My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 19

In the toilet…

Florence, who was sitting on the lid of a toilet bowl in a cubicle, rubbed her arms from time to time.

It was so chilly in the toilet at night.

“Ahchoo!” Florence sneezed uncontrollably.

She just recovered from the cold but she guessed that she would catch a cold or fever again after being trapped in this toilet for the whole night.

Although Florence felt helpless, she couldn’t find a way to get out of here, so she could just nodded off on the toilet bowl.

Suddenly, there came some slight knocking sounds from the door.

Florence abruptly opened her eyes and hurriedly walked out of the cubicle as she seemed to see the hope.

“Anyone there? I’m trapped inside. Open the door please.”

It seemed that the one outside had heard her words as the knocking sound from the door came to a halt. But at the next moment, the sound became louder. With a loud bang, something at the entrance was thrown away and the door of the toilet was pushed opened.

Florence was ravished with joy. Someone finally came to help her and she didn’t have to be trapped in the toilet tonight.

“Thank you…”

Florence paused as she was stunned when she saw the tall man who was standing at the door.

“Mr. Hawkins?”

Florence hadn’t expected that the one who came to save her was Ernest as she thought it was a security guard who came upstairs to go the rounds.

It seemed that Ernest had been walking in a hurry and his breathing was a bit quick. He hadn’t tapered down his breathing yet.

Ernest landed his gaze on Florence and found that her face that was used to be rosy looked abnormally pale at the moment and she was shivering all over due to coldness.

He narrowed his eyes, took off his suit jacket, walked over and wrapped it around her shoulders.

The warmth from his body was still lingering around the jacket. When it touched her cold skin, Florence suddenly felt the warmth.

She was frozen as she felt very surprised.

When they were having the meeting, he didn’t even cast a glance at him and acted indifferently as if they were just strangers. But why did he treat her in this way now…

Noticing that Florence was frozen on the spot, Ernest asked in a low voice, “Can you walk by yourself?”

“Ye…Yep.”
