"Of course not." Raina North took a deep breath, looking at him earnestly: "President Hawthorne, I know you mean well. But by doing this, you’re really making everyone misunderstand the relationship between us. This definitely isn’t something you want to see, right."
"The relationship between us? What do you mean? A marital relationship? Isn’t that the fact? Is it that I can’t face the world, or is it you who can’t be in the spotlight?"
"..." Raina frowned, "You know that’s not what I mean." Discover more novels at novel⦿fire.net
"Then what meaningless thing do you mean?"
"President Hawthorne, I was indeed pregnant back then, and I don’t even know who the father of the child was." Originally, she thought she had found her eldest son and the child’s biological father.
But no, Elias Hawthorne was not the child’s biological father, her child still couldn’t find his roots, her eldest son still didn’t know where he belonged.
She didn’t even know how her child was doing?
Elias Hawthorne’s eyes were tightly locked on her face, unwilling to miss even an inch, despite her cold expression, he still saw a hint of tears flash in her eyes.
At eighteen, she realized she was a child switched at birth, and since then could only live in a family where she no longer had a place, imagining the awkwardness and the caution she had to exercise.
Later on, she allowed the sister brought back to step on her spine and soar, snatching away her fiancé, and in the end, leaving her with a pair of stillborns.
Elias Hawthorne raised his hand, his rough thumb caressing her brow: "Who was that man?"
Raina’s expression suddenly changed drastically, her emotions turned agitated, her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "I want to know too!"
Then, she’d chop that bastard man into pieces and feed him to the dogs!
Unfortunately, she had investigated this for a long time, even hacked into Claire North’s phone, but still couldn’t find that old man who paid heavily for a child.
He seemed to have evaporated from the earth.
Elias Hawthorne didn’t miss the anger in Raina’s eyes, and his mood suddenly improved a little.
Since the man didn’t show up before, he shouldn’t show up in the future either, otherwise, he’s afraid he’d tear him apart.
Raina took a step back, distancing herself from him and avoiding his hand, her pretty face tightened, exuding a coldness that kept people a thousand miles away: "President Hawthorne, please stay away from me. Perhaps I need to make myself clearer, your repeated interruptions and overstepping actions make me very troubled. I hope President Hawthorne can be more considerate."
Just as she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.
Raina unhesitatingly stepped out in large strides.
Elias Hawthorne followed with his long strides, facing Raina’s cold gaze, he slightly curled his thin lips: "Mrs. Hawthorne, have you forgotten? This fundraising ceremony is being held specifically for The Hawthorne Group, are you sure you want to kick me out?"
Casper North glanced at the long tail following him: "Hey, black-hearted with a white face, are you sure with all these tails you’re bringing, the items you deliver can smoothly enter the appraisal room? I’m afraid we haven’t even walked out of here, and your daddy will already know."
"I want my daddy to know. As long as it’s proven that Lotus White is a big fraud, my daddy will definitely kick her out immediately. If there’s no blood relationship, do you really think my daddy would force me to recognize her as my mom?"
"What if that Lotus White is really your biological mom? You might be forced to call her mom."
"There won’t be such a possibility!" Baby Hawthorne gritted his teeth, "If my daddy dares to do that, then I’ll usurp the throne. When I’m in power, let’s see who dares to force me to recognize Lotus White!"
