Chapter 193: The Two Elders of the Hawke Family Arrive
"Cindy, are you okay?"
Wayne held tightly onto Leia, who was disheveled and kept coughing, his eyes full of concern.
Leia took big breaths, barely managing a faint smile, "I..."
Just as she was about to say she was fine, out of the corner of her eye she saw Hay rushing over.
Instantly, her pupils constricted.
"Wayne, watch out."
Wayne snapped back to reality, hastily pulling her behind him and began fighting with Hay.
Leia hid to the side, watching Wayne and Hay closely while taking out her phone to call the police.
This Hay is not mentally stable.
Determined to kill her, today he won’t escape.
Wayne is very agile, quickly knocking Hay down to the ground.
He cursed and glared angrily in the direction where Leia hid.
Leia only felt her head aching and dizzy.
She touched her forehead, which had long swollen into a large bump, now gushing blood.
Luckily, she wasn’t killed by the impact or strangled to death and is still alive.
Thanks to Wayne!
Before passing out, Leia didn’t forget to call Elara to pick up the little ones.
Faintly, she heard police sirens and the anxious shouts of a man.
"Cindy, don’t be afraid, I’ll take you to see a doctor."
It was Wayne’s voice.
She was being held by him.
Wow, the man’s arms are strong.
His chest is firm too.
Feels very safe!
...
The Hawke Family Old Residence.
Madam Hawke came out of her room, looking at the empty living room, and sighed.
The little guy isn’t home; it’s so quiet here.
"Why are you sighing?"
Elder Hawthorne emerged from outside, brushing away imaginary dust.
"I just miss Charlie and wonder if he’s comfortable living at that Elara Don’s place."
Madam Hawke sighed again, replying.
"That child doesn’t even call us; clearly, he’s forgotten about us."
Elder Hawthorne took the cup of water handed over by a servant and complained.
Madam Hawke’s old eyes shifted, "Is Elara Don really that good? Good enough for Charlie to not want to come home? Old man, why don’t we go take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Hawthorne’s eyes lit up.
This is a great idea!
But...
"We are the elders of the Hawke Family; it’s not appropriate to just go over like this."
"We’re going to see our own grandson; what’s wrong with that? Come on, let’s go."
Madam Hawke, once deciding to leave, urged Elder Hawthorne impatiently.
"Do you know where they live?"
"I don’t, I’ll call Secretary Qin and ask."
"..."
Clear Water Bay Villas.
Elara Don brought the two kids home and was busy in the kitchen.
The little ones went to the children’s room, one playing on the computer, the other with bugs, a scene of harmony and warmth.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Elara Don was busy in the kitchen, and she called out, "Bea, go see who’s here? If it’s strangers or a certain someone, don’t open the door."
From the children’s room, Bea heard and ran out on his short legs.
"Okay, Mommy."
He knew not to open the door for strangers.
If it’s his own dad, he can’t open the door either.
The little guy climbed onto a chair, peeking outside through the peephole.
When he saw the two distinguished elderly standing outside, his eyes widened in surprise.
It’s Grandpa Hawthorne and Grandma Hawke!
"Bea, who’s here?"
Elara Don poked her head out from the kitchen and asked.
Bea hurriedly scrambled down from the chair and rushed to the kitchen.
"Mommy, it’s bad news, Grandpa Hawthorne and Grandma Hawke are here!"
What!
Elara Don was so surprised she almost dropped the spatula in her hand.
Her face filled with panic.
"Why are they here? What should I do?"
The sudden visit from the Hawke Family elders must be to see Charlie.
But there’s not only Charlie at home.
Unexpected feelings of unease.
"Brother, who did you say is here?"
Dominic Hawke also came out from the children’s room, his eyes glowing.
How did he hear his brother say that Grandpa and Grandma are here?
"Grandpa Hawthorne and Grandma Hawke are here."
Bea replied, his eyes also gleaming.
He hadn’t seen them in a long time and missed them!
"Bea, go put a mask on, remember, don’t take it off, just say you have a cold, okay?"
Elara Don took a deep breath, instructing Bea.
"Okay, Mommy."
Bea knew his mommy’s concerns, so he walked on his short legs towards the children’s room to put on a mask.
Elara Don tidied up her clothes and hair, steadied herself, and rushed to open the door for the two elders.
The two had already grown a bit impatient, thinking of calling Dominic Hawke to confirm the location.
At that moment, the door finally opened, and Elara Don looked at them somewhat nervously.
"Hello, Elder Hawthorne and Madam Hawke."
The two Hawke Family elders scrutinized her, nodding lightly.
Dominic Hawke poked his head out from behind Elara Don, smiling and greeting them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, why are you here?"
Seeing their little grandson, the two Hawke Family elders smiled.
"Charlie, have you forgotten Grandpa and Grandma? You’ve been out playing without even telling us you’re safe?"
Dominic Hawke grinned, holding one hand with each elder, "I’m sorry, Grandpa and Grandma, please forgive me, come in and have a seat."
The two elders glanced at Elara Don and went straight inside.
Elara Don’s back was sweaty, she swallowed and quickly closed the door, following them inside.
Inside, Bea was wearing a mask, his eyes shining as he looked at the two Hawke Family elders.
"Hello, Grandpa Hawthorne and Grandma Hawke."
The two elders paused, their eyes fixed on the emerging Bea.
They both knew Elara Don was a single mother.
Lived with a son all along.
So, is this Elara Don’s son?
This child wearing a mask looked so much like their own grandson.
"Hello, your name is..."
"Grandpa, Grandma, he’s Bea, my brother."
Dominic Hawke spoke first, intentionally emphasizing the word brother.
The two elders exchanged a look, their eyes flashing a hint of complexity.
It seems Charlie is very fond of this mother and son.
Are they really going to accept little Dominic marrying a single mother?
The Hawke Family is not just any household!
"Elder Hawthorne, Madam Hawke, please sit and have some tea."
Elara Don poured two cups of water and placed them on the coffee table.
The two elders sat on the sofa, holding Dominic Hawke’s hand, looking around.
The place is a bit small, but clean and tidy.
The whole place filled with a warm, lived-in feeling.
Clearly, the hostess is great at managing a home.
Elara Don’s fingers curled slightly, "Please wait a moment, Charlie, keep your grandpa and grandma company, I’ll make dinner."
"Okay, Mommy."
Dominic Hawke replied sweetly.
Elara Don smiled warmly, glanced at Bea, winked, and went into the kitchen.
Bea understood, knowing his mommy was reminding him to be careful so the two elders wouldn’t see his true face.
A knowing smile appeared.
Mommy was too nervous.
She could rest assured that without her consent, he wouldn’t acknowledge his relationship with the Hawke Family members.
