Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 121: The Child in Her Womb Is His Bloodline!
Raine Sinclair also saw Jonas Hawthorne.
Her figure hesitated slightly, and her dark brows furrowed.
Without giving him another look, she quickly walked towards the sofa.
Jonas Hawthorne noticed her wearing a comfortable dress, and as she walked, the hem swayed slightly backward, making the slight bulge in her lower abdomen more obvious.
His dark eyes squinted slightly, was she showing already?
If, as Leon Grant said, the child was his, then it would be no more than a month, and Raine Sinclair’s belly couldn’t possibly be that noticeable.
She seemed like she was three months pregnant...
Calculating like this, the child could only be his.
Realizing this, Jonas Hawthorne’s heart was both elated and disappointed...
Elated that she was carrying their child.
The child in her womb was his bloodline!
With this child, they would have an eternal bond throughout their lives.
Disappointed that, although she was pregnant with his child, she would rather ruin her reputation by claiming it was Leon Grant’s?
Did she really want to leave him so desperately?
Not even willing to have this last thread of connection?
Sighing deeply in his heart, Jonas Hawthorne stepped forward to walk into the living room.
Silas Linton had been awake for a while, and her spirits had recovered considerably.
In a blink, she saw Raine Sinclair coming downstairs, and immediately her furrowed expression relaxed, breaking into a broad smile, "Raine! You finally came to see Grandma!"
Raine Sinclair saw her looking pale, appeared to be more worn out than before, even taking breaths while lying on the sofa seemed strenuous, but seeing her came in, Silas still struggled to sit up.
A slight ache stung at the tip of her nose, and she couldn’t help but her eyes turned red.
Grandma was genuinely good to her.
To someone who loved her so dearly, how could she not show up?
"Grandma, what’s wrong with you?"
She spoke, her voice already choked with sobs.
Silas promptly comforted, "Oh dear, don’t cry, don’t cry, Grandma just has old ailments! Elderly people, who doesn’t have some headaches or fevers, huh?"
Meanwhile, William Jennings and Sharon Jennings also noticed Jonas Hawthorne coming in.
Before Jonas Hawthorne could say anything, Sharon Jennings coldly scolded, "What are you still doing here? Isn’t our family miserable enough because of you?!"
"Mom." Jonas Hawthorne let out a thin-lipped call.
"Don’t call me that, I can’t bear it!" Sharon Jennings cursed vehemently, "If it weren’t for your grandmother’s sake, I wouldn’t let you step into Sinclair Family’s door even if I died!"
Sharon Jennings’s tone was too agitated, William Jennings couldn’t bear it anymore, and spoke mildly, "Sharon, I’m a bit thirsty, go get me a glass of water."
Though there were many servants at home, he called only his daughter.
Sharon Jennings then regained her senses, shot Jonas Hawthorne a fiercely, then got up and left.
Just as well, she didn’t want to see this unlucky punk anymore! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
After Sharon Jennings left, Jonas Hawthorne finally looked at William Jennings, "Grandpa."
"You needn’t call me Grandpa, now that it’s over, we’re strangers from now on." William Jennings’s attitude was somewhat softened, but still held the same aloofness.
Raine Sinclair kept looking away, not caring about how Jonas Hawthorne’s expression was at the moment.
It was Silas who slowly said, "Old brother, since Raine is pregnant with Jonas’s child, from now on, our two families will be inseparable, why be so distant?"
William Jennings said nothing more, but Raine Sinclair instinctively frowned, "Grandma, you might misunderstand, the child in my belly is not Jonas Hawthorne’s."
Jonas Hawthorne knew when they were at the hospital that she was pregnant, now it’s no surprise that Grandma knew too.
But she didn’t want to give Grandma too much hope.
However, Silas merely glanced at her belly and said without the slightest hesitation, "Girl, you can lie to others, but can you lie to Grandma? Grandma has carried a child for ten months, and this belly of yours is at least three months along, isn’t it? Back then, you and Jonas hadn’t divorced yet."
With that sentence, it completely overturned Raine Sinclair’s previous falsehood.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and a layer of mist crept into her eyes.
She had tried so hard to cover it, but didn’t think it would be seen through so easily.
All along, she seemed like a fool...
Jonas Hawthorne saw that Raine Sinclair did not refute, reinforcing his conviction that the child was indeed his!
"Raine..." He opened his mouth, his tone carrying a tenderness that even he hadn’t noticed.
Once, as a formidable leader, with Jonas Hawthorne known as Mr. Hawthorne, who could say one without anyone daring to say two, at this moment seemed like a child who had done something wrong, nervously standing behind her, cautiously calling her name.
Raine Sinclair remained unmoved, still frozen in place.
Seeing this, Silas patted her hand and advised, "Good child, you and Jonas should have a good talk. He is the father of this child, and he has the right to know, doesn’t he?"
After she spoke, William Jennings also said, "Raine, take him outside and have a good talk. Since he’s here, might as well clarify everything at once, so there won’t be any lingering ties moving forward."
The first part was for Raine Sinclair, and the latter was directed at Jonas Hawthorne.
At this point, it’s best to clear up whatever can be cleared up in person.
Moreover, William Jennings had already planned from behind, he was determined to teach this kid a lesson.
Before this, if Raine could completely sever ties with him, so much the better!
"I have nothing to say to him." Raine Sinclair said.
Her heart was already dead, talking any further would just be wasting time.
Jonas Hawthorne’s chest tightened, knowing she didn’t want to see him, but was it already to the point of disgust?
Suppressing the heartache, he slowly lifted his lips, "Raine, let’s go outside to talk. Grandpa and Grandma still have things to say."
"..." Raine Sinclair closed her eyes, extremely impatient with him always using elders to pressure her!
William Jennings also spoke simultaneously, "Go ahead."
Helplessly, Raine Sinclair then got up and walked towards the door first.
Jonas Hawthorne was joyed inside, then looked at William Jennings, "Thank you, Grandpa."
Followed by exiting.
Watching these two kids going out, Silas finally showed a relieved smile, "Perhaps this is God’s deliberate arrangement? The bond between them isn’t so easily severed."
William Jennings snorted, "So what if they know the child is his? Plenty of couples still separate even with children."
Silas, "..."
——
Outside the courtyard.
Raine Sinclair stopped under a plane tree.
This was planted by her father for her mother when she was five years old.
At that time, she watched nearby, every year she drew a mark on the tree to see how fast she was growing.
In the end, her father told her, young trees grow each year too, and grow even faster than her.
From then on, she knew that everything in this world was constantly changing.
Even trees were like that, let alone people?
After a moment of silence, a familiar set of footsteps approached from behind.
"Raine." His voice was low and tender, carrying a certain lingering emotion.
