After returning to the dormitory, Eleanor Sterling was already covered in tears, looking utterly disoriented, as if her situation couldn’t be worse.
Seeing this, Stella Hawthorne immediately stepped forward with concern, "Eleanor, what’s wrong? Did something happen?"
Eleanor Sterling raised a wry smile and stepped forward to embrace Stella Hawthorne, "Stella, I’ve had a breakup."
"What!" Stella Hawthorne’s face was full of shock.
Hadn’t Eleanor gone out for dinner with President Faulkner? How could she end up breaking up over a meal?
"Did you and President Faulkner have a fight? It’s normal for couples to argue, I think you shouldn’t worry too much about it. Maybe things will be better tomorrow."
Stella Hawthorne comforted Eleanor Sterling with heartfelt understanding.
Eleanor Sterling smiled bitterly, knowing things were far from that simple.
The silence she had to swallow alone.
"Thank you, Stella. I’m already feeling better."
Seeing that Eleanor Sterling’s expression was only slightly unpleasant, but seemingly fine, Stella Hawthorne felt a little relieved.
However, she was still somewhat puzzled. How could she have a breakup? Afraid of touching Eleanor Sterling’s wounds, she dared not ask too much.
The Hawthorne Family, in the study.
After hearing that Silas Hawthorne went out to meet with Mrs. Jennings in the evening, Warren Hawthorne thought he was reluctant to marry the granddaughter of the Jennings Family and went to communicate clearly with Mrs. Jennings.
Furious, he turned dark, and as soon as Silas Hawthorne returned, he immediately summoned him to the study.
Silas Hawthorne came in and sat in front of Warren Hawthorne.
"Dad, you wanted to see me?"
Warren Hawthorne asked, repressing his anger, "I ask you! Did you meet with Mrs. Jennings?"
"Yes, we had dinner together tonight."
Silas Hawthorne did not deny it, and suddenly Eleanor Sterling’s image flashed through his mind, along with her absolutely stunning face.
But she said she wanted to annul the engagement? Not sure why that feeling of depression emerged inside.
"Silas, Jeanette’s daughter is an exceptional girl. Spending your life with her would be a great choice. You should consider it; she..."
Warren Hawthorne wanted to continue persuading Silas Hawthorne, but unexpectedly he asked, "Dad, how did you feel when you found out that Jeanette was pregnant with another man’s child?"
Warren Hawthorne was startled, unable to come to his senses for a while.
He was a bit surprised why Silas Hawthorne would ask this, but his words plunged him into memories.
What did he feel? Naturally, it was shock and anger, a feeling of betrayal, but seeing Jeanette Jennings’ crying face made it all disappear. Content originally comes from novel_fіre.net
Warren Hawthorne sighed.
"Some women just have that ability, no matter what mistake they make, they make you forgive them unconditionally, just to keep them by your side."
All the emotions converged into this sentence. Warren Hawthorne had long regretted not persisting back then.
If he hadn’t listened to the family’s objections and insisted on marrying Jeanette Jennings, then he wouldn’t have...
But things have already passed, all those memories buried in time.
Silas Hawthorne appeared to comprehend and suddenly seemed to deeply understand the emotions contained in Warren Hawthorne’s words.
Indeed, some people merely stand quietly; they do nothing but look at you with those clear, spring-like eyes, making you forgive unconditionally.
"Silas, because I have such regrets, I hope you can marry Jeanette’s daughter. I hope you reconsider, or at least meet her; you might change your mind."
"No need." Silas Hawthorne curled his lips into a smile, "I have already met her."
Warren Hawthorne was surprised, "You’ve met her? Then you..."
Silas Hawthorne’s eyes flickered with a dark hue, and he slowly said, "I have no objections to the marriage between the Hawthorne and Jennings families."
Warren Hawthorne was delighted upon hearing this. He didn’t expect Silas Hawthorne to truly change his mind.
It seemed that while having dinner with Mrs. Jennings, Silas Hawthorne had met Jeanette Jennings’ daughter.
He knew Silas Hawthorne would inevitably be captivated!
