Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 205: I Don’t Want to See Her Unhappy
When she said this, her hand was unconsciously wrinkling the hem of her skirt.
This was the biggest secret buried deep in her heart.
Heaven knows how much she struggled before finally deciding to tell her cousin everything.
Raine Sinclair, upon hearing this, thought of what Finn Wyatt had previously mentioned hearing outside the hotel room and could roughly guess what had happened.
"Did you tell Candace Ford about this?" she suddenly asked.
Lily Sinclair lowered her eyes, biting her teeth tightly, "She orchestrated it all."
"Then what?"
"Then she used this to threaten me to get the pills for someone. That morning..." Lily Sinclair’s voice choked up as she spoke.
Raine Sinclair took over the conversation, "So that morning when you wanted to drink my porridge, you actually already regretted it? Then you went to Candace to seek revenge on her?"
If that were the case, then the whole situation made sense.
Lily Sinclair nodded with tears streaming down, "Sis, I really know I was wrong. It’s all my fault for letting you down."
"Why didn’t you tell me all this sooner?" Raine Sinclair frowned. Since she had been threatened, if Lily Sinclair had confided in her earlier, things might not have escalated to the point they had reached now.
"I..." Lily Sinclair opened her mouth, "That night at the hotel, I was wearing your mask, and besides..."
Just as she got to this point, Raine Sinclair’s phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was a call from Cecilia Sullivan.
Raine Sinclair frowned slightly and told Lily Sinclair, "Let me take this call first."
Lily Sinclair wiped her eyes and obediently sat by the bed waiting.
Raine Sinclair went outside.
As soon as she connected the call, she heard a wailing voice in her ear, "Why, Cecilia! Tell me why! Boohoo!"
Raine Sinclair raised her eyebrows slightly. She recognized it as Mason Sullivan’s voice...
How did these two end up together?
Puzzled, she heard Cecilia Sullivan say, "Did you hear that? Mason heard you’re getting remarried and has been drinking for days. You better come over and take a look; we’re at..."
Before she could finish, the phone was snatched away.
Mason, not expecting this guy to actually call Raine Sinclair, was furious and embarrassed, "What nonsense are you spouting?! I’m not drinking; I..."
Cecilia Sullivan shoved him aside, muttering something Raine Sinclair couldn’t quite hear, except for the words ’Luna’ bar.
She realized why Mason had taken time off; it turned out...
Sighing, she returned to the room.
Lily Sinclair was no longer crying; it seemed that having revealed much of her secret, she was emotionally much better.
Raine Sinclair handed her a tissue, smiling, "Silly girl, you’re grown up now. Having a boyfriend or a man in your life is completely normal. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as you take precautions and know how to love yourself, it’s fine."
"But that man is..." Leon Grant.
Before she could utter the last three words, Raine Sinclair gently touched her lips, "No need to tell me; this is originally your own matter. Cecilia just called, and I need to go. If you and uncle and aunt have nothing else, stay here for dinner."
"Sis, you’re really not angry with me anymore?" Lily Sinclair still couldn’t believe her eyes and ears.
Before, her cousin wouldn’t even look her in the eye; how could she suddenly accept her now?
"I am angry." Raine Sinclair seriously looked into her eyes and continued, "So from now on, whatever you intend to do, think it through first. Not every time can be forgiven, understand?"
Lily Sinclair nodded vigorously, "I understand, Sis! You’re truly an angel sent by the heavens to be by my side!"
"Such a sweet talker!" Raine Sinclair chatted with her a bit more before leaving.
Samuel Sinclair and Fiona Calton, seeing the two kids reconciled, immediately had the servants return the luggage home.
As they were leaving, Samuel Sinclair held his daughter’s hand, constantly reminding her, "Daughter, in our lifetime, whether in dealing with people or matters, we must follow our conscience, understand? Your sister is willing to forgive you because of her kind nature. You must protect her well and treat her as your real sister!"
"I know, Dad." Lily Sinclair’s eyes reddened again, silently swearing in her heart.
Even if it costs her life in the future, she must protect her cousin well!

Cecilia Sullivan threw down her phone, glancing at Mason Sullivan sitting on the edge of the sofa, refusing to sober up, and clicked her tongue, "You dare get drunk here, but you don’t even dare to call Raine?"
Mason Sullivan didn’t respond. Scattered around him were empty bottles, lying in disarray.
Who knows how much he drank; since last night when he saw the trending news about Raine Sinclair marrying Leon Grant, he’d been drinking.
He’d drunkenly continued to drink until now.
The lighting in the bar’s private room was very dim, making it hard to distinguish day from night.
Suddenly, a phrase popped into his head.
A life of drunken dreams.
If he just died like this, maybe his heart wouldn’t hurt anymore?
Cecilia Sullivan was used to this guy’s carefree, joking demeanor. Seeing him suddenly acting all deep and thoughtful was a bit unsettling.
She couldn’t help but kick him again, "Hey, I’m talking to you!"
Mason Sullivan, swaying from the kick, finally gave her an impatient glare, "Cecilia Sullivan, I’m warning you, don’t go too far!"
"And what if I do? You’ve got the nerve to act tough with me, but why don’t you try going to Raine! I’m telling you, if you don’t make a move soon, she’s really going to belong to someone else!" Cecilia Sullivan wasn’t scared at all.
Her personality had always been frank.
She was different from Raine Sinclair.
Raine Sinclair helped Mason purely out of a sense of injustice.
She helped Mason entirely because she was itching to beat someone up...
Weren’t those who bullied Mason just offering themselves up for a beating?
It was excusable as a child, but now that they’re grown up, it drove her crazy to see Mason still being such a softie; it made her hate that iron couldn’t become steel and made her grind her teeth in frustration!
Mason Sullivan took another swig of his drink, finally willing to speak.
"What good will it do me to find her? She’s already agreed to marry Leon Grant... I, I don’t want to see her unhappy."
His tone was full of infinite sorrow and melancholy.
He had liked Raine Sinclair since they were young.
Unfortunately, Raine Sinclair always treated him like a little brother...
When he first learned Raine Sinclair was pursuing Jonas Hawthorne, he was very upset and tried to intervene.
But at that time, Raine Sinclair said as long as she could stay by Jonas Hawthorne’s side, she would be extremely happy.
What could he do?
He had no choice but to let her be...
Now it’s the same.
History always repeats itself in astonishing ways!
Cecilia Sullivan sighed, rubbing her forehead, "How do you know she’s truly happy now? Besides, I don’t think she’s that interested in Leon Grant."
"How can that be? They’re getting married!" Mason Sullivan immediately retorted.
"Why not? Do you know her better, or do I? Just recall when she was pursuing Jonas Hawthorne, that was what you’d call a love-struck brain! Now she barely spends time with Leon Grant. Haven’t you noticed?"
Cecilia Sullivan revealed the truth.
Mason Sullivan was stunned, "Really?"
