Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 207: Zara Can Call Someone Else Daddy
However, Quentin Morgan could only think about it, after all, Jasper Fitzgerald was right beside him.
He didn’t dare actually snatch a student.
The most surprised person on site was Silas Lynch.
His expression was simply unbelievable.
Such a young child is actually qualified to join The Calligraphy and Painting Society???
He had spent more than a decade making a name for himself in this circle.
Joining the society was only successful after fifteen years of working in the field...
He didn’t expect reality to slap him in the face like this.
Silas Lynch’s expression changed repeatedly, filled with reluctance, yet he didn’t dare to directly question Elder Morgan. He could only turn around to Brooke Sinclairs and ask, "Didn’t you say she was just painting for fun?"
"I... I didn’t know either..."
Brooke’s face turned from green to purple.
She never dreamed that this little fool could possess such talent.
Why?!
Why does everything good in this world get taken by Sabrina Hayes?
At the past two summits, she had been utterly embarrassed.
This time, she thought she could use her son’s glory to reclaim a city, making everyone see them in a new light, but instead, she was again slapped in the face.
The praises of Sonny just moments ago felt like a slap on her face, burning and uncomfortable.
She clenched her hands, instinctively looking at Jordan Hawthorne’s reaction, feeling very anxious. She feared Jordan would regret the divorce because of this, feared he would refocus his attention on Sabrina Hayes and her foolish daughter...
Jordan seemed to have just learned of this as well, his expression extremely surprised.
In his heart, emotions were far stronger than everyone else’s.
Whether it was Sabrina Hayes or Zara, he realized how little he understood about them.
Concerning matters related to them, he always heard it from others.
He suddenly recalled when he was still married to Sabrina, Zara wanted to gift him a painting, and Sabrina had mentioned sending their daughter to learn painting.
At that time, he didn’t take this matter seriously, only thinking that everything was a ploy by Sabrina to get his attention.
But now... the sudden truth was truly hard to believe.
Is Zara really so skilled at painting?
Even The Calligraphy and Painting Society has sent her an invitation.
Sabrina observed everyone’s changing expressions.
But she was too lazy to concern herself with their feelings, she only glanced at Jasper Fitzgerald with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, "Thank you..."
She thanked him softly.
The tense emotions could finally relax.
She knew that Jasper’s status and Zara’s membership were thanks to his influence, which prompted Elder Morgan to bring it up.
Jasper looked at her gently and replied, "No need to thank me. This is what Zara deserves; she is amazing on her own, showing her potential, hence the invitation."
Sabrina nodded, accepting this statement but was still thankful to him in her heart.
Jasper didn’t linger on the topic, his gaze coldly sweeping to the staff nearby, telling them, "Go call your exhibition manager here. With both sides claiming this painting, and unable to resolve the dispute, let’s check the surveillance. Whoever arrived first will get it."
The staff quickly discerned his extraordinary status, realizing they had made a mistake earlier, they didn’t dare delay and promptly responded, "Alright, I’ll go right away!"
Soon, the exhibition manager arrived.
On the way, they had already understood the whole story and, unwilling to escalate the matter, particularly with Quentin Morgan present to moderate, the surveillance footage was quickly accessed without much effort.
Soon, the image revealed Sabrina leading a small child to the scene.
Mother and daughter stopped first in front of the sunflower painting, Sabrina squatted down to discuss the painting with the child, and then she called over the staff first.
Interestingly, Sonny also appeared during this period.
He was wandering around the venue without any particular interest in the paintings, seemingly just playing.
Until he saw Sabrina and Zara, watching them from behind for quite a bit.
Only when Sabrina called the staff to buy the painting did he suddenly alertly shout, "I want to buy this painting!"
Jordan’s face turned dark after seeing this, extremely unsightly, the unease within him growing stronger.
He coldly gazed at Sonny on the ground.
Brooke was startled by his gaze, her heart leapt, quickly saying, "Jordan, Sonny must not have spoken because he heard them; he must have been looking at the painting, not at Sabrina and Zara..."
Sonny also got nervous and quickly chimed in, "Yes, Dad Hawthorne, I was curious when I saw the painting looked bad, so I followed to look, I didn’t even notice Auntie Sabrina and Zara."
However, this statement lacked credibility compared to the initial one.
Jasper also didn’t intend to view more.
He spoke to the exhibition manager, "Since the matter is now clear, please take the painting down. We’ll be taking it."
Upon hearing this, a hint of darkness appeared in Jordan’s eyes.
He stood with a stern face and spoke out, "Zara is my daughter. Since she was interested in this painting, I will pay for it."
