My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 515: Teased

Along the way, she racked her brains to think about words to persuade Victoria and Alexander to agree with it.

However, she did not expect the outcome.

When Victoria heard the incident, her first reaction was to approach her with a concerned look and held her hands tightly. Victoria checked her from top to bottom to make sure that she was okay.

“Flory, are you frightened? Have anyone seen anything?”

As her spoke, Victoria’s eyes showed a terrifying and cruel look, “If anyone sees it, I’ll dig out his eyes.”

This statement was not a joke, she would really do so.

Florence was slightly surprised, but she was not scared when she saw the look in Victoria’s eyes. All she felt was warmth from her parents.

Victoria had always been like this. She always prioritized her and protect her unconditionally.

Even with regard to such a big matter related to the relationship between the Turner and Fraser family…

Florence’s eyes were slightly red because she felt a little guilty and apologetic towards her parents.

If she could, she really wished that she didn’t need to lie to Victoria.

Florence shook her head, “No one saw anything, I’m fine. It’s just that I was shocked and a little frightened at that time.”

“Benjamin, that bastard, how dare he did such a frenzy thing to you. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would have killed him.”

“I wouldn’t let him go so easily even though you’re fine. I will call Theodore tomorrow and ask him to give me an explanation!”

Alexander spoke angrily, his expression was very stern.

Florence was the family’s precious little princess. If she was simply molested by other men, they wouldn’t let him go so easily by just giving them an ambiguous excuse.

Florence looked at her own parents in surprise. She did not expect their reaction to be so serious.

Furthermore, she didn’t expect that her parents would not only expel Benjamin from the Fraser family, but they were actually planning to go to the Turner family to ask for an explanation.

Deep in Florence’s heart, she was happy, but she was still a little worried, “Dad, Mom, will this affect the relationship between us and the Turner family? It won’t be good if it will cause any loss of profit to our family. I’m fine, I can forget about this.”

“Don’t worry, our family has a big and strong business. We don’t have to suffer this kind of bully,” said Alexander fiercely. His expression showed how angry he was, as if he would really tear Benjamin apart.

Florence’s heart was constantly touched by her parents’ reactions.

They were her biological parents, who would always be to first one to protect her and love her wholeheartedly.

Florence chatted with her parents for a while. Victoria knew that she was tired already, so she let her go to bed earlier.

With the consent of her parents, Benjamins’ s affairs had a satisfying outcome on how to deal with him and this made Florence felt relieved.

However, she looked towards her own yard and her expression turned dark and gloomy.

She felt a little bit down.

When she left, there was still the person she missed staying in the house, but now when she returned, he should have left.

The place would feel empty without his presence.

Once Ernest left, Florence felt like her soul was taken away, and she felt like the whole courtyard was empty.

She looked dejected and gloomy as she walked in.

When she entered the hall, she saw a tall figure standing at the drinks counter not far away.

He seemed to be doing something, and when he saw her coming, his movements stopped.

Florence took a glance at him and her gaze fell on his hand, which was bandaged with white gauze. All of a sudden, her heart stopped pumping.

Ernest had his hand bandaged because he was injured.

“You’re still here?”

Her eyes shone in surprise and she strode towards him.

Clarence casually leaned on the drinks counter. The corners of his mouth pulled into a smile.

“You looked so happy when you see me. Flory, come and give me a loving hug.”

As he said so, he opened his arms wide and made a gesture to hug her.

Florence’s footsteps stopped suddenly.

Ernest wouldn’t speak to her like that, he was not so frivolous. Plus, his hand was really injured, so he couldn’t lift his arm to this height. The man in front of her was not Ernest, it was the true Clarence.

Her shining eyes turned dark instantly, she said in dissatisfaction, “It’s already night and you’re in the room, why are you still wrapped in the white gauze? No one will see it anyway.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought that he was Ernest. Now, she was happy for nothing.

As he saw Florence’s expression collapsed instantly, the corners of Clarence’s mouth twitched and he showed a look of displeasure.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you. But I’m telling you, I’m going to stay here for a long time.”

He was not happy now, so he wanted to make Florence unhappy to relieve his unbalanced mind.

“A long time?” Florence froze for a moment. Then, her heart sank again.

This meant that Ernest would not come back for a long time.

For that instance, her heart felt very uncomfortable. She looked up at Clarence only to see that he was smiling at her. The playful smile on his face made her realize something.

This bastard might not know anything, but he was lying to her deliberately.

“I will contact Ernest. This time, I no need to beg you to tell me anymore,” said Florence arrogantly.

Last time, Florence didn’t know anything about Ernest’s plans and she was restricted from doing so. Hence, she had to beg Clarence to tell her the things she wanted to know, but he didn’t use this matter to tease her.

As he heard this, Clarence was slightly surprised and a little disappointed.

Now, his fun of teasing her was gone. Thinking of his status in future, he started to feel pity about himself.

Nevertheless, he was a person who would make the best use of what he had.

He leaned lazily, pointed the drinks counter beside him and spoke to Florence like he was the boss, “Make me a cup of coffee. Add some milk and no sugar.”

Florence looked at Clarence in surprise.

She pursed her lips and said, “Do it yourself.”

She could see that the package of coffee bean on the table was opened, and the cup and water were already in place. Before she came, Clarence must be making the coffee by himself. Now that she was here, he was ordering her to finish what was half-done by him?

Obviously, he was trying to torture her on purpose.

Florence quickly walked towards her room and said, “Take your time, I’ll sleep first. By the way, you might suffer to fall asleep if you drink the coffee now. Don’t forget that you need to wake up early tomorrow.”

Clarence remained his posture by leaning there lazily. He raised his hand wrapped in gauze and glanced at it.

He said playfully, “This bandage is a fake wound made by a professional guy. No one will know that it is fake even when a doctor examines it. This wound is bandaged in a very different way from how we do it. However, it’s only drawback is that it can’t come in contact with water.”

Florence’s footsteps stopped suddenly. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The corners of her mouth twitched. She turned her head around in astonishment and looked at the gauze on Clarence’s hand unbelievably.

“Is it true?”

“Of course, it is.” Clarence said with a determined face.

Florence frowned and said, “Then how are you going to take a shower?”

This dressing might last for two to three days, but it was impossible for Clarence to stop washing himself for two to three days.

An embarrassed look flashed across his face. He really hadn’t thought about it.

It was true that women were very detailed creatures.

He said stiffly, “I will avoid water when I take a shower.”

Would it be convenient? Would it be clean enough?

Florence looked at him doubtfully.

Clarence pursed his lips. The embarrassed expression on his face changed into a playful smile.

He sneered, “If you are really worried, you can help me to wash.”
