My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 827

The bystanders would often misunderstand Phoebe’s relationship with them. Sometimes they would think that it was a love triangle, sometimes they would think there was still something going on between Phoebe and Kieran.

If this went on, there would be rumours. If Phoebe were to announce her relationship with Collin in the future, she would be criticized.

Some might say that she was two-timing.

He wouldn’t let something like this happen.

Roan thought about it and walked towards the crowd. He saw Collin, he was standing behind Stanford.

Collin looked calm and a bit out of it. Roan felt mad seeing him like that.

His girlfriend was about to get stolen away. Why was he not nervous and trying to win her back?

He was always anxious about these two, yet they would always act like nothing was happening.

Roan stared at Collin and said loudly.

“Collin, what gift did you prepare? I’m very curious.”

Roan decided that no matter what Collin prepared, he would show that he really liked it as if it was the most special gift ever.

He needed to use his status as the one who was celebrating his birthday to take away Stanford’s and Kieran’s spotlight.

The moment he said that everyone focused their attention on Collin. All of them staring blazingly, looking forward as they looked at Collin.

Roan asked him personally, he had to bring something special.

The two in front had presented extraordinary gifts. The gift that Collin prepared had to be mind-blowing.

The crowd were prepared to see the best gift ever.

Collin who was watching on the sidelines tensed up, he was taken aback.

Gift? He didn’t prepare anything!

He was only an extra in this banquet tonight, He just wanted to blend into the crowd, but he never would have thought that Roan would call out his name and ask for a gift.

Everyone was staring at him, but how could he make a gift appear out of nowhere?

Collin looked at Stanford and wanted to ask for help. But before he could send out his message, Stanford glared at him coldly as if he wanted to kill him.

It sent a shiver down Collin’s spine.

He was doomed. It seemed that he offended Stanford.

He would hide his head in a hole if there was one on the floor right now. He wanted to disappear into thin air as if he never came here before tonight.

Roan noticed that Collin wasn’t doing anything, and hence he walked up to him.

He put his hand on Collin’s shoulder and smiled kindly.

“Don’t be nervous, I will like anything you give me.”

Collin was speechless.

Stanford’s glare got even colder.

Collin wanted to cry, he wanted to kneel and beg Roan to let him go. Why didn’t he like Stanford? Stanford was handsome and rich. Why did Roan like him instead?

There would be blood.

Everyone was staring at him and there was nowhere for Collin to hide. He could only bite the bullet and he proceeded to take out a scalpel that he had with him in his pocket.

Roan was speechless.

The crowd was speechless too.

Everyone turned quiet for a brief moment. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at the item Collin was holding in his hand unbelievably.

A scalpel?

It was sharp, but it looked used.

This was the gift he prepared? He was being rather… insincere.

Florence who was watching from the sidelines covered her face. She decided that from today onwards, she would draw a line with Collin and act like she didn’t know him.

He was way too embarrassing.

He could take off his watch and brush it off as a gift. Why did he take out his scalpel?

What use would Roan have for it? To cut apples or bananas?

Good thing he was smart and quick on the uptake. He turned the situation around and gave Collin some face.

But Collin who got some face was going to cry anytime soon. He was tense all over and it felt like his whole body was being poked by needles.

He didn’t have to look, but he already could feel the cold stare coming from Stanford. They were sharp as knives and was about to pierce through his small and weak body.

Kieran was smiling elegantly, but underneath that elegant smile was a nasty hostility.

He glared viciously at Collin, intending to kill him with his eyes.

He was the most aggrieved one tonight.

First, his female companion was stolen away by Stanford and he had to smile and say that he understood. He then took out his precious Blood Jasper stone that he always had with him. He managed to make the wind blow in his favour but then Collin, the bastard, stole his spotlight.

Not only that, he only presented a scalpel and managed to steal his spotlight!

In this banquet, not only did he lost his precious Blood Jasper stone, but he also didn’t profit from anything!

He lost badly!

After the three of them had presented their gift, the other guests’ gifts were not as remarkable.

The gift presenting session soon came to an end.

After that, it was time to dance.

Romantic music started to fill the air.

Young men and women held each other close and danced on the grassy field.

Being the host’s daughter tonight, Phoebe had to dance as well.

And her partner was Stanford.

Phoebe felt nervous and was suffocating. Even though she was standing right in front of Stanford, his face was gloomy, and he had a cold temperament.

She didn’t even dare to get close to him, how could she dance with him?

She was conflicted.
