Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 22: If You Like the Man I Don’t Want, Feel Free to Take Him!
Jonas Hawthorne sighed, "It’s been tough on you."
Candace Ford took the opportunity to snuggle into his embrace, "As long as I can be by your side and bring our child into the world safely, I will never feel wronged..."
Having said this, Jonas Hawthorne had no reason to leave alone and had to personally take her to the hospital.
By coincidence, Raine Sinclair also scheduled her check-up for today.
After yesterday’s rear-end collision with Leo Keane, she was a bit worried, afraid it might affect the baby.
Perhaps it was fate, all three chose the same hospital.
Raine Sinclair arrived alone, wearing a baseball cap and sportswear, keeping a low profile.
She didn’t want her pregnancy to be widely known, so she came without company.
"Madam, your baby is very healthy."
The words from the medical staff during the ultrasound seemed to linger in her ears as Raine Sinclair glanced at the examination sheet and touched her stomach, a sense of joy enveloped her.
It’s truly wondrous how a small life has taken residence inside her...
She stood in the corridor alone for a long time, put away the examination sheet, and headed downstairs.
Unexpectedly, in the bustling registration hall, she ran into Jonas Hawthorne and Candace Ford.
All three were stunned, none expected to meet here.
Raine Sinclair glanced at Jonas Hawthorne’s hand supporting Candace Ford, pressing down a hint of bitterness within but maintained composure, walking past as if nothing happened.
In the past, she believed that everyone she met in life was destined to be.
It wasn’t until she learned from experience that not everyone is destined, there are many unfortunate destinies too.
Getting entangled with unfortunate destinies only brings more suffering.
The way to free herself is to avoid it.
However, while she wished to avoid, Candace Ford thought otherwise.
"Raine..."
The moment she spoke, Candace Ford acted as if she was very familiar with Raine Sinclair and continued, "My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable, Jonas was worried and accompanied me to check it out. Didn’t expect to run into you here."
The tone was soft, yet every word carried a sharp edge. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Raine Sinclair smiled coldly, "Is that so? I won’t disturb you then."
Upon finishing, she was ready to leave.
Yet Candace Ford insisted on keeping her, "Raine, what’s bothering you?"
Since she came to the hospital, she must be unwell.
Candace also wanted to know what’s troubling Raine Sinclair. Digging it up might even bring her some amusement.
Jonas Hawthorne’s gaze naturally fell on Raine Sinclair as well.
Seeing her looking healthy, without signs of illness, his gaze naturally carried some confusion.
"How about... you come upstairs with us? It’s better to have company." Candace Ford proactively invited Raine Sinclair, smiling slightly and stroking her belly, "You haven’t seen Jonas and my child, have you?"
Every word reeked of unabashed boastfulness.
Back facing them, Raine Sinclair clenched her jaw tightly...
This is simply outrageous!
Before she could speak, Jonas Hawthorne already expressed displeasure, "Candace, stop it."
"Jonas, I didn’t mean anything, just happy to see Raine." Candace blinked, her expression suddenly showing a hint of loss, "Alright then... Since Raine doesn’t want to see me and my child, we better leave quickly..."
Throughout, Raine Sinclair never spoke, yet Candace had made her out to be an utterly unforgivable villain!
What a sharp tongue!
Raine Sinclair suddenly clenched her fist, a surge of anger welling up!
She turned, her fiery gaze landing directly on Candace’s delicate face.
"Knowing I don’t want to see you, yet you flaunt it? Candace, if you love the man I discarded, go ahead and take him! Anyway, you love picking up others’ rubbish, don’t you?"
These words left Candace stunned.
Not only her, but even Jonas Hawthorne’s face turned dark suddenly!
Discarded man...
Rubbish...
Talking about him?!
Candace blinked, looked at Jonas Hawthorne, then at Raine Sinclair, "What do you mean?"
"Didn’t I make it clear enough?" Raine Sinclair laughed coldly, then stepped forward two paces, her gaze directly piercing into Candace’s eyes, "Waste utilization is kindly your job. From now on, if you see me, pretend you don’t know me. I don’t want others to think I’m friends with garbage, lowering my standards!"
"You..." Candace was thoroughly intimidated by her enormous presence, couldn’t utter a single complete word for a while.
When she decided to approach Jonas Hawthorne, she thoroughly investigated the marriage between Raine Sinclair and Jonas Hawthorne.
She knew exactly how Raine Sinclair chased after Jonas Hawthorne and what their relationship was like after marriage...
It’s fair to say Raine Sinclair loved Jonas Hawthorne excessively.
How suddenly did he become rubbish?
Jonas Hawthorne also heard this, his aura immediately sank!
"Raine Sinclair!"
He almost gritted his teeth calling these three words!
Upon hearing, Raine Sinclair just shifted her gaze to Jonas Hawthorne’s face.
He’s still as handsome as ever...
With features elegantly handsome and deep, even the contour of his jaw appeared perfect.
He’s truly blessed by God with such a perfect face.
Too bad, he’s unconditionally a scumbag!
Pah!
After countless times of disdain internally, Raine Sinclair vaguely lifted her lips.
"Don’t call me, it’s disgusting to hear."
Tossing him the last words, Raine Sinclair turned and walked quickly towards the exit!
No one noticed, the hands hanging beside her had long quietly clenched into fists!
Who could have thought...
The person from whom she once thought she found eternal love, would now make her feel suffocated to see even for a second!
Upon reaching outside the clinic building, Raine Sinclair took a deep breath and felt unprecedented comfort!
Just after getting into the car back to the company, Easton Yancy’s call came in.
"Ms. Sinclair? Mr. Grant’s secretary just called, saying they want to schedule a time with you to discuss bidding specifics."
"Leon Grant? He agreed?" Raine Sinclair raised her brows, the sadness and pain from earlier instantly cast to the back of her mind, all concerning Leon Grant’s agreement!
With Leon Grant’s participation, this bidding will certainly be high-profile!
This is her first task upon returning to Sinclair Group, she hopes to assert her authority through this, can’t afford any slack!
Easton Yancy’s response quickly reached her ear, "Having discussions means having hope. Should I arrange for two in the afternoon?"
"Just the morning then." Raine Sinclair changed the timing; she’s eager to see Leon Grant now!
