My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 90

After a moment of silence, Ernest said perfunctorily, “I have my own way to deal with this.”

Sensing Ernest had no intention to open up to her, Florence gloomily drank up the wine in her glass in one gulp.

She then looked at Ernest with an uneasy gaze, “Then how long will it be until we can call it off?”

Ernest frowned. Her eager attitude ignited a flame of frustration in his heart.

He didn’t reply and continued to sip his wine with a gloomy face.

There was another awkward silence in the room at the moment.

The corner of Florence’s lips twitched. Why was it so tiring for her to talk with Ernest?

He kept evading her questions.

She started to lose patience and said in a dim voice, “I just wanted to know a rough timing or a plan, so I know what’s going to happen. Or else I’ll always feel awkward around Gemma.”

She was now like a half-assed third wheel, a super awkward role to be in.

Ernest twitched his brow, “What about her?”

Florence stared at him. Was he trying to act dumb with her?

Well, she was just an outsider after all.

Soothing her emotions, Florence said casually, “I can see what’s going on between you and Gemma.” After a short pause, she added, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about it.”

Ernest stared back at her with mixed feelings.

What could possibly go on between him and Gemma? Yet she said it with such steadfastness.

He pursed his lips and leaned towards Florence.

In a low and ambiguous voice, he said, “Are you jealous?”

She stunned and couldn’t help but blush looking at the man who approached her.

She hurriedly moved backwards, “Mr. Hawkins, you’re thinking too much.”

Ernest didn’t let her go with it. He continued to approach her with his stout figure and pinched her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

“You’re my fiancée, Florence. It’s okay to feel jealous.”

His charming yet seducing voice was like some form of suggestion, making her heart throb.

Florence’s heartbeat escalated involuntarily. She blushed again.

Was he flirting with her?

But he already had Gemma, and they were having an intimate moment in the office just now.

How shameless.

Florence glared at Ernest. In her eyes, he was now a playboy who just couldn’t get enough of girls.

She abruptly stood up from the sofa and gave him a long gaze. Then she turned around and left.

Ernest sat up straight in the sofa, puzzled by her reaction.

What was wrong with her?

…

If she couldn’t find out how and when Ernest was going to call off the marriage, this was going to take forever.

The only thing Florence could do now was to put this aside for the moment and focus on her job.

With Anthony baking her up, everything was going smoothly. Once everything was in place and the time had come, she would soon be on the designer stage again and be a renowned designer.

The day would come soon.

After a few days, Florence submitted her latest design proposal to Ernest for approval.
