Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 146 - 138: Father and Son Seek Refuge with Laura Quincy
Jason and Justin Hawthorne listened until their heads started to spin...
"Mom, if you really like her so much, why don’t you just marry her yourself."
"You silly child! What are you saying? What does my liking matter? It has to be you who likes her!"
"You already know it has to be my own choice to like her. My stance is clear now, and I have already told her explicitly that we’re breaking up."
Jason Hawthorne’s tone was firm, with no room for negotiation.
Eleanor Ford was shocked, "What? You’ve already broken up? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know about it?"
Jason and Justin Hawthorne both rolled their eyes in unison, father and son’s expressions were perfectly synchronized.
While they were chatting, Angus Hawthorne suddenly chimed in, "What are you guys mumbling about?"
Jason Hawthorne was about to explain to his father but was interrupted by his mother, "Honey, it’s nothing! I’m just checking in on Jason and Twinkle’s lives, just chatting about family stuff."
Angus Hawthorne looked suspiciously at his wife. He clearly saw her having significant emotional fluctuations, how could it just be simple family chat...
But since his wife didn’t want to tell, he didn’t press further, guessing it probably had to do with Jason and Stella’s marriage.
"Huh? Why haven’t I seen Stella today?"
"Probably something came up and she couldn’t make it! Otherwise, how could she miss her sister’s wedding?"
Eleanor Ford was afraid her son would mention the breakup with Stella in front of her husband, so she hurriedly interrupted.
Angus Hawthorne gave his younger son a meaningful look, was about to ask a question when suddenly a few old friends came over to chat with him.
"Old Master Hawthorne, congratulations on your double blessings!"
"Old Master Hawthorne, each and every one of your descendants are outstanding talents! They’re remarkable, making us all envious!"
One by one they offered flattering words, all to please Old Master Hawthorne.
Jason Hawthorne quickly took the opportunity to leave with his son. Eleanor Ford was about to stop them when Justin Hawthorne pitifully said, "Grandma, Twinkle is really sleepy, can Dad have the afternoon off to keep Twinkle company?"
Upon hearing the soft and adorable voice of her dear grandson, Eleanor Ford’s heart softened. She knew her son was a very busy man and could barely find a few days a month to spend at home with Twinkle...
She instructed her son, "Then take Twinkle home first, come back later for dinner?"
Justin Hawthorne quickly said, "Grandma, I want to have a private date with Dad tonight."
Eleanor Ford fondly looked at her grandson, "Alright, alright! Grandma promises you!"
Then she turned to her son, "Think twice about Stella, she’s the most suitable choice for your wife! If you break up with Stella now, wouldn’t it be just what your big brother and second brother want."
Jason Hawthorne was confident, "Mom, haven’t you heard: ’War is deception!’ I just want to throw out this bomb to them, let them catch me off guard!"
Eleanor Ford scolded lightly, "Are you crazy?"
Jason Hawthorne was full of confidence, "Mom, I know what I’m doing, you should trust your son!"
Eleanor Ford was still a bit worried, "No matter what, mom still disagrees with you doing this, it’s too risky!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Jason Hawthorne was unconcerned, "Without entering the tiger’s lair, how can one obtain the tiger cub?"
Eleanor Ford pinched her son’s arm, "Mom would rather you win steadily!"
Jason Hawthorne said no more, he had already said what he had to say, as for his mom’s side, he believed that once she learned the truth, she should gradually come around.
After all, Laura Quincy is a very exceptional woman! She’s not inferior to Stella Jennings!
On the way to the airport, Justin Hawthorne worriedly furrowed his brow, "Dad, what if Grandma doesn’t agree with you marrying Sister?"
Jason Hawthorne’s eyes were profound, "That’s why Dad needs your help."
Justin Hawthorne immediately widened his eyes in excitement, "How can I help Daddy?"
Jason Hawthorne whispered a few words in his son’s ear...
After Jason Hawthorne left with his son, the wedding venue became even more lively!
Serena Jennings learned that her second sister was unwell and did not attend the wedding today, she was so angry she almost moved her pregnancy.
At the same time, it meant that her second sister’s relationship with Uncle Jasper Hawthorne was in jeopardy.
Speaking of which, it’s also quite a gain!
On another side:
Old Master Xavier and Old Master Hawthorne walked together. Although their families have always been rivals, they had never really turned against each other and maintained a separate coexistence.
"Xavier, that’s your fifth-ranked grandson Jonah Xavier, right?"
"Looks like Hawthorne has been paying attention to our Jonah for quite a while?"
"A rising star in the legal world, has never lost a case, just for this alone, it’s hard not to draw attention!"
