    Chapter 558


    Lina Sweeney almost choked on the food in her mouth. She


    managed to swallow the food in her mouth and looked up into Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes. His eyes


    were staring deeply at


    her now as if he wanted to see through her.


    “Well…” She bit her lip and managed toe up with a


    reason. “Because sometimes… You look a little too indifferent,


    just like… Uh, a lotus. Yes, a lotus can only be appreciated and


    not messed around with, so… I… I don’t dare to do anything.


    intimate with you.”


    As she spoke, she felt a pang of guilt as she thought of their


    intimate moment back then. Look at what she had gotten herself into because of it! Even if she had


    some funny ideas,


    she did not dare to act on them!


    ‘Bah! What funny ideas?’ Lina Sweeney quickly told herself that she did not want to get into any more


    trouble with him.


    “Why don’t you just do it anyway?” he asked, amused.


    She was shocked. If she knew that her mistakes in the past would result in this, she would not have


    gotten drunk even if she would be killed. “I was drunk. As you know, I’m not a very good drinker. I get


    drunk easily, and when I’m drunk, I don’t


    have much control over my behavior. I… I didn’t mean it…”


    Her voice got softer and softer while his eyes grew colder and colder. He was giving her a strange


    sense of dread. Even her saliva was now stuck in her throat.


    “That’s true. If you had meant it, you wouldn’t have left the


    next day without saying goodbye,” he said.


    She felt as if she had been struck again,


    He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a bottle of wine. Then,


    he opened it and offered her a ss.


    She blinked and looked at the wine in front of her. Surely, he


    was not…


    “Yes,” he said lightly.


    “I get drunk easily. If I’m drunk, I’ll act out and things will get messy again,” she said with an


    embarrassed look.


    “Then I’d like to see how out of control you’ll be. Don’t worry, if


    you’re really drunk this time, I’ll allow you to mess around with


    me and not hold you ountable,” he said.


    Boom!


    Her face went red instantly. Did the man know what he was


    talking about? He was simply seducing her with his words!


    Hadwin Stephenson paid no more attention to Lina Sweeney. He poured himself another ss of wine


    and drank it.


    Perhaps the only way to quell his anger was to drink and tell


    himself not to care too much about this heartless woman!


    Lina Sweeney got drunk anyway. She drank the first ss


    under Hadwin Stephenson’s semi-threat. As soon as she


    drank it, she found the bottle of red wine delicious and drank


    ss after ss. By the time she found out that she had a


    little too much to drink, she was already a little drunk.


    “What time… Is it? I… I should go back…” Lina Sweeney staggered to her feet. If she did not go back,


    her parents


    would lecture her again.


    “A little over ten o ‘clock. I’ll take you back.” Hadwin.


    Stephenson held Lina Sweeney and looked at her drunken.


    appearance. It reminded him of how drunk she was back.


    then.


    “If… If I don’t behave myself and offend youter, you… You can just throw me out of the car…” she


    muttered tongue-tied, unable to speak clearly. Her eyes were now misty.

    He nced at her but said nothing. He led her out of the


    restaurant. The Stephenson family’s driver was already waiting outside the restaurant.


    Hadwin Stephenson helped Lina Sweeney into the car and said to the driver, “To Miss Sweeney’s


    house.”


    The driver drove the car slowly. Hadwin Stephenson looked at Lina Sweeney who was leaning against


    him and sitting sideways on his side. Now, her…
