“I won’t misunderstand. I know the baby in your belly must be mine, and you won’t have that kind of relationship

“Are you sure… you won’t misunderstand?” she muttered.
He said, “Yes, because I’m the only one you love, aren’t I?”
When Lina heard that, she suddenly cried and embraced Hadwin Stephenson’s neck. She started crying on his
shoulder “I… I only love you… Hadwin, you… You’re the only one I’ve ever loved. I… I’ve never been intimate with

Hadwin Stephenson looked at the sleeping figure, and tender affection flashed across his eyes.
He placed her carefully on the couch and covered her with a thin blanket.
It was not until he finished doing all these that his face darkened. The incident might seem to be only one post from
Anthony Sherman, but it was definitely not accidental that it went viral. Someone did it on purpose.
‘But who’s the mastermind behind Anthony Sherman? Who on earth wants Lina to bear this disgrace?’

unconsciously held his hand, making him stop in his tracks.
“Hadwin… Let’s not… misunderstand each other anymore…

Hadwin Stephenson looked down blankly at her uneasy sleeping face and sat down again. “Don’t worry. I won’t let
anyone who harms you off the hook. It has always been this way, and it will always… be this way.”
When Lina woke up, she found herself holding Hadwin Stephenson’s hand while he sat next to the couch, maintainin

He smiled faintly. “I’m reluctant to do that.”
She froze. “You’re reluctant?”
“Yes, you still held my hand even when you had fallen asleep. It made me feel like you couldn’t live without me and

Lina’s face could not help redden slightly, but then she seemed to recall something and shouted, “Oh, yes. My
parents…”
“I got someone to pick up your parents and send them to my private mansion. Don’t worry. They won’t be
disturbed!”
Lina was relieved. ‘As long as my parents won’t be disturbed by the reporters.
