My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 73

Not wanting to look any further, she withdrew her eyes from the two men and walked to the dessert area, choosing a random dessert to eat.

As the saying goes, what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve for.

She had an idle moment choosing the dessert when she heard two women not far away discussing in a low voice.

“Mr. Hawkins and Miss Marlon really look good together.”

“Of course, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts and were a loving couple that everyone envies. Unfortunately, they have to separate now.”

“Why?”

“I’ll tell you a secret, you don’t tell others, okay? It is said that, Mrs. Hawkins tried to separate the both of them…”

As she heard this, Florence’s hand shook and the cupcake fell to the ground.

She was stunned as if her heart was hit hard by something.

She never understood why Ernest wanted to fake the engagement with her. Now, she seemed to have understood everything, it was all because of Gemma Marlon…

She looked at the two people dancing in the centre of the ballroom. The two looked well matched, the handsome and the beauty. She realized Ernest’s feelings towards her were obviously different.

Gemma turned out to be the person that Ernest liked.

Now that the real owner was back, she, the impostor, should leave, shouldn’t she?

“What’s wrong?”

Ernest had walked to Florence’s side before she could realize. He saw the cupcake on the floor and then he looked at her dazed look. He was a bit worried.

Gemma came along with him, with her eyes staring straight at Florence.

Just now, the dance was going on smoothly, but when Ernest saw Florence dropped the cake, he immediately stopped the dance.

Florence came back to her senses and saw Ernest standing by her side. Then, she saw Gemma too, standing not far away from them. She subconsciously took a step back.

“Nothing’s wrong.”

“Why did you drop the cake if there’s nothing wrong?”

Ernest spoke in a deep voice; a hint of concern was hidden in his stern tone.

Afterwards, he walked forward; his fair and slender fingers were holding a small cake. He handed it to Florence, “Here, it’s strawberry flavour.”

It was a normal sentence, but it made Gemma extremely shocked.

She was a perspicacious person. How could she not understand what the word’strawberry flavour’ meant? It meant that Ernest was well aware of Florence’s tastes and preferences.

He was such a high-positioned and mighty person, but he could remember such a small thing like which dessert Florence liked.

Looking at the exquisite strawberry cake, Florence had no appetite at all.

She didn’t take it, “I don’t want to eat cakes.”

Ernest looked straight at Florence, feeling that there was something wrong with her, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

He kept quiet for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Are you bored?”

Gemma felt particularly uncomfortable when she saw Ernest treating Florence so patiently.

She was more afraid that if Florence nodded, Ernest would take Florence and leave immediately.

He would definitely do such things if he wanted to.

Gemma immediately came over and looked at Florence dress, she smiled and said, “Flory, your dress is stained, would you like to come with me to the room and clean it?”

Florence looked down and saw her dress was stained by the icing on the cake she dropped.

The dress cost a lot of money. If the stain was there for too long, it may not come off anymore. If so, she would be in trouble.

Florence didn’t think much about it, she said politely to Gemma, “Then please take me to the bathroom and deal with it.”