Jasper heard this and looked at him steadily with his deep gaze.
Jordan stared back, a strong hostility shooting from his eyes.
The two of them were both high-ranking and their presence was naturally formidable, creating a strong sense of oppression among those around them.
This feeling was almost suffocating.
The head of the art exhibition was completely bewildered.
What is going on here?
Who exactly should they be giving the painting to?
Just as the head of the exhibition was in a dilemma, Sabrina Hayes stepped forward.
With a cold tone, she said, "No need to trouble President Hawthorne, whatever Zara wants, I’ll pay for it myself.
Since there was no intention of giving it in the first place, a late act of charity isn’t necessary; Zara wouldn’t be happy accepting it either. If you truly care about her, don’t affect her rare good mood."
After speaking, Sabrina Hayes ignored the unexpected and somewhat displeased expression of Jordan Hawthorne and directly instructed the exhibition head, "Please help us take down the painting, I’ll go pay later."
"Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll have someone take it down right away."
The head of the exhibition let out a subtle sigh of relief and quickly instructed the staff to take down the painting.
Sabrina Hayes withdrew her gaze, ignoring Jordan Hawthorne and the others, and turned to Jasper Fitzgerald, speaking softly, "We’ve seen the painting, let’s go."
"Okay."
Jasper Fitzgerald nodded slightly, withdrew his gaze, and took the little cub’s hand.
Zara showed no resistance to him either.
This starkly contrasted with the timid manner she displayed earlier when she saw Jordan Hawthorne and hid behind Sabrina Hayes.
Jordan Hawthorne watched this, and his eyes finally darkened.
He couldn’t bear this feeling any longer and sternly said to Sabrina Hayes, "Sabrina Hayes, don’t forget, I’m Zara’s father!"
Sabrina Hayes halted her steps to leave.
She found Jordan Hawthorne’s words somewhat laughable.
Moreover, she didn’t understand what Jordan Hawthorne meant by emphasizing this matter right now.
In the past, when Zara needed her father, he was perfunctory, indifferent, and ignored the child’s needs.
Yet now, he’s eager to assert his identity.
But, is he worthy?
Sabrina Hayes didn’t want to waste words with him and only wanted to leave with Zara, far away from these people.
But unexpectedly, the little cub stopped herself, turned to Jordan Hawthorne, and with big watery eyes free from fear, spoke clearly in her childlike voice, "Daddy can become someone else’s father, can Zara... also acknowledge someone else as dad?"
Just moments ago, Jordan Hawthorne was angry, but hearing his daughter’s words, his expression suddenly froze, and he looked at his daughter in disbelief.
What did she just say?
She wants to acknowledge someone else as her father?
Jordan Hawthorne’s face turned grim again.
Sabrina Hayes was also a bit shocked.
She didn’t expect her daughter to say such words.
The little cub’s eyes were red, and with a stubborn expression, she said, "Daddy doesn’t like Zara, hates Zara, always bullies Mommy...
You only like Sonny and this bad auntie. When Zara is sick, they call Zara a fool, and Daddy would protect them."
Tears sparkled in Zara’s eyes as she sobbed, "Zara can paint and will become very good at it; Zara will protect Mommy. Zara doesn’t need a daddy..."
Listening to the little cub’s cries, Sabrina Hayes felt an intense pain as if her heart was being crushed.
In her marriage to Jordan Hawthorne, she always tried to avoid quarrels with him when Zara was around.
But Jordan Hawthorne never considered these things.
At that time, Zara’s autism was severe.
She thought that the little girl wouldn’t take those quarrels to heart; she wouldn’t remember...
But in reality, the child’s heart was all too clear.
Now she’s actively saying she doesn’t need a dad, which shows how disappointed she is with Jordan Hawthorne.
Sabrina Hayes was heartbroken too, feeling the air here was suffocating.
She couldn’t stay any longer and swiftly picked up Zara to leave.
She feared the little cub’s mood fluctuations would be influenced by them again.
Jasper Fitzgerald saw this and hurriedly followed them.
Jordan Hawthorne stood behind, watching them leave, lacking the courage to chase after them, his body couldn’t help but sway...
He never particularly liked Zara, his daughter, and indeed this was true.
However, even if he didn’t like her, he was confident that Zara bore his blood.
No matter how he treated the child, he believed she wouldn’t become distant or estranged from him.
But until now, Jordan Hawthorne realized he was wrong.
Zara’s recent declaration had caused him intense backlash.
The crying childlike voice, with endless grievance, was something he had never seen before.
She said she doesn’t need a dad anymore... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
For the first time, Jordan Hawthorne felt as if his heart was being ripped apart, aching terribly.
