Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 118: The Divorce Is Final, So Why Meet Again?

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Divorce Is Final, So Why Meet Again?

She’s so anxious now, this fool just has to pop up at this time and block her way!

If it weren’t for the fact that he’s Jonas Hawthorne’s good friend, she’d really want to just hit the gas and drive off!

Besides, he’s different from Leon Grant...

If Leon Grant discovers her true nature, it doesn’t matter, but if Leo Keane finds out, he’ll definitely tell Jonas Hawthorne!

Therefore, she has to keep up the act!

So, she took a deep breath, forced herself to smile, leaned forward, and asked, "Leo, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I’m here to find Jonas." Leo Keane took off his sunglasses and ended his deliberate pose, "But he’s not here, and I happened to see you, Ms. Ford. How’s your health?"

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted to her wrist.

There was still bandage wrapped around it, and she just ran out like this.

Could one really call this professionalism?

"Jonas seemed to have just left." Candace Ford replied, thinking Leo Keane was late and missed seeing him, "I’m in good health, thanks for your concern."

As she spoke, she added a smile.

Even though she thought she was showing her utmost gentleness and generosity, that smile appeared full of sarcasm to Leo Keane...

In good health...

That was all at the expense of Raine Sinclair’s blood!

And Raine was pregnant at the time; if anything had gone wrong, it would’ve been the end for both her and the baby!

Yet now she’s laughing so carefreely!

If it weren’t for her attempting suicide at home, none of this would’ve happened!

In the moment of Leo Keane’s pondering, Candace Ford continued, "You’re blocking my way, could you please move aside?"

Her words snapped Leo Keane back to the present, and he shifted his eyes and moved in front of the car to take a good look, "Ms. Ford, I must say this car of yours looks quite nice! Is it new? An import? What’s the fuel consumption like?"

Candace Ford could tell Leo Keane was set on stalling her here!

Although she didn’t know why he suddenly started targeting her, Candace Ford didn’t want to waste time here!

She directly put the car in reverse and stepped on the gas, the car quickly backing up!

A screeching sound erupted, the sound of tires rapidly scraping across the ground.

Leo Keane didn’t expect Candace Ford to take such a risky move!

Backing up directly!

Luckily, there were no cars behind, or it would have been truly dangerous!

"Hey! Ms. Ford! Don’t run! Wait for me!" Leo Keane ran to catch up, but Candace Ford quickly turned at the intersection and disappeared in no time.

The speed of four wheels isn’t something two legs can catch up with.

But he didn’t give up, still sprinting for several hundred meters, loudly shouting, "Don’t run! My contract!!"

If he let Candace Ford go and mess around, Jonas Hawthorne would certainly not sign the contract with him!

Boohoo, why is his life so bitter!

——

Jonas Hawthorne and Silas Linton soon arrived at the Sinclair Family.

Raine Sinclair returned home to the Sinclair Family after signing contracts with Leo Keane and Adam Adler at the company in the morning.

Her health hadn’t fully recovered; she could only reduce her workload.

She’s not a workaholic, no need to self-abuse, and with her grandfather around, she wanted to spend more time with him.

Evan Sinclair and his father-in-law didn’t quite get along, frequently finding excuses to go out these days.

Sharon Jennings stayed home the entire time, studying how to make all sorts of delicious food to honor her father.

This afternoon, the three generations sat together in the yard peacefully basking in the sun, sipping tea, and having a heart-to-heart talk when a servant reported, "The Hawthorne family matriarch and... Jonas Hawthorne have arrived."

A slip of the tongue and he almost uttered "son-in-law"!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or it would’ve been trouble!

Raine Sinclair, who was just about to take a bite of her osmanthus cake, frowned slightly, thinking she must have heard wrong.

After the harsh words she said in the morning, Jonas Hawthorne still dared to show up?

How come she never realized how shameless he could be before?

And he even brought his grandmother?

What is he thinking?

William Jennings and his daughter exchanged a glance, and it was Sharon Jennings who spoke first, "Don’t see them!"

The servant hesitated for a moment before William Jennings said, "We can’t ignore the Hawthorne family matriarch’s face, after all."

Silas Linton’s father was also well-known in the past, and William Jennings had some respect for him.

"Dad, that’s all in the past now. You don’t know how the Hawthorne family has bullied our Raine!" Sharon Jennings still felt heartbroken for her daughter, she didn’t want to see anyone from the Hawthorne family!

The very thought of it all was upsetting!

William Jennings looked towards the silent Raine Sinclair, thoughtfully saying, "From what I know, the Hawthorne matriarch has been kind to Raine. Right? Raine."

Seeing the topic direct towards herself, Raine Sinclair nodded awkwardly, "Yes..."

Hearing this, Sharon Jennings’ brows furrowed even tighter, "But Dad... the marriage is over, what’s the point of meeting? If word gets out, it won’t be good either."

"Let’s meet the Hawthorne matriarch then!" William Jennings decided firmly.

"But what about Jonas Hawthorne..." Sharon Jennings hesitantly glanced at Raine Sinclair, seemingly worried for her.

Receiving her mother’s gaze, Raine Sinclair suddenly stood up, "Grandfather, Mom, I’m not feeling well, I’ll go upstairs first."

She turned and left upon finishing.

Saying goodbye would be the same few words again and again.

Since it’s destined never to return to the past, why bother meeting again?

It would only waste more energy and give others baseless fantasies.

Seeing her daughter leave, Sharon Jennings looked a bit sorrowful, then sighed, "Raine still can’t get over this."

"It will take some time." William Jennings wasn’t worried.

Even a physical injury takes a hundred days to heal, let alone emotional pain?

Three whole years of wholehearted devotion, ending in such severe hurt, who could bear it?

It would be hard to get over it in less than three or five years.

With that, he instructed the servant, "Let the Hawthorne family matriarch in, but leave her grandson to wait outside!"

"Yes." The servant only then retreated.

Outside the door, Silas Linton listened to the words of the Jennings family elder, pondered for a moment, then turned back to glare at his grandson, "You wait for me outside!"

Jonas Hawthorne said nothing, just stood there silently.

There was no loss of face or status intended. It was he who proposed the divorce with Raine Sinclair, and it was normal for the Sinclair family not to want to see him.

It’s just...

Not being able to see Raine Sinclair left him with a slight, unshakable disappointment deep within his heart.

Recalling her determined attitude in the morning, his heart trembled once again.

The servant led Silas Linton into the Sinclair Family residence.

By this time, both William Jennings and Sharon Jennings had returned to the living room.

Noticing a change in the weather, it seemed like it was going to rain.

Upstairs.

Raine Sinclair leaned against the window, slightly pulling the curtains to hide herself.

She watched as Silas Linton entered from the yard, while outside the heavy iron gates, Jonas Hawthorne leaned against his car, eyes lowered, lost in thought.

But the distinguished aura he exuded was just the same as before.
