However, she did not feel like she was being treated like.
a delicate treasure. She just felt like she could die at any moment.
He seemed satisfied with her answer, so he turned and walked.
on while she hurried after him.
As she walked out of the park, her stomach gave an untimely loud ‘purr’.
“Are you hungry?” asked Hadwin Stephenson.
“A little,” she answered, slightly embarra**ed. She looked at his expression which looked calm. She then said, “Why don’t we… eat here? There are a lot of gourmet restaurants around here.”
He glanced sideways at her. Her eyes were shining right now. Her eyes were as bright as ever when it came to food.
When they were abroad, she had always asked him about the local specialties and insisted that he take her there to have a try.
“Come on,” he said. Sure enough, a look of joy instantly came over her face.
She looked just like a greedy piglet.
Hadwin Stephenson was not sure which restaurant was good in the area, but this did not stop Lina Sweeney from taking him to a restaurant she liked.
“This restaurant serves some special dishes, some of which you can’t find in other restaurants, only here.” Once they were in the restaurant, Lina Sweeney took the menu and began to order enthusiastically.
She started to introduce the dishes as she ordered. When she was halfway through, she found Hadwin Stephenson staring at her gloomily.
“Uh. Sorry, I’m talking too much,” she said.
“It’s all right. You can continue, I’ll just listen,” Hadwin Stephenson said lightly.
Lina Sweeney touched her nose but did not know what to say all of a sudden. “Well… Why are you here today?” she asked as she did not know what to say. However, she wanted to bite her tongue as soon as she said it.
It was not easy for her to get past the blind date issue, and now, she was mentioning it herself.
Sure enough, he looked at her and said, “If I hadn’t come, would you have had dinner with that man?”
Her face was red from choking. “How… can that be?” However, she was a little guilty of her answer. After all, she had meant to invite him to dinner as an apology.
Fortunately, that plan fell through. Thinking of the rude things. the man had said to her, Lina Sweeney suddenly felt a little.
regretful for not punching him just now.
“Since your family wants to set you up on a blind date, do they have any requirements for the suitor?” He seemed to ask casually.
“Just the general requirements-owns a house, has a stable job, no less than 170cm in height, and so on,” she said. She did not care if he owned a house, because it was all right for her to live in a rented house. Besides, they could pool their money to buy one after they got married.
age, she
However, according to her mother’s theory, with her could still demand a man with his own house. If it was a few years later, she would not even have the right to demand so.
Lina Sweeney was also a little speechless at her mother’s theory. She never thought a woman’s age was so much of a problem. Many so-called leftover women still managed to find the love they wanted in the end, did they not?
When she said so, her mother retorted, “That’s because they have the money, looks, and education. What do you have?”
Fine, it seemed that she was indeed her mother’s daughter. “Well, at least I have a college degree and am not uneducated.” She could not help but redress the injustice for her education.
“College students are now running all over the place. A billboard will be able to hit several college students if it fell. What’s the use of your college degree? You could have gone abroad to study for a master’s degree, but if it hadn’t been for Grace, you wouldn’t be a mere designer now.”
Lina Sweeney knew her mother would always mention Grace when it came to this, but she did not regret it. Grace had been alone back then. If she had not come back, there would be no one left to help Grace.
Unfortunately, she did not help Grace win the case and ended up sending her to prison for three years.
At the thought of this, Lina Sweeney’s heart once again felt heavy.
“What are you thinking?” An elegant male voice rang in her ear, and Lina Sweeney suddenly found that she got a little distracted with thoughts of Grace’s case.
“Thinking of…” She suddenly shuddered, her eyes staring straight at the person in front of her. Come to think of it,
Hadwin Stephenson was now the patriarch of the Stephenson family. He would of course have his contacts and connections.
If Hadwin Stephenson would help her investigate Grace’s case, it would be easier to get some useful leads.
With that, the light in her eyes got brighter. She looked at Hadwin Stephenson like she was looking at a freshly baked bun.
“Well… I know I did you wrong and I admit to everything you said. I promise I’ll do whatever you want, but… can you do me a little favor while we’re dating?” Lina Sweeney looked at him.
expectantly.
“A favor?” Hadwin Stephenson was a little surprised. “What ‘little favor’ do you want me to do for you?” Judging by her brown-nosing look, it was probably not that little.
“Well, my friend Grace, the one who came to find me with Jason the other day… She was wrongly convicted of a crime and spent three years in prison, but she was actually wronged. We just never found evidence to help her reverse the case. There have been some clues lately. Can you please follow these clues and see if you can find anything that will help reverse the case?” said Lina Sweeney.
Hadwin Stephenson did not expect that her favor was to help Grace.
“She’s on good terms with Jason. Why is it that instead of asking Jason for help to reverse the case, she asked you to go through so much trouble?”
“Hey, Grace doesn’t know I’m asking you for help. She didn’t ask Jason because…” Lina Sweeney paused. After all, it was her best friend’s private matter, and Jason’s current relationship with her best friend was quite complicated. She ended up saying, “I don’t think she would want to ask Jason. for help with the case. After all, she was claimed to have been drunk driving and killed Jason’s fiancée, Jennifer Atkinson.”
Hadwin Stephenson narrowed his eyes and suddenly chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?” Lina Sweeney frowned.
“I just thought their relationship was kind of interesting,” Hadwin Stephenson said with a smile. “However, since the judge ruled your friend to have killed someone because she was drunk driving, why do you think she was wronged?”
“I’m sure Grace won’t lie. She said she didn’t drink that day and it was Jennifer Atkinson’s car that rushed toward her.
