My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 173

Dumbfounded, Charlotte looked at Florence. She rarely saw Florence with such a cold and rigid attitude.

And it was on this kind of matter.

Charlotte’s soft expression on her face slightly changed. Her attitude became a bit more rigid.

“Florence, you can’t just send me away like this as a matter of course. I come here is to be my Ernest’s guest. These few days, his afternoon tea is all delivered by me. If I suddenly leave, who will make these for him?”

“When you didn’t come, he didn’t lack afternoon tea either.”

Florence directly refuted Charlotte’s words.

Now, she even slightly regretted it. If she had not allowed Charlotte to deliver afternoon tea for Ernest, the matter in the video would not have happened.

She did not know if Ernest was angry. If he was infuriated, it would be disastrous as the Fraser family might be embroiled.

Florence was thinking of the safety of the family members but Charlotte was becoming more and more discontent and hateful towards Florence.

She could see that Florence wanted to drive her away.

“I won’t leave anyway. Only Ernest can let me leave.”

Charlotte looked a little angry. She stood up and walked out.

“Charlotte!”

Florence called her in chagrin but what she got as a response was just a heavy slamming sound of the door.

It seemed that Charlotte was not going to obey her.

Vexed, Florence pressed her temple and thought for a while. She decided to discuss this with Ernest.

If Ernest was the one who sent Charlotte away, Charlotte would have no excuse anymore, right? This would also stop Charlotte to have special thoughts on Ernest…

Basically, Ernest had to do time management to deal with his work and therefore, the time he spent on work was almost about the same every day.

But today, he returned to the room much later than usual.

Florence looked at him and asked with concern, “Is there a lot of works today?”

Ernest’s eyes flashed with darkness. He strode towards Florence’s bedside.

“I’m just running into a small trouble.”

His tone was very casual and he managed to easily downplay the trouble.

However, Florence could vaguely guess something.

Regarding the work matters, Ernest would not need to spend much time unless they were particularly urgent but generally, this kind of matter was rarely encountered.

And today, the scene that Charlotte took the initiative to approach and embrace Ernest…

This surprisingly let Ernest who was a neat freak feel annoyed. Perhaps after leaving from the study, Ernest had gone to take a shower.

And this was probably the reason for the delay.

Thinking about Charlotte’s actions, Florence also felt a little embarrassed when facing Ernest.

She hesitated for a while and said, “Mr. Hawkins, I have something to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

Ernest raised his eyes to look at Florence.

Florence thought for a while and said, “Charlotte has been here for a long time and it’s time for her to go home. So, I intend to send her away.”

Ernest’s eyebrows twitched slightly and he looked at Florence thoughtfully, “Who do you suddenly have this thought?”

During this period, Charlotte had always been staying here but Florence had never mentioned this matter.

On top of that, Florence also felt that it would be awkward for her to be alone with him here so she earnestly wished that Charlotte could always stay here to accompany her until she left.

But now, Florence suddenly mentioned this matter. Could it be that Florence knew about what happened in the afternoon?

Ernest’s sharp gaze made Florence felt slightly diffident. But, after all, Charlotte was her sister so she could not tell Ernest the truth as this would cause Charlotte to lose face and Ernest would also feel embarrassed.

Hence, Florence simply used a reason, “It’s because my mother misses her. After all, Charlotte is studying and it’s rare that she’ll come back once. She finally has a long holiday now and my mother also starts nagging about it.”

This was indeed a reason.
