My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 271

Then, Florence put on a smile, looking somewhat helpless.

“It seems that your mood is not that bad. You are still joking.”

Before Reynold could express his deep affection, it was already broken by Florence’s smile.

How could she not believe his serious words?

Reynold shook his head in helplessness. “Our cooperation will end in a few days. Will you go back to City N with him together?”

“Yeah,” Florence answered while nodding.

However, she felt a bit uneasy.

In fact, she didn’t want to go back to City N that much. She rushed to escape from there to Riverside City because she was hiding from the matters in City N.

After they went back, she was afraid that she couldn’t delay those matters any longer. She had to continue facing them.

After they went back, she should call off the engagement with Ernest. From then on, they would be strangers with no interactions at all in the future.

At the thought of it, she seemed to be more resistant to going back.

Reynold heard Florence’s confirmation, his eyes darkened.

Frankly speaking, he was the person who wanted Florence to go back to the City N the least. However, she came to town just for the cooperation, so she wouldn’t continue staying in Riverside City forever.

Unless there would be some special reason for her.

Florence felt depressed. She looked up at Reynold, only to find he was quite down as well.

She thought that Reynold had treated her like a friend in the past few weeks. He wouldn’t be happy since she was leaving.

“Mr. Myron, although I’ll go back to City N, I’ll come back to Riverside City for traveling in the future. You can also go to City N. It’s a nice city with delicious food and a lot of places for fun. If you go there, I’ll be your guide and show you around. You’ll definitely have a wonderful time.”

It sounded not bad.

Reynold pressed his lips, putting away his smile. He looked at Florence seriously.

“Flory, after going back to City N, will you marry Ernest Hawkins?”

According to the news that he heard before, the Hawkins family in City N had been preparing for their wedding quite long ago.

Naturally, after Florence and Ernest went back this time, their wedding would be held pretty soon if nothing special would happen. As soon as it was held, they...

Florence was taken aback for a moment as if her heart was stung.

Marring Ernest?

It had never been possible and would never be possible either.

Reynold gazed at Florence, clearing seeing her expression change. She didn’t look so happy or expectant like a bride-to-be.

As a smart guy, Reynold had guessed something.

He said tentatively, “Flory, although we haven’t got along for a long time, I take you as a real friend of mine. If you’ll marry Ernest Hawkins, please do inform me. I’ll give you a perfect wedding gift prepared by myself personally in advance.”

If it would be a gift prepared by Reynold, it wouldn’t be anything ordinary. It shouldn’t only be priceless but also make him put on a lot of effort and time.

However, Florence wouldn’t marry Ernest. The wedding gift would be a waste.

As a friend, Florence wouldn’t let Reynold do such a thing in vain.

Also as a friend, she didn’t want to lie to Reynold and get a fake wish from him, making him disappointed.

After a hesitation, Florence tugged the hemline of her blouse and suppressed the feelings in her heart.

Then she said something that made her quite uncomfortable, “Please no bother. Although I’m engaged to Ernest, it’s not hundred percent certain that we’ll get married.”

Although she didn’t speak so straightforwardly, Reynold understood what she meant immediately.

They were engaged already, but Florence said they might not get married. Connecting to the current circumstance, Reynold knew that most probably that Florence hadn’t planned to marry Ernest for real.

Sure enough, there was something fishy in their engagement just as he had expected.
