Chapter 348
The call was finally over and Grace said, “What did your mother say to you? You look so miserable that you even mentioned kneeling on a keyboard.”
“What else can it be? Blind dates,” Lina Sweeney said as she
rolled her eyes. “My mother said that this man is a good catch. She managed to grab him from the other aunts so that I can have
a go first.”
Lina Sweeney was speechless with her mother’s thinking,
Her mother seemed to think that if she could not get married in
these two years, she might never get married.
“Then go and meet him. Think of it as an opportunity,” said Grace
after thinking about it for a moment.
“No, I’m frustrated enough. I might go crazy if I go on another blind date.” Lina Sweeney wanted to vomit blood every time she thought of how her mother pestered her to go on blind dates.
“Why? Is there something else?” asked Grace.
Lina Sweeney looked at her best friend before saying, “Will it surprise you if I tell you I’m dating Hadwin Stephenson?”
Grace almost choked on her own spit. “You’re dating Hadwin Stephenson? Didn’t you say that he was going to get even with
“Yes, get even.” Lina Sweeney nodded.
“Then how…”
“He probably wants us to date first, and after I fall in love with him, he’ll kick me aside and give me a taste of falling into hell from heaven. Isn’t that what they do on TV dramas?” said Linal
Sweeney.
However, the question was would Hadwin Stephenson take his revenge in such a childish way? Grace was highly skeptical about this. She heard Jason mention that Hadwin Stephenson was cruel. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a bastard, to inherit the Stephenson family and become the Stephenson
family’s patriarch.
Even the lawful mistress of the Stephenson family and her two sons were at Hadwin Stephenson’s disposal.
“Do you think so?” asked Grace.
“What else can it be?” Lina Sweeney shrugged. “Anyway, I’ve decided that it’s all right if he wants to take his revenge this way. I’ll date him for a few months, then pretend to fall in love with him. When he dumps me, I’ll act like I’m heartbroken or something. That way, he’ll probably feel better and let me go.”
Grace was impressed with her best friend’s thinking. Could she fool a man like Hadwin Stephenson by pretending?
The man had probably experienced all the cheating and dirty tricks since childhood and should have a pair of eyes that could
“Didn’t it occur to you that he might still be… in love with you?”
Grace hesitated a little before saying. She thought of the first time she saw Hadwin Stephenson staring at her best friend through
the glass window and of the time she and Jason went to the Stephenson mansion to save her best friend.
Although Hadwin Stephenson had ‘kidnapped’ Lina to his
mansion, Lina was unharmed.
If Hadwin Stephenson wanted revenge, then Lina’s fate now
would have been a lot worse.
