Adrian Grant staggered to his feet, letting out a low, bitter laugh. Laughing at himself for being too foolish. They lived happily as a family of three, so why did he, the ex-husband, come here? The current Raina Lowell didn’t need him at all. Yet he, like an idiot, worried about her injuries, worried that she would be too distraught over losing her daughter, worried that she couldn’t move on. Now it seemed, it was all just him being sentimental by himself. Adrian Grant took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, placed the items he brought at the door, and turned away forlornly. After Evelyn closed the door, she turned and ran to the study. Seeing her mother discussing something with Uncle Jennings, she said with pride: "Mom, guess who I just chased away." Raina Lowell looked at her, "Someone came just now?" "Yeah, that annoying and cold ex-husband uncle. I told him my mom and dad were taking a bath, and kicked him out with one foot." She hated the ex-husband uncle the most. Because he stood by and did nothing when her sister needed help, she wouldn’t have any dealings with him in the future. Raina Lowell exchanged glances with Alaric Jennings; although it was awkward, they didn’t say anything to the child. Alaric Jennings asked, "Do you still need to use him? If so, do you want to go back and explain?" He knew what Raina intended to do; if she couldn’t avenge Aurora and Old Master Grant, she wouldn’t go back to Yarrow with him. For revenge, he supported Raina doing whatever she wanted to do. Even if it meant going back to Adrian Grant. "Hmm, I’ll go over later." If she didn’t snatch Adrian Grant away from Isabelle Everett, Isabelle wouldn’t expose her true nature. She did still need to use Adrian Grant. Thinking that the DNA results would come out today, Raina Lowell looked at the child. "Evelyn, stay home with Uncle, I have to go out for a bit." Evelyn looked worried, "Mom, will it be dangerous for you alone? If we can’t get revenge, let’s not. When I grow up, I’ll kill them all." He was too afraid something would happen to mom. Follow current novels on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 He had already lost his sister and couldn’t afford to lose mom too. "Children shouldn’t talk about killing or not killing. Mom is just going out to take care of something, it’s fine. Be good and listen, mom will be back soon." Alaric Jennings pulled the child into his arms, "Let mom go, don’t worry, uncle will protect mom." He had already arranged to have bodyguards secretly protect Raina. This time, they definitely wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Only then did Evelyn stop speaking. After leaving, Raina Lowell first went to the hospital’s testing center. After getting the results, she looked at the indicated non-paternity relationship and fell into contemplation. Evelyn and Adrian Grant were not biologically related. Although she breathed a sigh of relief, she inexplicably felt that something was amiss. If Evelyn wasn’t Adrian Grant’s child, why did Isabelle Everett kidnap her Aurora back then? Why did Isabelle Everett know her child didn’t have a father? Throwing away the test results, Raina Lowell pulled out her phone to call Adrian Grant. She had to find out four years ago, was it Adrian Grant who touched her or Isabelle Everett. Once truly certain that Adrian Grant and her Evelyn had no connection, she would then use Adrian Grant to get back at Isabelle Everett. The phone rang for a long time before the other party answered. But the voice that came through was chillingly cold. "What do you want with me? Raina Lowell, since you’re already with your child and Alaric Jennings, don’t contact me anymore." Such a woman, hot and cold. One moment professing love and wanting to be with him. When he wanted to find an opportunity to dissolve the engagement, she went off to be with the child’s father. Did she think he was something to be picked up when needed and discarded at will? Adrian Grant thought he ought to be ruthless, that he shouldn’t forgive Raina every time she looked down. Raina Lowell knew that Adrian was acting out because of what Evelyn said that morning. She didn’t care, speaking to herself, "I miss you, come to Lowell Manor after work today." Without waiting for his refusal, she hung up directly. Raina Lowell knew Adrian Grant would go to Lowell Manor. So, she went early and had Madam Cole prepare dinner and wait. Adrian Grant thought he could be cold and ruthless, truly not caring about that woman anymore. But she said she missed him and was waiting at Lowell Manor. And like a dog, he scurried over after work. As soon as he entered, he smelled the aroma of food. Madam Cole came over to take his coat, smiling, "Sir and madam have reconciled? Madam has been busy since noon, preparing a big table of food for you." Adrian Grant didn’t care about the terms Madam Cole used. Sure enough, passing the hallway, he saw Raina Lowell wearing an apron busy in the dining room. In his black shirt, he walked over, looking at Raina’s slender, lithe figure, feeling an inexplicable impulse to embrace her from behind. But being rational, he restrained himself. Raina Lowell turned to look at him, deliberately pleasing, "You’re back? Wash your hands and eat." Adrian Grant stood still, asking her, "Weren’t you with your child and his father? Why suddenly call me over?" It couldn’t just be for this meal. She better have a reasonable excuse, or he wouldn’t eat, turning and leaving. Raina Lowell faced him, coquettishly explaining, "I went over because I can’t bear to be away from Evelyn, I wanted to spend more time with her. I told you, I don’t like Alaric Jennings, nor plan to be with him." "Not with him, yet you’re bathing together." Children usually don’t lie. They saw what they saw and said it as it is. This woman is adept at deception, he won’t believe her again. "That was nonsense from a child, I was discussing matters with Alaric Jennings in the study then." Raina Lowell feigned anger, "If you don’t believe me, just forget it. Anyway, having lost Aurora, life means nothing. You can leave, don’t ever care about me again." She sat down to eat by herself. She couldn’t be bothered to coax him, staying or leaving was his choice. Although Adrian Grant was infuriated by her state of mind, he couldn’t bring himself to leave. He ultimately went to the bathroom. Returning, he obediently sat by the dining table. He instructed Raina Lowell, "Recently, if you can stay at home, do that. Don’t go anywhere. My mother is still upset about you hiding the child. I’m afraid she’ll trouble you." Raina Lowell paused her eating motions. She looked up, staring at the man across, bluntly asking: "On your birthday four years ago, why did you touch Isabelle Everett? We still had an engagement then." Though she didn’t want her child’s father to be Adrian Grant either. Yet she always felt Aurora didn’t call him father without reason. Moreover, when she took the sample for DNA testing, she coincidentally bumped into Ethan Everett. Maybe Ethan had investigated her and intervened somehow. She needed to question Adrian Grant clearly. "Why are you asking about the past again?" Adrian Grant didn’t want to mention the mistakes of his past, his tone turned colder. "Answer me, why did you touch Isabelle Everett during our engagement? Was it because you were drunk and had no idea who she was, or did you clearly know she was Isabelle Everett when you did it?" Raina Lowell pressed relentlessly.
