Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 39: He Proposed to Me Long Ago

Even though Raine Sinclair is now divorced, Jonas Hawthorne’s first marriage will always be with her.

How could a mistress like Candace Ford dare to flaunt herself in front of me?

Biting her teeth silently, Raine Sinclair knew she wasn’t one to stir up trouble, but since the other party had come straight to her, don’t blame her for not holding back!

What’s more, if it weren’t for Candace’s interference, she wouldn’t have lost her marriage!

It’s not about blaming anyone; Raine knows these are her karmic consequences. When fate ends, it ends, but she can’t let a mistress trample over her!

Candace trembled with rage, yet on the surface, she still pretended to be calm, gently stroking her belly.

"Do you really think it’s because he doesn’t want to? Jonas proposed to me long ago; I just felt that he has just been divorced, and having him immediately arrange a wedding wouldn’t look good for his reputation. Besides..."

At this moment, Candace deliberately paused for a moment and then laughed, "I’m pregnant, so it’s not convenient to do many things, and Jonas is worried about me exhausting myself. With his care for me, I’m content."

In reality, Jonas Hawthorne had never proposed to her.

Whenever she wanted to bring it up, the subject always changed.

Raine thought she could remain indifferent, but when she really heard these words, her heart tightened.

"Is that so."

She smiled slightly, forcefully suppressing all bitterness in her heart.

Candace wanted to provoke her, but who would have guessed she would be so composed?

She almost ground her silver teeth to bits!

Just when she was at a loss, Candace glanced sideways and saw Leon Grant not far away, suddenly having a plan, she asked Raine Sinclair, "I once thought you loved Jonas deeply, but hadn’t you just found a new flame after your divorce?"

Raine’s brows raised lightly, it seems everyone assumed she was with Leon Grant.

She suddenly recalled what Leon had said to her earlier...

In that case, she might as well make use of Leon Grant!

"Men are nothing, do you really think they’re that important?"

Her lips parted, the words she spoke were ethereal and melodious, as light as a feather, fluttering away in the wind.

"..." Candace was momentarily stunned.

Unspeakably, she felt the woman in front of her seemed somewhat different.

She remembered the night Jonas Hawthorne brought her home, Raine Sinclair was pale, trembling all over, not even daring to glance at her...

Yet in just a few days, how did Raine seem like a completely different person?

The person in front of her, her features and figure unmistakably belonged to her, that couldn’t be wrong!

After a brief chaos, Candace took a deep breath, trying to get her thoughts back on track.

"The Grant Family is also renowned, do you think they’ll accept a divorced woman?" Candace asked again.

If confronted with a woman truly in love with Leon Grant, Candace’s words might have made her lose her composure.

Unfortunately for Candace, Raine Sinclair had faced many hardships and no longer cared about these things. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She even chuckled coldly, "So what’s wrong with being divorced? If Leon Grant doesn’t perform well, I’ll leave him. Unlike you, as a mistress, even if you can bear a son, do you really think the Hawthorne Family will accept you? That would be a lifelong shame!"

A beautiful counterattack, hitting the most vulnerable root in Candace’s heart!

"Raine Sinclair, I kindly reminded you, yet you curse me in return?!" Unable to hold back, Candace shouted, her features gradually contorting!

Seeing her like this, Raine kindly reminded, "Don’t get worked up yet! We barely chatted for a minute and you’re already losing it, what about when we eat together later? Your carefully maintained gentle and kind image for Jonas Hawthorne will be destroyed, are you willing?"

"You!" Candace clenched her fists. If she could, she’d want to rush up and tear the woman’s mouth apart!

How could she speak so well?!

This didn’t match at all with the neglected, powerless person she remembered!

"Anyway, I have no time to curse you." Raine continued, "You like Jonas Hawthorne, I’ll let you have him, just be content as Mrs. Hawthorne, why come bother me?"

Candace gritted her teeth.

She did want to be Mrs. Hawthorne, but Jonas hadn’t married her!

Not only that, she suspected Jonas Hawthorne felt differently about this Raine Sinclair.

That’s precisely why she clung to Raine without letting go!

"I..." Candace opened her mouth, about to refute, when Yvette Yates returned.

She intentionally lingered for a while, finally bringing some juice over when she couldn’t restrain herself any longer, finding the two were still talking, feeling a bit awkward.

"You guys... are a little thirsty, aren’t you? Have some juice..."

Raine looked towards the voice, seeing Yvette had arrived, instantly ending her discussion with Candace and asked, "We haven’t gathered in a while, how do Aaron Jacobs and Leon Grant know each other?"

"I’ve heard they’re childhood friends?" Yvette sat down, speaking of her husband came naturally, "But then Leon went abroad, and contact decreased. This time, they hadn’t been together for a long time, so..."

At this moment, Yvette instinctively paused.

Such a coincidence, otherwise how could Sedonia’s hottest figures all gather here?

"I see." Raine continued the conversation without asking further.

Candace looked at them and suddenly asked Raine, sounding strange, "Haven’t you gotten together with Leon Grant? Don’t tell me he hasn’t even shared this with you?"

Such an obvious attempt to sow discord, Raine naturally caught it.

She glanced at Candace’s thin face, devoid of any flesh, suddenly puzzled how Jonas Hawthorne took a liking to her?

Candace felt uneasy under her gaze, "Why... are you staring at me?"

Yvette noticed the tension and quickly laughed to change the subject, "Um... they seem nearly ready there, let’s quickly go over, see how the men’s grilled meat turns out!"

Saying this, she stood up first.

Raine smiled and got up, not casting another glance at Candace.

This infuriated Candace, her teeth clenched again, yet she couldn’t do anything about Raine Sinclair!

Yvette initially thought bringing them over would ease the tension a bit, but didn’t anticipate the gathering would directly escalate the battle to its peak.

After a whirlwind of smoke and heat, the meat and dishes were nearly ready, and the six gathered around the table to sit.

Candace glanced at Raine across the table, then turned to Jonas Hawthorne, whining, "After I got pregnant, my legs swelled badly, my shoes don’t fit anymore. Once you’re done, accompany me to buy a new pair, will you?"
