appeared on her face.
Hadwin Stephenson said, âDonât worry. My mother doesnât live here, and she seldom comes over.
Besides, Iâve already told her not to touch you. At least, she wonât touch you for now.â
âFor now?â Lina bit her lip.
âDoes that mean his mother will still give me trouble in the future?â
She did not mind but was worried the baby would get hurt.
âAs long as you donât abort the baby in your belly, theyâll be born safely!â said Hadwin Stephenson.
Lina froze and looked at him expectantly. âAre you going to accept the baby? You-â
214 âTheyâre my child. Of course, Iâll accept them, but that doesnât mean Iâll accept youâ His words dimmed the light in her eyes as if they had rained on her parade.
However, Lina also told herself that their one-month arrangement had just started. She still had time.
Besides, he was much nicer to her now than when she first arrived in J City. As long as he had feelings for her, she would not give up!
Lina followed Hadwin Stephenson out of the car and entered Stephenson Residence.
When the maids there saw the redness and swelling on Linaâs face, they were calm. There was no other look on their face, and they did not even peek at her. They looked as if their master had just brought back an ordinary guest.
This actually made Lina more comfortable. It seemed that the Stephenson familyâs maids were well trained.
âArrange a guest room for Miss Sweeney,â Hadwin Stephenson told the butler.
âOkay,â the butler replied.
âWell, can you please have me stay in a room closer to Hadwinâs bedroom?â Lina hurriedly added a condition. When 6 she met Hadwin Stephensonâs gaze, she smiled meekly. âYour 314 home is quite big and itâs⦠Itâs my first time here. Iâm scared of getting lost. If i were closer to your bedroom, itâd be easier for me to find you if anything happens.â
Hadwin Stephenson pursed his thin lips as he stared at Lina.
Lina only found her swollen cheeks hotter now.
Moments later, Hadwin Stephenson finally restrained his gaze and said to the butler, âDo whatever she wants.â
âYes,â the butler answered, but they were secretly shocked. Though Miss Sweeney looked like a mess, she was probably important to Mr. Stephenson.
When the butler was about to leave, they heard Lina say to Hadwin Stephenson, âHadwin, can you ask your driver to go to the small hotel Iâm staying in and get my pregnancy pillow? I have to sleep with a pregnancy pillow now. Itâs uncomfortable to sleep without it.â
The butler nearly slipped and fell over.
âPregnancy pillow? Is this lady pregnant? And whose baby would that be?
