My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 171

In the study room…

Ernest had to deal with his work, so he walked into the study as usual.

But today, there seemed to be something different in the study.

He looked sideways and saw a petite figure wearing a blue dress standing in front of the bookshelf . She was wobbling in the ladder and was struggling to reach the books above.

Ernest was familiar with this dress. It was one of Florence favorite dress.

He frowned instantly and hurried to her side.

“Why did you come over here by yourself?”

It looked like the woman on the ladder was startled when she heard his voice. She suddenly slipped and fell from the ladder.

Ernest’s eyebrows rose instantly, “Be careful!”

He rushed over and caught her before she fell to the ground.

The woman’s delicate body fell into his arms, accompanied with a faint sweet smell of fragrance.

The unfamiliar scent made Ernest’s brow wrinkled instantly, “Why are you wearing perfume…”

Before he finished his words, he stopped.

Only then he looked at the woman in his arms, the eyes and brows that this woman had do not belong to Florence, but Charlotte.

Charlotte looked shocked and she held onto Ernest’s neck in fear. Her face looked so scared and timid, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.

Her voice was even sweeter and shier, “Ernest, thank you for saving me. I was nearly scared to death, well…”

As she was saying this, her eyes reddened, like she was going to cry.

Her watery eyes made her looked even more pitiful.

But Ernest’s face was only left with sullenness and coldness.

As soon as he threw her on the sofa, he stepped away from her, he instantly pulled away the distance between them.

Later, he took off his jacket and threw it away. Then, he took a wet paper towel and wiped his hands thoroughly. He acted like he had touched something dirty just now.

Charlotte was lying on the sofa. She was stunned when she saw Ernest’s action. Her aggrieved and pitiful expression eventually stiffened and her red cheeks turned pale.

She put great efforts to plan to act a drama of falling into Ernest’s arms. However, she finally got close to him, but she still didn’t get the chance to do something with him…

He actually threw her. By the look on his face, he seemed to be disgusted when he touched her, like he touched a dirty trash.

Charlotte felt extremely ashamed. Her tears literally fell down because of embarrassment.

“Ernest, are you that disgusted when you touched me?”

Ernest threw away the wet tissue. When he looked at Charlotte again, his eyes were filled with coldness, “Get out.”

Those icy words were said without a trace of emotions.

Charlotte reluctantly wiped away her tears, “Ernest…”

“You are not allowed to enter the study ever again.” He said coldly and walked out of the study.

He didn’t take a look at Charlotte at all.

He was a man that wouldn’t get close to women. Moreover, he hated to have physical contact with these women. He mistakenly thought that it was Florence just now, so he accidentally hugged Charlotte. But the touch she left on his arm, and the sweet perfume smell made him feel unbearable.

Sure enough, only hugging Florence could make him feel most comfortable.

Ernest walked out of the study, then his voice of instructing Timothy sounded.

“Bring all the documents to the garden, I will go to the garden to do my work.”

Hearing these words, more tears fell from Charlotte’s eyes.

She looked straight at the direction of the door, she felt painful and unwilling to accept the fact.

It was her first time to bear such humiliation.

She took the initiative to get close to him by throwing herself into his arms. However, she was abandoned and disgusted like a virus that everyone hates.

Was there really no way for her to get this man?

Right at this moment, a man was standing and peeping by the study window.

It was Collin.
