My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

The engagement ceremony was taken place at the hanging garden the next day, the highest part of the Ophelia Hotel which appeared to be the most deluxe hotel in City N. It was said that no more than ten people in the city had the privilege to invite guests to the hanging garden.

Slightly shocked, Grayson turned around and was instantly stupefied with an incredulous look. Isabel followed his eyes and her face went cadaverous due to deep shock the moment she identified who that man was. It was Ernest Hawkins! Why, why did he say that Florence was his
