Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 37: You’re Pregnant, Don’t Run Around
At the same time, the death-laden gaze of Jonas Hawthorne also fell upon Raine Sinclair!
It was clearly a bright sunny day, yet the atmosphere among the crowd was as cold and dark as if they were in a haunted house!
Raine Sinclair’s brows furrowed slightly, but before she could speak, Leon Grant had already stepped forward, enveloping her entirely behind him!
"I didn’t expect Mr. Hawthorne to also be here, and with this companion..."
With just one sentence, he diverted Candace Ford’s question and deflected all the barbs!
Everyone’s attention shifted to Jonas Hawthorne and Candace Ford.
Except for Leon Grant, everyone knew who Ms. Candace Ford was.
She was The Mistress who rose to the top and was now pregnant; no one dared to ask further.
Only Leon Grant could...
Yvette Yates, enjoying the show, nudged Aaron Jacobs with her elbow, "Honey, how do you think Jonas Hawthorne will introduce her?"
"How would I know?" Aaron Jacobs snorted, "I only told Leon Grant to bring a date, I didn’t tell Jonas Hawthorne. He brought her on his own, don’t blame me!"
Aaron Jacobs still had a strong will to live!
When the affair between Jonas Hawthorne and Candace Ford first came to light, Yvette Yates cursed them at home, despising the mistress from the depths of her soul!
When she saw Jonas Hawthorne arrive with Candace Ford earlier, Aaron Jacobs’ blood pressure spiked once!
He had just managed to appease his wife, and now in the blink of an eye, Leon Grant brought Raine Sinclair!
Today was truly an unfortunate day, clearly a war zone!
Yvette Yates wasn’t aware of her husband’s crafty thoughts; she was just intently watching Jonas Hawthorne, waiting to see what else he might say!
However, Yvette Yates waited anxiously for ages, but Jonas Hawthorne didn’t speak up.
Instead, Candace Ford eagerly began to introduce herself.
"Hello, Mr. Grant, I’m Jonas’s girlfriend, my name is Candace Ford."
She immediately assumed the role of a girlfriend, making Jonas Hawthorne’s eyes darken, with a hint of displeasure.
Hearing this, Yvette Yates started considering in her heart, just as she suspected!
Instinctively she wanted to see how Raine Sinclair reacted, but she saw that her delicate face remained indifferent, without the slightest change in emotion, as if she didn’t care at all.
She was instantly stunned.
Yvette Yates could see in the past how deeply Raine Sinclair loved Jonas Hawthorne, so how did her gaze suddenly turn so cold?
As if the people standing in front of her were not her ex-husband and The Mistress, but more like strangers?
Raine Sinclair seemed to sense someone looking at her, and when she looked up, she happened to see Yvette Yates quickly averting her gaze and pretending to scratch her head.
Lightly lifting a corner of her lip, Raine Sinclair guessed what she was thinking.
They were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and they probably had endless things to say.
Leon Grant turned to look at Jonas Hawthorne, a smile tugging at his lips, "Mr. Hawthorne, you’re quite lucky with the ladies."
It wasn’t exactly a compliment, but there was no hostility.
Jonas Hawthorne glanced at Raine Sinclair beside Leon Grant, then returned his gaze to Leon Grant, his lips slightly curling, "Same to you."
The cold words exploded with a strong pressure as if a deity had descended!
Leon Grant, naturally unwilling to be outdone, seemed to clash in the air with Jonas Hawthorne’s aura!
The birds perched in the trees were so startled they flew away in a flurry!
And the situation...
Aaron Jacobs saw the tension was wrong and quickly rushed between the two, laughing to ease the atmosphere, "All the ingredients are ready, let’s... let’s start barbecuing! It takes a while!"
The plan for the day was a leisurely outdoor barbecue, and no servants were brought along.
They were used to being pampered at home, and it was rare to have a chance to do it themselves!
Yvette Yates quickly joined in, pulling Raine Sinclair along, "Yes, yes, Raine, we haven’t seen each other in a while, have we? Come help me wash the vegetables! Oh, I picked these myself!"
Saying that, she pulled Raine Sinclair away.
The standoff between Jonas Hawthorne and Leon Grant was interrupted, and suddenly everyone seemed busy.
Raine Sinclair wanted to go back and take a look, but Yvette Yates wouldn’t let go, "Let them talk, you come chat with me!"
"Alright." Raine Sinclair finally came back to her senses, looking at the vegetables Yvette Yates was holding, she helped tidy them up, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Oh, just about daily life!" Yvette Yates chuckled, then asked, "How have you been lately? You seem to have lost a lot of weight."
Raine Sinclair sighed inwardly, how could she not lose weight?
Being pregnant gave her no appetite, and Jonas Hawthorne had disgusted her...
It was only after returning home, not wanting to worry her parents, that she forced herself to eat more.
Otherwise, she’d be even thinner.
Though that’s what she thought, her words were, "I’m eating well and sleeping well, just not gaining weight, which is frustrating."
Yvette Yates was originally worried, but after hearing this, her actions stiffened, and she took a long time to recover, "Hey! How can you be so envious? I’m telling you, I don’t eat much, but I just can’t lose the weight on my belly! You’re lucky to have such a good figure!"
People who can’t gain weight are truly enviable to death!
Just as they started chatting, Candace Ford began plotting.
She had been sticking to Jonas Hawthorne’s side, and after glancing at Raine Sinclair not far away, rolling her eyes, she said, "Jonas, they don’t need my help with the barbecue grill, so why don’t I see if Yvette and the others need any help?"
Upon hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne’s brow furrowed tightly, "You’re pregnant, don’t run around."
"I’m fine! I just want to stretch my legs." Candace Ford smiled coyly, seeming to enjoy the concern.
Aaron Jacobs overheard and blinked, quickly chiming in, "Exactly, Ms. Ford, perhaps sit here for a while! I’ll bring you some fruit?"
"No need, I’ll go cut it myself." With that, Candace Ford released Jonas Hawthorne’s arm and headed toward the villa.
Aaron Jacobs let out a long breath of relief, seeing she didn’t head toward Raine Sinclair.
Sigh.
They say three women make a play; there were exactly three here today, and if they got together, who knows what would happen!
He had initially invited Leo Keane, but that guy said without a date he didn’t want to come eat dog food, otherwise, it wouldn’t just be him facing such a scene!
As Aaron Jacobs was deeply pondering, Leon Grant suddenly remarked, "Mr. Hawthorne is quite attentive to his girlfriend."
The atmosphere that had only just calmed down suddenly tensed up again!
