My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Much to Ernest’s surprise, Florence cared so much about what happened that night.

Did it make her feel embarrassed?

“Do you think that night was a shame for you?” Those words were squeezed from Ernest’s throat.

He had thought that she was just frightened, so she wasn’t willing to face the fact about what happened that night. Unexpectedly, it had made such a big impact on her.

It was just like a black curtain falling from the sky, completely covering the sky of her world.

From then on, only the endless darkness was left in her world.

Florence was unwilling to recall that night. Moreover, she didn’t want to mention it to this man.

However, she had already disclosed part of her secret.

All her embarrassments had been presented to him. She felt like a fish stranded on the beach, which could only be under the blazing sun for quite a long time without any choice.

Florence gritting her teeth. “Yes, it was.”

Having no guts to look at him, she lowered her head.

“You must think I’m quite dirty. You are such a noble man, but you have a fiancee like me...”

“I don’t mind,” Ernest interrupted Florence before she could finish her words.

His fingers pressed on her shoulders slightly drew together. He stared at her, looking extremely solemn.

“You are the woman I want. No matter who you are, you are always beautiful in my heart.”

Ernest had never said such sweet words before. Now, he just spoke them to her so naturally.

It was so pleasant to hear that Florence’s heart couldn’t help hammering.

Florence was in shock. Looking at him, she doubted if she was in a dream as she felt so unreal.

Without thinking anything, she blurts out a line, “But, you didn’t touch me last night...”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

Ernest’s tone was so firm. After a pause, he added, “And this time, I wanted to save it until our wedding night.”
