My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 450

In Anlero Holiday Manor…

After arriving at the manor, they booked the whole manor and asked those irrelevant customers to leave.

It was the first time for the waiters and waitresses in this manor to serve such distinguished guests, and they were all prudent and carefully.

As Benjamin had required before, the first set of their competition was Blind Hookey.

But Benjamin said, “It’s boring to play normal Blind Hookey, we should play something funny.”

Florence secretly knitted her brows. It was simply a card game, what tricks were Benjamin scheming again?

“Flory likes to play ‘Fight the Landlord’. How’s it? Let’s play this game. The judge will join us. Best-of-three-set.”

Benjamin looked towards Florence gently and affectionately.

It seemed like he was suggesting playing ‘Fight the Landlord’, but in fact he was expressing his affection to Florence. He wanted to play the game that she liked and even though he didn’t know how to play this game, he was willing to learn it for the sake of Florence.

Generally speaking, Florence was supposed to be moved by his sincerity.

But indeed, she furrowed her brows and felt that Benjamin was really boring.

Didn’t he realize that no matter what he did for her and no matter how he did them, she would not have any feelings for him?

The thing happened last night also damaged Stanford’s expression of Benjamin.

Stanford said, “Let’s get started.”

The judge was good at every item and of course he would not have any objection to serve them.

When the judge intended to sit down and join the game, Ernest spoke slowly, “Wait a minute.”

He strode to Florence and slightly lowered his head to look at Florence affectionately.

He curled his lips into a pampering smile, “Now that you like to play this game, I would just regard it a pastime and accompany you to play it. Can you join us?”

Florence was stunned. It was a competition between Ernest and Benjamin, yet he asked her to join this?

Although the game ‘Fight the Landlord’ shall be played by at least three players, if she joined them, she would definitely helped Ernest secretly.

Could it be that Ernest wanted her to help him?

Florence’s eyes lit up when thinking of this. She said smilingly, “All right. I will join you.”

Benjamin’s expression turned gloomy. Of course he knew what Florence was thinking. If she joined them, she would definitely helped Ernest secretly.

In this case, he would have to fight against two persons at the same time and it would be difficult for him to win the game.

Damn it!

Benjamin secretly twisted his fingers. He pressed his thin lips together, yet couldn’t utter any word to refuse this.

At the beginning, he suggested to play ‘Fight the Landlord’ for the sake of Florence, but now Clarence said that it was a pastime activity and invited Florence to join them. Wouldn’t it be a slap on his own face if he refused this?

But Benjamin had no other choice. He forced a smile and said, “This is the best. Flory, come here, let me accompany you.”

His tone of voice gave people a feeling that he specially came here to accompany Florence.

Florence rolled her eyes heavenward in disdain. She didn’t give a glance to Benjamin and directly walked to the table and sat down.

Ernest sat on the left of her and Benjamin on the right.

For the sake of fairness, it was the judge to deal the cards.

Florence was the ‘landlord’ in the first round.

Florence felt a bit confused when she got the cards, “If I lose this round, which of you shall be the winner?”

In this round of the game, Ernest and Benjamin were teammates. Nevertheless, this was a completion was between them to and one of them shall be the winner and the other the loser.

Ernest glanced at Florence and curled his lips into a light smile, “It doesn’t matter. Best-of-three-set.

He meant that they could battle it out in the next two rounds.

And they would still play this round and just regard it to accompany Florence.

Florence felt warm and smiled at Ernest.
