My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 264: How Embarrassed!

“I was still dizzy and said those words in sleep. Don’t take it to your heart.”

Florence didn’t dare to look at Ernest. She wished so much that she could slap herself. How embarrassed!

She awkwardly walked pass Ernest. Ernest’s warmth seemed to remain on the pair of slippers and Florence walked into the living room in a disturbed state.

She seemed to feel better when she got away from the bed.

Looking at the woman who was trying her best to distance herself away from him, Ernest’s gaze became gloomy with a touch of helplessness flashing across his eyes.

She was still excessively nervous when she was facing him.

“It’s close to the appointment with Tina. Dress yourself and we will set off.”

Florence, who was overwhelmed by embarrassment, finally pulled herself together. She came back late in the afternoon and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already in the evening.

“All right. I will get prepared and will be there soon.”

Florence hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.

There was a huge mirror in the bathroom. When Florence walked in, she saw a messy reflection in the mirror.

As she just woke up, her hair was so messy and the straps of her dress were entangled on her body.

Her image was messy and was so unpleasant to eyes.

“Ah!”

Florence covered her face with her hands and her face was crimson red as if it was about to drip blood. She wished so much that she could find a hole on the ground and hide herself in it.

Ernest had saw how messy she was just now. Florence felt extremely ashamed.

“Don’t be so nervous. It’s not the first time for me to see your messy appearance when you just wake up.”

Ernest’s tall figure suddenly appeared at the door of the bathroom and said with a teasing sound.

Florence uncontrollably recalled the scenes when she lived at his home, she woke up with him on the same bed everyday.

She was rendered speechless.

Florence glared at him, “I’ve also seen your messy appearance when you just work up and was improperly dressed.”

Florence was stunned when she realized what she had said.

She looked at Ernest dully and could clearly feel that her face was so red.

A charming smile appeared on Ernest’s handsome face.

“Yeah. You’ve seen all the aspects that I haven’t shown to others.”

She had seen his noble aspect, his ordinary aspect, how he looked like in daily life, his casual aspect, and even his embarrassed look.

Those outsiders hadn’t seen these aspects on him and it was impossible for them to see these.

But Florence had seen all these aspects of him.

She was the only one in the world to see these aspects of him.

Florence’s heart missed one beat at the moment.

The dinner was arranged in a high-end restaurant on the exclusive floor of the hotel.

In usual times, the restaurant would have a great number of guests during the dinner time. But for the time being, as the organizer of the fashion show had booked the whole building, the restaurant was not open to the public as well.

They originally intended to entertain the guests of the fashion show in the restaurant, but tonight, there was not a redundant guest in the restaurant except for some waiters and waitresses.

The decoration of the restaurant was also different from its decoration in usual times.

The whole restaurant was decorated for a candle dinner with candles and flowers scattered everywhere. The fragrance of aromatherapy prevailed in the air and the whole restaurant was shrouded in a romance.

The lights here was not as bright as they were in usual times and they became slightly dimmer. It was a tone of color that would easily trigger romantic affairs.

It was Tina who asked them to have an ad-hoc arrangement. They had arranged it exquisitely.

And Tina was wearing a fishtail dress which fully exposed her perfect figure.

She specially arranged all these for Ernest.

Ernest invited her to have dinner together and it would be easy to have a romantic affair when a man was staying with a woman alone.

It was rare for her to have feelings to a man. Even if Ernest had a nominal fiancée, Tina was confident that she could snatch him from his fiancée.

Moreover, it was Ernest who invited her to have dinner together, so it could be deduced that he also want to have some romantic affairs with her.

She just needed to take the easy option.

With confidence in herself, Tina sat on the sofa as elegantly as possible. She had selected a conspicuous place where Ernest could see her the moment he entered the restaurant.

She would impress Ernest tonight.

“Are you Mr. Hawkins? Come in please?”

The waiter’s voice along with a string of footsteps of leather shoes sounded from the door.

Ernest was here!

Tina immediately became highly strung up, yet at the same time she was looking forward to it. With one hand supporting her chin, she assumed a sexiest posture.

A pleasant smile appeared on her face that was exquisitely made-up before.

But her smile froze.

With her eyes widened, Tina gazed at the persons who were walking towards her in disbelief.

It was true that Ernest was here. But he came here together with Florence!

They were walking towards her arm in arm and Florence was quite intimate with Ernest.

Wasn’t Ernest going to have dinner with her alone?

They what did her preparation for tonight mean? Wasn’t it a laughing stock?

Tina was bewildered as if she was stuck by lightning. She was so shocked that she still couldn’t pull herself together after a long while.

Florence walked into the restaurant arm in arm with Ernest.

She glanced around the surroundings and felt surprised and curious. Why was the decoration of this restaurant so romantic?

If she didn’t see Tina, she would think that this was a venue for proposal.

“Hello, Ms. Alston.”

Florence took the initiative and greeted Tina politely.

Tina finally came back to her own sense when she heard her voice.

Even if she was reluctant to admit the fact that Ernest brought Florence together with him, it was the truth.

Tina was so furious that she wanted to throw Florence out of the window, but she still managed to maintain a graceful and decent smile on her face.

“Hello, Miss Fraser.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Tina then nodded at Ernest and made a gesture of invitation, “Mr. Hawkins, please take a sit.”

Ernest pressed his thin lips together. He held up Florence’s hand and naturally sat down opposite to Tina.

It was a foursquare table with some white roses and candles on it. The sweet fragrance of aromatherapy prevailed in the air. It looked quite romantic.

However, Tina didn’t think it romantic at all when she glanced at Florence who was sitting beside Ernest.

After seating herself beside Ernest, Florence looked up and saw Tina who was sitting opposite to them.

Tina’s brows were furrowed slightly and her expression was complicated. She was a bit absent-minded as she seemed to be thinking of something.

And Ernest simply pressed his thin lips together with an indifferent look.

It was so quiet and awkward.

To alleviate the awkwardness, Florence casually found an excuse, “The decoration of this restaurant is really awesome. It’s somehow romantic.”

Tina was rendered speechless and blushed. Why did Florence bring up this embarrassing topic?

Ernest gazed at Florence and asked in a low voice, “You like it?”

“A little bit.”

She just casually found a topic to break the silence. Although this place looked romantic, it had a strong scent of aromatherapy and she didn’t like it very much.

Ernest pressed his lips together. He didn’t say anything again.

But he fixated his lines of sights on Florence as if he only had her in his eyes.

He didn’t even spare a glance at Tina, who had exquisitely dressed up herself.

Tina felt upset and angry.

She would go crazy because of anger if they kept displayed their affections publicly.
