Besides, if a man like him could get in danger, it did not matter whether she kneeled or not.
Even if she were to break her legs kneeling, it would not do him any good.
Her silence darkened his eyes. Without another word, he started the car and drove away.
Just then, Grace felt nothing but silence and repression in the car.
Grace went to Lina Sweeney the next day, and the two found a table at a restaurant near Lina
Sweeney’s house. Looking at her best friend’s obvious dark eye circles, Grace reckoned she did not
sleep well last night.
“What happened after you got home yesterday?” Grace asked.
“Don’t go there. My parents were preparing a ransom and almost made me kneel on the washboard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhen I got home,” Lina Sweeney said.
Grace’s face was full of surprise. “Why? You didn’t tell them about Hadwin Stephenson?”
“Uh. I told them that
Sweeney said. She did not have the guts to tell her parents the truth.
If her parents knew that she had ‘slept’ with a man abroad, they would have done more than just roast
her last night. Maybe her old man would have beaten her with a rolling pin.
“What is it with you and Hadwin Stephenson? Why did he take you away like that yesterday?” Grace
asked the biggest question in her mind.
Also yesterday, after seeing Hadwin Stephenson, she found
out that this man was the same man she had seen through the window of the restaurant when she was
having dinner with Lina.
Therefore, Hadwin Stephenson had been stalking Lina for a while
now!
Lina Sweeney blushed a little and looked as if she could not tell her.
“If you can’t talk about it…”
“Hey, there’s nothing I can’t say,” Lina Sweeney said and roughly told Grace what had happened back
then. “… Then, I got your call and came back. I thought he would be quite open about it, having grown
up abroad. I thought he probably wouldn’t take it seriously. Who knew… Uh, he seems to think I’m a
playgirl.”
Lina Sweeney felt a little embarrassed at this point.

woman was a jerk. She said sweet words to an innocent, enthusiastic man and ran away after having

o’clock TV dramas!
Grace was stunned after hearing the story of her best friend and Hadwin Stephenson. According to
Jason, Hadwin Stephenson was not a simple guy. He was scheming and manipulative, but her best
friend…
Who would believe a thing like that?
“He has been looking for you for years?” Grace asked.
“I guess so…” Lina Sweeney said, embarrassed.
“Although we saved you from him yesterday, I don’t think he’ll leave it at that,” Grace said. “How are
you going to handle your relationship with him?”
Lina Sweeney scratched her head in distress. “I don’t know. Let’s take one step at a time.” Speaking of
which, her phone was still with Hadwin Stephenson. She had to buy another one later and report the
loss of her phone number.
