No, Lina Sweeney said, but she could guess why Jason came to her. It was probably because of Grace.
If not, why did he come looking for you so late at night? Hadwin Stephenson said coolly. What woman in Emerald City can make. him do that? Or was it because of him that you didnt come
looking for me all these years?
There was a faint hint of jealousy in his voice.
Lina Sweeney was speechless. Come on, if only she was up to Jasons standards! Jason was after Grace, all right?
It has nothing to do with him. I just never looked for you, Linal Sweeney said. Too many things had happened since she came back. How could she have time to think of anything else?
Besides, she only regarded it as a foreign encounter and their night as an accident. She planned to keep this secret for the rest of her life. She did not even tell her parents and Grace.
He looked angrier than ever. He glared at her fiercely while he pressed his thin lips together, and at last, all he said was, You have a way of pissing people off.
He was good at controlling his emotions since he was little. As he was born out of wedlock, he had always known to endure his joys
However, she was the only one who seemed to particularly affect his emotions. He seemed to be able to completely release his emotions in front of her and did not need to have any burden.
The few days they spent together were both sweet and painful for him. He would often think of them in his spare time over the three
years.
The happier those days were, the more painful it was when she left without saying goodbye.
There was a knock on the door. Hadwin Stephenson gathered
himself. Come in.
Someone pushed through the door and came in. It was the guard outside, and behind him were Jason and Grace.

Lina Sweeneys eyes lit up when she saw her best friend. Grace. She did not expect her best friend to come here.
Meanwhile, Grace immediately ran to Lina Sweeney, nervously saying, How are you feeling? What happened? Are you all right?
Im all right. Im fine! Lina Sweeney hurriedly said.
Grace was relieved. Why did, uh, this man bring you here? Do you know him? She could not help asking.
Lina Sweeney smiled awkwardly. Thats a long story. Then, as if she thought of something, she suddenly said, By the way, did you tell my parents about me being taken away?
Not yet, but I called the police, Grace said.
Im screwed. The police will probably call my parents, Lina Sweeney wailed and was in a hurry to leave.
She would probably have to deal with her parents crying and
screaming if she went back.
However, a hand was in her way. Did I say you can leave?
Lina Sweeney was shocked while Grace lunged forward, protectively shielding her best friend behind her.You have no right to detain anyone, and Ive called the police. If you dont want any trouble, youd better let Lina go.
