My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Yes, it’s my fault truly. I felt quite bored and annoyed while being locked up at home. I vent my waves of anger on my maids. But, Ernest, no matter what I’ve done, my love for you has never changed.”

With red eyes, Gemma walked to Ernest.

“Now you came to see me. Does it mean that you’ve forgiven me for the sake of our relationship before? Ernest, I don’t want anything else. I just want to go back to where we used to be. I promise that I would never make such mistakes I’ve made again in the future.”

As she spoke, Gemma reached out to touch Ernest with hope.

However, he dodged.

Ernest creased his brows, looking at her in disgust coldly.

“Gemma Marlon, I came to you, not for the sake of our relationship in the past.”

Ernest dodged Gemma and took a few steps backward. He stood outside the door directly.

He looked quite disdained as if he felt quite disgusted when breathing the air in her room.

Gemma’s hand was stiffened in the mid-air. Her face turned pale.

She had grown up with Ernest since childhood. She had loved him for so many years, so she knew him very well. His look proved that he truly disgusted her.

She guessed that probably she was more disgusting than the homeless on the roadside to him now.

Ernest looked at Gemma coldly, giving her an order while stressing each syllable, “For the seventy-year-old birthday banquet of Lord Wendell, I want you to be my date to attend it.”

Gemma was stunned for a moment.

Then she reacted slowly and realized that Ernest didn’t come for her because of their friendship in the past. Instead, it was because he wanted to attend Lord Wendell’s seventy-year-old birthday party.

Lord Wendell always kept a low profile and he stayed in America. He hadn’t had any contact with the Hawkins family before. It was all because Gemma used to know him, so she got an invitation from him.

Lord Wendell had retired already and he wasn’t so powerful as he used to be, which seemed to be useless to Ernest.

Gemma couldn’t help but wonder why Ernest would put his effort to meet Lord Wendell.
