My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 394

“Knock. Knock. Knock.”

Right then, Florence heard a slight knock on the door. This was the first response she received after yelling for such a long time.

In a surprise, she immediately asked, “Who is it? Please open the door for me. Let me out!”

“Little Miss, I’m Tammy. Please lower your voice. I came here secretly without noticing the young master.”

She heard Tammy’s deliberately lowered voice from the outside.

Florence’s mouth corners twitched. She felt so helpless. Stanford had gone too far. He didn’t only lock her up but also gave commands to the servants and maids.

“Tammy, do you have the key? Hurry up and open the door, please,” Florence lowered her voice as well and asked anxiously.

“Little Miss, I’m sorry but the key was taken away by Young Master. I don’t have any duplicates. I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

The delight in Florence’s eyes immediately faded away.

Tammy didn’t have the key, and Florence couldn’t go out. They couldn’t do anything.

Tammy continued, “Little Miss, I don’t know what has happened, but that handsome gentleman was leaving. If you go upstairs, you could see him set off.”

Was Ernest leaving?

Florence’s mind went blank. Without thinking twice, she rushed upstairs to the second floor.

The window of her second-floor was facing the front yard. When she stood in front of the window, she could see everything there.

Sure enough, she had seen Ernest walking out of the house and stepping outside.

He was truly leaving, wasn’t he?

Florence felt that her heart hopped up into her throat. She yelled anxiously, “Ernest! Ernest!”

Although she could see the front yard, it was way too far away from her bedroom. Her voice disappeared in the wind.

Ernest didn’t hear her or look back.

Watching his receding figure, Florence felt heartbreaking, panicked, and aggrieved. She was so upset that tears welled up in her eyes to make her sight blurred.

It was so hard for her to finally know that Ernest loved her and could be with him. Unexpectedly, they encountered such a matter.

She just wanted to fall in love with a man. Why was it so difficult?

Florence watched Ernest walk out of the house sadly and reluctantly. Shortly, he would disappear from her sight. Suddenly, she saw him pause.

In front of him, Benjamin walked to him.

Although she was far away from them, Florence could sense the atmosphere that suddenly became stressful, seemingly she could smell the gunpowder.

Ernest stood upright, stared at Benjamin coldly and indifferent, his eyes flashing with a threatening look.

Benjamin stopped three steps away from him, his face with a warm and gentle smile.

“Uncle Ernest, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect we could meet here.”

Ernest snorted. “Are you here waiting for me purposely?”

Although his purpose was to expose, Benjamin didn’t look embarrassed. Instead, he smiled.

“Uncle Ernest, you are quite wise.”

Looking at Ernest, he lowered his voice and said, “In that case, I’ll stop beating around the forest. Uncle Ernest, as you know, Flory and I have the infant matrimony since we were born. In the past years, I didn’t get married just for keeping this engagement.

“Now, Flory has come back. She should marry me. Uncle Ernest, the marriage between Flory and me is right and proper. You are an elder of our family. Why don’t just help us?”

Let Florence marry him and help them?
