My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 702

Florence was depressed, but she understood that she was in a very awkward situation now, and she was not qualified to raise any objection.

The woman shouted discontentedly, "Hurry to eat. Don't think you have the equal position as men do when you can eat on the table."

Florence knew the woman was envious and felt disgust for her.

Florence's mouth twitched. The woman didn't treat her as a human. The traditional thinking must have deeply rooted in her mind. What a poor woman!

But Florence felt pitiful for her two daughters.

She ignored the woman, sat down at the table, and began to eat.

No matter how much they envied her, Florence just wanted to fill her belly.

She was enjoying the food when the curtain was pulled back from the outside.

In came a man whom she had not expected, and whom she did not like.

Florence stopped eating so suddenly that a lump of meat stuck in her throat that she couldn't swallow nor could she get out.

The man who came here was the man who flirted with her at the door!

He glanced at the restaurant and fell on Florence, looking aggressive.

Florence immediately felt a chill on her back.

What did the shameless man come here for?

She felt nervous and wanted to drive him away.

At this moment, three women and two young boys hurried to stood up.

The woman bowed respectfully and said with great sincerity and courtesy, "Greetings. Your Grace."

Your Grace?

Florence's eyes widened and she felt choked all the more.

Although she was not clear about the status and rank of the country, she knew that someone like Duke must be in a high position.

Did she offend someone she couldn't afford to offend?

Florence was a little panicked.

The woman was very polite to the man and asked respectfully, "Is there anything Duke needs to do in our humble abode?"

Now that Andrew was away, she had to treat the Duke with great respect.

The man's eyes fell on the woman.

With a haughty smile on his lips, he said proudly, "I come to propose a marriage."

"Propose a marriage?"

The woman was surprised, as if she had been struck by great luck. Her lips were like chrysanthemum as a bright smile lit up her face.

Although Andrew was in a high position, he was still not on the same level as Duke.

Women had low status. The woman had never thought that her daughter could catch Duke's fancy.

Hearing that, Bonnie was a little overwhelmed.

She looked at the Lord with her twinkling eyes an felt brushed. She could not conceal her excitement and joy.

Duke was not only in a noble status, but also handsome!

He had always been regarded as the most handsome man in Raflad, and had dazzled countless women. She was one of the women who were addicted to his charm.

Unexpectedly, she could be so lucky to get the appreciation of Duke and became his bride.

Then she could look at the handsome man every day! How happy she would be!

Bonnie was so excited she wanted to go with him at once, but at last she kept her emotions tightly reined in, and she nudged the stunned woman from behind.

"Mom, Duke is waiting for your answer."

The woman came back to her sense and said, "Oh, I'm so happy that I almost forgot my manners. It would be my honor that Duke could take fancy on my daughter. Of course I'll agree the marriage."

The woman pushed Bonnie forward. "Duke can take Bonnie home tonight, and from now on, our families will be related by marriage."
