My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 695: Invitation

Bonnie stared at Ernest without a blink.

Earlier, she had been admitting that Ernest was way too handsome. Right then, she had to admit that he could be so extremely handsome.

When the man spoke out those words that she had no guts to think about in a domineering manner, her heart hammered. Suddenly, she realized that a woman could be doted and loved by a man.

It turned out that a woman had such a way to live that was completely different from theirs.

Florence turned to look at Ernest, feeling warm and happy in her heart.

No matter in what relationship and situation, he always defended her and protected her.

After shocking for a short while, Andrew reacted first. He quickly put away his emotion.

With a smile, he said, “Mr. Hawkins, I can’t agree with you more. My wife isn’t sensible. Please don’t mind her. I’ll teach her a lesson later.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at his wife. The smile on his face turned to a wave of fierce anger.

Then he scolded her, “Have you heard it? Ms. Fraser isn’t from our country. She’s a guest, just arriving. She doesn’t need to do things according to your rules.

“From now on, you must treat her as the most superior guest. If I found you yell at Ms. Fraser or do anything harmful to her, I would punish you even if Mr. Hawkins wouldn’t.”

The woman gaped at Andrew, her face trembling violently.

She had never expected that her husband, the master of the family, would defend Florence as well.

Florence was obviously a woman. The woman wondered what right Florence had to deserve such an honorable treatment as a man.

She felt quite unhappy, but being snapped, she lowered her head as usual and didn’t dare to utter any word.

The idea in her bone forbade her to disobey her husband.

Seeing that the woman was obedient, Andrew felt a bit relieved.

Although Ernest was a guest in his house, Andrew had been abroad before, so he knew it was a huge world outside his country. Ernest could come to Raflad, which meant he must have an extremely strong background and power.

Even the legendary family where Florence was from, if they would have the intention, they could ruin the whole Raflad.

Andrew didn’t want to offend Ernest at all. Hence, he decided to fully help Ernest after he woke up.

On one hand, he did it to return Collin’s favor. On the other hand, he was fearful.

“Ms. Fraser, my wife isn’t sensible so she has done things to offend you. Please don’t take it to your heart for my sake,” Andrew looked at Florence with a friendly smile and apologized to her sincerely.

Watching the noble Andrew apologize to Florence, the woman felt as if she got a strike by the lightning. Her face changed between livid and pale from time to time.

Florence was also a woman. She wondered why Florence deserved such treatment.

Florence hurriedly waved her hand, “It’s all right. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved.”

Although she was sickened by the woman’s attitude, for the sake that Andrew had saved her, Florence never wanted to call the woman to account at all.

With a brighter smile, Andrew picked up his wine goblet and was about to have a toast with Florence.

“Ms. Fraser, you are truly a kind-hearted and straightforward woman. Let’s have a toast to you.”

He also wanted Florence to forget about the unhappiness after drinking the wine.

Naturally, Florence wouldn’t say no. She also picked up the goblet on the glass and was about to clink it with Andrew’s. However, when she just picked up the goblet, Ernest grabbed it.

He acted naturally and clinked on the glass with Andrew elegant.

“She doesn’t drink. I’ll drink it for her.”

After finishing his words, Ernest raised his head and gulped down the wine. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Andrew was slightly taken aback. Then he burst into laughter heartily, gulping down the wine.

Hence, they let the bygones be bygones in this way.

Florence finally could sit and enjoy the meat.

She had been too starved. As soon as she took a bite, she felt as if she had eaten the most delicious food in this world.

Looking at Florence who was busy munching, Ernest smiled helplessly, his eyes full of affection.

He filled her bowl with soup and blew it to cool it down. Then he put it in front of Florence.

“Be careful. Don’t get choked. Have some soup.”

Florence had just finished eating a piece of meat, feeling a bit choked up.

She smiled at Ernest and picked up the bowl of soup, drinking it.

The woman, who was cleaning up the blanket, watched the scene. Her face became darkened.

“Humph!” she snorted to express her disdain.

She was sickened that as a woman, Florence shamelessly needed a man to take care of her.

Andrew glared at his wife and snapped, “Hurry up! Get out after cleaning.”

The woman immediately lowered her head again, nodding and speeding up to clean.

Right then, the door curtain of the dining room was pulled open from the outside. Three men in their thirties came in.

The man in the lead was wearing a neat suit, with gold patterns on the neckline.

“Hi, Andrew. Is Mr. Hawkins here?”

As he spoke, the man glanced through the dining hall. His gaze fell on Florence.

He was extremely shocked when seeing Florence eating at the dining table. He almost thought that he had entered the wrong house.

However, his professionalism made him return to normal after he was shocked for less than one second.

Seeing the men coming in, Andrew immediately stood up.

With a smile, he greeted the man in the lead, “Hi, Mr. Carlton. What has brought you down here? Mr. Hawkins is having lunch now.”

“Of course there’s good news.”

With a meaningful smile, Alton Carlton, her Highness’ butler, directly walked to Ernest and bowed at him respectfully.

He said, “Mr. Hawkins, how are you? Please get prepared. The princess wants to see you.”

Florence was slightly taken aback by hearing the princess.

She felt a bit upset about it.

Ernest’s face was slightly darkened. Pressing his lips, he didn’t speak.

Andrew asked tentatively, “Excuse me, Mr. Carlton. Why does the princess want to see Mr. Hawkins?”

“What else could be the reason? Of course for the matter that you guys wished,” answered Alton.

Then he urged Ernest, “Mr. Hawkins, the princess is still waiting for you. Please follow me.”

Upon hearing it, Andrew looked delighted.

He echoed, “Mr. Hawkins, please go ahead with Mr. Carlton.”

His tone was quite normal, but Florence sensed that he was reminding Ernest about something.

She looked over at Ernest, whose handsome face was expressionless. It seemed that he didn’t feel excited to meet the princess.

Florence slightly frowned, lost in thought.

After a moment of silence, Ernest nodded, “Wait for a moment. I’ll go with you right away.”

Alton misunderstood that Ernest wanted to finish lunch here.

With a smile, he said, “Mr. Hawkins, you don’t need to eat here. The princess has prepared exotic food from mountains and seas. She’d like to have lunch with you.”

Florence was startled, becoming quite alert.

If the princess wanted to see Ernest for business, it was fine. However, she had prepared exotic food from mountains and seas, which was to please Ernest. Florence wondered if the princess had any other purposes.

Looking at Ernest’s handsome face that could take any woman’s breath away, Florence suddenly felt extremely uneasy.
