Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Highly Insulting and Deeply Hurtful (1)
Old Mrs. Hawthorne’s words were like ripping Claire North’s face off and grinding it into the ground.
Claire North’s expression was grim: "Grandma, I don’t understand why you have such deep misunderstandings about me? Did someone say something to you?"
"Stop, stop. Don’t think I can’t tell you’re implying things again. I’m old but I’m not senile."
Old Mrs. Hawthorne looked at Claire North’s pitiful, about-to-cry look and found it displeasing.
No wonder she gets along with Susan Kensington; this level of intelligence is only suited to Susan’s kind.
At this time, the electric scooter had arrived, Elias Hawthorne got on.
Only then did Old Mrs. Hawthorne retract her cane.
Claire North couldn’t help but chase after, shouting, "Elias! Elias, wait for me!"
Elias Hawthorne heard, but didn’t even spare her a glance; Claire North could only watch as the scooter carried Elias Hawthorne away at the corner.
Claire North stomped her foot angrily.
Old Mrs. Hawthorne, supported by Aunt Rivers, leisurely remarked, "Aunt Rivers, I realize my Elias is truly blessed, otherwise how could he have married a gem like Raina?"
Aunt Rivers praised, "The young master has always had keen insight and discernment."
Old Mrs. Hawthorne couldn’t help but commend, "Exactly, exactly, those idioms are very well used, Aunt Rivers, you’re really getting better."
"It’s all thanks to your guidance, madam."
Claire North watched as Old Mrs. Hawthorne, chatting and ignoring her, walked away with a twisted, sinister face.
She gritted her teeth, determined to teach this old hag a lesson someday!
Jasper Hawthorne leisurely walked out from the hall, passing Claire North, and sincerely, earnestly suggested: "Miss North, please manage your expressions. Even if you’re upset and want to curse, please do it back in your own room, or if my big brother sees, he might crush you in a fit of anger, then you wouldn’t have the chance to jump around anymore. Honestly, watching you jump around like this is quite amusing. If you just vanish, it’ll be such a pity."
Claire North: "..."
Claire North was practically exploding.
Jasper Hawthorne’s words were not only extremely insulting but also deeply hurtful.
Flip the table!
But no matter how displeased, she had to suppress it.
Jasper Hawthorne is Elias Hawthorne’s younger brother, the second young master of The Hawthorne Family; before she becomes the head mistress of the family, he’s someone she truly can’t afford to offend!
Jasper Hawthorne couldn’t help but nod at Claire North’s appearance of suppressed displeasure and frustration.
That’s right, this is it. If you’re unhappy, then hold it in.
...
Apartment.
Raina North had just returned to the apartment with the three little ones when Anya Forrest came out of the room.
"Godmother!"
"Godmother!"
Casper North and Shea immediately rushed over.
Baby Hawthorne hesitated for three seconds, then also shouted: "Godmother!"
Anya Forrest raised an eyebrow: "When did I get another godchild from the Hawthorne Family?"
"Now." Baby Hawthorne puffed his cute little face: "From this moment on, you’re my godmother. Please take care of me, godmother. I am Raina’s son, your godson, Baby Hawthorne, full name Caden Hawthorne."
Anya Forrest looked at Baby Hawthorne’s outstretched little hand, utterly surprised, her mind instantly recalling the scene from two years ago when she acknowledged Casper North and Shea.
Back then, Raina North had just given birth not long ago, and she had left Ghost Doctor’s Vale for personal reasons. By the time she returned, the two little ones were already two years old.
At that time, Casper North and Shea were quite articulate; after receiving the meet-and-greet gift she gave, they reached out their little hands: "Ms. Anya Forrest, from this moment on, you’re my godmother. Please take care of me, godmother. I am Raina’s son (daughter), your godson (daughter), Casper North (Shea North)."
