âI saved her because she saved Grace before,â said Jason.
If Lina were not Graceâs best friend, he probably would not even look twice if she died in front of him.
âThank you anyway. I owe you a favor. If you ever need me, Iâll help you if I can,â said Hadwin Stephenson. It was unusual for a man like him to give such a promise. âIâll drink first!â
With that said, he raised his glass and finished it.
Seeing this, Jason also raised his glass and downed it.
âIf you do think that you owe me a favor, then you might as well keep an eye on Lina in the future. Donât let her take Grace to watch strippers and other things like that,â said Jason.
However, he lowered his volume when he said this so that the two women and four children could not hear him. After all, it was not a good thing.
Hadwin Stephensonâs face darkened at the sound of it. He was frustrated with Linaâs hobbies too, but he had no way of stopping her.
Once that woman was affectionate to him and showed him a pitiful look, he would surrender.
He would even help her buy tickets, take her to meet her idols, 2/3 and ask for autographs, posters, and the likes.
She seemed to be obsessed with another boy band recently. Hadwin Stephenson suspected that it would not be long before she asked for signed posters, ask to take photos with them, or even ask to meet them.
Therefore, Hadwin Stephenson could only say, âIâll⦠try my best.â
âTry your best?â Jason raised his eyebrows slightly.
âSheâs pregnant. Pregnant women are supposed to be happy, and some things will have to wait until she delivers the baby,â Hadwin Stephenson said a little awkwardly.
âWill you really be able to keep an eye on her once the baby is born?â asked Jason.
âI think so.â However, even Hadwin Stephenson could feel his lack of confidence when he said that.
âOkay. Hopefully, we wonât meet in a place like that and have to take our own women home again next time,â said Jason.
Hadwin Stephenson was speechless, thinking of several âunpleasantâ experiences.
âThere wonât be a next time,â replied Hadwin Stephenson.
He only hoped Linaâs enthusiasm for those idols and celebrities could lessen after she gave birth. He could not help shuddering at the thought of her fangirling with their child.
The thought of it was terrifying!
When Lina and Hadwin Stephenson returned to the car after dinner, Lina asked, âWhat did you and Jason talk about at dinner? You didnât look so good.â
âNothing, just a casual chat,â said Hadwin Stephenson.
âOh, looking at Graceâs three children today, I really want our baby to be born and grow up soon so that I can do a lot of things with them,â Lina said emotionally.
âWhat do you want to do with the baby?â Hadwin Stephenson asked casually.
