My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 249

Seeing Florence and upon hearing Reynold’s words, Annabelle immediately took Florence as her rival in love by instinct.

She looked at Florence in hatred. “Are you Reynold’s new girlfriend?”

Florence was taken aback, knowing that Annabelle had misunderstood their relationship.

She hurriedly explained, “Not really. I’m just... his acquaintance.”

“Really?”

Annabelle obviously didn’t believe at all, looking at Florence up and down sharply again and again.

Under her gaze, Florence felt so uneasy and depressed. She was just shopping here and eavesdropped a gossip, but she was so misunderstood by Annabelle.

She didn’t want this to happen at all.

Florence didn’t want to get involved any longer. Nodding to emphasize, she wanted to make an excuse and leave.

Much to her surprise, Reynold said, “Flory, just ignore her. We’re not even acquaintances. I don’t know her at all.”

His words clearly differed his relationship with Florence from that with Annabelle.

Annabelle, who thought of herself as his girlfriend, couldn’t help blushing and paling from time to time, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Just now, when Reynold wanted to get rid of her, he was still looking at her and talking to her. Since Florence had shown up, Reynold completely ignored her.

His attention was fully focused on Florence only.

The emotion twinkling in his blue eyes was full of enthusiastic affection. Annabelle was a sensitive woman, so she could see it immediately.

Reynold had a crush on Florence.

It was an affection that from a man to a woman and from the bottom of his heart. Annabelle had never seen such a gaze on Reynold before.

Long ago, Annabelle had heard that Reynold was a well-known playboy and had a lot of girlfriends, but he never settled down. He was one of the top playboys in Riverside City.

It was not difficult for a woman to climb into his bed, but nobody could stay in his bed all through these years.

Annabelle had a crush on Reynold and also had her intention -- with her good-looking face and hot shape, she wanted to fight for a chance to become his girlfriend shamelessly.

However, she hadn’t succeeded yet, but Florence appeared.

What shocked her more was that she witnessed how differently Reynold treated Florence. And he liked Florence so much.

It turned out that Reynold wasn’t a heartless man. He could fall in love with someone as well.

Annabelle also knew that for a man like Reynold, as soon as he fell in love with someone, he would be quite serious. In that case, other women would lose their hopes, including herself of course.

Without the hope, Annabelle looked like a spiritless flower without any energy.

Florence watched the change of Annabelle’s emotion, from her reluctant affection to the disappointing abandonment.

It was all because that Reynold said they were not even acquaintances.

Upon hearing such words, any woman would give up in embarrassment, would she?

Florence couldn’t help feeling sorry for Annabelle.

Annabelle didn’t have a good taste in man, and she fell in love with the wrong person.

“I’m sorry. I acted too recklessly,” Annabelle suddenly apologized.

Looking at Florence with emotional eyes, she said, “Miss, please don’t mind my rudeness. Mr. Myron and I truly don’t know each other. I’ve just asked too much.”

Florence gaped at her, wondering why Annabelle would suddenly make an apology to her.

What was Annabelle doing?

Before Florence could figure out what was going on, Annabelle lowered her head and strode away in her high-heels.

She walked quite fast without any hesitation.
