My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 366

Gemma knew Ernest’s purpose of coming here -- he came here for Wendell. Although she couldn’t figure out what his purpose was, she knew it was the time for her to behave well.

Instantly, she smiled and said, “Ernest, I’m quite close to Uncle Wendell. Come one. Let me introduce you to him.”

Ernest agreed indifferently without speaking, picking up his glass.

The purpose that he brought Gemma here just because he wanted to know Wendell through her.

Seeing his action, Gemma was overjoyed. It seemed that she was helping him wholeheartedly tonight, Ernest must remember her kindness.

Immediately, she took Ernest’s arm gently and walked with him gracefully to the center of the hall.

“Uncle Wendell, happy birthday,” Gemma walked to Lord Wendell and congratulated him in a sweet tone.

Wendell saw Gemma and smiled dearly at her, his eyes full of surprise.

“Oh, Gemma, it’s you. I haven’t seen you for years. You’re so grown up and beautiful. I’m stunned! I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

Gemma blushed slightly. “Thank you, Uncle Wendell. You are way too exaggerated.”

“Uncle Wendell, I want to introduce someone to you,” she added.

Gemma turned to look at Ernest beside her, her eyes full of tenderness.

“Ha-ha... You are shy. I guess he’s your boyfriend, isn’t he?” said Wendell jokingly.

Then he looked towards Ernest. When seeing his face clearly, Wendell was in a daze instantly.

His expression changed dramatically and he asked in shock, “You... Are you...”

Ernest squinted slightly.

He was pretty certain that he hadn’t met Wendell before, but judging from Wendell’s expression, it seemed that Wendell knew him, or perhaps...

“Uncle Wendell, what’s wrong?” Gemma asked curiously after sensing something unusual.

Wendell returned to his senses, but he kept looking at Ernest up and down. After a long while, he asked actively, “My child, what’s your name?”

“Ernest Hawkins,” Ernest uttered his name indifferently.

Wendell was quite unfamiliar with his name, but he knew Ernest’s face from somewhere. He asked again, “Could you please tell me your mother’s name?”

Ernest frowned slightly, feeling quite surprised by Wendell’s question.

His mother passed away when he was quite young. She used to be quite low-key, so even seldom people in City N knew about his mother.

Did this Wendell know his mother?

Ernest’s breath became heavier. He answered in a deep voice, “My mother’s name is Jennifer.”

As soon asWendell heard the name, his expression exchanged dramatically. He looked quite shocked.

“You turned out to be her son. No wonder you look like her so much.”

“Do you know my mother? Were you...”

He wondered if Wendell was his mother’s old friend.

Ernest’s breath tightened. Much to his surprise, he would meet someone who knew his mother and get to know more about her here.

His mother passed away when he was quite young, and he didn’t have much impression of her. Even Georgia was unwilling to tell him anything, so Ernest almost didn’t know anything about his mother.

This was the very first time that he encountered someone who knew his mother.

Lord Wendell nodded, looking at Ernest dearly.

He said in a gentle tone, “I’ve met her before several times. You can say that we were friends. Your mother is an excellent woman. It has always been my pleasure to meet her. However, she just vanished dozens of years ago. Then I haven’t seen her ever since.”
