My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 446

Sensing that Stanford didn’t believe in her words at all, Florence’s face became redder as she was extremely awkward at the moment.

She looked up at her parents and found that they didn’t believe in her words as well.

Under such circumstance, no matter what excuse she found, they would still think that she had a crush on Clarence.

Florence found it hard to vindicate herself.

Phoebe slightly leaned forward to Florence and whisper into her year, “Comparing to tell them that Clarence is pursuing you, it’s better to tell them that you’re pursuing him.”

Better? Florence felt sulky. What a dishonor it was. Rumors would have that she had a crush on Clarence at the first sight and began to pursue him.

How awkward she would be in the face of her parents!

Phoebe said with a smile, “Don’t you want to let your parents to accept your relationship?”

“Of course I want.” Florence replied in a low voice and continued, “But I haven’t expected that it’s by such a means.”

Although she welcomed this result, she felt very embarrassed.

Looking at her daughter’s shyness and embarrassment, Victoria felt a gush of complicated emotions, yet she felt comforted at the same time.

Although she didn’t know well about Clarence and didn’t know whether if he was qualified to be Florence’s husband, she had to admit that Florence fell for him at the first sight and if they established a relationship, maybe it would help Florence to walk out of the shadow of her broken relationship with Ernest.

She could perceive that ever since Clarence came here, Florence’s mood had been dramatically improved.

If this continued, it might be good.

But she must arrange her men to investigate into Clarence’s family background and his quality in detail as soon as possible.

“Flory should accompany you since Mr. Jenkins and Miss Jenkins are our distinguished guests since you are all of the young generation and may have similar preferences. Go out to have fun after finishing the meal. I will arrange a driver for you.” Victoria who was having the breakfast said thoughtfully.

Now that her daughter liked Clarence, naturally she should do something to improve their relationship.

Florence felt happy when she heard the words. Didn’t this mean that she could get alone with Ernest alone outside as much as she liked?

She replied happily without a second thought, “Okay!”

Then her gaze met with Victoria’s smiling eyes in the air. Florence immediately blushed again.

Damn, she acted so anxiously just now, which damaged her image as a lady.

Looking at the shy Florence, Ernest slightly curled his lips into a smile and said to Victoria politely, “Then I have to bother you, Mrs. Fraser.”

“It doesn’t matter. That’s what I should do.”

Victoria shook her head with a smile and felt more and more satisfied with Clarence.

Although Clarence was not as good-looking as Ernest, he was also handsome. And his expressions and gaze made people feel that he was a modest person. He looked easy-going, yet also smart.

Even though he was sitting in front of her, Victoria found it hard to read thorough his mind. But he didn’t look gloomy at all.

A man who had high social status and power could not be too pure, nor could he be too gloomy and evil. It would be the best if he could find a balance between this.

And in Victoria’s eyes, Clarence had managed to do that.

“Mr. Jenkins, when you’re back, please come to my study if you have time. I want to learn something about the local customs and practices of City N.”

There was a gentle smile on Victoria’s face.

To learn about the local customs and practices of City N was just an excuse, and her real purpose was to learn more about Clarence.

Florence immediately felt nervous. Fearing that Victoria might find out something, she spoke without a second thought, “Mom, I grew up in City N and you can directly ask me if you want to learn something about City N. Moreover, Phoebe is also here.”

Looking at the nervous Florence, Victoria sighed in heart.

She and Clarence hadn’t established their relationship, yet she still wanted to protect him. If they fell in love, Florence would definitely be willing to do many things for him.
