My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 192

Gemma froze. She gazed at Ernest in astonishment as she hadn’t expected that Ernest would show no respect to her.

This happened for the first time over the decades.

Although she was overwhelmed by sadness, she still maintained a magnanimous look. There was a trace of grievance in her watery eyes.

“Ernest, I’m just caring about you.”

Care?

She cared about them a lot and misguided Florence, making her thought that she was Ernest’s girlfriend.

It was just that Ernest didn’t care about Gemma’s attitude before, but since he knew about her feelings and tricks now, he would not allow this to continue.

“I will take care of Florence. It’s enough. And I don’t need the care from the other woman.” He said aloofly and indifferently.

He distanced himself from Gemma and made clear of their relationship with these simple words.

Gemma felt like she was splashed by a basin of water in the world of ice and snow. She felt a gush of chill from her head down the soles of her feet and her heart was clutched by coldness too.

It was hard for her to reach her before. She had many opportunities to get along with him, but she still could not win his heart. But now, the gap between them became huger and it was like she couldn’t get him in the rest of her life.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Gemma stood motionlessly on the spot like a lifeless puppet.

Florence also felt a bit shocked. She was clear about Gemma and Ernest’s past and their relationship. They were not only childhood sweethearts; moreover, Gemma had a car accident because of Ernest. Therefore, Gemma had been a special person for Ernest.

But she hadn’t expected that Ernest would make clear of his relationship with Gemma without hesitation.

Was it because she misunderstood it?

Florence’s heartbeat quickened and some weird emotions emerged in her heart.

As it was Ernest’s birthday party, all the guests came here for Ernest.

Timothy greeted every guest and then walked over and said to Ernest, “Sir, many guests are waiting to have a toast with you. Shall we…”

Timothy looked at Florence hesitantly and then continued, “Shall we come to meet them? Or shall I ask them to come here?”

Ernest didn’t reply. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Florence and asked, “Do you want to meet them?”

Florence was stunned. The one they wanted to meet was Ernest, why did he ask her?

Timothy was a sensible person. He proactively explained to Florence, “Ms. Fraser, you’re Mr. Hawkins’ companion. If you don’t want to meet them, sir will not meet them either. Although it’s a bit impolite if the host doesn’t greet the guests on his birthday party, sir will not disobey your will since you’re the one he cares the most.”

Florence praised Timothy’s capability in her mind when she heard the words.

He was indeed Mr. Hawkins’ best assistant and he was so eloquent.

Although he was asking Florence to make the choice, he told her all the disadvantages and emphasized that she was the person that Ernest cared the most and all the guests from the upper-class of City N were not comparable to her.

Nevertheless, even if Florence knew that this was Timothy’s trick, she still felt warm.

Ernest respected her will a lot, and it would be inappropriate if she refused to meet those guests.

She looked towards Ernest, “Mr. Hawkins, let’s go to toast the guests.”

“Okay.”

Ernest fixed his eyes on Florence. His unfathomable eyes were so charming and they were like two vortexes that were about to suck her soul in.

Florence’s heart missed one beat and then throbbed wildly.

She dodged his lines of sights and hurriedly stood up, “Then… Let’s go.”

Ernest also stood up. When he stood beside Florence, he was like a tall mountain that could shelter Florence from all storms, which gave her a sense of security.
