My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Okay. Let’s go in the hall together.”

Cooper looked at Florence tenderly, bending his arm like a gentleman.

Florence was a bit stunned when looking at his arm. She seldom attended banquets. In the previous few times when she attended such occasions, she was arm-in-arm with Ernest.

However, she was with another man tonight.

She guessed this should be the days when everything went back on the normal track. Now she just accepted it ahead of time.

Somehow, she felt a bit depressed. Florence gritted her teeth to endure. Reaching out, she put her hand on Cooper’s arm.

When they were about to move in, Florence looked up and saw Ernest in surprise.

He walked among the crowd, towards her step by step. He was one meter and ninety tall, outstanding among all people in the hall.

His gaze was as deep as the strongest fire, and he glinted at her.

Florence was taken aback suddenly. Looking at him, she couldn’t help but slow down her breath.

Then he walked to her and stood face-to-face with her.

His gaze swept between the arms of Florence and Cooper dangerously. The atmosphere around him became lower.

In a hoarse voice, he said, “Florence, come over.”

Florence gaped. She had never expected that Ernest would come to her. For a moment, she didn’t know how to react.

Looking up again, she saw Gemma walking over from not far away.

Wearing the red dress, she looked quite charming. All the attendees knew that she was Ernest’s date tonight.

Florence doubted who she herself was to Ernest, then.

Suppressing the uncomfortable feelings in her heart, Florence shook her head.

Ernest looked more annoyed. The dangerous aura was diffused, making people around so timid and afraid.

Cooper frowned slightly. He walked up and hid Florence behind his tall and strong body.

He said in a clean voice, neither humble nor pushy, “Mr. Hawkins, Florence is my date tonight. Please don’t trouble her.”

“Your date?”
