Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 106: The Wound in Her Heart Runs Too Deep
Raine was even more surprised, "When did I agree to that? How come I don’t know?"
"You!" Mason Sullivan was so angry his face turned bright red, but he didn’t know how to explain the whole story clearly.
"Is that really the case?" Raine brainstormed for a moment but couldn’t remember. At first, she wondered if Mason had just said it casually, or if there had been some misunderstanding?
How could she joke about something as important as her own marriage?
As a result, Mason also couldn’t articulate anything after holding back for a long time. He abruptly stood up and said angrily, "I’m not bothering talking to you anymore, I’m leaving!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out with large strides.
Raine was also taken aback for a moment, not expecting the conversation to suddenly end in anger.
Subconsciously, she wanted to stand up and call him back, but as soon as she got up, she felt a dizzy spell in her head!
She forgot how much blood had been drawn, and her whole body swayed, falling back onto the sofa.
Seeing this, William Jennings immediately asked, "What’s wrong, girl?"
Raine shook her head, "Just a bit dizzy..."
"You’ve always been weak, and I heard you’re expecting. Don’t overwork yourself!" William said with a pained expression.
When Raine had been talking about the afternoon’s events, she deliberately omitted the part about having blood drawn. Otherwise, if William Jennings knew Jonas Hawthorne dared to treat his precious granddaughter like that, the entire Hawthorne Family would have to bear the consequences!
"I got it, Grandpa. I’m just a bit hungry, low blood sugar." Raine found a casual excuse to try to get by.
William Jennings, hearing this, immediately ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes, "You silly girl, why didn’t you eat something if you were hungry?"
"I wanted to eat with you, Grandpa!" Raine chuckled, snuggling up to him.
"You!" William Jennings poked her little head. Though he kept a stern face, his heart was as sweet as honey!
He still thought girls were better, much more considerate than the boys in his family!
When Raine walked to the dining table, she noticed the house was quieter than usual, and couldn’t help asking, "Where are Mom and Dad? They haven’t returned yet?"
"Don’t worry about them, tonight it’s just a candlelight dinner for us, grandpa and granddaughter!" William Jennings brushed the question aside, then added after Raine sat down, "I think Mason Sullivan is a good guy. He spent the entire afternoon with me and tried everything to impress me, all for you!"
Talking about Mason, Raine felt a bit guilty, "Why did he suddenly get angry just now? I haven’t thanked him properly yet!"
"Young men, it’s normal for them to be a bit hot-headed!" William Jennings said, "But this guy hasn’t changed his feelings for you over the years. Have you really not considered him?"
"Grandpa, I’m not in the mood for these things right now." Raine shook her head lightly.
She had just ended a wrong relationship, and her heart was still too wounded to heal quickly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Moreover, starting a relationship while wounded is irresponsible.
She didn’t want to hurt Mason either.
Just being friends seemed fine.
William Jennings heard her and stopped persuading.
"You’ve always been like this, soft outside but incredibly strong inside. Once you decide on something, nobody can change your mind."
Just like when she insisted on marrying Jonas Hawthorne back then.
Everyone could see Jonas Hawthorne’s cold attitude, but she insisted on going all the way.
Who could have stopped her?
Raine listened awkwardly, afraid her grandpa would start lecturing her again, hurriedly gave him a piece of Dongpo pork.
"Grandpa, this tastes good, try it!"
"Alright, alright!" William Jennings nodded repeatedly, finding that anything served by his granddaughter tasted better!
But at that moment, Raine suddenly froze.
Speaking of this pork...
It seemed Mason also liked Dongpo pork quite a bit.
He was quite weak and small as a child, always getting bullied. Eventually, his mom told him to eat more, grow stronger so he wouldn’t be bullied.
Then he went all out, eating freely, and became a chubby little kid before finishing elementary school.
He did grow bigger, but his punches were still weak, and he would still get bullied.
Every time, he’d come crying to Raine for help...
Mason’s mom was a fantastic cook and made incredible Osmanthus cakes.
After Raine stood up for Mason, she could always score some snacks.
Once, Mason’s mom made Dongpo pork, and it was amazing. Mason, the little chubby kid, had two more bowls of rice, and his mom joked he’d never find a wife if he kept eating like that!
Then Mason cried, and it took half an hour to calm him down. Mason’s mom then joked that Raine would be his wife when she grew up...
At that time, Raine was also greedy, so she agreed for a piece of Osmanthus cake.
It was just kids being silly, right?
Who knew the crying, snotty Mason from back then would take it to heart?
Not only did he take it to heart, but he’s also remembered it all these years...
"Oh no," Raine thought of all these things, her face turning a bit grim.
"What?" William Jennings looked up at her.
Raine sighed and told her grandpa about what happened when they were kids.
She didn’t expect her grandpa to laugh heartily after hearing it, "That boy, seems like he’s truly liked you for many years! Raine, grandpa thinks he’s way better than that Jonas Hawthorne! Throughout all these years, he has kept you in his heart. Even though he’s not quite grown up yet and a bit childish, his heart is all yours. He will definitely treat you well in the future."
Though Jonas Hawthorne is excellent in many ways, his heart was never entirely Raine’s.
No matter how beautiful the beginning, it doesn’t compare to the calmness after marriage.
Only by maintaining that original sincere heart can marriage continue.
William Jennings had been through a lot and saw things clearly.
Raine listened to her grandpa and then fell into a long silence.
Such words, she’d heard a lot before getting married.
Even now that she’s divorced and disillusioned with love, people who don’t touch her heart truly can’t be together.
After thinking it over, she stood up again, "Grandpa, you eat first, I’m going to make a call!"
She had to call Mason!
William Jennings watched his granddaughter’s departing figure and picked up his phone.
"Yes, it’s me. How are the preparations going?"
"Grandpa, everything is prepared as you instructed." A youthful and respectful voice came from the phone.
William Jennings placed one hand on the table, tapping his raised fingertips slowly and rhythmically, "The Hawthorne Family dared to bully my granddaughter. I will ensure they pay for it."
"But... Jonas Hawthorne has already announced the wedding date, when the time comes..."
"He wants to hold a wedding? Hmph, they better worry about stabilizing Hawthorne Enterprises first!"
William Jennings let out a cold laugh, with a flash of coldness in his deep eyes!
