My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 207

Shortly, the barbecue skewers were ready. The owner placed two places on the table.

“This plate is for you, Miss, spicy. This plate is for you, Mister, not spicy.”

Two plates were put on the table for Florence and Reynold respectively.

Reynold didn’t eat spicy food, but Florence did.

Hence, there were two portions.

Florence looked at the two plates, feeling not quite used to it. It seemed this was the first time she encountered such a situation.

She preferred a completely different flavor from Reynold did.

Reynold, however, was quite relaxed. Elegantly, he picked up a skewer and took a bite.

“Hum, it tastes good. Have a try.”

As he spoke, he picked up a skewer on Florence’s plate and put it next to her mouth.

With such distance, Florence could have a bite as soon as she opened her mouth.

She was a bit taken aback, wondering if Reynold was going to feed her.

Immediately she denied the thought.

Flustered, she hurriedly took the skewer from Reynold’s hand. “Okay, I’ll have a try.”

She maintained a polite smile on her face, but her action distanced her from him a bit.

Reynold slightly frowned, looking at Florence in confusion.

From the daytime till now, the atmosphere between them should be almost simmered. He couldn’t understand why Florence still took a step back at a critical moment.

Perhaps she was shy in public, wasn’t she?

At the thought of the possibility, Reynold looked at her thoughtfully, pressing his lips.

“The original design of KISS is in the villa nearby here. I can take you to have a look. If you like it, I can give it to you as a gift.”

KISS was a famous evening dress designed by Reynold, which was also Florence’s favorite.

Florence looked at Reynold in surprise. “Really? May I?”

“Of course.”

Florence suddenly had lost appetite to eat the barbecue slowly. Quickly, she ate up all the skewers in her plate and wiped her hands, sitting there waiting for Reynold.

She was so eager to take a look at the original design of KISS, but she felt embarrassed to urge Reynold.

Reynold could tell how eager she was. Pressing his lips, he smiled.

He believed that he had given her a reasonable excuse to let her go to his villa, so now she couldn’t hide her intention at all.

Reynold had been involved in Florence’s game for a whole day. For him, tonight was the most important.

They had flirted with each other enough, so it was time for him to draw her in the net now.

He didn’t finish his skewers. Wiping his hands elegantly, he stood up.

“All right. Let’s go home.”

Florence looked at the untouched skewers in his plate and said in embarrassment, “Have you done? I’m not in a hurry. Please take your time.”

Sure enough, she was too obvious, so Reynold stopped eating and accompanied her to leave.

Reynold shook his head. “Nah. I’ve done with eating.”

Reynold insisted, so Florence didn’t speak anything else. She just followed Reynold to walk to his villa nearby.

His villa wasn’t far away from the community park. It took them less than twenty minutes to arrive.

It was a luxurious villa built downtown with a huge area of greens, just like a land of peace in the lively city.

It was a special place with taste.

Florence couldn’t help but admire Reynold more. No wonder he was her idol. He indeed got good taste.

The decoration in Reynold’s villa was pretty nice, high-end, and artistic, with all delicate details.

It was a totally different style from Ernest’s house.

Florence was startled for a moment, wondering why she started thinking about Ernest again. She just escaped from him for only one day, but she couldn’t help thinking about him.
