Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 75: Let Me Take Good Care of You

During the summer vacation of freshman year, she found a job at a fruit store near the university, where Diane Linton, who was about her age, had already become the store manager and had even interviewed her.

To this day, whenever she thinks of Diane Linton, she can’t help but smile.

She really was a girl who loved to smile, but unfortunately, fate was too cruel to her, taking her life at the most beautiful age.

When Diane Linton passed away, she lay quietly in her hospital bed, having lost all her hair due to chemotherapy.

Her veins were so fragile that needles couldn’t penetrate, and they had to find a vein at the top of her head, which meant she couldn’t even wear a hat...

Once, when Raine Sinclair went to see her, she couldn’t hold back her tears and asked Raine if she looked very ugly now.

Every time Raine saw her like this, she couldn’t help but cry with her...

Perhaps her departure that winter was also a form of release.

Leaving only endless thoughts of her for this group of friends.

It was only now that Raine Sinclair finally understood that saying.

Some people are dead, but she will forever live on.

Finn Wyatt was also silent for a long time, as if Sean Ford’s words had taken him back to those unforgettable days.

He still remembered his first encounter with Diane Linton, on a midsummer afternoon.

He had parked his car by the street, ran out of cigarettes, so he went to buy a pack, and when he returned he saw a little girl on a bicycle had scratched his car.

He watched from a distance but didn’t approach.

He thought for sure that the girl would run away, but to his surprise, she stopped, carefully examining the scratches on the car, looking around when she couldn’t find the owner, she seemed a bit anxious and took out paper and pen from her backpack to write something down.

It was then he walked over, the girl seemed initially delighted but then full of apologies, promising to compensate him for all the damages.

Later he learned that the girl was named Diane Linton, who was not from a wealthy family, and she worked at the fruit store to pay him back.

Diane couldn’t pay back all the money at once, so she gave him a little each month, and whenever she visited, she brought him some seasonal fruit.

Gradually, through these exchanges, they got to know each other well.

And then, there were different feelings between them.

There were indeed some beautiful days...

Unfortunately, those days became the eternal memory of his life.

Closing his eyes, Finn Wyatt quickly pulled himself out of the past and turned to Raine, frowning, "Sean Ford won’t give you the loan?"

The matter of Raine being unable to find someone to guarantee her had been widely discussed, and as the person involved, he couldn’t act ignorant.

"Yes." Raine nodded, not planning to hide it, but she asked more, "Do you have any grudge with him?"

"No." Finn Wyatt answered negatively without a second thought.

Although the Wyatt Family tended to act ruthlessly, they weren’t bad people, but there were three types of people they generally wouldn’t engage with.

People of power, wealth, and those who hold cash.

Sean Ford belonged to the third category.

Who among those in business would provoke someone from the bank for no reason?

Hearing him speak so definitively, Raine’s doubts deepened.

If there wasn’t any grudge between Finn Wyatt and Sean Ford, then why would Sean send her to find Finn?

Could it really be just a simple coincidence?

Finn found her incoherent question somewhat strange and, seeing her falling silent again, frowned, "I can guarantee for you."

He figured she was too embarrassed to ask, so he offered.

Raine was slightly surprised, looking up at him with a hint of astonishment.

Finn felt awkward under her gaze and unconsciously turned his view sideways, continuing, "You came to me that day with Diane’s letter, consider it a thank you gift."

Hearing him bring it up, Raine remembered. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Before her divorce from Jonas Hawthorne, one day she was sorting through old things at home and accidentally found some stuff Diane left her, including two letters.

One was for her, the other for Finn Wyatt.

She opened hers, it was Diane’s last farewell to her.

She sent Finn’s directly to the Wyatt Group.

Now thinking back, her heart filled with unaccountable remorse.

"I should have noticed earlier. After all these years, I finally gave it to you. I wonder if knowing this would make Diane sad..." Sighing, Raine didn’t expect Diane to have tucked the letters behind the photo frame of them together.

Finn waved it off, "You don’t need to blame yourself. Diane wrote in the letter that whether I receive it or not all depends on fate. Perhaps it would be a month, perhaps a year, or maybe a lifetime. And she said..."

"Said what?" Raine quickly asked.

This time, Finn didn’t respond immediately.

He fell into silence.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "She asked me to take good care of you."

When he said these words, his tone noticeably softened.

But Raine didn’t notice any of this; instead, she pondered Diane’s intention, "So she had thought so far ahead..."

Finn nodded unconsciously, "Didn’t she always like to think too much?"

Still in a daze, a gust of night wind blew by Raine.

Slightly cool.

She rubbed her arms, then said, "It’s getting late, I should go now."

Saying so, she moved to open the car door.

Seeing her about to leave, Finn blurted out, "Are you ready for tomorrow’s bidding meeting?"

"Almost," Raine replied.

"I heard there’ll be many participants this time?" Finn asked again.

Raine gave a faint smile, "Not too bad."

"Then you need to be careful."

Suddenly Finn’s eyes dimmed, speaking earnestly.

The atmosphere, previously light, turned somewhat serious by his words.

Raine’s eyebrows raised suddenly, "What do you mean?"

She suddenly recalled the words Jonas had said to her.

And now Finn was saying the same...

Do they not trust her capability, or do they know something more?

But it was just a simple bidding meeting, what major issue could arise?

Seeing her serious question, Finn answered, "It’s based on experience. The Sinclair Group has made many enemies over the years, and naturally, perhaps there are people who hold grudges against you, plotting secretly, which is hard to guard against."

He didn’t know any inside information.

But having seen a lot, naturally, he was cautious and vigilant.

The same goes for Jonas Hawthorne.

Compared to Raine, they had more experience and means.

Both were experienced veterans, and Raine, in front of them, was like a beginner little bird...

And Raine knew this too, which is why she had Leon Grant join her team.

With Leon there, she felt secure. Now, being repeatedly reminded by Jonas and Finn, she was getting nervous.

Especially regarding that phrase, people who hold grudges against her...

"Tomorrow..." Raine opened her mouth but was cut short by Finn’s sudden interjection, "Tomorrow my people will also attend the bidding. If nothing happens by the final round, my people will withdraw.

If anyone intends to sabotage, then this project, I will take over on behalf of the Wyatt Group.

You just need to keep control of the overall situation, and don’t worry too much about other things."
