My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 81

Early in the morning, Florence was dragged out of the bed by Melissa even before her alarm clock went off.

She washed herself in a daze, “Mom, what’s going on?”

“What does Ernest like for breakfast?”

Florence cleaned her face and answered casually, “Light dishes and porridge, or milk and salad.”

Melissa looked up and down at Florence, “Why are you so clear of it?”

Florence, who was about to brush her teeth, was froze and blushed in awkwardness.

Fearing that Melissa would think too much about it, Florence randomly found an excuse, “I’m just improvising. Normally people like these two diets.”

“Since you’re just improvising, why did you blush?” Apparently, Melissa was not convinced as she directly exposed Florence’s lie.

Florence’s face became even redder. She shifted to the other topic awkwardly, “It’s late now. If you want to make breakfast, please be quick. Otherwise, I will be late for work.”

“Alas, my daughter is infatuated with a man.” Melissa sighed and then walked towards outside while pretending to be depressed.

Holding the toothbrush at hand, Florence twitched her mouth corners. So what the hell had she done to Ernest?

Florence and Ernest spent the morning under Melissa and Nicholas’ ambiguous gazes.

When they finally finished the breakfast, Florence held up Ernest’s hand and rushed out of the house.

“Mr. Hawkins, I will go to walk.” Florence took a step forward after finishing the words, but was then stopped by Ernest.

“I’ll give you a ride.” He paused and then added, “I promised your mother just now that I will ride you to work and pick you up from work.”

Florence was choked and was lost for words.

Although Ernest was just acting in front of her parents, it felt so real that she had a feeling that she was sold.

With Anthony’s guidance and Shirley’s help, Florence quickly got familiar with her work.

Her work today had been going smoothly and there was no accident during the day.

When she was about to get off the work, she received a WeChat message.

Ernest: [Come to the underground parking lot.]

Staring at the message, Florence was a bit stunned as she recalled what Ernest said in the morning. Did he mean that he will really send her to work and pick her up from the work every day?

But their contract regarding their engagement would terminate three days later. Wasn’t it a wise choice for them to alienate each other and keep distance from each other?

She pondered for a while and then replied: [Mr. Hawkins, please don’t take my parents’ words to your heart. I can come back by subway.]

Ernest: [I will take you to my home.]

He sent the other message after two seconds.

Ernest: [It’s time to feed the cat.]

Florence: [Didn’t I teach you how to feed it yesterday? It’s very easy. Have a try when you come back.]

Ernest: [Do I look like a person who will feed the cat?]

Although these were some simple and emotionless words, Florence could see his temperament and arrogance through the screen.

Florence could even imagine his arrogant expressions indicating that these were what she should do.

She was rendered speechless. Having no choice, she decided to go to Ernest’s home again with a thought that she must let Ernest try to feed the cat by himself.

After all, their relationship would come to an end three days later and they would not contact each other after the cancellation of their marriage. But who would feed the kitten thereafter?

When thinking of this, Gemma’s beautiful face flashed across her mind.

Florence was a bit stunned with a gush of depression flashing across her mind. Yeah, when she left, Gemma would come to Ernest and took her place. She would do what she was doing now and became his fiancée or even wife.

Time flied and three days had past.

It was on weekend when the last day of their contracted relationship fell and Florence and Phoebe went out to have dinner together.
