My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 69

Florence didn’t expect that a conversation about allowance would come to this. She thought to herself and said, “But before I came in earlier, Ernest said he would pay if I lost.”

“Well, that seemed exactly like what he would do.”

Georgia smiled kindly. Then, she glanced at Brianna and gave her a look of reproach, “We could play in peace now with no worries, right?”

Brianna’s expression was a little stiff as she smiled awkwardly.

“I was just concerned about them. After all, Ernest is getting engaged for the first time. I'm worried that he doesn't know how to be nice to a girl.”

“Who knows? Perhaps Ernest knows know to coax a girl better than you do. Don’t you think so, Florence?”

Eunice responded with a smile while looking ambiguously at Florence.

Florence realized it wasn’t a meeting to play mahjong, but instead it was a gossip time for them.

However, she still had to deal with it.

Florence took the mahjong in her hand and replied with a smile, “Well, he’s really nice to me.”

“You’ve been engaged for so long, has he ever taken you out for a trip?”

Brianna asked casually.

Florence replied politely, “We went out for a road trip twice. Once to ML Flower Market, and the other time to the sea.

When Georgia heard her words, she smiled in satisfaction.

Brianna looked at Florence with her sharp eyes, “Ernest had never liked crowded places. ML Flower Market is known to have many tourists there, why did he go there?”

Of course, he went there to choose flowers.

But, Florence couldn’t say it like that. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Maybe it was because I mentioned to him by chance that I liked watching flowers.”

After a slight pause, in order to make her words seemed more realistic, she added, “We spent a day at ML Flower Market. Ernest even ate at a roadside stall, which attracted the attention of many girls there.

“Slam!” Brianna shoved the mahjong in her hand on the table.

She stared at Florence and glowered, “Florence, why are you lying?”

Florence was stunned by her words. She was a little nervous that she might have been exposed. Did they already know beforehand that Ernest went there to choose flowers, and he just took her to the flower market by the way?

Brianna’s tone was stern, “Ernest doesn’t like to eat cumin since young. Most roadside stalls have cumin in the food they make. How could you say that he ate at the roadside stall?

“But, he really did. He ate there with me.”

Florence quickly explained. She didn’t lie about the fact that Ernest ate at the roadside stall.

However, Brianna obviously didn’t believe her.

The other two stared at her silently, as they also felt unimaginable that Ernest would eat at the roadside stall.

Florence felt extremely vexed. She actually planned to say the fact of the matter out so that Mrs. Hawkins could be at ease. Who would have expected that the more she said, the more wrong it became. If that wasn’t unfortunate enough, they even had something on her now.

She thought about it, then she took out her cell phone and opened her gallery.

“I really wasn’t lying. This was a picture that Ernest took of me at ML Flower Market.”

Brianna looked at the picture and taunted her, “It’s just a picture of you alone, how could you proof that Ernest was the one who took the picture? Aren’t you lying since just now? Ernest has never been to ML Flower Market with you at all.”

After that, Brianna made a sharp accusation.

“Florence, Ernest is your fiancée, but you even have to lie about going out on a trip together. Why did you do that?”

Although she was questioning, there were only a few reasons for her aggressiveness.

However, none of it would do Ernest any good.

Florence felt guilty. She hesitated for a while and found another picture. It was a picture that she secretly took of Ernest.

She showed them the picture as her cheeks turned red.

“This is a picture I took for Ernest.”

The two pictures had the same background. It was obvious that they were in the same place.

Brianna was stunned and she didn’t know what to say.

She didn’t expect that Florence would be able to show Ernest’s picture to them. They had such a close relationship that they actually went on a trip to ML Flower Market together.
