    Chapter 1957


    ‘Is it… Mr. Stephenson’s?”


    The butler shuddered at the thought, thinking it might be another piece of explosive news for J City.


    Linater called her parents. Of course, she did not tell her parents about her getting pped but said


    she would be staying over at Hadwin Stephenson’s for the night. In a separate room, of course. Then,


    she asked her parents to hand over the pregnancy pillow when someone came over to collect it.


    Although Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney questioned their daughter for a long time, they could not get


    answers to why she was suddenly spending the night in Hadwin Stephenson’s house. However, their


    daughter sounded rather joyful, so it was probably a good thing.


    When Hadwin Stephenson’s staff came to collect the pregnancy pillow, Mrs. Sweeney asked them to


    bring her daughter some cakes she made herself.


    Hadwin Stephenson looked at the pregnancy pillow his staff had brought back, only to find that it was


    not only a pillow. Besides being a regr pillow, it also cushioned one’s back for


    when oney on the side.


    With a pillow like this, one could say that she would be all wrapped up in it.


    “You’re going to sleep with a pillow like that?” he asked.


    “Yes, the further into the pregnancy, the more ufortable is to lie on my back. It’s morefortable


    to lie on the side. This pillow is extremely soft. It’s soft to hold to sleep. It’s just


    like hugging you to sleep.”


    Hadwin Stephenson’s ears reddened slightly. ‘Does this woman always talk with no filter? Just like


    hugging me to sleep? She speaks as if she hugs me to sleep every day!


    “By the way, do you want to eat this cake? Didn’t you love eating the cakes my mom made whenever


    you came to my house?” asked Lina as she took out a soft and small cake from


    the food container.


    Hadwin Stephenson looked at the cake she held in her hand. The scenes of what had happened at her


    home back then seemed to recur to him.


    He had always found the Stephenson family cold, full of conspiracies and plots. Even if they looked like


    they wereughing and talking, behind those smiles were calcting thoughts.

    However, it was different with the Sweeney family. With the Sweeney family, he did not have to guess


    anything. He could easily integrote into the family andugh whenever he wanted.


    Perhaps only a family like that could make her who she was.


    Hadwin Stephenson could not help taking the cake in Lina’s hand and putting it to his lips before taking


    a bite. It was soft, chewy, and sweet but not too nauseating. It was as delicious as back then.


    “Well? My mom’s cakes are just as good as before, aren’t they?” Lina asked with a smile. Her cheeks


    were red and swollen, while the corners of her lips were injured. She could not eat the cake, but he


    could.


    Hadwin Stephenson did not answer her but finished the cake in his hand. Then, he said to Lina,


    “Remember to apply the Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    ointment.”


    “I have to apply it on myself in the mirror. It’s too troublesome. Why don’t you help me?” she said


    cheekily, holding out the ointment the hospital had prescribed.


    Hadwin Stephenson red at Lina, but his staring was nothing to her. She continued holding the


    ointment.

    Hadwin Stepenson finally took the ointment. He dabbed some on his fingers and gently smeared it on


    the red and swollen parts of her cheeks.


    “Hey, ouch… Ouch, ouch!” She instantly wailed.


    Therefore, he could not help but minimize the strength in his hand and carefully applied the ointment to


    her cheeks.


    Even Hadwin Stephenson could not understand it. Did he not n to ignore her and stop having


    feelings for her? However, he seemed to surrender every time he was with her.


    He clearly seemed to be the strong one while she was the weak one.
