CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: AREN’T YOU WORRIED IT’S LIKE A SHEEP ENTERING A TIGER’S DEN? (1)

She was dressed in casual attire, her long hair tied back, with fair skin and delicate features. Her lips looked enticingly red due to eating a lot of spicy food.

That day, the beautiful moment of having her beneath him surged into his mind, and Elias Hawthorne couldn’t help but momentarily lose his thoughts.

Elias suddenly asked, "How was your visit back home today?"

Raina North was taken aback for a moment before realizing he was talking to her: "It was okay, I guess."

Other than her grandfather’s illness, Raina didn’t take to heart the other events of today’s visit back home; she was used to it anyway.

Little liar.

Elias couldn’t help but snort softly. Had he not witnessed it himself, she might have easily fooled him.

Picking up the chrysanthemum tea beside him, he took a sip and said lightly, "Since you’ve married into The Hawthorne Family, you’re one of them."

Raina blinked in surprise. If she didn’t misunderstand, was Elias trying to back her up?

It seemed like it was the first time someone wanted to stand up for her.

Back when she was still the eldest lady of The North Family, others knew her status and showed respect without her needing any backing. Once her background was exposed, she became a lucky impostor, and no one remembered to back her up.

Elias was the first.

Even if she didn’t need it anymore now.

"Thank you." Raina expressed gratitude, a genuine smile gracing her lips.

Kindness should always be cherished, no matter when.

Elias watched Raina, feeling his gaze wasn’t willing to leave her.

"No need, daddy." Baby Hawthorne immediately chimed in, tilting up his adorable face: "My robot and I will protect mommy."

"Mm-hmm, my darling Bobby is the best." Seeing the little one seriously wanting to protect her, Raina felt overwhelmingly tender and couldn’t resist cupping his face, kissing him several times.

Baby Hawthorne was a bit shy but delighted, his eyes twinkling brighter than a sky full of stars.

Unable to help herself, Raina screamed in her mind, oohhh, her darling Bobby was just too cute.

Watching the big and small ones cuddling lovingly, Elias’s handsome face darkened, once more feeling like an outsider, a third wheel somehow...

If Raina could hear Elias’s thoughts, she would definitely give him a look of appreciation, President Hawthorne, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

The trio’s combat power was strong; they had almost finished the prepared dishes, and Raina couldn’t help but feel thankful. Luckily, she had bought enough, or else Casper would only have been pitifully eating a few greens.

Thinking of Casper still being hungry, Raina felt a little anxious in her heart: "Well, it’s getting late..."

Rumble—

Just as she spoke, there was a sound of thunder and lightning crashing outside the window, followed by a fierce wind, and soon the rain began to pour heavily, becoming a steady downpour.

Raina couldn’t continue what she wanted to say. The rain was so intense, she really couldn’t bring herself to send them out, especially since Baby was still so young.

Seeing Baby eagerly looking at her, eyes full of longing, she couldn’t restrain herself.

"The rain is so heavy, perhaps let Baby stay, and you..."

"I’ll stay too."

What... what the heck?

Elias Hawthorne wants to stay over here for the night?

Raina felt her ears must be playing tricks, or how else could she hear such an incredible thing.

Though she was the one who spoke first, she meant for Bobby to stay, didn’t she?

Besides, even with the storm and rain outside, there wasn’t hail, and one could still brave it out and leave.

Moreover, with Elias Hawthorne’s status, his looks, shouldn’t he be worried about staying over being like a sheep entering a tiger’s den?
