My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“I trust her,” Ernest replied in a husky tone, and even though it was only a short and simple answer from him, it exuded his unswerving determination to uphold her innocence.

Florence stared at the towering and imperial man beside her, and her heart had eased up a little despite being attacked by numerous antagonistic looks in the room as she felt like she had found her pillar of strength.

Barney clenched his teeth in exasperation as his countenance fell when he was silenced by Ernest’s reply.

“Cough, cough...”

A feeble cough sounded from the bed at that time, and everyone’s attention was instantly drawn towards it.

“Are you awake, Mom?” Brianna quickly moved closer to Georgia’s bed in a concerned manner, yet her heart was bursting with exultation as though she had foreseen what would happen next.

If Georgia Hawkins had laid her eyes on Florence, she would surely be enraged and ask her to get out from the house. Florence would have no choice but to leave, and their wedding might even be cancelled due to her scandal.

Ernest would end up being enmeshed in this affair, which meant that her son could take advantage of the opportunity to climb the ladder.

Ernest had also stridden towards the bed shortly after and stooped down as he asked in a softened tone which was seldom displayed by him, “How are you feeling, Grandma?”

Florence stood by the perimeter of the crowd, not taking any steps forward while she even contemplated the need to excuse herself first.

Georgia had collapsed because of her, so there was a highly likely chance that she would not want to see her face now.

Georgia’s eyelids flickered and she finally opened her eyes in a slow manner. After taking a few glances at Ernest, she murmured her first few words, “Where is Flory?”

Before Ernest had even answered her question, Barney and two other persons had enclosed the bed, keeping Florence’s presence out of Georgia’s sight.

Ernest replied, “She should be at home, Grandma. Please don’t be too distressed and get yourself worked up about her matter anymore.”
