When Eleanor entered the room, Jeanette Grant was on the phone with one hand on her hip—
"Anyway, Blake Lockwood’s phone is under my care now. If you have any issues, go find my brother or sister-in-law, I can’t make the call!"
"Mrs. Lockwood, what are you talking about with your Lockwood family nonsense? You know, I’m just a bum who knows nothing, I don’t understand!"
"I’m interested in Blake Lockwood’s money? I can’t be her daughter, and I can’t be her wife, what good is her money to ? Do you think the court would award it to ? It’s more useful for you to go after her money!"
Teen fans really can be fierce!
Seeing Eleanor co in, Jeanette Grant brightened up and imdiately hung up the phone.
"Eleanor, you’re back!" Jeanette Grant imdiately switched to a smiling face, boasting, "I’ve taken very good care of Miss Lockwood!"
Blake Lockwood leaned against the hospital bed, her face pale, but she smiled and nodded, "Thanks to Miss Grant these past few days."
"Thank you, Jeanette!" Eleanor expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
Jeanette Grant winked at Adrian Grant, as if her face was saying: ’Am I not great?’
Adrian Grant: "..." He opened his phone and transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Jeanette Grant as pocket money.
Jeanette Grant was overjoyed, her task completed and reward earned, she bid goodbye to everyone and left the hospital happily.
The Lockwood family was originally under Mr. Lockwood’s control but after Blake Lockwood’s parents passed away, the family relatives wanted to divide Blake Lockwood’s shares and assets, fearing Trevor Hawthorne backing Blake. Now that Blake and Trevor Hawthorne are finally divorcing, they imdiately allied to deal with Blake.
In his lifeti, Mr. Lockwood built a private park for Blake and Mrs. Lockwood, with many family mories. The park had a pri location, and the Lockwood family unanimously decided to demolish it and build more profitable housing. Blake Lockwood had stumbled upon the park’s destruction, fainted from agitation, and was brought to the hospital.
The result of the checkup revealed she was three and a half months pregnant.
Almost at the sa ti as Vivian Quinn.
Eleanor placed her hand on Blake Lockwood’s still flat abdon and asked, "Is the baby okay?"
"Yes, just needs a few days of care,"
Eleanor looked at her worriedly, hesitating to speak, "Then... what do you plan to do? Still getting a divorce? Keeping the baby? Now with this child, the Hawthorne family might not agree to the divorce."
Upon hearing the words ’divorce’, Adrian Grant looked at Eleanor and Blake Lockwood.
Blake Lockwood was dismissive, "What’s it got to do with the n if it’s my child? I already have the divorce agreent, don’t need their consent!"
The baby would naturally be kept, but as for the man, forget it.
Eleanor wasn’t surprised by this answer, nodding understandingly.
Suddenly, she noticed sothing odd, "The Lockwood family attacking you suddenly must know about Trevor Hawthorne agreeing to the divorce. How did they know so quickly? How did they get the news?"
Blake Lockwood looked at Eleanor for two seconds and said, "Mia Winslow told them."
"Mia Winslow?"
How did she get involved with the Hawthorne family?
Blake Lockwood said, "She’s getting engaged to Zane Hawthorne."
Zane Hawthorne is Trevor Hawthorne’s father’s illegitimate son, Trevor’s rival for power in the Hawthorne family.
-
Blake Lockwood still needed to stay in the hospital for her pregnancy care, so Eleanor went ho to freshen up and planned to return to the hospital to accompany Blake in the evening.
Upon leaving the hospital room, she found that Trevor Hawthorne had already left, which made Eleanor’s expression turn even colder.
Damn man!
Adrian Grant’s gaze shifted downward, lingering on Eleanor’s abdon, wondering: If Eleanor had his child early on, would she not be so firm about the divorce now?
"It’s not good for a child to be born without a father," Adrian Grant suddenly said.
If Eleanor’s attitude would change due to this child and choose not to divorce, then... maybe he could give it a try?
The sun shone brightly, with people coming and going beneath the hospital building.
Eleanor tilted her head to look at the man beside her, "Adrian Grant, do you think it’s natural for won to prioritize motherhood? A mother is a social role, but it shouldn’t be one of sacrifice and grievance. If Blake stays with Trevor Hawthorne for the unborn child, it wouldn’t be fair to Blake."
In societal relationships, won have the right to be themselves first, not trapped in the role of mother.
"If Trevor Hawthorne were a good father, he wouldn’t love the baby any less because of a divorce. And if he’s not a good father, staying married for the baby would be absurd, wouldn’t it?"
Adrian Grant didn’t hear the answer he wanted, his expression turned indifferent.
"Thanks for your help this ti," Eleanor shifted the topic, "I plan to hire bodyguards and a nanny myself to care for Blake, so you don’t need to be involved."
Adrian Grant chuckled lightly, "I thought you were going to propose divorce to ."
"Only if you agree." Eleanor looked up seriously at him.
Adrian Grant’s gaze was dim and unreadable, masking his emotions.
"Eleanor, think twice, the bodyguards you hire can’t stop Trevor Hawthorne."
Eleanor remained silent.
Indeed, what could stop Trevor Hawthorne had never been bodyguards, but the man supporting the bodyguards, Adrian Grant.
...
After being away for five days, with work piling up, Adrian Grant had no choice but to return to the company to handle tasks.
Not long after, Charles Rhodes knocked on the door.
"President Grant, Young Master Hawthorne is here."
As soon as Trevor Hawthorne entered, he threw a punch at Adrian Grant without a word.
Adrian Grant swiftly dodged by sidestepping and retaliated with a punch.
"Bang!"
Trevor Hawthorne seed like he was asking for a beating, not even trying to dodge, taking a punch to the face and quickly bruising his mouth.
"Are you sick?" Adrian Grant’s mood was foul.
Too many things to handle already, and now trouble cos knocking!
Charles Rhodes saw the situation and promptly exited the office, considerately closing the door.
Trevor Hawthorne took a punch but wasn’t angry about being hit, "You’re the one who’s sick, why are you ddling in my wife and ’s affairs?"
"What wife? Haven’t you signed the divorce papers?"
Adrian Grant’s face might as well have said, ’useless.’
He thought, Blake Lockwood successfully getting the divorce agreent stimulated Eleanor into being more resolute about getting divorced!
These won like doing everything together, don’t they!
Regarding the divorce agreent, Trevor Hawthorne’s anger subsided.
He sat on the sofa in defeat, lowering his gaze to hide the regret in his eyes, "I... I didn’t know she was pregnant."
Adrian Grant’s expression was one of ’not my problem,’ feeling the strong urge to send him off.
But seeing as they were in the sa boat, he cursed, "Just because she’s pregnant?"
"Of course not!" Trevor Hawthorne gritted his teeth, "She filed for divorce directly, causing too much commotion! If Eleanor did such a thing, I don’t believe you’d be indifferent."
Everyone cares about face!
"She won’t." Adrian Grant said with full confidence.
He understood Eleanor and knew the importance of Jonah Grant and Old Madam Grant in Eleanor’s heart, just with these two, Eleanor wouldn’t make too much of a fuss.
At this mont, Adrian Grant felt a sense of gratitude toward Jonah Grant.
