Even Raine Sinclair was stunned, not to ntion Leo Keane.
He turned back in disbelief to look at Jonas Hawthorne...
Given that they had just had a heartfelt talk downstairs in the courtyard, he understood that Jonas Hawthorne asked this question to test Raine Sinclair.
But Raine Sinclair didn’t know that!
She would definitely take it seriously...
And judging by her slightly swaying figure, it was clear she was deeply shaken by the news.
After all, it was soone she had loved deeply. How could she possibly remain completely unaffected upon seeing him again?
At this mont, Raine Sinclair must be feeling extrely miserable!
Leo Keane mused to himself, shaking his head slightly.
Little did he know, just then, Raine Sinclair took a deep breath and turned around, her clear eyes looking straight at Jonas Hawthorne.
Her fair face suddenly lost all its color, like a figure made of ice and snow, chilling to the bones.
Just as she was about to say sothing, Leon Grant suddenly spoke up, his tone gentle, "Raine, since everyone knows you’re pregnant, it can’t be delayed any longer."
Raine Sinclair was slightly astonished. She hadn’t expected Leon Grant to say such things to her at this mont.
As she turned to look at him, she saw him gazing at her tenderly, his handso face gradually lowering...
Raine Sinclair’s eyes widened in surprise, realizing that he was kneeling on one knee in front of her!
"Marry ," he said.
Though just three simple words, in Raine Sinclair’s ears, they were like a thousand-pound boulder!
They pressed heavily on her heart, nearly taking her breath away!
These three words, even Jonas Hawthorne had never said to her...
Back then, when she was chasing after Jonas Hawthorne, she asked for nothing and expected nothing from him, foolishly believing that liking him was enough.
But now, seeing Leon Grant like this... Even knowing he might just be putting on a show to save her face, still...
The feeling of being touched was genuine.
Her eyes instantly reddened.
Not because she had feelings for Leon Grant, but simply because of being moved... and the heartache for her past self who had poured all her passion into Jonas Hawthorne.
The other three present were equally stunned.
Leo Keane was so shocked his jaw dropped and he couldn’t pick it up!
Candace Ford was surprised at first, and then she started to sneer, thinking it best for Raine Sinclair, the troublemaker, to get married quickly!
As for Jonas Hawthorne, Raine Sinclair’s ex-husband...
His words earlier were indeed ant to provoke Raine Sinclair. Who would have thought Leon Grant would propose in public?!
At this mont, his heart was completely on edge!
He found himself uncontrollably looking at Raine Sinclair...
He hoped she would reject Leon Grant without hesitation!
He hoped... her gaze would always be solely on him.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he wished for it in his heart, Raine Sinclair’s attention would never be focused solely on him anymore.
Just like now, she was staring blankly at Leon Grant kneeling on one knee in front of her. If it weren’t for the many onlookers present, she would really want to ask him if it was necessary to go this far?!
A public proposal!
What was she supposed to do?
If she agreed, would they truly have to get married?
But he was helping her; she couldn’t possibly refuse him!
Leon Grant seed to notice her hesitation and concerns, and said, "The flowers and ring aren’t ready yet, but don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you!"
Raine Sinclair understood; he was urging her...
With Candace Ford and Jonas Hawthorne watching, she had no choice but to brace herself and agree, "Okay..."
Upon hearing her consent, Leon Grant imdiately cheered in delight!
"Wonderful!"
He quickly stood up and pulled Raine Sinclair into his arms!
Raine Sinclair froze but didn’t push him away.
Instinctively, she turned her head, eting Jonas Hawthorne’s gaze...
Shocked, bewildered, displeased, bitter, and finally, it turned into an abyss of coldness.
Raine Sinclair paused for a mont, then smiled.
Perhaps this was the reason Leon Grant proposed to her in public?
Indeed, it was a powerful counterattack to Jonas Hawthorne!
Leo Keane was also wide-eyed, watching the embrace between Leon Grant and Raine Sinclair, finally processing it before looking at Jonas Hawthorne.
Ah.
Seeing the gloomy look on his brother’s face, he knew that soone’s heart was aching again!
Only Candace Ford, witnessing this scene, sighed with relief...
Just waiting for these two to get married. After all, once the deed is done, no matter what Jonas Hawthorne thinks, there’s nothing he can do, right?
With a cold sneer, Candace Ford suddenly noticed a little further away, standing behind Raine Sinclair... Lily Sinclair?
She raised an eyebrow, why was Lily Sinclair here?
Back when she returned to the country to win back Jonas Hawthorne, she had thoroughly investigated Raine Sinclair’s entire family history.
She was very clear about the Sinclair Family’s connections.
The Sinclair Family had no sons in this generation. Evan Sinclair and Samuel Sinclair each had only one daughter, Raine Sinclair and Lily Sinclair naturally beca the treasures of the family. The two grew up together and were as close as real sisters.
But...
Candace Ford began to notice that Raine Sinclair’s ’real’ sister seed a bit off-color now?
Lily Sinclair actually had no idea what was happening here today.
She wasn’t feeling well, and when she ca to the hospital for a check-up, she thought about how her cousin was now pregnant and having a hard ti. She wanted to ask the obstetricians if the online tips she found about caring for pregnant won were accurate.
Who knew she ended up on the wrong floor multiple tis.
It was by chance she ended up here, having no clue what departnt this floor was...
And as soon as she arrived, she saw Leon Grant kneeling in front of her cousin, proposing.
In that mont, it felt like the world was crumbling for her.
Ever since she t Leon Grant at the charity gala, she had secretly admired him.
But lacking the opportunity, she didn’t have much interaction with Leon Grant, and even when she later wanted to help her cousin, she harbored a tiny hope to see more of Leon Grant.
But...
She hadn’t even begun, and now Leon Grant was already proposing?
When did they, how were they together?
How did she not know?
Lily Sinclair’s heart ached, her nose tingled, and her vision started to blur.
She wiped her tears silently, trying hard not to make a sound.
On the opposite side, Candace Ford saw this scene and raised her eyebrows even higher!
Seeing how heartbreakingly Lily Sinclair cried, could it be... she fancied Leon Grant?
Hmph, if that’s the case, it could be quite useful!
