My gorgeous wife is an ex-convict (Grace) novel Chapter 1729

Chapter 1729 

“What exactly happened yesterday?” asked Lina. 

“Jay and I were supposed to send you home yesterday, but you insisted on calling Anthony Sherman. But you ended up calling Hadwin Stephenson instead. So, uh… After he came, he said he would send you home.” Grace told Lina about what had happened in the private room yesterday. 

Lina got even more speechless as she listened… ‘How… embarrassing! 

‘I.. was the one who called Hadwin Stephenson! I… also hugged Hadwin Stephenson in front of others and… seemed to have 

flirted with him? 

‘Sure enough, I get into trouble every time I drink! Every time I run into Hadwin Stephenson after drinking, I’d force myself upon him. 

‘Of course, since I was the one who forced myself upon him, that 

means he’s the victim!’ 

“Lina, are you okay? Did Hadwin Stephenson send you home safely yesterday?” asked Grace. 

Lina could only mumble, “I’m fine. I’ll talk to you later.” With that 

said, she hurriedly ended the call. 

Then, Lina called home. It was her mother who answered the call. 

However, to Lina’s surprise, she did not get an earful from her mother. “Mom… I-I didn’t come home last night because…” 

“I know why. Your colleague called, saying the design office had an urgent assignment and they tasked you to produce the blueprints. Are you done with the assignment? Did you sleep in the office? Or are you coming home in the morning to catch up on sleep?” Mrs. Sweeney asked with concern. 

Lina hurriedly said, “Uh… I did get some sleep. I… won’t be going home yet. I still have something to do in the office. I’ll go home 

after work.” 

Lina was relieved after the phone call with her mother. 

Her family was not suspicious that she did not go home last night. ‘But… colleague? 

‘Hadwin Stephenson probably had someone pose as my colleague and made that phone call.’ 

Lina packed up her things with mixed feelings. When she walked 

downstairs, she saw Hadwin Stephenson sitting at the dining 

table as he looked at her. “Come have breakfast.” 

She said, “No thanks. I… I’m going to work. And where are the clothes that I wore yesterday?” 

3/4 

“I had someone wash them,” said Hadwin Stephenson. 

“Then… please deliver them to me after. Just deliver them to my house. I’ll send over the clothes I’m wearing after I wash them,” said Lina.
