Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 211: Want a Kiss?
Brooke spoke with heartfelt sincerity.
Although Sonny didn’t know why Jordan Hawthorne was so angry, seeing his mom’s expression, he took the opportunity to act cute, saying, "Dad Hawthorne, I didn’t bully Zara, don’t believe..."
As he said this, he tried hard to look particularly aggrieved, his eyes brimming with tears.
Jordan Hawthorne looked at them, unable to distinguish for a moment who was lying.
Thinking about Sabrina Hayes bringing his daughter and entangling with another man, he was more inclined to believe Brooke’s version.
Yes, that’s right, Zara is still so young, what does a child know? How could she possibly say such things?
If it wasn’t for Sabrina Hayes’s instigation, why would she think of leaving her dad?
Thinking about this, Jordan Hawthorne was quite furious.
He shouldn’t have let Sabrina Hayes take away Zara’s custody in the first place!
See what kind of person she’s raised the child to be now!
The more Jordan thought about it, the more irritable he became, then he said to Brooke and Sonny, "That’s enough, let’s call it a day, you take Sonny back first, I still have work to do."
After speaking, he got directly into the car and instructed Chase to go straight to the company.
"Go check on the award Zara received, also, what’s the background of that man, why haven’t we found any concrete information yet?!"
Mentioning Jasper Fitzgerald, Jordan Hawthorne’s tone became even more impatient.
Chase didn’t dare say much, he could only comply.
Brooke stood there, witnessing Jordan Hawthorne get in the car and leave without looking back, feeling extremely resentful.
Why does that bitch Sabrina Hayes always have to ruin her plans?!
It was hard enough for Sonny to be of some use, and now this hard-won warmth was destroyed by Sabrina Hayes again!
That mother and daughter pair must be here to jinx me!!!
Brooke gritted her teeth in hatred.
That night, Chase sent the inquiry about Zara’s award-winning piece to Jordan Hawthorne’s phone.
Seeing that mature artwork, Jordan Hawthorne was initially a bit disbelieving.
Did Zara really paint this?
The author’s name on it couldn’t be faked.
His daughter really won first prize in the competition...
Jordan Hawthorne’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The style he once looked down on was actually a priceless treasure in the eyes of professionals.
At the same time, his chest swelled with a sense of pride and honor.
No matter how Sabrina Hayes tried to instigate, this is still his daughter, the excellent bloodline of the Hawthorne Family.
Jordan Hawthorne didn’t want his daughter to be disappointed in him, he wanted to make amends!
So he instructed Chase, "Find a way to buy her a few paintings, I need to give them to Zara next week."
"President..."
Chase hesitated, wanting to say that they might not accept it.
But... Jordan Hawthorne’s unyielding attitude left him no choice but to comply, "Alright, I’m on it."
Sabrina wasn’t aware of Jordan Hawthorne’s arrangements.
She slept deeply this time.
Zara woke up early, looking everywhere for her dad.
Sabrina also woke up along with her, seeing the child constantly looking for Jasper Fitzgerald, a headache ensued.
She thought that after a good sleep, Zara’s situation might improve, but it didn’t.
"Where did daddy go? Did he not want Zara anymore?"
The little voice was filled with grievance, and Sabrina didn’t know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, Nanny Warren, according to Jasper Fitzgerald’s explanation, came to coax the little cub, "He didn’t abandon you, he just went to work. He asked Zara to stay at home and wait for him. He’ll bring you a gift when he comes back."
"Really?"
Zara was a bit skeptical.
"Really! I wouldn’t lie to you!"
With Nanny Warren’s assurance, the little cub finally settled down, eagerly looking forward to her dad coming back with a gift.
Sabrina sighed with relief, seeing the little cub playing with her toys on the carpet, she let Nanny Warren prepare breakfast while she stayed by the child.
At this moment, a message suddenly came through on the phone, it was from Jasper Fitzgerald.
He inquired about Zara’s current state from Sabrina.
Sabrina told him truthfully.
"She was fussing, trying to find you, but Nanny Warren managed to coax her..."
Sabrina felt a bit helpless, then reminded Jasper Fitzgerald, "Don’t worry, I’ll buy a random gift later to placate her, pretending it’s from you..."
Such situations like yesterday, Sabrina really didn’t want them to happen again.
She was genuinely afraid of delaying Jasper Fitzgerald’s important work.
Jasper Fitzgerald understood her thoughts and had no objections.
After the two chatted for a bit, Nanny Warren had already prepared breakfast, and Sabrina put down her phone to take the little cub to eat.
After they finished eating, worried that she might still be thinking about her dad, Sabrina tried to find some things for Zara to do.
In the morning, she took her to Ms. Willow’s place to learn music, and in the afternoon, brought her back to the old master’s villa to chat with him.
The old master was so fond of this little apprentice-granddaughter that he prepared all kinds of treats and fun stuff.
Although Zara was distracted, she didn’t forget to save the good stuff for her dad.
The candy the old master just gave her was put in her backpack.
The old master thought she was hesitant to eat it and coaxed her, "Little Zara, eat as much as you want, there’s plenty more, and your grandteacher has prepared a lot for you!"
The little cub shook her head, sweetly telling her grandteacher, "Not eating, Zara is saving it for dad!"
Hearing this, the old master couldn’t help but frown.
After Zara went to play on the side, he looked at his apprentice in confusion.
"Is the child relying so much on that Jordan Hawthorne guy? Didn’t you say before that her dad didn’t care about her at all?"
He couldn’t help but worry that at this rate, his beloved apprentice would get entangled with the other party again.
