Gideon North stumbled backward, and the massive impact also caused Baby Hawthorne to land on the ground, falling solidly on his backside.
Raina North was shocked and quickly picked up Baby Hawthorne, urgently asking, "Does it hurt? Are you injured somewhere?"
"It hurts. My butt really hurts." Baby Hawthorne covered his butt, looking pitiful.
After quickly checking and confirming there were no injuries, Raina finally breathed a sigh of relief, tapped Baby Hawthorne on the forehead, and said harshly, "Serves you right. Who told you to use yourself to hit people?"
"Mommy..." Baby Hawthorne called out pitifully, looking very sorry for himself.
"Silly." Raina still sounded fierce, but her face was full of concern that she couldn’t hide.
Taking advantage of the situation, Baby Hawthorne snuggled into her arms, hugging Raina tightly, feeling fully satisfied. Raina must be his real mom.
Casper North sneered disdainfully, "Truly dumb, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We should just call you foolish in the future. To deal with such trash, you should just shut the door and let the dogs in, instead of getting involved personally."
"Hmph." Baby Hawthorne snorted coldly. It was just that he was too anxious and momentarily forgot.
Being bumped into by a kid who hasn’t grown all his feathers, especially when this kid is his grandson, made Gideon North’s face very unpleasant: "Such a lack of discipline. As your grandfather, I must teach you properly."
Just as he was about to act, Raina stepped in front of the two kids without hesitation.
Baby Hawthorne looked at Raina, who was protecting him, feeling warm inside. Only a mom would protect him . Official source is N0velFire.ɴet
Claire North saw Baby Hawthorne’s reliance on Raina, and a shadow crossed her eyes. Could it be that even after separating them for four years and even taking Raina’s identity, the maternal bond between them hasn’t been severed?
Claire immediately denied it.
She absolutely wouldn’t believe that any relationship in this world couldn’t be severed. Even if there really was one, it didn’t matter, because once she climbs into Elias Hawthorne’s bed and has a child, Baby Hawthorne will be of no use anymore.
By then, she would send the three of them to reunite underground!
Raina coldly looked at Gideon North, "It seems you really see me, Raina North, as a pushover, to be squeezed however you like. Is this because I’m a woman with two kids and no one to back me up?"
Brenda Adler angrily said, "What do you mean with two kids! Have you forgotten that Baby is Claire’s child, with nothing to do with you!"
Gideon also said coldly, "Raina, if you still want to be my daughter, you better stay away from Baby."
Raina said sincerely, "Then I must get closer to Baby, as for you, well..."
Casper stuck his head out, face full of defiance, and mocked, "Someone like you pretending to be a father? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at until you lose your teeth!"
Baby nodded vigorously, "That’s right. Scum of a dad!"
Gideon almost exploded in anger.
Raina ignored him and looked at Baby Hawthorne again and asked, "Baby, tell them, whose son are you?"
Baby Hawthorne loudly said, "I am Raina’s son. Raina is my mommy, my real mommy!"
Claire looked deeply hurt, clutching her chest, speaking with bitter agony, "Baby, I know these years I’ve been neglectful, but you can’t just deny me as your birth mother. Doing this is like digging into my heart!"
Baby Hawthorne sneered, mimicking Casper’s big eye roll, "Save it. Stop calling yourself my birth mother. Whether you are or not, the paternity test will make it clear."
Brenda and Claire’s faces dramatically changed, their bodies instantly stiffening.
