Seeing that he planned to follow them back, Raina refused: "Thank you so much for your help today, President Hawthorne. It’s getting late, you should head home and rest early."
"Yes, I should rest early." Elias Hawthorne locked the car door, "Let’s go, Mrs. Hawthorne."
Raina felt goosebumps rising on her skin.
She swore she must end this damn marriage quickly.
The whole Mrs. Hawthorne thing was too challenging! Afterward, she would definitely keep a safe distance from Elias Hawthorne; this man was too dangerous.
But come to think of it, if he weren’t dangerous, he couldn’t have chased her around half the globe.
"Mrs. Hawthorne, are you still standing there waiting for me to carry you?"
Raina, helpless, could do nothing but follow along.
Inside the apartment, it was bustling with activity.
As soon as Raina stepped out of the elevator, she heard the voice of Casper North talking with Baby Hawthorne, along with another man’s voice.
Raina frowned slightly and hurried a few steps; the voices in the room became clearer.
"Uncle, I want a game room."
"Uncle, and a study room."
"Uncle, uncle, also need to renovate a princess room."
At this, Baby Hawthorne looked at Casper North with a curious expression: "Brother North, didn’t expect you to have such a hobby." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
A perfectly good boy, but with a pink princess heart.
Jasper Hawthorne: "Who says a young boy can’t have a princess heart, no problem, no problem."
"That’s what you guys don’t know." Casper North snorted, feeling a sense of holding a secret only he knew.
Baby Hawthorne: "Most importantly, need one more nursery, just in case..."
"Just in case of what?"
"Just in case one day mommy gives me a little sister."
"Maybe it won’t just be one sister." Casper North opined, respecting his mom’s strength. After all, she did bear three in one go.
Right after saying that, he suddenly felt something was off.
Baby Hawthorne and Casper North froze, exchanged a look first, and then slowly turned back to see Raina standing at the door with a frosty face, smiling sinisterly at them.
The two little guys called out in unison.
Raina raised her chin: "Come on, explain what’s happening here?"
"Uh... Raina, it’s ..." Casper North racked his brains, thinking about how to put it gently so Raina wouldn’t get too angry.
Before he could figure it out, Jasper Hawthorne came out with someone: "Sis, big bro, why are you back so soon?"
Saying this, his eyes naturally drifted to Elias Hawthorne’s lower abdomen.
Looks like his brother really had a problem pent up over the years, to be so incapable.
As the good brother of Veridia, he must arrange a doctor for his brother, uh... facing his brother’s death glare, Jasper still decided to entrust this glorious task to grandma.
Anyway, no matter what, his brother wouldn’t dare be unfilial.
"Sis, this is the preliminary design draft, see if you have any other opinions?" Jasper quickly handed the plans to Raina.
Raina glanced at it, raising an eyebrow: "What does this mean?"
"Oh, it’s just that I see you and my brother are having more and more kids, and this three-bedroom place is awfully cramped. So, I thought about it and bought the entire floor to redesign it." Jasper thought he was incredibly clever, but still modestly said, "Sis, you don’t have to overpraise me."
"..." Raina took deep breaths several times, barely maintaining her composure, and with a stiff smile, pointed to the door: "Get out! Quick like a bunny!"
