"What?!" Silas Linton sat up with a start, incredulous, "Leon Grant just got back to the country, didn’t he?"
"She admitted it personally." Jonas Hawthorne remained with his head lowered, his once spirited deanor now gone, even his slouched posture mirrored this.
Silas quickly cald down, going over the connections in his mind, especially since Leon had only just returned to the country and surely just t Raine Sinclair!
In such a short ti, it’s difficult to even date, let alone get pregnant?!
After a while, Silas leaned back against the bed, then asked, "Is Raine really pregnant?"
Jonas nodded ever so slightly.
They found out during the ergency rescue at the hospital, it’s definitely not a mistake.
Silas remained silent.
About three minutes later, she suddenly began reaching to lift the covers, making as if to get out of bed, her face full of joy.
"Quick, take to see her!"
"Grandma?" Jonas, seeing her trying to get out of bed, hurriedly moved forward to support her, "You need to rest!"
"Rest for what?! The child in Raine’s belly must be yours! Our Hawthorne Family’s eldest grandson, I want to see them now!" Silas was overjoyed, and the prior pain vanished completely.
She wasn’t even short of breath, and her body didn’t ache anymore!
Truly a person’s spirit revives with good tidings!
Jonas paused slightly at her words, reminding her, "Grandma, the child is Leon’s, you..."
"Nonsense! That child must be yours!" Silas interrupted Jonas with unwavering certainty, "I know what kind of person Raine is very well! Back then, she married you against all odds, and regardless of how you treated her over the years, she still loved you just the sa!
Grandma is also a woman, I know that once a woman falls in love, she doesn’t change her mind easily! How could she be carrying soone else’s child right after divorcing you? Do you believe that? Anyway, Grandma doesn’t! This child has to be from our Hawthorne Family!"
This is the wisdom of soone who’s been through it, and Silas just had an extrely strong sixth sense that the child belonged to their family!!
Raine had been by her side for several years, even Jonas’s grandfather liked this girl; they couldn’t have been wrong about her!
Jonas didn’t understand why grandma was so certain, he should have stopped her, but...
Suddenly, he thought, if grandma stepped in, maybe Raine wouldn’t be so resistant, and he could see her again...
It moved his heart for a mont.
What if the child in Raine’s belly really was his, as grandmother claid?
Holding onto this last bit of hope, Jonas no longer obstructed her.
However, out of concern for grandma’s health, he felt compelled to go with her.
Outside the main gate.
Leo Keane, who was almost vomiting his guts out, finally recovered, only to see Jonas Hawthorne, who had just entered a while ago, rush out again, with the lively and energetic Hawthorne family matriarch in tow!
He was stunned for a mont!
Didn’t he just hear on Jonas’s car that the matriarch was gravely ill and bedridden?
How did she get better in the blink of an eye?
What kind of illness cos and goes so quickly?
"Jonas, you guys are..." Leo couldn’t help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Jonas turned to look at him, "Grandma wants to see Raine Sinclair, coming?"
"Huh?" Leo was startled again, "Didn’t we just co back from there? Going again?"
He had just gotten a contract from Raine and signed so confidentiality agreent, what if she gets mad seeing him with Jonas again?
Thinking of this, Leo quickly waved his hands, "No, no, you guys go ahead, I...I still have so things to do..."
He didn’t want his life to be in turmoil every day!
He was working so hard to get contracts and earn money, wasn’t it just to live more comfortably?
There’s no reason to make things difficult for himself!
He quickly made his escape...
He’s done ddling in this couple’s affairs!
Jonas didn’t stop him, after helping his grandmother into the car, he galloped away!
However, as soon as Leo turned around, he saw the very pregnant Candace Ford getting out of a car.
She was just looking in the direction where Jonas Hawthorne had left, I guess she had just arrived in ti to see Jonas and Silas leave together.
They were a bit far, so Leo couldn’t clearly see Candace’s expression, but he did sense a cloud of gloom surrounding her!
Since witnessing her cold smile previously, Leo had no good feelings towards this woman, feeling even more wary!
He imdiately called Jonas Hawthorne to report, "Jonas, Candace just arrived at your doorstep, and it looks like she wants to follow you, be careful."
The last four words, Leo Keane originally shouldn’t have said, given they were once husband and wife...
But sohow, he couldn’t help himself and blurted it out.
Receiving the report, Jonas Hawthorne’s brows furrowed, he said coldly, "Stop her."
Leo was originally just delivering a little report, he didn’t expect Jonas would give him such a big task!
"Huh? How can I stop her? I don’t have that ability!"
That was Jonas Hawthorne’s woman, how could he afford to offend her?!
One Raine Sinclair was already too much to handle, now cos Candace...it’s life-threatening!
Jonas’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Bring the contract to see tomorrow."
If Candace followed, today’s scenario might turn into another farce.
"?" Leo Keane was montarily stunned, how did the contract co up?
Then he realized that Jonas’s intention was if he handled the matter before him, he would sign the contract, right!!
So, without thinking any further, he almost imdiately opened his mouth to agree, "Alright, Mr. Hawthorne, don’t worry! I’ll handle it right away! Guarantee your satisfaction!!"
Hearing this, Jonas Hawthorne put down the phone with satisfaction.
Silas, sitting beside him, had heard the whole exchange.
She laughed coldly, "Debts from flirtations always have to be repaid."
One Candace Ford, and it’s enough for her grandson to bear!
As a grandmother, she originally didn’t want to see her grandson in hot water, but who asked him to make mistakes?
If he made mistakes, he must bear all the consequences that co with it.
Jonas said nothing, he understood what grandma ant.
The car suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
——
On the other side, Candace, who had seen Jonas and Silas leave, was almost exploding with anger!
She had finally co up with an idea to make Silas sick, intending to take this opportunity to bring up marriage in front of Jonas to smoothly marry in and bring so joy.
Who knew she just got here, and they were about to leave?
And to hear from the servant she planted by Silas, they were actually going to find Raine Sinclair?
She had to go see what they were up to!
Gritting her teeth, she turned to get into the car, when suddenly a man leaned in front of her.
"Ms. Ford, where are you headed?"
Looking up, she saw Leo Keane, wearing sunglasses, with one hand resting on the hood of her car, looking absolutely unpalatable.
