My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 416

Looking at Florence’s nervous face, Stanford frowned deeply.

He hesitated for a long while without looking at her.

Then he squeezed a few words, “He shouldn’t have come here.”

Hence, he must leave here.

Florence’s face became pale instantly. Without thinking much, she knew that Stanford must have done something to force Ernest to leave.

She wondered if it had something to do with Ernest’s busy work recently.

“Stanford, what have you done? You can’t hurt him. Or you are hurting me!” said Florence anxiously, her heart hopping into her throat.

This was the Fraser family’s territory. In other words, the whole city was in her family’s control. Ernest had come here from thousands of miles away, and he didn’t have any power here. How could be able to defeat Stanford? Ernest would only suffer loss.

At the thought of the troubles that Ernest might be facing now, Florence was so concerned about him and also blaming herself.

Stanford’s temples popped fiercely. Before, he acted violently and ruthlessly, only concerning about the result without caring about other facts. However, at this moment, he had to explain to his sister.

“I didn’t hurt him,” Stanford said with a migraine, “No matter how much I hate him, I won’t do anything to hurt him. But, Flory, you should stop dreaming of being together with him anymore. You’d better give up as soon as possible.”

After he said seriously, Stanford strode into the house.

The tall man behind him followed in expressionlessly.

Standing at the spot, Florence gazed at Stanford’s receding figure, feeling so uneasy.

Although Stanford denied that he wouldn’t hurt Ernest, he must have done something to the latter, forcing him to leave this city.

Florence was still trapped. If Ernest was gone, where and when could she meet him again?

Thinking of that, she decided to sneak out and look for Ernest.

When there was nobody around her, she wandered around in the yard, without ignoring any single corner. Then she found two or three places less guarded.

One of them was the pond, but she couldn’t swim through, so she didn’t need to consider it.

And the other spot was a wall inside the forest behind a bunch of flowers. The wall was steep and straight, almost three-meter high. Even if Florence could climb up, it would be difficult for her to hop off.

However, this wall was the only place that she could be able to sneak out.

She knew that Ernest also took this place to come in and go out.

However, Florence was curious and wondering how he could hop on and off such a high wall. She couldn’t figure it out.

Since she had made up her mind to sneak out from this spot, Florence sneaked into the warehouse and found a lifting ladder.

Then she asked Tammy to cover for her.

Tammy was frightened. With a worried look, she tried to convince Florence, “Little Miss, you can’t do it. The wall is way too high. It’s quite dangerous. Even if you’ve climbed up, how could you jump down? If you jump down, you’ll get injured easily.”

Florence shook her head determinedly.

“It’s alright. I got a rope, too. I can slide down.”

Tammy was startled at the rope in Florence’s hand. She didn’t expect that Florence was so well-prepared. It seemed that Florence was so determined to sneak out.

“But... if Master and Madam found it...” Tammy felt so guilty.

She had grown up in the Fraser family, so she was used to obeying the master’s and hostess’s orders. She had never wanted to disobey or comply in appearance but oppose in the heart. However, because of Florence, she was going to help Florence escape, disobeying the master’s and hostess’s orders. Tammy felt quite hesitant.

At the thought of it, she felt her heart hammer violently.

Taking Tammy’s hand, Florence said quite determinedly, “Don’t worry, Tammy. You can just help me lead away those bodyguards and then put the ladder against the wall. Then you can leave. It has nothing to do with you at all. If my parents want to punish someone, I’m the only one to be punished.”

Tammy still hesitated. “But, how can I let you be punished alone, Little Miss...”

“It’s alright. Besides, my parents wouldn’t have the heart to do something fierce to me.”
