My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Gemma was insanely captivating, plus she also had an aura of natural elegance and nobleness, hence when she had started to weep like this, her sorrowful look could move people’s hearts and rouse their sympathy for her.

However, all kinds of suspicions and doubts had already piled up in Florence’s heart, so she would not easily trust her words and actions anymore.

Although she was still in the dark about the truth of the relationship between Gemma and Ernest, she had a feeling that it was not as what Gemma had depicted.

Even if Gemma and Ernest were indeed lovers, she was certain that they were not a loving pair of couple.

“You have said it yourself as well that the love between two persons is selfish, Ms. Marlon. How many women could actually resist Ernest’s charm and not fall for him when he is such an attractive and outstanding man? You may well ask. I’m just an ordinary person, so it’s normal that I will fall for him as well. If I were to marry him, I would be like all the other women too as I would not allow you to hang around him anymore. Therefore, you should try to talk him into breaking off the engagement with me before it’s too late.”

“But…” Gemma knitted her brows deeply as her heart was overwhelmed by mixed emotions.

It was not her place to ask Ernest to break off his engagement with Florence as she had no right to do that.

Florence raised her eyebrows and stared at Gemma as she added, “Don’t tell me that you couldn’t talk him out of marrying me as well, Ms. Marlon?”

“Surely I can!” Gemma retorted without any hesitation with a resolute look on her face.

She had already sensed that Florence was starting to doubt her words, hence if she were to give the game away now, Florence would definitely catch on and corroborate her suspicions.

She had to continue her play-acting no matter what for now.

“The Hawkins family is City N’s utmost wealthy and powerful clan, so Ernest’s wedding is naturally a great deal to them. If you were to break off your engagement with him suddenly, it would cause a rippling effect on his family, so you have to give him more time to handle this complex issue. Furthermore, Ernest has always been stubborn, so it would also require a few rounds of persuasion for him to call off the wedding even if it’s coming from me.”

“Alright then, sorry to have to trouble you, and I hope to hear the good news soon.”

Florence smiled politely and broke off her hand from Gemma’s grip, and she proceeded to walk over to the bar counter to pour some fruit juice into a glass.

She handed it over to Gemma in the next moment, “Do you want some?”

“No thanks. Have a good rest then, I’ll take my leave now.”

As soon as Gemma had finished her sentence, she marched out of the room in a hurry without even looking back, and it seemed like she was unwilling to stay in this room for any longer.
