My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 97

Just as he finished saying that, a man’s voice sounded from the front yard.

“Collin, the three sets of bed you ordered have arrived.”

With the two beds that were already in the house, they now can have one room and one bed apiece.

He really took consideration into arranging this.

Ernest’s face went dim and he glimpsed at Collin coldly.

He felt that something wasn’t right.

He grabbed Florence’s hand and dragged her aside.

Looking into her eyes, he warned, “There’s something wrong with this Collin guy. You locked the door at night and don’t come out. Call me if there’s anything.”

Paused for a moment, he added, “If you’re worried, I can stay here with you.”

Florence looked at Ernest with confusion. Wasn’t him the one being worried here?

She nodded, “I won’t come out at night.”

Gemma clenched her fists while suppressing her boiling rage and jealousy.

She was the one who came here for a check-up, but Ernest almost never paid attention to her and only cared about Florence.

Florence was just a mediocre woman who was inferior to her in any aspect. How did she get Ernest’s affection just after a one-night stand?

Grievance and jealousy were rooting in her heart.

Collin looked at the whispering duo and shifted her gaze at Gemma, who’s face had already gone twisted. A hint of smirk emerged at the corner of his lips.

Ernest sent Florence into her room and only left after he made sure she locked the door.

Florence didn’t plan to do anything for the night and stayed in the room obediently.

Just as she was about to fell asleep, her phone rang.

It was Gemma.

Why did she call her when she lived just next to her room?

Nonetheless, Florence picked the phone up, “Hello?”

“Flory, I need your help. Can you come down to the yard?”

Florence hesitated, “It’s not very convenient because I had already changed into my pyjamas. Can you just tell me in the phone?”

“No, it’s something embarrassing that I’m not willing to talk over the phone. Just come down, Flory.”

Gemma said in a pleading tone.

Florence looked at the time and saw it wasn’t too late yet. She gave it some thoughts and agreed.

She changed her clothes and went down. She saw two people standing in the living room just when she was about to went down the stairs.

It was Gemma and Ernest.

She was confused. Why would Gemma be with Ernest after she asked her to come down?

Did she want to clear things up among the three of them?

Thinking about this possibility, Florence’s heartbeat accelerated. Tension was building up in her heart.

“Ernest, you’re going to tell Florence about this sooner or later, right?”

Gemma said in a soft flirty voice.

Florence’s heart throbbed. So they were really going to tell her about calling off the marriage? Or did Ernest want to confess to her about his relationship with Gemma?

Ernest said in a dim voice, “I’ll handle this my way.”

“I believe in you. You will take good care of this.”

Gemma gave Ernest a long look and took a few steps towards him.

They seemed ambiguous since they were closer to each other now.

Gemma looked at him with teary eyes, “Ernest, you gave me another chance to be a mother…”
