Refusing to Remarry: Mr. Hawthorne, You Are Out-Chapter 200: Let Me Do Something for You
Leon Grant seemed to anticipate that she would be angry and explained calmly, "Raine, time is running out. If we don’t release the news now, it will be too late."
"But..."
"Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything. You just need to show up on the wedding day and cooperate with me in this act." Leon Grant’s voice was gentle. Even if he acted on his own, he was considering Raine Sinclair’s feelings. "Don’t you want to take revenge on Jonas Hawthorne?"
One sentence struck deeply into Raine Sinclair’s heart.
She sighed and then said, "Not anymore."
Back when she had just divorced, she did indeed think about taking revenge on Jonas Hawthorne and deliberately got close to Leon Grant.
But now that time has passed, she suddenly felt that those things no longer mattered.
Besides, back then it was just about getting close to Leon Grant, putting on a show, but now it involved marriage...
"Leon, this wedding is too unfair to you. I think there’s no need to sacrifice so much, you..."
Before she could finish, Leon Grant quickly said, "I don’t see anything I do for you as a sacrifice. Raine, you know how I feel. That night... I think you must have felt the same way, otherwise, it wouldn’t have happened... Let me do something for you!"
That night he took her countless times.
Under the influence of the drugs, he couldn’t control himself at all...
He didn’t know if he had hurt her.
Now, at least let him do something to make up for it?
Raine Sinclair felt a bit puzzled as she listened.
What night?
What was he talking about?
"Leon, I think you misunderstood, I..."
Before she could finish, there was a knock on the door, followed by her father’s voice, "Raine?"
"Dad, I’m here!" Raine Sinclair replied and then said to Leon Grant, "I’ll talk to you later, my dad’s looking for me!"
"Alright, go ahead." Leon Grant’s voice remained gentle.
Putting down her phone, Raine Sinclair went to open the door.
Evan Sinclair saw that she had already taken a bath and changed into refreshing pajamas, her little face was rosy, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seeing you looking progressively better, dad can finally relax!"
"Dad, I was fine anyway. Recently, mom keeps making me delicious food in various ways, I’ve even gained weight!" Raine Sinclair said, pinching her chin, feeling like it had become rounder!
Evan Sinclair thought it was just right, "That’s good, you were too skinny before! And now that you’re pregnant, you can’t be too thin!"
"I know." Raine Sinclair nodded, then asked, "Why are you looking for me, Dad?"
"Well..." Evan Sinclair opened his mouth, hesitated a bit, and then said, "I saw the news, are you really going to marry Leon Grant?"
Raine Sinclair was silent for a moment, not wanting to lie to her father, and explained the whole story.
She thought her father would scold her for being too frivolous, but he just frowned, "You’re grown up now, think about your own affairs before making decisions."
Raine Sinclair’s nose tingled, and she leaned over to hug her father’s arm, her eyes reddening like a little girl.
No matter what kind of people she encountered outside or what she did, her father never blamed her...
It was like that in her childhood, and it remains so now that she’s grown up.
Evan Sinclair patted his daughter’s head, smiling helplessly, "You’re about to be a mother, why are you still acting spoiled?"
Raine Sinclair wanted to say she would always be her father’s little girl, but before she could speak, she heard her father continue, "But you have to consider the Sinclair Group. No matter what you do, you cannot tarnish Sinclair’s reputation, understand? That’s the legacy your great-grandfather left behind!"
"Dad, I understand!" Raine Sinclair nodded seriously.
She certainly wouldn’t forget about that.
After Evan Sinclair finished talking about serious matters, seeing that his daughter’s mood was still relatively good, he tentatively brought up, "Your second uncle called me, said the whole family bought tickets for tomorrow and plan to immigrate to Imperia."
"..." Raine Sinclair’s eyes widened slightly, and her face turned a bit stiff.
The father and daughter both fell silent for three seconds.
Finally, Evan Sinclair spoke first, "I know you’re sad about Lily, but she is your sister after all. Allowing them to immigrate like this might affect Sinclair Group too."
Raine Sinclair looked down, her tone indifferent, "I didn’t tell them to immigrate."
She had just heard about this from her father, it had nothing to do with her.
"I know this isn’t what you want. Your second uncle... just wants you to be at ease, that’s why he’s taking the whole family away, as an apology to you." Evan Sinclair said, his brows also furrowing.
"From a young age, your second uncle has always been very fond of you. Whenever he bought something fun for Lily, he would definitely prepare one for you as well. One summer holiday, you had a high fever at your second uncle’s place, and the family car had broken down. He carried you on his back for four kilometers to the hospital, do you remember that?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
As these memories flashed through Raine Sinclair’s mind now, they seemed as if they had just happened yesterday.
She still remembered that the doctor said if they had been a few minutes later, she might have ended up with brain damage.
Thinking back, Raine Sinclair finally said, "Dad, I remember what you said."
"I knew you were a good kid. Lily is still young, easily influenced by others, can’t tell right from wrong, but fortunately, she’s turned back before it was too late, and hasn’t caused much trouble.
Dad’s meaning is, you don’t have to get too close to her from now on but maintain a decent relationship. Otherwise, if word gets out, it won’t be good for Sinclair’s reputation."
Evan Sinclair spoke earnestly.
When he first found out his daughter and grandchild were almost harmed, he was so angry he could explode, really wanting to ask his brother’s family what they were plotting every day!
But after calming down these few days and thinking through the whole situation, and his younger brother actively offering to emigrate, never to return to Sedonia, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.
Carefully considering, if his brother’s family left and word got around to those with ill intent, they might use it to tarnish Sinclair, accusing their family of being ruthless.
For the sake of his daughter’s reputation, Evan Sinclair eventually chose to let it go and even tried to persuade his daughter to do the same.
After listening to her father, Raine Sinclair fell into deep thought.
The event had passed, and her heart no longer felt tangled and unresolved.
What remains now is helplessness, regret, and sighs...
Evan Sinclair saw that although his daughter hadn’t expressed her stance, at least her emotions were no longer so intense.
He looked back and saw the phone tossed on the bed, picking it up and handing it to his daughter.
"Raine, your second uncle’s family is leaving tomorrow. If you want to stop them, there’s still time."
Raine Sinclair lowered her eyes to glance at the phone before her, understanding that her father wanted her to take the initiative to call Lily Sinclair.
