My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 79

Nicholas and Melissa took a glance at each other and felt relieved.

Then, they enthusiastically entertained Ernest. They had some conversations with him, and time passed by so quickly.

Florence sat next to Ernest and looked at him in doubt from time to time. She wondered what was wrong with him tonight that he unexpectedly came to her house and chatted with her adoptive parents.

Based on her understanding towards Ernest, he had never been so idle and approachable.

As it reached half past nine, Ernest muttered slowly, “Uncle, Aunty, I should return now.”

“You seldom come here, stay a little longer.”

Melissa asked him to stay.

Ernest politely replied, “Well, it’s getting late. I’ll visit you again next time.”

“I’ll send you off then.”

Nicholas stood up and walked out with a smile. He glanced at Florence, “Let’s send Ernest off together.”

After having a conversation all night, Ernest and Nicholas had become so close that he addressed Ernest by his name.

Florence forced a smile on her face. As Ernest got up, she followed him towards the door.

As soon as they reached the door, a few drops of rain fell on their faces.

“It’s raining?”

Nicholas looked out and frowned as he saw the rain.

Bang! At this moment, a lightning flashed in the sky, producing a loud rumbling.

“Crack.”

The rain suddenly became heavier, and it seemed like it would turn into a rainstorm.

“Why is the rain suddenly so heavy? It would be dangerous to drive on the road.”

Melissa frowned in worry.

Ernest’s tone was calm, “No worries, I’ll drive slowly.”

“That’s not fine at all. How do we explain to Mrs. Hawkins if something happens to you on the way back?”

Melissa shook her head in disapproval and looked at Nicholas, who was also in a dilemma. She said, “How about you stay here for the night and return after the rain has stopped tomorrow?”

“Mom, I don’t think this is a good idea.”

Florence quickly said that. There were only three bedrooms in her house. One for her adoptive parents, one for her sister who was studying in university, and the other was hers. There was no room left for Ernest to sleep in.

Also, Ernest was a picky man that had high requirements for living environment.

“You two are a couple. What’s wrong with that?”

Melissa immediately refuted Florence’s words.

Florence coughed. She didn’t know how to explain to her mother, so she looked at Ernest.

He wouldn’t want to stay over at her house, right?

As if they were thinking alike, Ernest looked at Florence at the same time. His eyes were so deep that she couldn’t predict his emotions.

He lowered his voice, “Well, I’ll be in your care then.”

Was he going to stay over?

Florence looked at him in dismay as she thought she might have heard wrongly.

Ernest was so wicked tonight that everything he did was out of her expectations.

Ernest stayed over at her house. Because of their intimate relationship, he would be staying in Florence’s room, while Florence would sleep in her sister’s room.

Charlotte currently lived in her hostel and she wouldn’t be coming back tonight. Hence, Florence would still be sleeping alone in a different room.

But...

Florence watched Ernest’s tall body standing in her room, and she felt indescribably weird.

She thought about how Ernest would be using her toiletries and sleeping in her room...

Her cheeks blushed as she murmured, “Mr. Hawkins, I will be staying next door. Call me if you need anything.”

“Anything?”
