My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

The man’s clean scent enveloped her and he smelled good. Florence was stunned and tensed up. Why did Cooper suddenly hug her?

“Thank goodness you’re fine!” Cooper’s voice was raspy and was clearly worried. Last night he went to the restroom but didn’t find her. She drank a lot of wine and was tipsy. He was worried that something happened to her.

Florence was apologetic for causing him to worry. She was indeed slightly drunk last night and Ernest’s presence caused her to be totally muddleheaded. She even forgot to take a glance at her phone.

“I’m really fine. I was slightly tipsy and came back to sleep.” Florence gently pushed Cooper off and found a reasonable explanation.

Cooper looked at Florence while deep in thoughts. Last night he searched a long time for her and someone told him that Florence had left with Ernest. Why did he lie to him that she left on her own?

“Looks like you didn’t sleep well. You have dark circles around your eyes.” Perhaps she was uncomfortable that she had lied and tried to change the topic.

Cooper laughed and said softly, “Yeah, I drank too much last night and didn’t feel well.”

Florence didn’t think too much and brought Cooper into the room and said, “I’ll make some tea to clear out heads. I also drank a fair bit last night and am having a hangover.”

“Okay.” Cooper walked in and felt unsettled as he looked at Florence as she didn’t mention about what happened last night. He wouldn’t force her if she was unwilling to tell him.

After the competition was over, the details of the next round of competition would be announced after a day. That meant that there was one day to rest. The organizers held an activity that day. In the afternoon, they’ll go to a nearby Coastal Manor for a swimsuit party.

Florence was the leading participant and could not miss the event.

The Manor’s garden consisted of a beach and was right next to the sea. There were also two large swimming pools. They could choose to play at the lagoon or in the pools.

The party was very lively and there were girls dressed in bikinis.

“Florence, come in and play.” Cooper was in the pool and clung to the side of the pool. He waved his hands at Florence who was seat nearby.