Sabrina had no choice but to explain the situation to her mentor, "The dad she’s talking about isn’t Jordan Hawthorne. Yesterday, I took Zara to see a painting exhibition, we ran into them again, and Zara got upset, her condition relapsed, and she mistakenly identified her psychologist as her dad..."
After hearing this, the old man was both angry and distressed, tapping his cane on the ground with a thumping sound, "That Jordan Hawthorne, he’s really something! Try to let Zara have as little contact with him as possible in the future!"
"Mm."
Sabrina nodded, "I’ll try to avoid it as much as I can."
If possible, she never wanted them to meet in her lifetime.
That evening, when the mother and daughter were leaving, Zara carried a bag of goodies, saying she wanted to bring them back for her dad.
Sabrina was caught between tears and laughter, but she had to let her be.
When they got home that night, Tessa was also there.
The little one usually had a good relationship with her, so she generously shared some of her snacks with her godmother.
Tessa watched, her heart softening, as she hugged and doted on the little one for a good while.
Zara giggled in her embrace, but didn’t forget to ask her mommy, "When is dad coming back? Zara wants to give him some snacks!"
Sabrina started to get a headache again.
But she couldn’t speak harshly to the child, so she could only continue to soothe her, saying, "Dad is on a business trip, he might not be back until the weekend, Zara needs to be good, okay?"
Zara’s expression was one of disappointment, pitifully asking, "Then... can we video call him?"
Sabrina hesitated briefly.
Tessa had already heard about yesterday’s events from Nanny Warren.
Seeing the little one missing her dad, with such an aggrieved expression, made Tessa’s heart ache.
This time, she sided with the little one.
Tessa egged Sabrina on, saying, "Go ahead and call. Mr. Fitzgerald is so good to Zara, he’d definitely be willing to do this little favor."
In fact, Sabrina didn’t really want to do this. Once or twice was doable.
But if Zara’s condition didn’t improve for a long time, would they have to keep calling Jasper Fitzgerald dad?
They weren’t even related, letting the child call him that would tarnish his reputation for no reason, wouldn’t it?
And if Mr. Fitzgerald had a partner in the future, it would be hard to explain to her...
Moreover, Sabrina didn’t want to give Zara unwarranted hope.
In the future, if Mr. Fitzgerald returned to Aethel, who would respond to her then?
After some thought, she politely declined, "Dad’s busy, we’ll contact him when he’s free, okay?"
Seeing her mommy say this, Zara reluctantly agreed, "Okay then, maybe later."
Seeing her so agreeable, Sabrina felt a bit relieved, then waited for the little one to get sleepy.
Once she fell asleep, the night would be over.
But she kept waiting, and the little one kept waiting, too. It was almost ten, and her eyes were still wide open.
Every few minutes, she’d ask Sabrina, "Is dad done with work now?"
"Not yet, dad will come to find Zara when he’s done."
The little one could only keep waiting.
By eleven, Zara, who had never stayed up so late, was already yawning several times. Clearly sleepy, she still stubbornly kept her eyes open, wanting to wait for her dad.
Sabrina sat by her side, her head throbbing painfully.
Tessa found it amusing and tried to persuade, "Why insist on holding out with a child? If you’d let her video call Mr. Fitzgerald for a few minutes earlier, we’d all be in dreamland by now, not having to endure this."
Sabrina hadn’t expected the little one to hold out so long.
Really left with no choice, she texted Jasper Fitzgerald, asking if it was convenient for him.
Jasper didn’t reply to the message, but the video call came through quickly.
Sabrina hurriedly called out to Zara, "Do you want to answer the video call?"
Zara perked up, eagerly grabbing the phone.
Jasper’s face appeared on the screen, and the little one beamed with joy, calling out sweetly, "Dad, when are you coming back?"
"Not done with work yet."
Jasper replied gently, asking her, "Why is Zara still awake?"
The little girl pouted, sadly saying, "I wanted to wait for dad to come back, wanted to video call dad, but mommy said dad was busy with work, not to disturb, so Zara waited for dad to finish..."
This plaintive complaint made Jasper raise an eyebrow, glancing at Sabrina beside him.
Sabrina didn’t speak, but her expression was helpless.
Jasper understood immediately.
He chuckled lightly, saying, "I see... I am indeed busy, but next time, Zara, if you want to chat, you can call me directly, it’s okay. I’m really not able to come back these days, but I’ve got time to say a few words."
"Okay!"
Hearing this from dad, Zara’s smile widened with happiness.
She then asked with concern, "Is work tiring, dad? Don’t overwork yourself, otherwise Zara will feel bad, and mommy will feel bad too..."
Jasper looked deeply at Sabrina again, asking, "Really?"
Sabrina’s beautiful eyes widened, internally saying: You little rascal, how can you make things up like that???
I didn’t, don’t say such things!!!
However, Zara in her arms was oblivious to her mommy’s on-the-verge-of-collapse expression, and continued, "Yes, of course!"
Jasper didn’t deliberately tease Sabrina either.
With a smile, he said, "Alright, I understand. I’ll take care to rest, but Zara needs to take care too.
You’re a little one, you need to go to bed early. Staying up this late isn’t good, you won’t grow tall."
"Okay, Zara understands!"
The little one obediently agreed, then asked, "Dad, will you come back in a few days?"
"I will."
Jasper replied gladly, "I’ll come to see you on Saturday."
Hearing this definite answer, Zara’s face lit up with joy, "Okay, then dad should sleep early, goodnight, mua~"
She generously blew a kiss, then strongly invited Sabrina, "Mommy, do you want to say goodnight and give dad a kiss?"
