Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Mommy, I Want to Duel with You (Part 2)
"Or else?"
Listening to Raina North’s matter-of-fact words, Elias Hawthorne’s face darkened: "What do you think? Mrs. Hawthorne!"
Shea was stunned upon hearing Elias Hawthorne’s words: "Mommy, mommy, is this the man you just married?"
Elias Hawthorne’s face turned even more unpleasant. What did she mean by the man she "just married"? Could it be that Raina North was married to many people before?
Raina North didn’t notice Elias Hawthorne’s change in expression, she lowered her eyes to look at her daughter, and said coldly: "Don’t tell me, Elias Hawthorne is the man you adore."
"That’s right." Shea said righteously: "In this world, only a perfect man like him deserves my devoted love. Unfortunately, Mommy, you got to him first."
Shea gave Raina North a resentful look, full of accusations.
Raina North: "..."
Shea suddenly took two steps back, putting distance between herself and Raina North, pulled out a plain handkerchief, and threw it in front of Raina North: "Mommy, let’s duel, whoever wins gets the man of our dreams."
Raina North sneered twice, directly stepping up to pull Shea into her arms: "Stop making trouble here, hurry and call your godmother, do you know you’re driving her crazy with worry."
At her words, Shea dared not struggle anymore: "Alright, I’ll go call my godmother then."
Raina North’s expression softened as she released Shea.
Shea took her phone and ran outside the office to make a video call to Anya Forrest.
With the child gone, the office quieted down significantly.
Elias Hawthorne looked at Raina North: "Mrs. Hawthorne, aren’t you going to explain?"
Raina North seemed puzzled: "Explain what?"
"The little girl just now. If I heard correctly, she called you mommy."
"Yes, she’s my daughter. She’s twins with Casper."
"You..." Elias Hawthorne didn’t expect Raina North to admit it so readily, but he quickly realized, Raina’s straightforward admission was because she didn’t care.
She didn’t care about him, so she wouldn’t hide the existence of her daughter.
...
Quinn Thorne came to find Elias Hawthorne for a drink, just stepped out of the elevator and heard voices coming from the stairwell.
The voice was very familiar, and memories he had buried deep in his mind surged up.
He uncontrollably walked towards the stairwell.
Bam——
The fire door was pushed open vigorously.
Then, he saw a cute, pretty little girl holding a phone.
Shea holding the phone, blinked her big eyes: "Uncle, is there something you need?"
Quinn Thorne looked at Shea, after a while he finally said: "No, uncle just came to the wrong place. Sorry."
Quinn Thorne closed the fire door, turned around, and walked away slowly.
He thought to himself, he must really be bewitched, how could she still be alive? She ran into that fire just to get revenge on him!
"Shea, what’s wrong? Who was talking just now?"
Shea withdrew her gaze: "It was an uncle, a very strange uncle."
"Oh." Anya Forrest didn’t pay much attention: "Shea, you need to be good, you know you’re not allowed to run around, right?"
"I know, I know. Mommy already scolded me just now. Godmother, you have no idea how fierce my mommy is!"
Quinn Thorne walked into the CEO’s office, collapsed onto the sofa: "Boss, do you have any booze?"
Elias Hawthorne glanced at Quinn Thorne a few times, his demeanor couldn’t help but make him frown: "No."
"Oh." Quinn Thorne immediately stood up: "I’ll go find the second young master, he surely has some."
Saying this, he began to walk out.
"Come back." Elias Hawthorne called him back: "Go drink at a bar."
"Sure thing."
As long as there’s alcohol, he wasn’t picky.
