Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 119: You Still Can’t Forget Him

Once upon a time, even the once powerful Mr. Hawthorne had such a lonely moment...

Perhaps feeling a bit lonely standing there alone, Jonas Hawthorne casually took out a cigarette.

He hadn’t been fond of smoking before, but ever since the divorce, he gradually picked it up and always carried them with him.

He skillfully lit it, took a deep puff, then blew out a smoke ring.

A white haze quickly enveloped him.

He hadn’t taken more than a couple of puffs when a cool breeze swept through the air, and it suddenly began to rain.

Not heavy, just a slight drizzle.

A few drops fell on his cigarette butt, quickly extinguishing it.

Looking down at the wet cigarette butt in his hand, Jonas Hawthorne paused slightly.

For just two or three seconds, he suddenly smirked, full of irony.

Ha...

Now, is even smoking going to be this unlucky?

The driver quickly got out of the car to fetch an umbrella for him, "Young master, it’s raining, please get in the car."

"No need." Jonas Hawthorne waved away his umbrella and looked up at the villa opposite.

At that moment, Raine Sinclair quickly turned sideways behind the curtain, scared of being seen by him.

But in fact, with the lights off inside and the room dimly lit, it was impossible to see inside from the outside.

Her heart suddenly started to beat faster.

Realizing this, Raine Sinclair felt even more uncomfortable.

They were already divorced, so much had happened, they had come this far, and yet...

She still felt heartache for him.

Biting her lower lip lightly, she closed her eyes, and a tear quickly slipped down.

The feeling of heartache was so clear.

She could pretend not to care, pretend to be heartless.

But her heart still ached...

Raine Sinclair, you’re so pathetic.

You still can’t forget him.

Downstairs.

Silas Linton had just entered the living room when it started raining outside.

The air carried a faint chill.

William Jennings saw this familiar face and greeted, "Come over and have a cup of hot tea, the weather is so unpredictable, isn’t it?"

Hearing this, Silas Linton looked back into the hall.

In the large living room, only William Jennings was there. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Raine Sinclair was nowhere to be seen.

He already knew William Jennings had come to Sedonia.

At his age, he rarely went out, and this time he had gone to great lengths to come, it must be for his granddaughter.

He immediately walked over with a smile, "Old friend, long time no see, how is your health?"

Silas Linton’s father had some connections with the Jennings Family, in those days, many people stuck together for protection, and their fathers served the same master.

They shared similar ideas and supported each other, which made them appreciate each other.

However, as times changed, their descendants pursued their own paths, and their relationship gradually faded.

Jonas Hawthorne’s grandfather also wanted Raine Sinclair to marry into the Hawthorne Family because she was William Jennings’s granddaughter.

"I’m well, at this age, every extra day is a bonus." William Jennings smiled faintly, prepared a cup for Silas Linton, and added tea, "Royal Dragon Well, want to try it?"

Silas Linton took a sip of the tea and felt instantly refreshed, "You still love tea so much, old friend."

"I can’t drink alcohol anymore, or we’d definitely have a big drink together when we meet!"

After some small talk, Silas Linton asked, "Why haven’t I seen Raine?"

She came today specifically to see Raine Sinclair.

William Jennings’s hand paused slightly while pouring the tea, and his expression changed.

"She’s upstairs." He answered and then continued, "Sister, our families have a good relationship, there’s no need for things to be so tense."

His tone was somewhat heavier, full of anger.

Silas Linton’s expression froze, knowing the old friend had come to settle accounts.

"Both I and Jonas’s grandfather are fond of Raine, regardless of whether they’re divorced or not, I’ve always treated her like my own granddaughter!"

Immediately stating her position, Silas Linton didn’t want the misunderstanding between the two families to deepen.

William Jennings was silent for a moment, of course knowing that Silas Linton treated Raine pretty well, otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her in today.

However...

"If your grandson wants a divorce, he could sit down and have a proper talk, at least give my granddaughter some dignity. But he brought a woman from outside home so openly, where does that leave my granddaughter’s face?"

William Jennings’s voice was low, carrying a certain authority!

Silas Linton’s heart tightened, "Jonas was at fault in this matter."

"Hmph." William Jennings didn’t accept this at all and boldly declared, "He can be at fault, and I can teach him a lesson."

In other words, he was going to teach Jonas Hawthorne a lesson.

In fact, William Jennings had already instructed York Jennings to make arrangements in secret.

This was also why York Jennings hadn’t appeared for so many days.

He made a public appearance to attract everyone’s attention, and then ordered York Jennings to act secretly.

A diversion tactic that was perfectly coordinated between the grandfather and grandson.

Silas Linton felt a thud in his heart.

A bit incredulously, he looked at William Jennings...

They were all experienced folks, it wasn’t possible to do anything without giving notice first.

That’s not sticking to the rules, that’s just stupid.

And the only possibility was that William Jennings had already taken action in secret.

If that’s true, then the Hawthorne Family... is in for a storm.

After thinking it over for a while, Silas Linton knew she couldn’t stop it, so she sighed heavily, "Jonas made a mistake and deserves punishment. But I ask you, old friend, to show some mercy for the sake of Jonas being the father of Raine’s unborn child."

As soon as these words came out, William Jennings’s brows furrowed.

He knew that the child Raine Sinclair was carrying belonged to Jonas Hawthorne.

But outsiders didn’t know... not even Jonas Hawthorne himself knew.

How did Silas Linton know?

While pondering this, William Jennings coldly smirked, "You’re joking, sister. Raine is carrying Leon Grant’s child, they’re about to get engaged, didn’t you know?"

He countered, never liking Jonas Hawthorne.

Even if he’s a descendant of the Hawthorne Family, even if he’s indeed talented, even if he’s really handsome and charming...

But what’s the use of that?

As long as he’s not good to Raine, everything else is just a cloud in the sky!

Silas Linton initially believed that the child Raine Sinclair was carrying belonged to Jonas Hawthorne, but now seeing William Jennings so confidently saying otherwise, she felt a bit unsettled.

Could it be... that Raine is indeed carrying someone else’s child?

How is that possible?

Thinking it over, knowing how much Raine loved Jonas, she couldn’t see it any other way.

The child must indeed be Jonas’s!

Reaffirming her belief, Silas Linton continued to smile, "No need to hide it from me, old friend. Raine is a pure and kind child who loves my grandson dearly, that child must be of the Hawthorne bloodline. And since it’s of the Hawthorne bloodline, it is naturally expected to come back to us."
