My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 143

Could it be that as she had been betrayed by Grayson, she was habitually suspicious of all men and thought that a rich man with good marriage conditions like him would treat on her in the end?

She really didn’t know him well. Were he and Grayson of the same kind of people?

Ernest was a little upset and even had the impulse to find out Grayson out and give him a hard clout.

Seeing Ernest's sullen and gloomy face, Florence subconsciously felt a little bit guilty. Fearing that he would suddenly get angry or do other things to her, she subconsciously wanted to distance herself away from him in case that he would vent his anger on her.

Florence planned to go out. But just as she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Anthony standing at the door.

He stood at the door straightly and it looked like that he had stood there for a long while.

Florence was a bit stunned and asked without a second thought, "Mr. Brooks, how long have you been here?"

Being discovered, a touch of awkwardness flashed across Anthony's face.

He replied solemnly, "Not so long. But I witness the whole process of Mr. Hawkins’ proposal and knew that he was refused again."

Florence was rendered speechless.

Ernest's face instantly became even gloomier.

During the past 20 more years, he had never failed to get what he wanted and had achieved all his goals. However, he experienced failure for the first time because he had put great efforts in preparing the proposal but Florence refused him in the end.

Nevertheless, he had shown great resilience in the face of these obstacles recently, and had been rejected by Florence several times.

He almost accustomed to it.

Even the anger and depression that surged in his heart after being rejected for the first time didn’t show up again...

The atmosphere became embarrassing. Anthony touched his nose and said, "Ahem, today's press conference has come to a successful conclusion, so I prepared a celebration banquet which will be held in the evening. It’s almost the time and we should go there."

"Oh, okay."

Florence quickly agreed as it was really a bit awkward for her to stay here now.

So she took the lead to go out.

Ernest's expression was so hideous. He shot a cold glance at Anthony and then walked out.

Anthony felt his heart missing one beat and his back broke out in cold sweats when he realized that he seemed to have offended Ernest just now.

Although Ernest was his brother, Anthony knew deep down that Ernest was mean and his way of doing things was quite inhumane. So Ernest would definitely find a chance to retaliate against him later.

Since that was the case…

Anthony hurriedly walked to Ernest's side and whispered, “I agree with you. Florence has no reasons to reject you. She may have already fallen for you, but she doesn’t dare to accept it at present. It’s probably because you are too noble. When a man was too outstanding, a woman will fear that she cannot handle with him. Moreover, the social morality in this aspect is poor as many dudes often hook up with several women at the same time and marital infidelity is so normal.”

So he would not be accepted by Florence simply because of his family background and social status?

Ernest's face became more hideous and his gaze towards Anthony turned exceptionally cold.

“You’d better shut up.”

Anthony was rendered speechless. He analyzed the situation for him out of kindness, but why Ernest felt offended again?

It was really hard to be a kind man nowadays, and it was even harder to be a thoughtful brother.

But if things continued to progress like this, Ernest would definitely take revenge on him in the future. Therefore, Anthony braced himself under Ernest’s cold gaze and continued, “Ernest, the old saying goes like this: the onlookers see the most of the game. Moreover, I relatively have abundant experience in the romance. If you want to win Florence’s heart, you have to change yourself.”

Ernest curled his lips into a straight line and said nothing.

Anthony immediately continued, "You have to humble yourself and try to be an ordinary person. You can do something romantic that ordinary couple always does during a date, like watching movies, shopping, and going to the amusement park… Something like these. You should make Florence feel that although you have a high social status, you’re still an ordinary man.”

Ernest's eyes lit up.

Watching movie? What he watched had always been the fluctuations in the stock market.
