My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 118

She pondered for a while and then looked at Ernest tentatively, asking, “Mr. Hawkins, shall we call for a takeout?”

Ernest’s eyes were tinged with amusement. However, when he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

Who came to find him at this time? What an annoying third wheel!

Ernest exuded coldness all around.

Seeing that Ernest was still sitting there showing no intention to open the door, Florence could only stand to her feet and walk towards the door.

The moment she opened the door, she heard Gemma’s voice with worries in it.

“Ernest, are you alright?”

The moment Gemma finished her words, she saw Florence. She was apparently petrified.

Florence was also stunned when seeing Gemma. She felt a gush of uneasiness.

After a short while of awkwardness, Gemma broke the silence with a smile, “Oh, Flory, you’re also here.”

“Yeah.” Florence replied in a low voice and took several steps backward to give way for Gemma.

Holding a meal box, Gemma asked in a low voice worriedly, “Ernest got injured. So I come to visit him.”

“He’s in the dining room.” Florence tried her best to maintain her composure and replied in a clam voice.

But her mind was in turmoil. She couldn’t explain how it felt like. It was reasonable for Ernest to tell his girlfriend first after being injured.

This was good. Since Gemma was here, she could take care of Ernest and then Florence herself could leave.

Florence followed Gemma to the dining room, intending to tell Ernest that she would leave.

Gemma walked into the dining room. When seeing Ernest’s hand that had been bandaged, she felt very distressed for him.

She walked to Ernest and asked with concern, “Ernest, is it serious? Are you alright?”

Ernest looked at Gemma coldly. He didn’t answer her question; instead, he questioned in an unpleasant tone, “How do you know that I was injured?”

After getting injured in the restaurant, he directly came back to the villa with Florence and hadn’t told anyone about this. Neither had he met anyone else.

A touch of guilty flashed across Gemma’s eyes. But she reacted quickly and said, “I went to KK Restaurant just now and I heard about this from a manager. You also know that the managers there all knew about our relationship. He asked me about your situation and told me that they were really guilty.”

Ernest originally didn’t intend to blame the restaurant; after all, it was Florence who took care of him after his injury.

But now… His expression became cold, “No need to feel guilty. The restaurant and that waitress will disappear from City N tomorrow.”

Gemma’s face turned pale. Although Ernest was mentioning about the disposition of the restaurant, she knew woefully after getting alone with him for many years that Ernest was dissatisfied with her bothering.

Gemma felt very upset and tried hard to suppress her emotions, pretending that she didn’t know what Ernest was talking about.

She opened the meal box with a smile, “Ernest, I know that you must have not had too much food, so I specially took away the dishes you like.”

As she was speaking, she put the meal box in front of Ernest and took a glance at the noodles on the table.

“I remember that you don’t like noodles.”

Florence was stunned. Ernest didn’t like noodles?

She finally realized why Ernest had a weird expression when she told her that she could cook noodles for him.

But why didn’t he tell her about this? She could cook other dishes.

However, when she saw the dishes in the meal box, which were all pleasant in color and aroma, she dropped the idea. The dish she cooked was by no means a match for these delicious foods that Gemma brought.

Ernest looked up at Florence and said meaningfully in a low voice, “My taste changes.”
