Chapter 238: Chapter 238: I’m an Outsider? (2)
Clad in a white dress, her figure graceful, it was Claire North.
Claire North saw Raina North stand up, "Sister."
Raina North nodded slightly.
"Sister, come sit, I want to chat with you."
Seeing Claire North strike a pose like the mistress of the house, Raina North couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Just as she was about to speak, a small figure dashed down from upstairs.
Baby Hawthorne sprayed at Claire North, "Who do you think you are? Qualified to sit with my mommy? You even want to chat with my mommy, how big-headed of you."
"Ba... Baby..." Claire North’s face turned blue from the scolding by Baby Hawthorne.
Baby Hawthorne gave Claire North a big eye roll, full of disdain.
Of course, it was disdain. If not for this woman, mommy wouldn’t consider leaving with Casper North and Shea, abandoning him and daddy.
Baby Hawthorne felt that their feud was immense.
When he turned to Raina North, a smile bloomed on his face like a flower, his voice as sweet as honey: "Mommy, be careful on the road, drive slowly."
Raina North lowered her gaze and saw the nervousness in Baby Hawthorne’s eyes, and immediately understood his little thoughts. Last night’s attempt to leave with Shea and Casper North had frightened this child.
Raina North sighed inwardly and smiled, "Okay." She reached out to pat Baby Hawthorne’s head, "Be good at home, okay?"
"Got it!" Baby Hawthorne’s eyes sparkled, "I will definitely be good, and take care of my sister and Casper."
How thoughtful and obedient Baby is, making her especially want Elias Hawthorne to go bankrupt.
If he were bankrupt and had nothing, he certainly couldn’t grab her back like before. By then, taking Baby away would be a piece of cake.
Stop!
Raina North quickly suppressed such rebellious thoughts.
"Baby, you must also take care of yourself."
"Alright." Baby Hawthorne loudly responded. At that moment, he felt as if he was about to fly with happiness.
Looking at Baby Hawthorne, Raina North couldn’t help but smile. With Baby in tow, she got onto the electric cart waiting at the manor’s main entrance.
After watching Raina North leave, Baby Hawthorne ran off to find Casper North and Shea to play with.
Claire North widened her eyes in disbelief, never expecting to be ignored so thoroughly.
She stood up abruptly, wanting to chase after them, but a servant appeared out of nowhere and blocked her: "Miss North, please stop. Outsiders can’t roam the manor freely!"
"I’m an outsider?" Claire North’s voice sharpened uncontrollably.
The servant seemed a bit perplexed, "Aren’t you?"
Claire North couldn’t stand it any longer and said, "I’m the biological mother of The Hawthorne Family’s little prince!"
"But you’re not the legitimate mother. The legitimate mother of our young master is Raina North; she is the young master’s wife, and the head mistress of The Hawthorne Family."
"You!" Claire North was nearly unable to resist slapping her, but fortunately, at the last moment, she remembered this wasn’t in The Hawthorne Family.
She gritted her teeth in hatred, "I’ll remember you, just you wait!"
The servant slightly bowed, "Being remembered by Miss North is my honor. Please, have a seat."
Then, they offered a cup of tea and respectfully withdrew.
Claire North sat alone in the living room for a long time before she finally saw Elias Hawthorne coming down from upstairs.
He was wearing a casual outfit, in light gray, making him look a few years younger than his actual age.
Claire North’s eyes immediately lit up, and a trace of obsession flashed through her gaze.
"Elias, are you done with work?"
Elias Hawthorne glanced at Claire North, "Miss North, something you need?"
