Elias Hawthorne felt a bit dazed. Since that incident, it seemed he hadn’t seen his son so happy again.
The business of selling the child for five million, let it be only that once. If she dares to hurt Baby again, he won’t hesitate to be ruthless. The source of thɪs content is Nove1Fire.net
Soon, Raina North brought a cup of chrysanthemum tea and placed it in front of Elias Hawthorne.
Elias Hawthorne nodded but didn’t reach out to touch it, just sat there expressionless.
Under his gaze, Raina North felt a bit uneasy, couldn’t help but find something to say.
Unfortunately, Elias Hawthorne wasn’t cooperative at all, sticking to his idea that silence is golden.
Raina North felt like crying without tears, damn it, this was too hard to deal with.
Thankfully, Baby was here, otherwise, the awkwardness would have been unbearable, right?
At this time, the water in the pot boiled, and the base ingredients previously added released an enticing aroma into the air.
Seeing Baby frequently craning his neck, Raina North pinched his nose, "Mommy is making hot pot, does Baby want some?"
"Yes." Baby Hawthorne licked his lips, looking like a greedy cat.
Raina North couldn’t help but smile again, picked up Baby, and seeing Elias Hawthorne still sitting on the sofa, casually invited, "President Hawthorne, would you like some?"
Elias Hawthorne: "Okay."
Raina North was taken aback, she had just been polite, hadn’t expected him to actually agree!
People like Elias Hawthorne, haven’t they tasted all kinds of gourmet foods? How could he want to eat cheap hot pot with her?
Moreover, in Elias Hawthorne’s mind, she was actually an ill-intentioned woman.
Elias Hawthorne got up and walked to the dining room, glanced at the table, "Is there anyone else in your family?"
"No." Seeing Elias Hawthorne staring at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, Raina North called out in her heart, oh no, she had forgotten to put away the tableware Casper used earlier.
She simply pushed the tableware in front of Baby, then showed Elias Hawthorne an awkward smile, "I didn’t expect President Hawthorne to lower himself and stay... I swear, it’s definitely not trying to drive you away, President Hawthorne, please don’t misunderstand."
Raina North was madly screaming in her heart, just go, go, hurry up and leave.
Elias Hawthorne gave Raina North a glance, looked at her expectant expression, "Okay."
Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Raina North wished she could slap herself, what was the point of her being so polite?
But there was no choice, she couldn’t really drive him away, so she had to fetch another set of tableware from the kitchen.
Still unwilling to give up, Raina North made one last attempt, "The base ingredient I bought is quite spicy."
Baby Hawthorne: "Alright."
Elias Hawthorne slightly raised his chin, "Cook the vegetables."
Raina North had no options left, she brought out the prepared side dishes, rolled up her sleeves, and diligently served Lord Hawthorne.
Initially, she was very worried about Baby, when they first met the little one’s health wasn’t good, and she feared he couldn’t handle such spicy food. After thinking about it, she heated a cup of milk and brought it over, letting him settle his stomach first.
Elias Hawthorne was just about to remind Raina North that Baby doesn’t drink milk, when he saw Baby lift the milk and gulp it down.
Elias Hawthorne’s expression slightly changed.
Baby’s personality was stubborn; once he decided on something, even nine oxen couldn’t drag him away, even as his dad, Elias was helpless.
But in this woman’s hands, he was as obedient as a little angel.
Is it simply because she is Baby’s biological mother?
But such a biological mother...
Elias Hawthorne couldn’t help but take another look at Raina North.
