When Raina North arrived at the restaurant, she didn’t see Elias Hawthorne and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After having a simple breakfast and bidding farewell to Old Mrs. Hawthorne, the electric cart she had called previously was already waiting at the door.
A dozen minutes later, as Raina North got off the cart and walked into the parking lot, she saw Elias Hawthorne standing in front of her car.
Why is this man so persistent!
Elias Hawthorne heard footsteps, looked up, and saw Raina North.
Seeing Raina North looking like she was about to turn away, he felt quite displeased and slightly raised his chin: "Open the car door."
"I’m not going in the same direction as President Hawthorne."
"That’s my business."
Elias Hawthorne reminded her, "If you keep delaying, you’ll be late."
Raina North raised her wrist to check the time. It really was getting late, so she suppressed her anger, unlocked the car door, and got in.
Elias Hawthorne opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Raina North started the car.
While waiting at a red light, she finally couldn’t hold it in: "Elias Hawthorne, what exactly do you want to do?"
Elias Hawthorne turned his head to look at Raina North and said flatly, "What I want to do, don’t you know?"
Raina North frowned, her expression showing irritation. Elias Hawthorne never hid anything, and she knew exactly what he meant.
Raina North’s expression was cold: "I’m not interested in you."
Elias Hawthorne was very surprised: "Why."
"Because you slept with Claire North." Raina North said seriously, "I find you dirty."
Just the thought of Elias Hawthorne having been involved with Claire North made Raina North feel a visceral disgust, wishing this man would get far away from her.
Elias Hawthorne’s face suddenly darkened, and the air inside the car instantly became stagnant.
Raina North was unmoved. The whole reason she married into the Hawthorne Family was to find her son.
But the test results told her Baby wasn’t his child, so there was no longer any need for her marriage to Elias Hawthorne.
Elias Hawthorne was well aware of Raina North’s intentions, and this awareness made him unhappy.
Just then, her phone unexpectedly rang.
Raina North took it out and saw that the call was from Baby Hawthorne.
Elias Hawthorne’s gaze swept over, taking in the number on the screen, and he sneered, "Since you think I’m dirty for being involved with Claire North, then Baby Hawthorne, as Claire’s child, must be even dirtier in your eyes. From this moment on, I’ll forbid Baby from seeing you again. If he dares to be disobedient, I’ll send him abroad, never allowing him to return." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novᴇlfire.net
Raina North gave Elias Hawthorne a cold glance, "Where do you get the confidence, President Hawthorne, to think you can compare yourself to Baby?"
She might reject Elias Hawthorne, but she adored Baby. Even if he was Claire North’s child, she couldn’t help but love him. If it weren’t for Elias Hawthorne’s cunning, she would’ve long taken Baby and fled to faraway places.
Ignoring Elias Hawthorne’s unpleasant expression, Raina North swiped her fingers across the screen and answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Baby Hawthorne’s urgent voice came through: "Mommy, a strange woman is pretending to be Casper’s mother to take him away! She also warned us that if we don’t hand over Casper, she’ll call the police!"
"What?" Raina North’s expression changed dramatically. In that instant, countless chaotic thoughts flashed through her mind.
For a little rascal like Casper North, the number of people he could have offended is limited, and there are very few who would go to such great lengths to take him away.
Unless her identity has been exposed.
Over the years, she had offended quite a few people, some of whom were especially dangerous.
