My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 604

"Rubbish! Can't even pick up a person at a critical time like this!"

Stanford threw a kick on Addison.

Addison clutched his calf, moaned in pain while stepping backwards, he looked at Stanford in surprise and grief.

It wasn't his fault that Florence refused to go.

Despite feeling unfair, he didn't express but asked weakly, "Well, let me try then?"

Try meant no guarantee.

If Phoebe refused to come back, travelling back and forth like this wasted another day, meaning she suffered one more day.

Stanford's blood was boiling at this point.

He looked at the back of Ernest and Florence who were disappearing in annoyance.

"Dates before mates."

Since when did his sister turn into someone like that?

Stanford frowned. He wanted to walk away like Florence did and let Addison went to fetch her.

But he couldn't walk away. He was worried.

Those three words kept repeating in his mind.

Addison was amazed by Stanford's indecisive look. He had never seen him in hesitation before, he was quick and decisive, it never took him more than three minutes for a decision.

But now…

Addison stood a few meters from Stanford, he looked at him and asked curiously. "Mr. Fraser, why won't you want to pick up Ms. Jenkins?"

"I need to go home and report something!" Stanford replied.

Addison doubted, he didn't believe at all.

Stanford's face turned dark, his anxiety shown through his eyes.

He was delighted knowing they located Phoebe and was eager to go fetch her, he wanted to make sure she was safe and alright.

But his second reaction was, avoiding.

What he said the other day drove Phoebe away. He was the one saying that he didn't want to see her for the rest of his life, guessed Phoebe didn't want to see him either now.

Phoebe might refuse to come home even if he went.

That was why he asked Florence to go, the best candidate to bring her back, but Florence… prioritized dates before mates.

Stanford was annoyed and in dilemma.

He didn’t know how to face Phoebe if he went.

But he had no other choice now…

Although he wanted to avoid this, he was a responsible man, he promised to keep Phoebe safe, so he couldn’t leave her alone there.

Stanford took a deep breath and strode towards the helicopter.

Addison followed immediately. He hesitated and asked, “Mr. Fraser, where are we heading to?”

Stanford boarded the helicopter, stared only in one direction and uttered, “Seaside City.”

He was worried still.

Addison let out a sigh of relief seeing Stanford had finally decided to go. He then ordered the captain, “Depart now to Seaside City.”
