FreeNovelChapter 280 She was the one to bring it up because she couldn't bear the thought of him throwing divorce papers in her face one day, demanding her signature. She needed to hold onto what little, brittle pride she still had.
“Mom, I'm a bit tired, | need to rest.” “Okay, but finish your food first,” Jolin sighed. Her daughter had always been a stubborn one. She would need time and patience to come to her own realizations.
Her daughter had stumbled upon a marriage that many women could only dream of. It felt as though the Hawthorne's lineage was steeped in luck getting the chance. She couldn't stand by and watch her daughter ruinit all.
That night, Arnold visited his Aunt Marcia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Aunt Marcia, did you have anything to do with what happened to Aurelia?” “What happened to her?” Marcia asked.
“She was hit by a car on her way home from work. She gave birth prematurely, and lost one of the twins,” Arnold's heart was heavy with grief.
He hadn't seen Aurelia in days. She was taken away by Leopold, and he had no way of reaching her. He didn’t know how she was doing, or if she was still mourning her lost child.
Marcia sighed, “She’s always been careless. This has nothing to do with me. | didn’t even have a plan yet, and she’s already given birth!” Arnold raised an eyebrow, his suspicion apparent, “Are you sure it wasn't you?” “No!” Marcia shook her head. “It was probably just an accident. You're being paranoid. I've always cherished you. Your suspicion hurts me!” “Aunt Marcia,” Arnold looked at her solemnly, “You're the closest person | have in this world, and Aurelia is the woman | love. By hurting her, you're hurting me.” Marcia gave a sardonic smile, “Should | help you win her back from Leopold, then?” “No, | can handle it myself. This time, | won't lose to Leopold!” Arnold was resolute.
Marcia patted his shoulder, “I'm here for you.” On the day of the baby shower, Jessica arrived with gifts for her grandson.
She held the baby in her arms, her joy apparent. The baby looked just like Leopold when he was a baby.
“Kane, it's grandmother, I'm here to see you.” The baby’s name was chosen by Jessica. She had names for both twins, but sadly, one didn’t make it.
Aurelia made a bottle of formula for the baby and handed it to Jessica to feed him.
He was a good boy, hardly crying and not demanding attention. After he was fed, he would play in his crib for a while before falling asleep.
She suspected that he inherited his father’s aloof personality.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJessica felt bad for her grandson not having breast milk and having to rely on formula instead. She glanced Chapter 280 at Aurelia’s slim figure, “You're too thin. | didn’t see you gain weight during your pregnancy. It's no wonder you don’t have milk.” Aurelia just smiled and said nothing.
Jolin quickly jumped in, “She probably takes after me. Both my kids were raised on formula too.” Jessica said, “You've been a great help, Jolin.” “I should be taking care of my daughter and grandson,” Jolin laughed.
Jessica tickled her grandson, “Even though your father isn’t the eldest son, you're the eldest legitimate grandson. You'll be the master of the Stirling family one day.” This made Jolin’s heart flutter with joy. The Stirling family valued the legitimate eldest son and grandson. Her grandson was destined to inherit the family’s wealth and no one could dispute it.
Thinking of her grandson inheriting such a vast fortune made her dizzy with happiness.
It was as if the Hawthorne family’s luck had turned. Their good fortune was the result of generations of good deeds. Her daughter had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
She would take good care of her precious grandson.
“Ma'am, we should have Aurelia give you more grandsons.” Aurelia choked on her drink and coughed. That would be Evelyn's job from now on, not hers.
