Back then, Warren Hawthorne pressed for the identity of the child’s father, but Jeanette Jennings only shed tears and refused to say. She apologized to him, saying she was sorry.
Warren Hawthorne was heartbroken. Even though he didn’t mind the situation with the child, Jeanette Jennings insisted on breaking off the engagement with him.
Eventually, the matter reached the elders, and the Hawthorne and Jennings families called off the engagement, causing a huge uproar in Aethelgard.
Jeanette Jennings, unwed and pregnant, faced judgment from everyone and suddenly disappeared, never to be seen again.
Warren Hawthorne, pressured by family obligations, accepted another arranged marriage and wed Mrs. Hawthorne.
Yet deep in his heart, he harbored a charming vision, increasingly etched in his soul, both day and night.
He hoped Silas Hawthorne would fulfill this regret and marry Jeanette Jennings’ daughter.
But Silas Hawthorne was unwilling, and his attitude was strongly resistant, refusing to accept his father’s arrangement.
Warren Hawthorne’s gaze darkened.
It seems he needs to find time to arrange a meeting between Faye Sterling and Silas Hawthorne.
Eleanor Sterling visited the Jennings Family again, and Gabriel Jennings thought there was something irregular with Mrs. Jennings’ illness, becoming anxious immediately.
Seeing this, Eleanor Sterling quickly found an excuse to reassure him, saying she had missed discussing some matters with Mrs. Jennings, and eventually, he felt at ease.
Mrs. Jennings’ mental state had significantly improved; she was currently sitting on the bed watching TV.
Seeing Eleanor Sterling enter, Mrs. Jennings smiled warmly and affectionately said, "Eleanor, you’ve come to see Grandma again?"
Eleanor Sterling sat by the bed, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "Grandma, I’ve actually come to ask you a question."
"What does Eleanor want to ask?"
Eleanor Sterling hesitated for a while before asking, "Did my mother have an engagement with the Hawthorne family?"
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Jennings’ expression suddenly became stiff, and her smile slowly faded.
A deep sigh echoed in the air, and Mrs. Jennings’ eyes showed a momentary loss as if she were caught in some kind of memory.
"Our Jennings Family indeed had an engagement with the Hawthorne Family, but your mother was unwed and pregnant, and she refused to give the child to..."
Seemingly seeing Eleanor Sterling standing there healthily, it was inappropriate to continue, so Mrs. Jennings didn’t proceed with the rest of the sentence.
Her expression was melancholy, and she continued, "The Hawthorne man was a good person. Your mother betrayed him, yet he didn’t blame her.
Our two families once privately agreed that if he had a son, and Jeanette’s child was of the same gender, they would swear brotherhood.
If they were of different genders, his child and Jeanette’s child would renew their past connection.
Unexpectedly, these twenty years have passed. I see the Hawthorne child is outstanding, and fortunately, you have returned; Grandma will send someone to the Hawthorne Family tomorrow."
Eleanor Sterling’s eye twitched in shock.
Unexpectedly hearing such a melodramatic story, she immediately reached out to grab Mrs. Jennings.
Is she Silas Hawthorne’s fiancée? The source of thɪs content is novel★fire.net
Unexpectedly, the relationship between her and Silas Hawthorne turns out to have this hidden connection. Eleanor Sterling’s mind was overloaded.
"What’s the matter? Eleanor, a girl needs an outstanding boyfriend to love her to be happy."
Mrs. Jennings thought of her daughter’s unwed pregnancy, being cast out, and eventually falling in Veridia City, feeling distressed.
Now knowing Eleanor Sterling is her granddaughter, she can’t let her tread Jeanette Jennings’ old path and be deceived by a man!
Eleanor Sterling was helpless and could only muster the courage to say, "I... I have a boyfriend!"
"What! You have a boyfriend?"
