    All of a sudden, he sneered. “Because you have someone else


    now. Is it Anthony Sherman?”


    When he uttered the name, Lina’s expression changed.


    immediately. She had only mentioned Anthony Sherman’s first name during the phone call earlier, not


    hisst name.


    However, Hadwin Stephenson knew his full name.


    Which also meant… “You looked into him?”


    “So what if I did? What about you? How much do you love.


    him? Is it like what you used to feel for me?” he asked with


    restrained struggle and jealousy in his tone.


    “It’s none of your business,” said Lina.


    His face seemed to darken under the light of themp above.


    them. “You’re my ex-girlfriend, after all. Can’t I be concerned. about you?”


    “You just said I’m your ex-girlfriend. Mr. Stephenson, if your want to be concerned about someone, why

    don’t you pay more attention to your current girlfriend?” said Lina.


    Hadwin Stephenson was silent for a moment, then suddenly.


    said, “Have you ever hated me?”


    She was stunned for a moment. She stared at him in


    bewilderment, wondering why he suddenly asked such a


    question.


    “Have you ever hated me? Have you hated that I abandoned you when you were at your lowest and


    chose to break up with you and be with another woman?” Step by step, he moved


    toward her.


    She backed away almost instinctively, but with each step she


    took, he took one step closer.


    It was until her back was against the wall and there was no


    room for her to retreat.


    His hands were pressed against the wall on both sides of her body. They were very close, and his


    breath sprayed on her face. However, they were not really touching.


    “Did you hate me?” His voice continued to murmur, “Did your


    hate me for holding another woman when you were in pain? Did you hate me for enjoying a rich and


    glorious life when you were struggling? Did you hate me for all the promises I made


    to you that never came true?”


    He spoke word by word as if pressing for an answer.


    Lina stared nkly at the face in front of her. The man still


    had egg in his hair that he had shielded her from.


    Otherwise, all of it would be on her.


    However, none of these affected his beauty. Five years had


    made his delicate face a little more masculine, mature, and


    reserved.

    She stared into his beautiful eyes but could not make sense of


    the depth in them.


    Lina said slowly, “I don’t hate you. Hadwin Stephenson, you’re


    someone I once loved. It’s not like you weren’t suffering when


    I was at my worst. You were under siege back then. If you had


    chosen me, then maybe you would’ve lost the Stephenson family. You would’ve be an ordinary


    person.”


    Shock shed through his eyes as though he had not


    expected her to say so.


    “You don’t… hate me?” he murmured. The four words almost


    seemed to have been squeezed out of his throat with a


    tremble.


    She said, “I don’t hate you, and I don’t want to hate you. Hate


    is a very hurtful feeling. It was nice being in love with you. I


    don’t want to add hatred to it. Between love and career, you


    chose thetter. That’s all you did.”
