Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 68: If Not for Her, You Wouldn’t Even Bother to Look at Me, Right?
Jordan Holden noticed too, the smile on his lips deepening, "See, Mr. Hawthorne understands this principle very well."
If the situation allowed, Raine really wanted to roll her eyes at this moment.
However, at this time, Jonas Hawthorne had already walked over.
His calm gaze swept over her fair little face before looking at Jordan Holden, "Mr. Holden, you’re here too?"
"Yeah, Raine invited me to play golf. This girl’s skills have regressed a bit!" Jordan Holden replied casually. "Want to practice with Mr. Hawthorne another day?"
"I’d be delighted," Jonas Hawthorne nodded.
Jordan Holden noticed that his words were terse, clearly not intending to chat much, probably here for Raine Sinclair.
So there was no need to be a third wheel here.
He immediately laughed, "I’m a bit thirsty, going for a drink of water, you guys chat!"
With that, he turned and left.
"..." Even Raine could sense his intention.
Just when she was having a headache, she heard Jonas Hawthorne’s question drifting to her ears, "Are you planning to have Finn Wyatt as your guarantor?"
Raine was slightly startled, not understanding how he knew about this, but she didn’t ask, just coldly replied with a few words, "None of your business?"
They had nothing to do with each other now, why did she have to explain her actions to him?
Jonas Hawthorne’s dark eyes sank with displeasure, asking again, "What’s your relationship with him?"
This was a belated question he dearly wanted to know.
"It’s none of your business." Raine didn’t want to say more, pressing down her wide baseball cap, she turned to leave.
But in the next second, her arm was grabbed.
She stopped, looking back at him with extreme impatience, "Mr. Hawthorne, we have nothing to do with each other now. To be pulling and tugging in public, isn’t this affecting you poorly?"
Jonas Hawthorne frowned but released his hand.
Trying to savor her words, a slight melancholy rose in his heart.
Especially when he clearly saw the disgust in her eyes, that feeling of emptiness became overwhelmingly strong...
After a long time, he finally lifted his thin lips, "I’ll be your guarantor."
A voice once cold and indifferent, was now mysteriously tinged with tenderness, like a gentle flowing stream.
Raine almost thought she misheard, she carefully scrutinized Jonas Hawthorne for a moment, "What’s with you lately?"
She really couldn’t understand him.
Avoiding her like the plague when they were together.
And now suddenly being nice to her?
Jonas Hawthorne caught the sarcasm in her tone, his strong pride instantly cutting off eye contact with her.
Turning slightly, his tone plunged back into an icehouse, "Don’t overthink it, I’m just thanking you for taking Candace to the hospital last time."
Raine was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile, "I see. If not for her, you wouldn’t even bother to look at me, right?"
That immensely mocking sentence, Raine was mocking herself.
Indeed, she almost forgot that in Jonas Hawthorne’s eyes, there was only ever Candace.
Were it not for her taking Candace to the hospital, safeguarding his beloved and the child, would he have been this benevolent to help her?
Jonas Hawthorne frowned, turning to look at her, "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning." Raine shrugged indifferently, forcibly suppressing the bitterness in her heart before seriously saying, "Jonas Hawthorne, don’t think I can’t live without you. Sedonia is so big, you’re not the only one who can guarantee, don’t flatter yourself."
Having dropped this line to him, Raine didn’t even bother to see his reaction and directly turned away.
The sunshine was a bit glaring, the atmosphere slightly strange.
Leaving Jonas Hawthorne standing alone in place.
Self-flattering?
His phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, the lines of his jaw unconsciously tightened!
Raine Sinclair, you’re something else!
——
In the distance, Jordan Holden took a sip of water, yet still managed to cast a glance at the two who parted unhappily.
"Being young is great, you can still worry about matters of the heart like this."
He sighed, recalling his own youth that drifted away with the wind.
Now at this age, it’s not that the ability to love is lost, but so much has been experienced, it just doesn’t matter as much...
Maintaining a pure heart is so important.
Immersed in his own world for just a moment, when Jordan Holden looked back, he saw Raine Sinclair already walking toward him.
Her face didn’t look too good.
"Didn’t go well?" Jordan Holden raised an eyebrow, his gossipy heart couldn’t be suppressed.
He was quite familiar with Evan Sinclair, and had watched Raine grow up.
Since she even called him Uncle, naturally, he wanted to care more.
Raine’s expression was slightly weary, "I thought divorce meant we’d never have to see each other again, but it turns out I can’t escape at all."
"That’s because you still care about him." Jordan Holden gave a point-blank conclusion.
"Impossible?" Raine instinctively refuted, "How could I still care about him? I get annoyed whenever I see him!"
Jordan Holden continued laughing, saying with a bit of depth, "If you really didn’t care, even living together would be uneventful. But you, your emotions are so visibly stirred up."
Raine instantly froze.
Was it... a wake-up call?
She still cared about Jonas Hawthorne?
No way!
The moment this thought barely sprang into her mind, Raine completely dismissed it.
"Uncle, you’re overthinking it, I am very peaceful inside right now." She mildly rebutted, unwilling to continue this topic, she asked, "I heard from my father that you own several banks abroad, I don’t know if you’re interested in investing in the Sinclair Group?"
Speaking of which, Jordan Holden shifted focus to business, "Your dad did mention this to me over the phone yesterday. You want a loan to develop a new project, but I heard you went to Sean Ford first? What, he didn’t agree?"
Jordan Holden was quite a successful businessman.
Made a fortune in cash flow businesses back in the day, but it was hard to establish a foothold in the local banks of Sedonia, so he developed abroad.
It’s only in the past ten years he slowly returned to Sedonia to dabble in securities, it seemed he was getting older, pondering returning to his roots, hence gradually shifting his career focus back to Sedonia.
Upon learning of Sean Ford’s requirements, Evan Sinclair immediately devised a two-pronged strategy for Raine, advising her to contact Finn Wyatt and seek out Jordan Holden.
With both avenues pursued, as long as one succeeded, the matter would be settled.
So Raine came looking for Jordan Holden.
Knowing he loved golf, she even changed clothes to accompany him in a game.
When asked about Sean Ford, Raine’s expression didn’t change, she smiled slightly, "Not that he didn’t agree, he just needs two guarantors, said all procedures must be followed."
This official explanation amused Jordan Holden.
No matter how dignified the excuse, it couldn’t hide Sean Ford’s refusal.
This young girl still couldn’t face the truth head-on...
Just as he thought this, he heard her say again, "Actually, I understand in my heart, he’s doubting my ability, simply trying to make me retreat."
Jordan Holden was taken aback, not expecting Raine to speak so frankly.
Seeing Jordan Holden’s expression, Raine continued, "I already told him, this opportunity I can give to him, or to others. If he couldn’t seize it, then I wonder if Uncle, you could recognize potential?"
