My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 157

Florence couldn’t fall asleep again after returning to the bedroom. She sat on the bed and felt her mind was in turmoil.

She couldn’t figure out why Ernest was determined to marry her and even rescued her without even caring about his own safety.

Ernest had been treating her well during this period of time and she remembered everything that he had done for her.

She even doubted the authenticity of the thing that Gemma was Ernest’s girlfriend and the reason why Ernest wanted to marry her was that he wanted to take advantage of her to be a surrogate mother for him and Gemma…

Things were totally different from what others had told her and it seemed that what she saw and felt was more plausible.

She always had a feeling that the relationship between Ernest and Gemma was not like what Gemma had told her. But she couldn’t figure out what their true relationship was.

“Click.”

When Florence was lost in her random thoughts, the door was opened from the outside.

Ernest’s tall figure showed up at the door. He gazed at Florence and knitted his brows.

He strode towards her, “Did you have a nightmare?”

Florence was stunned because she really had a nightmare just now.

She recalled that when she woke up last time, Ernest was sitting by the bedside and holding her hand. Could it be that she was having a nightmare at that time and he was consoling her in this manner?

Florence felt more flustered and confused.

She shook her head and said in a gentle voice, “Nope. I woke up naturally.”

Ernest had walked to her bedside and naturally sat down onto the bed.

He bluntly looked at her up and down, still furrowing his brows, “Are you feeling uncomfortable now?” She looked bad right now.

“Nope.” Florence shook her head again. She was quite confused and wanted to ask him some questions, but she didn’t know how to start the topic.

She had not prepared herself for his answer yet.

Ernest’s gaze became gloomy as he keenly sensed that Florence seemed to be in a bad mood.

Nevertheless, it was apparent that she didn’t want to tell him about this.

He didn’t probe into this question, “Harold has arrived. Let him have a checkup for you.”

“Okay.” Florence nodded her head in agreement.

But Ernest didn’t move. He simply gazed at her and his gaze became more and more unfathomable.

Florence was confused, “What’s wrong?”

Ernest pressed his thin lips. There seemed to be a minority of worry and a majority of helplessness in his eyes.

He raised his hand and put it on Florence shoulder and then slowly puller her neckline together and smoothed her clothe.

Florence’s face immediately turned red. She was lying on the bed and hadn’t noticed it just now. She was not properly dressed just now and a large area of her breasts was exposed.

Ernest had seen it.

He even pulled her cloth together in person as he felt it inappropriate.

Florence felt so embarrassed.

But Ernest looked quite calm and said in a low voice, “You can dress improperly, do don’t do it in front of others.”

This was the reason why he would remind her before Harold had come in and pulled her cloth together.

Florence’s heart missed one beat and her face became redder.

What… She could dress improperly in front of him but not in front of others?

She felt more embarrassed when facing him!

Florence didn’t dare to look at him any longer and shifted her gaze towards other place awkwardly.

Ernest then shouted at the person outside the door, “Come in.”

With a clicking sound, Harold opened the door and walked in with a professional medical kit.

With a smile that was always on his handsome face, he greeted Florence, “Oh, Florence, you’ve woken up. How do you feel now? Is any part of your body aching?”
