My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace)

Chapter 368

"H-hello," Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney quickly responded.

Mr. Sweeney invited Hadwin Stephenson to take a seat while Mrs. Sweeney pulled her daughter to the side. "This is your

boyfriend? He's not someone you hired to put up an act?"

Lina Sweeney rolled her eyes. "You can just think of him as an

actor I hired, then."

Mrs. Sweeney was exasperated. "What a child! How can you

speak that way! Alright, go serve tea." With that said, Mrs. Sweeney then plastered a friendly face and walked over to Hadwin Stephenson.

Since Lina Sweeney was the designated waitress, she headed

to the kitchen to prepare some tea. When she stepped into the living room with a tray of tea, she saw the three people chatting joyfully with each other.

"Tingxin, you said that you got to know Lina while abroad, so

have the both of you been keeping in touch all these years?"

"We didn't. It's after I returned to the country recently and

bumped into Lina on the streets that we kept in contact. To be honest, I've been searching for Lina all these years.

Fortunately, I've found her." Hadwin Stephenson smiled.

He shot a look at Lina Sweeney as he said that. From Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney's view, that was a look filled with love. However, for Lina Sweeney, it was a look filled with threats.

Mr. Sweeney smiled. "Both of you are truly fated. However, since you guys first saw each other overseas, that would mean it was only within a span of a few days. How did you develop feelings for Lina?" Mr. Sweeney was curious to know. After all, his daughter

only went abroad for a few days. How did she manage to

make a man unable to forget about her for over three years

within such a short time? Furthermore, that man was an

attractive-looking man who could make girls swoon. It was not a problem for him to look for a girlfriend, yet he had been looking for his daughter for the past three years. This made

Mr. Sweeney's impression of Hadwin Stephenson increase

exponentially.

"Lina is a straightforward girl. I feel comfortable interacting

with her. There was once when I was drunk..." Hadwin

Stephenson said without any reservations. Lina Sweeney suddenly shuddered, and the cup of tea in her hand spilled by

half.

"Ouch!" She growled softly and immediately put the cup down. The back of her hand began to turn red from being

scalded by the hot tea.

Hadwin Stephenson frowned, speedily pulled Lina Sweeney up, made a dash for the kitchen, and turned on the cold water tap to allow the cold water to wash over her scalded hand. "Why can't you even hold a teacup properly?" he said sulkily.

"Hey, don't mention that I've spent the night with you in the hotel back then. My parents are conservative people. If they find out about this, they'll break my canine legs," Lina Sweeney urgently said. "Canine legs?" He side-eyed her. "This is the first time I'm hearing someone describe themselves as a canine."

Lina Sweeney felt deflated. She admitted that she kind of used the wrong description.

"Whatever it is, just don't breathe a word about it." There was begging in her eyes.

He sealed his thin lips tightly, not saying a word.

"As long as you don't mention it, I can..." She abruptly paused

mid-sentence.

'What can I do? Buy him a meal? He doesn't seem like someone who will be interested in a meal that I can afford.

Shall I give him a gift as a reward? I don't have the cheek to

say that out when the person I'm speaking to is richer than me by more than a thousand folds.

Whichever idea that came to her mind did not seem

appropriate at all. Thus, Lina Sweeney's sentence was paused

for a long time. There was no sign of continuation.

"What can you do?" Hadwin Stephenson bent forward slightly to look at her.

She looked at that handsome face that was merely inches away from her and her heart could not stop beating rapidly. Lina Sweeney could not help but complain inwardly. 'Why does a man need such a good- looking face? Especially his skin... It's way better than mine. His skin was so good that she had the urge to ask him what skincare products he used.
