CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: NOT JUST ANYONE CAN BECOME A HAWTHORNE FAMILY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Vivian calmly looked at Yara, and slowly said, "You can’t force feelings. Your sister and Caden Hawthorne didn’t end up together, it means they weren’t meant to be."

However, Yara wouldn’t listen, and she continued to glare at Vivian, "I won’t let this go. I must let my sister know about this."

Riley Hawthorne pulled Vivian away, unwilling to engage further with Yara, "Let’s go, don’t mind her."

The two turned around and left, leaving Yara standing there, stomping her feet in anger.

Back in the car, Riley looked worriedly at Vivian. "Sister-in-law, don’t take Yara’s words to heart. She’s just too impulsive."

Vivian smiled slightly, "I’m fine, don’t worry."

Riley sighed, "That Yara is really a headache. I hope she doesn’t run off to complain to Yvonne York."

Hearing this, Vivian sighed, "Even if you don’t say it, they’ll find out sooner or later."

Riley pondered a moment, "You’re right. Why don’t you and my brother just officially announce it, so those women outside stop eyeing my brother."

Upon hearing this, Vivian couldn’t help but ask, "Does your brother have someone he likes?"

Riley immediately waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t let your imagination run wild. My brother only has you in his heart. If there’s someone he likes, it can only be you."

Vivian slightly lowered her head, a blush coloring her cheeks. "I was just casually asking."

Riley giggled, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. My brother is devoted to you, no one can take him away from your side."

The car continued to drive, but Vivian’s mood was a bit complicated. She knew Caden Hawthorne treated her well, but Yara’s appearance just now still left her feeling uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, don’t think too much. When we get back, let’s discuss properly how to announce it, so those who are hostile towards you know you are my brother’s rightful wife." Riley said enthusiastically.

Vivian gently nodded, but she was wondering, is announcing really a good idea? Would it bring more trouble to her and Caden Hawthorne?

In fact, Vivian feared their relationship being exposed, fearing criticism, fearing she was not worthy of him.

Fearing that his kindness to her was only because of the child.

Hartswell Manor.

"Vivian, you’re back! How was your outing with Riley today?"

Mrs. Hawthorne saw them return and enthusiastically had the servants prepare some fruit.

"Mom, it was good." Vivian responded with a smile.

Mrs. Hawthorne held Vivian’s hand, speaking warmly, "Vivian, you and Caden have registered and married, but have not announced it. You should start considering the next step."

Vivian was slightly startled, unsure of how to respond.

Riley chimed in, "Mom, don’t rush them. Sister-in-law and my brother have their own plans. But speaking of it, sister-in-law, you really don’t need to worry about announcing. You know my brother’s capabilities, right? He can surely handle all the trouble."

Vivian awkwardly smiled, "Mom, this is not for me to decide alone. It depends on what Caden thinks."

"Vivian, don’t worry about that. Caden mentioned this to me a few days ago, he’s definitely willing to announce it." Mrs. Hawthorne patted her hand, smiling.

At this moment, Caden Hawthorne came home from work, seeing the three sitting together, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"What are you talking about? So lively."

Caden walked over and naturally sat beside Vivian. Mrs. Hawthorne gave him a look, saying, "Isn’t it about you two."

"Brother, guess who we met today?" Riley smiled mysteriously.

Caden raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who did you meet?"

Riley glanced at Vivian, and said, "We met Yara. She still holds hostility towards sister-in-law. But sister-in-law was awesome, she directly rebuked her."

Caden’s eyes instantly turned cold, "She came to trouble Vivian again?"

Vivian gently shook her head, "It’s not really trouble, just said a few things."

Caden coughed lightly, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "If you encounter such people again, don’t pay attention, just let the bodyguards drive her away."

Mrs. Hawthorne frowned, "That Yara really lacks discretion. Her sister not being with Caden is fate, yet she keeps clinging. Vivian, don’t take her words to heart."

As she spoke, Mrs. Hawthorne held Vivian’s hand, her face gentle: "Not just anyone can become a daughter-in-law of our Hawthorne Family."

Hearing this, Vivian smiled, somewhat awkward, "Mom, I didn’t take it to heart."

If it weren’t for her being pregnant with Caden Hawthorne’s child, perhaps Mrs. Hawthorne wouldn’t have agreed for Caden to marry her, right?

Is she lucky, or unfortunate?

"That’s good." Mrs. Hawthorne couldn’t help but urge, "I think you two should announce it, so those vixens outside stop eyeing our Caden."

Caden frowned slightly, Riley couldn’t help but ask, "Brother, what do you think?"

"I’m fine with anything, let Vivian decide!" Saying that, Caden directed his gaze at Vivian.

Vivian felt touched, knowing Caden was trying to reassure her. But she was still somewhat uncertain, "Give me a little more time to think it over."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you." Caden nodded.

"How about this? Leave your marriage certificate with me, and whenever you want to announce it, come ask me for it." Mrs. Hawthorne’s eyes twinkled, as if she was planning something.

Caden and Vivian exchanged a glance, but still handed their marriage certificate to Mrs. Hawthorne for safekeeping.

That night, Mrs. Hawthorne posted two photos of the marriage certificate on her social media.

She knew that in her social circle, apart from wives of various wealthy families, there were many debutantes, including Yvonne York and Yara.

Sure enough, once her post went out, Yara commented below.

Yara commented, "How is this possible? How could Caden have married that Vivian Lynch?"

Mrs. Hawthorne saw Yara’s comment, feeling quite satisfied, deliberately replied, "What’s impossible about it? My son and Vivian have deep mutual feelings and registered marriage long ago. From now on, those with ulterior motives can stop thinking about my son."

Yara was furious, quickly screenshot the post and sent it to Yvonne York.

Yvonne York saw the screenshot and her face turned very unsightly.

She had always thought she still had a chance to be with Caden Hawthorne, but unexpectedly he had already registered in marriage with another woman.

She’s unwilling, deciding to return home and ask Caden Hawthorne clearly.

Yvonne York, abroad, immediately booked a flight back home for the next day.
