"Wait for me a moment." Elias Hawthorne turned to Raina North: "I’ll have someone send you back."
"No need." Raina North refused: "Baby and Casper are still in the car." Seeing Shea walk in, she waved to Elias Hawthorne: "I’m leaving."
After speaking, she pulled Shea away from the office without looking back.
Elias Hawthorne watched as Raina North left without a glance, feeling suddenly heartbroken.
That woman completely doesn’t care about him, or even show any level of concern!
He’s always known this, yet it still stings.
Baby Hawthorne kept leaning on the car window, staring intently at the entrance of The Hawthorne Group. Newest update provided by novelꞁire.net
"You’re so reluctant to leave Mommy, why didn’t you go up with her earlier?"
Baby Hawthorne glanced at Casper North like he was looking at an idiot: "What if Daddy gets jealous and doesn’t let me go home with Mommy?"
Listening to Baby Hawthorne mumbling continuously, Casper North couldn’t help but say: "Mommy will come down in a bit, do you really need to stare so longingly?"
He’s turning into a wishing stone for Raina.
"You don’t understand my deep love for Mommy."
"Ugh—" Casper North almost threw up, finally lifting his head: "You sneaky little schemer, even if you disgust me , you’ll never get the chance to have Mommy all to yourself."
"Humph, when have I had Mommy all to myself? Haven’t you always been a nuisance between me and Mommy?"
Casper North laughed angrily: "Sneaky little schemer, did you forget, your mom isn’t the same person as my mom."
As he was about to speak, Baby Hawthorne suddenly pushed open the car door and dashed over: "Mommy, you’re finally back."
Raina North looked at Baby Hawthorne hugging her leg with excitement and couldn’t help but pat his head: "Hmm."
She still disliked Claire North, and there was no chance for reconciliation in this lifetime, yet she couldn’t bring herself to dis child.
Raina North let Baby Hawthorne lead her, seeing Shea stand in place, she gave a cold look: "Why are you still standing there? Get over here."
"Oh oh." Shea ran over, grabbed Raina North’s other hand, and stretched his head to look at Baby Hawthorne: "Mommy, is this my poor big brother?"
Looks not so smart, and like a devoted follower.
A flash of pain passed through Raina North’s eyes as she tried to stay calm: "No, he’s not your big brother."
Shea was a little surprised, just about to speak, but saw Casper North in the car frantically making eye signals at her.
The drive back was filled with a somber mood.
Raina North looked at the child walking alone on the side of the road, then suddenly remembered something Claire North once said: "...Your eldest son was sold to a beggar ring by me, one day you might walk past a smelly beggar with missing limbs on the street, and that would be your child."
Hearing Casper North’s cry, Raina North snapped back to reality, seeing the car charging straight towards the crosswalk, she immediately hit the brakes and turned the wheel.
The car crashed into the flowerbed by the roadside, with the front hood dented.
Raina North hurriedly got out of the car and helped up the young woman who had fallen on the ground: "Are you okay? Did you get hurt somewhere?"
The young woman uttered just one word before fainting, bright red blood slowly flowed from her legs.
Raina North’s heart tightened.
Casper North immediately handed her the silver needles: "Mommy, silver needles."
Raina North didn’t dare delay, took out the silver needles quickly stabbing them into the acupoints on the young woman’s body, her fingers moving swiftly.
