My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 697

Ernest rubbed her hair. Suddenly, his handsome face approached her.

He spoke while exhaling hot air into her ear, “I like it when you are jealous.”

Then she heard his delightful laughter.

It was like an electric current, which shocked her heart directly.

Florence’s heart skipped a beat and hammered. She couldn’t help blushing.

Feeling annoyed and shy, she pushed him away, “I’m not talking to you about this. Don’t try to distract my attention!”

She wondered if he was seducing her with his beauty so she could forget this matter.

She wouldn’t let him succeed.

Ernest was forced to take a step back. Instead of becoming angry, he looked at Florence tenderly.

He explained patiently, “Magnolia Liliiflora is also an important treasure in Raflad. If we want to get it, we must use some tricks. I’m an outsider, and I can’t get in touch with the upper-class level. Andrew recommended me to the palace and I’m applying for the position of the diplomat. However, some accident happened during the process.”

“What kind of accident?” Florence asked immediately.

Upon hearing her question, Ernest creased his brows. His face became darkened.

After several seconds, he squeezed a few words between his teeth in a solemn tone, “The princess has a crush on me.”

Florence’s mouth corners twitched.

Sure enough, the man’s handsome face attracted the princess.

She felt quite uneasy. Right now, Ernest needed to work in the palace and apply for the diplomat position. The princess was a superior icon in the palace. Probably he would be threatened. Before achieving his goal, he wouldn’t offend the princess easily.

Besides, it seemed that the princess was quite short-tempered. Florence wondered if she would force Ernest to sleep with her.

“Don’t look at me like this. I promise nothing would go wrong between her and me.”

Ernest’s temples popped. His tone was quite affirmative.

The current situation was pretty tough indeed, but he would never do anything to betray Florence.

Of course, Florence trusted Ernest. However, this situation made her feel so depressed and uneasy.

She was quite clear that one must adjust himself to the actual situation when in another person’s territory.

Even Ernest didn’t have the intention, but the princess had a crush on him, she would take the initiative and make requirements. For keeping the relationship on the surface, Ernest had to connive her and force himself.

For example, even he was unwilling, he had to go to the palace and have lunch with the princess.

For example, Ernest and she were lovers, but they could only claim that they were brother and sister.

She wondered how much on earth had Ernest paid and done without her knowledge.

“Ms. Fraser, please don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between Mr. Hawkins and the princess.”

The door curtain was pulled open from the outside. Andrew rushed in.

He knew that Florence and Ernest needed a private conversation just now, so he took other people away from the dining room and avoid others from overhearing their conversation. He was also guarding at the door.

Then he overheard the private talk between them.

Worried that Florence might have misunderstood Ernest, he hesitated for a while and decided to come in to help Ernest explain.

“I’m the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but I don’t have as many rights as the princess has. That day, the princess fell in love with Mr. Hawkins at first sight, so she appointed him to be her husband. Mr. Hawkins immediately refused.

“However, the princess didn’t give up. She said she would chase after Mr. Hawkins. I should have informed her that Mr. Hawkins has you, Ms. Fraser.
