My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 108

At the crayfish shop of the night meal restaurant, Florence was holding a red crayfish. She jerked and separated the crayfish’s head from the body. She then crushed its shell brutally and plucked the flesh. Phoebe who was sitting opposite her looked at her with a frightened look. She was only eating crayfish, but it seemed like she was chopping and eating a gigantic meat.

“Flory, what’s wrong? Who’s made you unhappy?” Did she really need to go as far as releasing her anger on the crayfish? “Who else except that jerk? Ernest Hawkins, I only realize he’s actually such a bastard today.” Florence shoved the crayfish flesh into her mouth and bit it hard as if she was biting someone.

Phoebe’s face twitched as she watched her taking another crayfish, pulled the head and tore the shell. “What has he done?” With a crack, Florence directly squeezed and broke the crayfish’s head into pieces. She said indignantly, “Not only that he refused to cancel the marriage with me, he even wanted me to marry him on behalf of Gemma Marlon and become the surrogate mother for their child.”

“What? That’s too ridiculous!” Phoebe slapped the table with rage. “You mustn’t consent to this.”

“Of course I won’t, I only want to cancel the marriage as soon as possible and stay away from them.” Florence then crushed the crayfish’s shell. She had had enough staying between Ernest and Gemma all these time as an awkward third wheel.

Phoebe nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you should cancel the marriage as soon as possible. Didn’t he say the fake engagement only last for a month back then? Now that he had delayed this matter that long, you have to force him to cancel the marriage no matter how this time.”

Cooper came to the crayfish shop to look for Florence, wanting to say goodbye to her before he left, yet he never expected that he would hear such a thing. The engagement between Florence and Ernest was fake? Their engagement was fake?

He was instantly filled with a rush of joy and he was so happy that he jumped without caring for his image. He who had had a leaden heart was instantly brightened up with hope. He rushed over, dragged Florence up from her seat and asked her with excitement, “Is it true? That the engagement between you and Ernest Hawkins is fake?”

Florence was not aware of his sudden action and she was so shocked that the crayfish dropped from her hand onto the ground. She stared at Cooper with a dumbfounded look. Why was he that excited? Or was he angry because she had lied to him back then? Since he had already heard their conversation, Florence could only explain. “It’s true that our engagement is fake, but since it’s meant to be a secret, so I didn’t tell you back then.”

To Cooper, Florence’s words were the most delightful thing he had heard in this world. “Awesome!” He hugged her with surprise and whirled her around with excitement. Florence lost her balance abruptly and she put her hands instinctively on his shoulder, leaving oil stains the size of a palm on his shirt at once. Her face twitched and she quickly spoke, “Let me down, Cooper.”

Cooper only let her down after whirling for a few times. He was reluctant to let go of her when he hugged her but Florence forcibly pulled his arms apart. She plummeted onto the couch and threw the gloves that were full of oil stain away after taking them off. She looked at him with an upset look and asked, “What is wrong with you?” She felt dizzy from the whirl and she was nearly scared to death.

Cooper sat down beside her with a grin. His eyes seemed to fill with stars that appeared at night when he looked at her. “I’m happy.”
