My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 191

Florence felt inexplicably relieved when she learned about the truth. It was like the heavy stone that had been hanging on her was removed and she was finally relaxed.

Ernest, who had been fixing his eyes on Florence, noticed the slight change of her expressions and her relaxed look.

It seemed like she felt quite delighted when she learned that he and Gemma were not in a romantic relationship.

Ernest felt a bit touched. He then leaned towards Florence.

He said in a sexy deep voice, “Florence, you’ve been alienating me. Is it because you mistook my relationship with Gemma?”

Florence subconsciously nodded her head as it was true.

Ernest pressed his lips together and then curled them into a charming smile.

He then asked, “You refused my proposal before. Is it because you don’t want to be a mistress?”

She indeed didn’t want to be a home-wrecker, nor could she accept herself being a victim of the covenant marriage. So what Ernest said was true again.

Florence nodded again.

Ernest’s mood seemed to be enhanced. He then asked in a lower voice with a rarely seen touch of nervousness and anticipation in it, “There obstacles have vanished now. Will you reconsider marrying me?”

Since the premise was different, it was reasonable that she should reconsider it.

Florence nodded. When she looked up, she found that Ernest was quite close to her and there was a charming smile on his face. He was damn handsome at the moment.

They were so close and Florence felt flustered.

She suddenly realized something. Reconsidering marry him? When she reconsidered it, it meant that she would probably accept his proposal.

She was not thinking of this.

Florence shook her head and stammered, “I… I… I didn’t mean that.”

“Then what do you mean?” Ernest looked into Florence’s eyes and asked.

His gaze was unfathomable and burning and it was like he was actually gazing at her soul.

Florence lost her presence was mind. Her heartbeat accelerated and she was totally in a muddle-headed state.

She thought that Gemma was Ernest’s girlfriend before and thought that the reason why Ernest wanted to marry her was to cover up his relationship with Gemma and to deceive her to surrogate for them.

Absolutely, this was a kind of humiliation for Florence which meant that she had to sacrifice her happiness. So she never had the idea to accept him.

But now, when she learned that Gemma was not Ernest’s girlfriend and the surrogacy was all fake, she pondered why Ernest would propose to her.

Looking at the man who was so close to her, Florence felt bewildered. Her mind was occupied by various thoughts, but she didn’t dare to think over them or to guess it.

Nor did she dare to answer Ernest’s question.

Trying to avoid this topic, Florence stood on her feet and intended to leave, but Ernest did not give her the opportunity.

He grabbed her arm and pressed her down on the sofa.

He was tall and strong and his shadow shrouded her.

Ernest fixated his gaze on Florence and said in a charming deep voice, “Florence, are you willing to marry me now?”

Ernest proposed to her again. It was abrupt yet reasonable.

Florence stared at him dully, her heart beating so quickly as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

This was quite different from the proposal in the garden of the villa. Although that proposal was elaborately prepared and romantic, which showed that Ernest cared about it a lot, Florence thought that he had other purposes and was not moved. She only felt sad and reluctant at that time.
