As soon as Raina looked up, she saw Elias Hawthorne, who had just walked in with the key, saying intolerantly, "President Hawthorne, don’t you think you’re being a bit too audacious coming and going as you please?"
"Is there a problem?"
Elias nodded, "I know, it’s my home too."
"..." Raina couldn’t stand it, "The name on the property deed is mine, Raina North, not yours!"
"But your name is on my household registry, Raina. Legally, we are considered family."
"..." Raina didn’t want to keep nagging about this; saying more would be pointless. She took a deep breath, "Just say it already, what are you doing here this time?"
Elias was somewhat surprised, "How did you know I had a reason for coming here?"
Raina sneered, "Whenever you raise your butt, I know exactly what you’re up to."
"Raina, I’m so glad you care about me so thoroughly."
"..." Raina was utterly speechless, "Get out, get out, get out!"
"Not going." Elias pulled Raina’s hand, kissed her palm, and seeing Raina was about to hit him, he quickly changed the subject, "Quinn just came to see me."
Raina’s demeanor suddenly became cold, her tone indifferent, "Oh, really?"
Elias glanced at Raina, saying, "Quinn told me that seven years ago he registered for marriage with Anya Forrest. Today, he took Anya to the civil affairs bureau to check their marriage registration records, only to find he’s still listed as single.
He came to me for help to investigate, and I found that half a year ago, Wraith had once hacked into the civil affairs bureau and erased the marriage records of Quinn and Anya."
"Raina, do you have nothing to say about this strange happening?"
"I do." Raina withdrew her hand and looked at Elias, "I pity the poor girl who will marry Quinn in the future, unknowingly ending up with a twice-married man."
Raina put away the surgery plan and picked up her handbag.
"Are you going to visit Grandpa?"
"Yeah." Raina walked toward the foyer, glanced at the man following her, and couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you following me?"
Raina couldn’t help herself, "Please, he’s my grandpa."
"That’s why I need to visit him as his grandson-in-law."
"..." Raina took a deep breath and sincerely said, "There’s really no need, if I get married again in the future, I’ll have to bring someone else to introduce to Grandpa; it’s really troublesome."
Elias’s face darkened, pulling Raina into his embrace, his large hand firmly restraining her waist, "Give up, you’ll never have that chance in this lifetime."
"Really? Who can say for sure about anything in this world?" As she finished speaking, Raina swiftly turned around and slipped out of Elias’s arms, opened the door, and walked out. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire.net
Elias gritted his teeth, then stepped forward to follow her.
On the way to the hospital, Raina sent a WeChat message to Anya Forrest, relaying Elias’s words from earlier.
As for Elias’s scrutinizing gaze, she simply ignored it.
Anya looked at the message from Raina, furrowing her brows.
"Anya, what’s wrong?"
Hearing the man’s voice beside her, Anya turned around, quickly flashing a smile, "Oh, just some work-related nuisances. Sorry, I was a bit distracted."
"Anya, if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me."
Anya snorted and said, "Raymond, why would you think I’d be polite with you? Rest assured, I won’t be."
Raymond Thorne looked at Anya’s lively demeanor, smiling and nodding, his expression joyful.
