My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 198

It was dark when they arrived at the Hawkins' Mansion and it was right time for dinner.

There were a number of delicious and fragrant dishes on the table.

Georgia was still amiable and showed her favor towards Florence as usual when she saw her. After exchanging greetings, she held up Florence’s hand and led her to the table. She specially asked Florence to sit beside her.

And Ernest sat down on the other side of Florence’s seat.

As it was a family feast, there was no outsider here. And Ernest’s aunt, Brianna was sitting beside Georgia.

Georgia gazed at Florence grandmotherly and asked with concern, “Flory, have you fully recovered? Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?”

“Nope. I feel good. Thank you, grandma.”

Florence gave her a sincere smile when she felt the concern from this senior.

She was driven out of the Fraser family by Charlotte before and she hadn’t seen her foster parents since then. Maybe she would not have the chance to enjoy the concern from her parents.

Florence felt upset when she thought of this.

Georgia didn’t notice the change of Florence’s expressions. She held up Florence’s hand and patted it, and then said amiably, “That’s good. As you were injured before, the feast was cancelled and we didn’t decide on your wedding date. But I still asked someone to choose three propitious dates for wedding. Since you’re here tonight, choose one by yourself and give the final word for your wedding date.”

Wedding date?

Florence stiffened and subconsciously took a glance at Ernest.

He asked her to come to the mansion to have dinner with his grandma, but he didn’t tell her that this grandma had other intentions!

Noticing Florence’s inquiring gaze, Ernest pressed his thin lips together. There was no expressional change on his face as he didn’t show any disapproval of it.

It seemed like he had known this before.

Florence twitched her mouth. As expected, it was intentional.

But since she was now at the table and Georgia had come up with it, could she deny it?

But neither could she agree with it!

Florence was in a mess and didn’t know how to react at the moment.

Georgia waved her hand and ordered the butler to bring three sheets of papers here. There was a date for the wedding on each paper.

Georgia unfolded the papers and showed them to Florence. She then gazed at her with inquiring eyes.

“Flory, which date do you prefer?”

Florence took a glance at the dates on the papers and felt bitter. Could she say that she didn’t like them?

The soonest date was after one month, and the latest date was still within three months.

She could tell from them that Ernest’s grandma urgently wanted to hold the wedding ceremony for them.

Meeting Georgia’s anticipating eyes in the air, Florence felt very guilty. She couldn’t tell how she felt at the moment.

She didn’t want to get married, nor did she want to disappoint Georgia.

Florence was in a dilemma. She dragged Ernest’s sleeve under the table and then turned her head to tip Ernest a wink while whispering, “Ernest, say something.”

Please, find an excuse to decline your grandma!

Ernest pressed his lips together and glanced at Florence meaningfully, “The three dates are good. As for me, I think the wedding can be held half a month later.”

Florence, who was grabbing Ernest’s sleeve, tightened the grip.

What the hell was he talking about?

She hinted him to find an excuse to postpone it!

Georgia nodded in satisfaction when she heard Ernest’s reply, “The date half a month later is really good, and the preparations for the wedding are supposed to be accomplished by that time. We can absolutely hold the wedding on that date. Then we’ll decide it…”

“Wait a minute.”

Seeing that Ernest’s grandma was going to set tone for it, Florence interrupted her in a panic.

Georgia looked towards Florence confusedly, “Flory, what’s the matter?”

“Hmm… I… I…”
