My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 295

Confess? Florence felt that to be even more unimaginable. She only spoke with difficulty after a few seconds, “Harold, stop joking with me.”

“How would I dare to joke with you regarding this?” Harold exploded. As what he had expected, having courted her for that long, he had not even given her a simple confession. It was no wonder Florence only wanted to cancel the marriage. Any lady with some pride who had some hope and expectation in their marriage would not sacrifice their life-long happiness for a marriage without love and feelings.

Although Harold felt aggrieved and amused at the same time, he still admired that part of Florence’s personality. At least she did not marry Ernest because of his power. If she did marry him in the future, she must have done it genuinely. Only a marriage which both people loved each other was then a marriage that could bring the most happiness.

Harold tidied up his thought for a while and immediately told her with a serious look, “It’s okay, Florence. Having lived for that long, he’s never liked any girl, not to mention courting someone. Maybe to him, claiming that he wants to marry you is his biggest confession to you. He did like you from the beginning, but he won’t force you to marry you. He wants you to marry him on your own accord, that you truly like him. So he’s actually been waiting for you all these time.”

Harold’s words were exactly unbelievable bedtime stories to her. Yet every word hit her on the heart. Ernest liked her? Ernest really liked her? All these time, the reason every time Ernest said he wanted to marry her was not because of his family’s benefit, not because of his grandma, it was because he only wanted to marry her?

It turned out the thing she had not dared to believe and had found to be unimaginable all the time was all true? Florence’s eyes glazed over into space. Her mind went blank and she was slightly absent-minded. Her heart was racing out of control.

“Florence, if you had actually liked Ernest even just for a bit, you should give both of you a chance, at least have a try?” Harold persuaded with effort. As Ernest’s best friend, it was the first time he saw him liked someone that much. He certainly hoped Ernest could marry Florence, or else, he felt that he would not see Ernest get married until the end of his life. It was a waste to see a brilliant man like Ernest went single all his life.

Florence’s mind was all jumbled up. She could not make her mind clear. Knowing the truth had quite triggered her. It had ruined all the plans she made. Even though she knew she had fallen in love with Ernest, she still cancelled the marriage with determination, and the most important reason was she did not want a marriage deprived of love. Yet Harold now actually told her Ernest had had feelings for her all the time.

She inevitably recalled what Ernest had done for her all these time. She only thought that the reason Ernest specially took care of her was because of their relationship as engaged couple, now that the truth was revealed, she felt everything looked different when she thought back of it.

Everything Ernest did to her had all displayed a man’s affection towards a woman. The details she had not dared to care of back then were all recalled at the moment. She had realized, or should she say confirmed, that Ernest really liked her. Those body contacts, cautious and detailed care, if he did those as a boyfriend, he had done way too much compared to what Grayson did back then.
