My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 507: A Step Further

“Ding Dong…”

“Ding Ding Dong…”

The mobile rang.

Florence was annoyed but let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Everything had finally ended.

He took too long!

She immediately loosened her tiring hand and wanted to move backwards.

But she was pulled back into his arms.

Her blushing cheeks knocked onto his naked chest, she could feel the heat from his skin.

He lowered his head and looked deep into her eyes.

“Florence, I won’t let you go next time.” He said with a seductive tone.

Next time?

Florence puzzled for a while and blushed to realize what he meant.

She was nervously shy and wanted to move away, but he pressed his lips against hers.

His kiss was fierce and seductive. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It made her lost her power to reject and went along with his flow.

This man was her drug, her weak point, irresistible.

Ernest’s mobile was always set in vibration mode, this was the first time Florence heard a ring tone.

Ernest’s desire vanished the moment he heard the tone.

He became alert and serious.

His sudden transformation was like coldness that hit and woke Florence up.

She looked at him worriedly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Please get me my mobile, don’t answer it,” Ernest replied.

Florence saw his serious face and knew immediately it was an important call.

She didn’t delay a second and rushed to get the mobile.

It was only numbers shown on the screen, no name.

Unlike the normal phone number displayed, this one showed only the last four digits which were all nine.

Who was this mysterious caller?

Florence puzzled but didn’t delay her steps back to the washroom.

She bumped into Ernest who was coming out at the door.

He was already fully dressed, his shirt and trousers.

He transformed from a naked man into a well-dressed gentleman in a glimpse of an eye.

Florence stunned. Didn’t he injure his hand? How did he dress up so quickly?

She tapped his injured hand lightly out of concern.

Ernest noticed her concern and said softly, “Dressing up single-handedly is no big deal.”

He said casually.

His casual tone made Florence blushed, she was annoyed. Why did he want her to undress him since he could have done it single-handedly?

It was too embarrassing and intimate.

He did it deliberately!

She wanted to storm out and leave him alone, but looking at the ringing mobile, she stopped.

She gritted her teeth and thought she could wait until he finished answering the phone.

And she handed over the mobile to him.

“Answer it.”

Ernest’s gentle face stiffened the moment he looked at the screen.

He took it and walked towards the window at the same time answered it.

He put the mobile next to his ear but remained silent, not even a hello.

Florence stood where she was and started to worry looking at the man not far away.

This call was not a piece of good news.

The person on the other side spoke for quite some time before Ernest uttered a simple phrase.

“Alright, noted.” And he hung up right after.

He frowned slightly and didn’t look good.

Florence walked towards him and asked worriedly, “What happened?”

Ernest didn’t intend to hide, he said, “It was from grandpa, he summoned me back home.”

“Now?” Florence blurted in surprised.

Her intuition was accurate, the call was bad news, it was from the Turner to take Ernest away from her.

He had only been back for two days! And was leaving again?

Her face saddened, she was not happy.

Ernest didn’t plan to leave this quick, he wanted to stay with Florence for a couple of days more, but grandpa was impatient.

If he got it right, the call from grandpa must be a trick played by Benjamin Turner.

It seemed like Benjamin won’t give up until Collin examined his injuries.

Ernest didn’t show his concern instead he looked at Florence gently and touched her cheek.

“I’ll come back soon after everything is settled.”

His promise always put her at ease, she had faith in him but she felt that it was not going to be easy for Ernest to come back after his departure this time.

She grabbed tightly on his sleeves.

“Can you promise not to cut contact this time? Regardless of how busy you may, text me once a day letting me know that you are safe.”

He gave his mobile to Clarence last time, so their communication was completely cut off.

She was as nervous as cat on hot bricks for few days, waiting for his news every day.

But each wait turned into disappointment.

Ernest looked at Florence worriedly and kissed her on her forehead.

He then answered, “Okay.”

Florence’s worrying heart seemed to have found a harbor.

At least she could now hope for his text.

Ernest looked at Florence again, “Flory, I have to leave tonight.”

Florence’s heart sunken.

She didn’t want him to leave, but answered obediently, “Okay.”

“I need a favor from you.”

“What?” Florence asked eagerly, she liked helping him.

Ernest approached Florence and whispered in her ear.

He then added, “Benjamin is cunning, be careful with him.”

“Yes, I will.”

Florence nodded continuously, she would get things done.

It also meant that she didn’t get to bid him goodbye.

Florence was reluctant to let him go, her eyes were locked dead on him.

Ernest felt it and pulled her back into his arMs. again.

He touched the tip of her nose with his finger.

“Why are you looking at me like I’ll never come back again?”

That was the thing she worried about the most.

Florence bit her lips and stayed quiet, she didn’t want to say something that would worry him.

Ernest continued, “Short term separation is good for lovers, shall we take a step further when I’m back?”

An adult would definitely understand what step he meant.
