My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 354

Was it a sense of reliance? Whatever Florence had done last night did indeed shake Ernest up from within. He even started to doubt what he was doing.

However, after she became sober, her attitude finally extinguished all rays of hope still lingering in his heart feebly.

“She was drunk. Can’t take her seriously while she’s like that.”

Ernest’s baritone sounded. It sounded like he was either replying to Timothy or just telling himself that.

Everything that had happened last night was like a ridiculous dream.

Timothy frowned, “But…”

“She already has a boyfriend.”

Ernest cut him off curtly, and his eyes took on a menacing glow. However, underneath that facade, all that he was feeling was a melancholic sensation.

He wouldn’t force her to go according to his will. If he were to let go of her, then she would really be free.

Timothy watched Ernest’s distant yet lonely back, and he could only let out a sigh.

Florence only came back to her senses a little after Ernest was gone.

In the room, Ernest’s scent was still lingering in between the sheets. However, the source of that sensation was all but gone, like the wind.

Everything that was left behind in this room would only aggravate Florence’s pain and suffering.

She took in a deep breath, and it felt like she needed a lot to push back that overwhelming emotion churning inside her. She then headed to the bathroom to wash up.

The moment she entered the bathroom, she saw that suit which was now in the trash can.

There was a visible stain on that suit.

It was her work from last night.

Florence felt her temples jolt, and she only started to feel fear now at the fact that she had vomited all over Ernest. It was a miracle that she was still alive after that ordeal.

And when memories about her feigning ignorance in the bathroom last night came rushing back, Florence felt herself engulfed in more and more intense embarrassment.

Even though she had gone all out and feigned ignorance, Ernest still didn’t do anything to her in the end. Not even a single punishment. He even cared for her the whole night. In fact, he treated her… with the utmost care.

Too bad that it was most probably the last time something like that was going to happen.

Florence felt her eyes sting and became red. Only she herself knew very well how unwilling she was to give up on him.

In the end, no matter how good Ernest’s intentions were, a lie was still a lie. Nothing could change the fact that she was used. He was never that caring and loving about her in the first place.

After washing up, Florence planned to make a call to Stanford to send a set of clothing over, but she chanced upon a brand new set of clothes in the living room.

It was left there by Ernest for her.

He was as meticulous and attention to detail as expected.

Florence sank into a trance as her eyes couldn’t move away from the clothes. Finally, she picked up her phone and said, “Hey, I was too drunk since last night and I was in a hotel now. My clothes were dirtied. Can you send over a new set here?”

Stanford personally brought a new set of clothes and hurried over in just a while.

After entering the room, he marched towards Florence and placed his hand on her shoulder. He was studying her thoroughly.

It was then that he noticed a kiss imprint on Florence’s neck.

Almost instantly, his expression changed. His face was so dark that it was terrifying, and his sharp gaze was dripped in murderous intent.

“Who was it?”

“What?”

Florence took a minute to reach to his words, and immediately her face blushed. She hastily covered her neck with her hand.

“It—It’s nothing. I want to get a change.”

She took over the clothes and was about to flee, but she was pulled back by Stanford.

“Tell me. Who was it last night?” He was going to kill that bastard who had laid his hands on his sister.
