My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 593

Stanford saw Florence eyeing him, and could not help but keep his mouth shut.

His sister was so protective towards Ernest, if Stanford dared to ask him to leave immediately, he would be hated to death by his sister.

Moreover, Ernest was the one who saved Florence’s life. No matter how unhappy he was, he still could not bring himself to do something so dishonourable to someone who saved his sister.

Ernest put down his chopsticks and said in a cold tone.

“Since you saved Flory, I am obliged to look after you until your wounds are healed. After that, I will personally send you back to the Turner Family.”

The last few words of his sentence were said one by one, almost as Stanford forced himself to spit out those words. His attitude was firm.

It basically meant that when Ernest recovered from his wounds, he will be sent back to the Turner Family, with no chance that he will remain at the Fraser Family.

If he could not stay at the Fraser Family, it also meant that there will be no chances between Florence and him.

Florence did not expect Stanford’s attitude to be so steadfast when he spoke.

She thought that his attitude towards Ernest would soften after the incident.

However, it was clear that he was still against the both of them being together.

Florence began to panic and felt anxious. She instinctively clenched her fingers.

Ernest was holding her hand when she did that, he opened his large hand and interlocked her fingers.

He lowered his head and looked at her with eyes full of warmth and kindness. His gaze was like a hot spring that calmed Florence’s heart.

Ernest comforted her before shifting his gaze to face Stanford.

He presented a smile, his attitude unchanged.

“Mr. Fraser, I hope that you will agree to me being together with Florence this time.”

He went straight to the point.

Stanford’s gaze became still. He glared at Ernest and said.

“What if I do not agree?”

“I will do my best to convince you.”

Ernest replied with a steadfast tone, as if it was the only way.

As he witnessed Ernest’s ‘I am in control of everything’ attitude, Stanford felt unhappy. He admired Ernest’s guts and temperament, but he was unhappy that the woman that Ernest wanted was his sister.

He said coldly, “Ernest Hawkins, if you think that since you risked your life to safe Florence, you would be welcomed into the Fraser Family as her husband, I regret to inform you that you are severely mistaken. The Fraser Family can and will compensate you for your troubles as best as we can. However, Florence’s marriage is definitely out of the question.”

Florence frowned and was visibly angry. The way Stanford worded his sentence made it sound like Ernest had ulterior motives in mind when he saved her.

She yelled out, “Stanford, how could you say something like that? Ernest risked his life to save me, but he did not safe me so that he could marry me.”

“If he wasn’t trying to marry you, he wouldn’t have requested to be with you together, would he?” said Stanford in a very cold tone.

Florence was at a loss for words.

What kind of bullshit reasoning is this!?

Stanford was very obviously messing with wordplay right then.

Florence’s temper was absolutely through the roof while Ernest was still calm as usual, his tone still characteristically elegant.

He said, “Never once did I think that I deserve a reward or gratitude for saving Florence. She’s my woman, and protecting her is my duty for life.”

Every single word in that sentence was filled with confidence and determination.
