My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 395

Looking at Tammy who opened the door for her, Florence knew that Tammy must have got permission from Stanford and then get the key.

Without a pause, Florence rushed out in a hurry.

She wanted to find Ernest to see him as soon as possible.

When she rushed to the living room in front, she was stopped by Stanford.

Her brother's tall and strong figure blocked her way like a mountain. “Where are you going?”

“I was locked up for a whole afternoon. I want to have a walk,” Florence made an excuse at random as perfunctory to him. She was quite upset that Stanford had locked her up, so she didn’t show any friendliness to him.

Noticing that Florence disliked him, Stanford felt that his heart was tightened, a bit upset.

It seemed that he had offended his younger sister.

Immediately, his tone became more tender and he said like coaxing her, “Flory, I didn’t mean to lock you up. Please don’t be so mad at me.”

Florence pressed her lips and didn’t speak.

She wasn’t pissed. She just wasn’t happy or in the mood to talk to him.

Stanford was a bit helpless. He continued, “Dinner is ready. Let’s have dinner first. Dad and Mom are waiting for you.”

Florence wasn’t in the mood to have dinner at all. Besides, Stanford didn’t agree that she could go out. She couldn’t help being anxious.

Shaking her head, she said, “I’m not hungry yet. Please go ahead with your dinner. I want to have a walk outside.”

After finishing her words, Florence bypassed Stanford and wanted to go out.

Stanford, however, acted faster. He grabbed her wrist to stop her.

“Flory, you should have dinner even if you are not hungry. Health always comes first. By the way, we have a guest today. As the hostess, you should meet him as well.”

Florence frowned. She had been lying prone on the window the whole afternoon today. She had only seen Benjamin come in without leaving. Of course, she had known who the so-called guest was.

She didn’t like Benjamin much now, and she even hated him. If it weren’t that Benjamin came here after Ernest, Ernest and she wouldn’t have to face the obstruction and dilemma now.

Florence refused immediately, “I don’t want to meet him.”

Stanford felt helpless. “But... he’s at the dining table now...” Should they send Benjamin away and ask him to have dinner in the kitchen?

Stanford thought it worked.

The sister-addicted man was about to do so, but he heard Florence continue, “I don’t have any appetite in an outsider’s presence. I’ll skip dinner tonight.”

As she spoke, she shook off Stanford’s hand. She wondered if she could succeed by running out at a speed when running the 100m race.

Right then, three figures walked over from the direction of the dining room.

A man’s friendly and gentle voice was heard. “I’m sorry for visiting you so suddenly. Please excuse me, Flory. If you are not used to it, I will not have dinner with you on the same table.”

He was so gentlemanly that Florence felt she was way too willful and didn’t save the guest’s dignity.

But she had never expected that they would come over at this moment.

Florence stiffed. She forced a polite smile at the mouth corners. “Mr. Turner, please stop saying that. I didn’t mean anything. I just wanted to skip dinner and made an excuse to my brother at random.”

“It turns out to be this way. Flory, you didn’t feel bothered by my sudden visit, then. I’m glad.”

Florence was speechless. She was just being polite and considering his dignity. Look how he had flattered himself!

She disgusted so much about his sudden visit.
