My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 82

Ernest was sitting behind the desk in the large office and was flipping over a document with his fair and slender finger with a serious and dedicated look.

Florence walked to him lightly, “Mr. Hawkins.”

“Yes.” Ernest replied casually without even looking up from the documents.

Florence hesitated for a while. Thinking that this matter could not be delayed any longer, she braced herself and said, “Mr. Hawkins, the one-month deadline had arrived. Shall we cancel our engagement?”

“Didn’t you say that you want me to have a look at your design plan?” Ernest suddenly raised his head and interrupted Florence in a business tone.

Florence was a bit stunned as it was just a random excuse.

She didn’t give up and continued, “Actually, I come to you for our engagement.”

“Let’s talk about the private affairs later.” Ernest said in dead earnest and lowered his head to glance through the documents again.

He seemed like to be very busy.

Florence instantly felt a bit awkward as she felt as if her visit had bothered Ernest and it was indeed not that good.

So they’d better talk about the matter after getting off work?

She pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “Then Mr. Hawkins, please attend to your business first.”

She walked out of the office after finishing the words.

After Florence’s departure, Ernest immediately put down the document and gazed at the direction of the door thoughtfully with a touch of remorse between his brows.

He deliberately went for a business trip for several days with the purpose to let her forget about the matters related to the cancellation of the engagement. But this woman brought up the cancellation when she met him again.

With a gloomy face, he dialed Harold, “Your method doesn’t work.”

Harold, who was at the other end of the line, immediately had a look of admiration. Florence was really extraordinary – other women were so eager to marry Ernest, but Florence insisted on cancelling their engagement under such circumstances.

Harold said, “They just delay it as longer as possible. Tell her that you’ll arrange it and act normally. Then the time for the cancellation of your engagement is up to you.”

Ernest knitted his brows, thinking that this method is so awful.

When it was time to get off work, Ernest sent Florence a message, asking her to go to the underground parking lot.

As Ernest had been picking her up from work for several days before his business trip, Florence was quite accustomed to it.

As for now, she could take this opportunity to have a private talk with Ernest regarding the cancellation of their engagement.

Florence quickly put her things into her handbag and went to the underground parking lot. She was much eager than she used to be this time.

Earnest, who was sitting in the car, darkened his handsome face when he thought Florence striding over through the car window.

This woman…

He shifted away his gaze and intended to ignore her.

Ernest sat at the driver’s seat.

He had a bad habit that if he was the one to drive the car, he would require Florence to sit at the passenger’s seat and the reason why he did so was that he was not her driver.

Florence seated herself at the passenger seat as usual. Just as she had sat down, the car was started.

Ernest looked straightly at the front and drove the car at an average speed.

Florence stole a glance at him and said tentatively, “Mr. Hawkins, I want to have a talk with you.”

Ernest refused her directly, “I’m driving and I have to be concentrated.”

What he meant was that he didn’t want to talk with her now.

Florence widened her eyes in shock and stared at Florence in a dumbfounded state. He never refused to talk with her when he was driving back then.

Never mind, hunks always had their own quirks.

She might bring up this matter after coming back.

They didn’t talk with each other all the way until they arrived at Ernest’s home.

The moment they opened the door, the kitten excitedly jumped into Florence’s arms and rubbed against her vigorously with its round head.
