My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 245

Hesitating for a while, she finally sat on another couch, reached out to the paper bag, and opened it.

As soon as she saw the neatly placed books in there, she was completely startled.

Weren’t those the books that she was reading in the afternoon? She had planned to continue reading them tomorrow morning, but much to her surprise, Ernest took them to her.

“We’re not supposed to borrow the books from the mini-library, are we?”

Ernest took a sip of the wine and answered flatly, “I’m the CEO.”

All the books in there belonged to him. If he really wanted to take out any of them, who could stop him?

Florence was rendered speechless. His words indeed made sense. If the rich acted willfully, she couldn’t retort at all.

However, he had the heart to deliver all the books to her and this made Florence moved.

She recalled that he was reading one of them in the afternoon.

Being polite, she asked, “Don’t you want to finish reading that one?”

Ernest answered calmly, “I’ve finished reading it already.”

Florence was so surprised at his speed. In the mini-library, she had only finished half of her book. His book and hers were referencing each other and he stopped at almost the same part when she stopped. However, during dinner time, Ernest had finished reading it already. How could it be possible?

Florence thought that he must have lied to her to unease her.

Upon realizing it, Florence became more embarrassed.

“I’ll finish reading them as fast as I can.”

As she spoke, Florence browsed the books in the paper bag. Sure enough, besides the book that Ernest was reading earlier, there was the book that she was reading in the afternoon.

Those two books were supplemental to each other. It would be appropriate to read them both together.

“How about you read this book first? After I finish reading mine, I’ll exchange it with you.”

In that case, she wouldn’t waste much of his time. After Ernest had finished reading his current book and then read the other one, it would be easy for him to understand all the points.

Ernest looked at Florence, still remaining seated elegantly. He didn’t take the book.

“I can wait for you to finish.”

His tone was calm, just like the sound of the brook running through the valley. The syllables fell on her heart one by one.

Although he said he would wait for her to finish reading, his implication was more than that as if he would be waiting for her instead, which made her heart hammer.

Florence felt so uneasy. She looked away to dodge Ernest’s eyes.

“Thank you. I’ll send them to you after finishing reading them.”

“Okay.”

Ernest nodded without speaking anything else.

He naturally put down the goblet, stood up, and walked out of her suite gracefully.

Florence also stood up politely. Watching the man’s decisive figure, she felt waves of fluctuation in her heart. She couldn’t return to her senses after a long time.

It turned out that he truly just delivered the books to her.

Seemingly he also distanced himself from her purposely. When they were together today, Ernest didn’t do anything to offend her either.

She guessed that he must have agreed to call off their engagement and he had given up the idea to marry her.

She felt relaxed...

After Ernest was gone, Florence took out both books from the paper bag, holding them as if they were her babies. Subconsciously, she looked at the book that Ernest was reading earlier.