"We old folks can’t control the young people’s fate! Standing alongside Jonah is your second family’s daughter, right? Working at Pinnacle Law Firm?"
"Today’s young people all believe in free love. If they can end up together, I would be glad to see that happen as an old master."
"Indeed!"
Laura Quincy had just finished work when she received a call from Justin Hawthorne, his cute childlike voice making her heart melt.
"Sister, I’m at the entrance of your apartment block, when will you be back?"
"Uh... Sister is out of town at the moment."
"I know! Twinkle is right at the entrance to Sister’s new home in Norcastle."
"..."
Laura Quincy froze for a second, thinking, he actually came...
"Who brought you here?"
"Daddy did! Otherwise, Twinkle wouldn’t be able to find the way on his own."
Justin Hawthorne spoke the truth. Although his daddy kept giving him looks, he still sold his dad out. After all, he was just a little kid around five years old! It was hard to believe that he came to Norcastle alone...
Laura Quincy bit her lip, that bastard of a man! How dare he show up in front of her?
Also, wasn’t today Jasper Hawthorne’s wedding day?
As his uncle, how could he not be there?
"Isn’t your cousin getting married today?"
"Daddy and I left right after the wedding; anyway, it’s nothing to do with us!"
"..."
Laura Quincy was speechless, well! So that’s the logic.
"My sister is on her way back, it should take about ten more minutes."
"Hmm, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Laura Quincy cursed Jason Hawthorne in her heart! That scoundrel of a man! Always using Twinkle as a shield!
Especially in front of the child, she couldn’t say anything harsh.
But, thinking that Twinkle was her son whom she carried for ten months, her feelings were mixed. Each previous meeting treated him as someone else’s child, they were only close because of affinity...
But now knowing they were biological mother and son...
This change in identity was really hard for her to adjust to in such a short time.
Her heart felt tense, like there was a little deer inside about to leap out at any moment; indescribable...
At the entrance of Laura Quincy’s residential complex.
Jason Hawthorne and Justin Hawthorne stood there; their presence drew the attention and whispers of many passing residents.
"Wow! Are they father and son? Their looks are too good!"
"Which woman is so lucky to marry such an excellent husband and have such a cute son? She must have saved the galaxy in her previous life!"
"This world is so unfair, why didn’t such a good thing happen to me!"
Hearing these comments, Jason Hawthorne kept a straight face, still not used to being watched by others, feeling like he was a rare animal in a zoo being pointed at.
Justin Hawthorne’s bright eyes spun around, his lips always turned up in a smile, looking like a little angel, tempting those around to sneak another glance.
"This little boy might be a spitting image of his dad, but his love for smiling must come from his mom, completely different types between father and son!"
"Absolutely! The little boy is just too adorable! I want to pinch those cute cheeks, but I’m worried his dad would knock me out..."
Laura Quincy rushed over with her bag and saw the scene from a distance, thinking something must have happened seeing so many people gathered at the gate...
It turned out—
The father and son were causing the commotion.
When Justin Hawthorne spotted Laura Quincy, he joyfully ran towards her, "Sister! Twinkle missed you so much!"
Laura Quincy couldn’t help but open her arms and embrace Justin Hawthorne. Ever since learning he was her son, this was the first meeting between mother and son.
Her eyes involuntarily grew wet...
Why did fate play such a joke on her?
Justin Hawthorne seemed to sense that something was off with Laura Quincy’s mood, looked at her puzzled, and reached his chubby little hand to wipe her tears, declaring assertively, "Sister, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you? I’ll have Daddy beat him up!"
Laura Quincy sniffed, "No, it’s because sister missed Twinkle so much and seeing him makes me so happy that I cried."
Suddenly, Justin Hawthorne wrapped his arms around her neck, "Then Twinkle will stay with sister every day from now on, so sister won’t cry anymore."
His warm-hearted gesture touched Laura Quincy even more, strumming an emotional chord in her heart long untouched...
"Hmm."
Seeing this scene, Jason Hawthorne couldn’t quite figure out his feelings, but became more determined to marry Laura Quincy.
After entering the apartment.
Jason Hawthorne noticed that this apartment was even smaller than Laura’s place in Aethelburg, just one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom; the space was really limited...
"You should change to a bigger place to live in!"
"..."
Laura Quincy just treated his words as if she hadn’t heard them at all, allowing Jason Hawthorne inside was her maximum limit. If Twinkle weren’t there, she would have swept him out with a broom!
Justin Hawthorne was completely caught up in his excitement, not noticing the unusual atmosphere between daddy and sister.
"Twinkle, sister doesn’t have any snacks at home, shall we go down to buy some together?"
"Sure! Let Daddy pay for it!"
Laura Quincy: "..."
