My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 832

When Florence saw Kieran leave, she walked towards Phoebe hurriedly and looked at her worriedly.

“Phoebe, are you alright? Did he bully you?”

“I’m fine. Your brother just came in time.”

Phoebe shook her head as she looked at Stanford with her eyes flashing.

The words that were said by him just now kept coming across her mind.

Stanford noticed that Phoebe was gazing at him. He showed an uneasy expression on his handsome face.

He said in a deep voice.

“Don’t misunderstand. I said those words to infuriate Kieran just now.”

Phoebe was dumbfounded for a while.

Stanford continued to explain, “I have made some research on dealing with others. Kieran isn’t going to hand out Cocos. We aren’t clear with his background and it seems that he won’t be easily exposed. So, the fastest way is to provoke him, forcing him to take action.”

“When he assigns a large number of people to take action, he will be easily exposed at that moment.”

So, he was just pretending to like and pursue her. Nevertheless, he just wanted to make a reasonable show of stealing Kieran’s loved one.

This was to infuriate Kieran so that he would take action towards Ernest and Stanford by all means.

“Oh, I get it…”

Phoebe murmured softly while blinking her eyes. However, her heart was somehow overwhelmed with emptiness.

Stanford gently held Phoebe’s hand and asked doubtfully.

“Phoebe, what did you say?”

Phoebe regained her sense and shook her head hurriedly, “Nothing. I didn’t say anything.”

“Don’t be angry. I didn’t know that they arranged in this way. It seems my brother was targeting Kieran purposely in the entire party.”

It made sense after linking up all the previous doubts from her explanation.

In fact, Stanford wanted to be her companion just now. Besides, he stopped the dance just to let her come and receive the gift in such a high-profile way. Furthermore, he told Kieran that he loved her just now.

The purpose behind them was to infuriate Kieran so that he would take action.

However, her heart was already pounding rapidly just because of his few fake words. Moreover, she even thought too much and anticipated that this was the reality.

It was really silly and shameful.

Phoebe shook her head in a panic and asked while pretending to be calm.

“Kieran is just a playboy. He won’t like me as he is just interested and making fun of me. Although he is angry today, still he will be stressed in facing Mr. Hawkins.”

“How do you guys make sure that he will definitely take action?”

People who were a bit more cautious would not act impetuously after considering the benefits and losses.

Stanford looked at Phoebe and explained patiently.

“For a man, stealing his woman is not a matter of whether he likes her. But, it’s a matter of a man must uphold his dignity or rather being humiliated.”

Kieran was the one who could not withstand this kind of humiliation.

So, he would definitely come to win Phoebe’s heart by all means.

Phoebe looked at Stanford in a daze as this was the first time that she had heard such a remark and it was said by him.

Stealing his woman did not mean that he liked her, but rather the concern was just to uphold his dignity so that he was not humiliated?

Did all the men have the same perspective like this?

Her eyes flashed as she blurted involuntarily, “Then do you think like that too?”

Phoebe immediately regretted it after saying that. She wanted to bite off her tongue.

She wondered why should she ask him this kind of question as it was really awkward.

She heard Stanford’s clear voice when she was about to tell him to forget about it as she just asked blindly.
