My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 293

“Flory.” Georgia walked towards her with a kind look. Florence did not expect seeing her there and she quickly stood up, speaking courteously, “Hello granny, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Georgia looked at her and still thought she was likable as usual. She said amiably, “Flory, granny has come here for you. You know, I’ve stayed at home these days and Ernest didn’t come back too. I’m feeling too bored, and I nearly fainted this morning.

The doctor advised me to keep a relaxed mind and spend time with people I want to be with, and the one I want to see is you.” Hearing that she nearly fainted, Florence held her arm with worry and asked with care, “Granny, are you alright now? Please be more careful at normal days.”

“I feel much better now when I see you. Flory, please come back with granny and have a meal with me,” Georgia said with a pitiful tone. She seemed to know Florence would reject and she added, “Granny only has this simple request, could you please accept it?”

Florence felt troubled and she glanced at Phoebe. Phoebe shrugged, indicating she could not do anything about it. After all, as an elder, her wish was really that simple and she also had illness. Florence felt helpless. Thinking that Ernest might not be at home, or else granny would not come looking for her, she finally pursed her lips and agreed. “Alright.”

“Flory, I knew you’re the best kid.” Georgia wore a bright smile and she forgot to take Florence with her as she left. Florence could only wave at Phoebe, saying she was going to be back later and followed Georgia into the car.

At the mansion, due to Georgia’s order, the lunch today was perfect. Florence held Georgia to the dining table. As she extended her hand and was ready to take the bowl to take some soup for her, Georgia said, “Flory, you can put that down first, Ernest’s not coming back yet.”

Ernest is coming back too! Florence’s hand shivered and she nearly dropped the bowl in her hand. “Granny, I…” I think I should leave…Without finishing her words, she heard the old butler’s voice. “Ma’am, Mr. Hawkins has arrived.”

Ernest’s slender and elegant figure showed up in less than half a minute. He still looked handsome and perfect under the bright light and his delicate facial features looked flawless. He was still dignified and charming as usual. Florence’s heart leapt when she saw him. Although they had not seen each other for several days, it felt like they had not seen each other for centuries, and it also felt like they had only met each other one second ago.

Ernest noticed her who was at the dining hall at the same time. She was wearing a pale purple long dress. She had a slim waist and a pretty face which looked utmost nervous. She still managed to attract his attention at first sight as before. Ernest inevitably felt himself pathetic. He initially thought he could forget her after burying himself at work for several days. Yet he had lost his mind by solely seeing her, and he remembered the cruel words she said to him that night.

Because of that, he moved his eyes away after glimpsing at her. He walked towards the dining table and sat down with an aloof look, asking Georgia, “Granny, why didn’t you inform me that we’re going to have a guest earlier?” What he implied was Florence was a guest, an outsider. Florence felt slightly embarrassed when she understood what he said. That was quite barefaced when she came to his house after rejecting him.

She thought hard to find an excuse to leave, but Georgia spoke, “What are you talking about, Ernest! Flory is my granddaughter-in-law, how could she be just a guest!” Georgia sounded a little angry. She held Flory’s hands and let her sat down, saying gently, “Have a seat, Flory.”
