Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 102: Now You Won’t Even Spare Me a Glance?
Candace Ford waited for a long time but Jonas Hawthorne never came, and she felt incredibly disappointed!
She had thought that he would come to save her...
Even if it was for the sake of the child in her belly!
But he didn’t come...
For a moment, she was enveloped by overwhelming sorrow.
But soon, she found a new belief.
It was just as well that Jonas didn’t come, seeing her bullied by Raine Sinclair like this, at least he wouldn’t blame her for announcing the marriage.
Besides, it’s just kneeling, what’s the big deal?
As long as she kept kneeling, everything today would be written off.
After all, wasn’t she actually the one getting the advantage?
Having made up her mind, she let out a few crying sounds on the surface, kneeling down as if aggrieved amidst everyone’s gaze!
"Plop!" the sound resonated clearly in the quiet hallway!
Raine Sinclair looked at the woman kneeling in front of her without changing her expression. At that moment, there was no sense of triumph, no satisfaction, not even a hint of superiority within her.
She suddenly felt it wasn’t worth it.
Just for a bit of scheming, to put her own life at stake...
Everything from the past, she seemed to have completely let go.
Leon Grant saw that there wasn’t a bit of happiness in her expression, and knew she was feeling bad inside.
As he was about to say something, he saw Candace Ford suddenly shift her gaze from kneeling in front of Raine Sinclair to look behind her, and called out with tearful eyes, "Jonas..."
Just those simple two words, Candace clearly saw Raine’s body stiffen.
Hmph.
Now she knows fear, doesn’t she?
But it’s already too late.
Jonas Hawthorne had already seen everything!
Including how aggressively she made her kneel!
Surely, Jonas Hawthorne would start to hate Raine Sinclair now!
However, in reality, Raine Sinclair didn’t care about any of it.
She didn’t even turn around.
What if Jonas Hawthorne saw it?
She didn’t care at all what he might think.
Leon Grant did, however, glance back, and sure enough, saw Jonas Hawthorne and Leo Keane standing behind them, not knowing when they arrived.
The only thing that was clear was that Jonas Hawthorne had been there for a while but hadn’t stepped forward to speak for Candace Ford. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
If he truly loved her, Jonas Hawthorne would certainly not stand there without reacting and just watch things unfold.
So...
Perhaps Jonas Hawthorne didn’t have much affection for Candace either?
Jonas Hawthorne didn’t look at Leon Grant, his gaze briefly lingered on Raine Sinclair.
Instead, it was Leo Keane who first broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Oh dear, sis, you’re awake? It’s so great to see you’re okay! You have no idea how worried Jonas and I were about you when you were being resuscitated, we..."
Before Leo Keane could finish, Jonas Hawthorne shot him a cold look.
Leo Keane immediately corrected himself, "You have no idea how worried I was about you!"
Saying that, he quickly scurried over to Raine Sinclair’s side.
Raine Sinclair knew his thoughts all along and mercilessly exposed him, "I think you’re worried about the contract that hasn’t been signed yet, right?"
"..."
Having his thoughts so easily exposed, Leo Keane was somewhat embarrassed and gave a light cough, "Oh, sis, what are you saying? The contract is one thing, my respect for you is another!"
Having navigated the harsh competitive world of business for years, Leo Keane had already developed a silver tongue for flattery... or rather, adaptability!
With this silver tongue, he even managed to melt Jonas Hawthorne’s icy demeanor!
Raine Sinclair smiled again, not exposing him, but happily said, "Come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract!"
"Alright!"
Achieving his goal, Leo Keane was so happy he almost started hopping around!
But he quickly realized, worriedly asking, "But sis, aren’t you going to rest a few more days? Going to the company tomorrow?"
The contract needed Raine Sinclair’s signature, but she had just returned from the brink of death, immediately throwing herself into work, wasn’t that a bit too much?
Just then, Jonas Hawthorne had already walked into Raine Sinclair’s field of vision, and she coldly said, "I’m fine, those who want to see me dead, I’ll live well just to spite them!"
Jonas Hawthorne’s steps suddenly halted, and a dull pain surged through his chest!
Does she really hate him that much?
Mingled with Leo Keane, she could laugh and talk, yet she wouldn’t even give him a glance...
Not only that, she even mocked him with her words...
Kneeling on the ground, Candace Ford saw Jonas Hawthorne walking over, and the tears started to fall, "Jonas..."
Jonas Hawthorne said nothing, while Candace once again unwillingly reminded him, "Raine just made me kneel to her, saying it’s the only way to thank her for saving my life..."
She was deliberately bringing up what he pretended not to know, right in front of him!
She wanted to see, after knowing Raine Sinclair’s true face, would he still longingly think of Raine Sinclair?
Little did she know, Jonas Hawthorne simply said lightly, "Then thank her as you should."
Hearing this, Candace’s face turned even more sullen.
At that moment, Jonas Hawthorne was looking straight at Raine Sinclair.
Her face was still pale but much better than when she was unconscious.
Though still thin, she appeared somewhat spirited.
Briefly meeting his gaze for a second, Raine Sinclair turned to leave.
Jonas Hawthorne didn’t expect her to be so resolute, did she not even want to give him another glance now?
A place in his heart seemed to be hollowed out, icy winds whistling to fill the void.
Chilling to the bone.
He wanted to speak to make her stay, wanted her gaze to linger a little longer on him, and without thinking, he said, "On the third of next month, Candace and I are getting married, would you come?"
At these words, the whole room fell silent.
Even if Raine Sinclair was indifferent, upon hearing these words, her body wavered uncontrollably...
Already weakened from excessive blood loss, and hearing such a question, how could she truly remain unfazed?
Leon Grant hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Seeing her react just slightly, Jonas Hawthorne felt a sense of joy in his heart, like a spark of hope igniting.
And of all the people there, none was more happy and excited than Candace Ford.
She immediately stood up, grabbed Jonas Hawthorne’s hand, and asked, "Jonas, is this true? We’re having our wedding on the third of next month?"
Jonas Hawthorne didn’t even look at her, his gaze steadily held on Raine Sinclair, "You saved Candace, we should invite you."
Seeing this, Candace turned to Raine Sinclair as well, rudely adding fuel to the fire, "Yes, Raine, you must come. With your blessings, we’ll surely be very happy!"
