CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: AREN’T YOU WORRIED IT’S LIKE A LAMB ENTERING A TIGER’S DEN? (2)

Raina North couldn’t help but grumble to herself. She hinted multiple times, yet after being completely ignored, she had no choice but to accept the fact. Fortunately, the size of the house wasn’t small.

"How about President Hawthorne sleeps in... this room tonight?" Raina North opened the door to the guest bedroom, "I’ll change the sheets."

"There’s no need for that trouble." Elias Hawthorne looked at Raina North with a probing gaze, as if he had caught her changing her mind from earlier planning to let him sleep in the master bedroom.

Recalling the extra set of dishes at the dining table earlier, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

"I might not have suitable pajamas here." Raina North made one last reluctant hint.

"No worries, a bath towel will suffice."

"Alright then." Raina North resignedly took out a brand new bath towel from the cabinet.

It was easier to manage for Bobby, who could wear Casper’s clothes perfectly.

Thinking about Casper hiding in the master bedroom, Raina North was a bit anxious; Casper must be starving.

Seeing Elias Hawthorne still in the living room handling documents, Raina North found it hard to sit still, yet with him not going back to the room, she couldn’t bring food to Casper.

She didn’t dare to recklessly risk it; if discovered, it would be troublesome, and Elias Hawthorne was not easy to handle.

Seeing Bobby yawn out of the corner of her eye, Raina North was overjoyed and quickly said, "President Hawthorne, Bobby is sleepy; why don’t you take him to wash up?"

Hearing her, Elias Hawthorne turned his gaze, fixing it on Raina North.

His eyes were full of perception, giving her the illusion of being completely seen through.

After a moment, Elias Hawthorne finally said, "Sure."

He put down the documents and took the reluctantly departing Baby Hawthorne into the bathroom.

Whew—

Raina North let out a long sigh, feeling as if her back was drenched.

This man Elias Hawthorne was truly dangerous, staying around him was no different from seeking skin from a tiger.

But having finally seen Bobby after five years, she couldn’t give up.

Raina North touched her chin, seriously contemplating the chances of sneaking Bobby out.

The answer was less than one in ten thousand.

Raina North didn’t lose heart; there would always be a way.

She hurried to the kitchen to prepare some food and just as she pushed the door open to enter, she saw Casper squatting at the door, looking at her with a face full of grievance like an abandoned stray dog.

"Mommy, if you don’t come soon, your Mr. Casper will starve to death."

Raina North felt even more guilty, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t expect Elias Hawthorne to bring your big brother."

Casper’s little face was all scrunched up, sighing, "You guys are out there feasting and having a great time, while I’m just that unfortunate soul that can’t see the light."

Seeing her son’s playful look, Raina North raised an eyebrow, "Wanna sing ’Little Cabbage’?"

"Not necessary when I look at my biological dad and big brother." Casper said, sneakily pulling the door open and peering outside.

Raina North’s mind went blank and she unhesitatingly dragged him back, "Casper, what are you doing?"

Just after yelling, she saw Casper looking at her in a daze.

Raina North then realized she was too agitated, and although Casper was quite mature, he was still just a young child. It was only natural for a child to be curious about their biological father, there was really no need to overreact.

Suddenly, a rush of guilt welled up in her, and she apologized shamefully, "Sorry, baby, mommy shouldn’t have yelled at you."

"Mommy," Casper snuggled into Raina North’s arms, wrapping his arms around her neck, "Don’t be afraid. No matter who my biological dad is, I won’t go with him. You’re the most important woman in my life."
