My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Yes, it’s me,” Florence held her phone and answered, nodding. Her little face was chubby with a nervous look.

From the other end of the line, the man paused for a second, and then he chuckled in a deep voice.

Florence was stunned, wondering what he was laughing about after she tried hard to get in touch with him.

She pouted and asked, “What are you laughing about?”

“I’m so happy.”

Ernest’s voice was quite low with delight.

He said steadily, “You’ve kept your old cell phone. Do you always miss me?”

His tone was quite affirmative.

Florence blushed right away. How could he say those words so confidently? How shameless!

She retorted, “I just want to save money.”

Ernest continued to chuckle, his voice full of joy.

Florence felt more uneasy, but she felt sweet in her heart, which made her feel awkward.

She immediately changed the subject, “Where are you now? Did my family trouble you yesterday?”

“Are you worried about me?” Ernest asked ambiguously instead of answering her.

Florence’s cheeks were burning. With an unconcealed smile on her face, she still didn’t admit it. “I’m not kidding with you. I’m asking you seriously.”

“I’m also asking you seriously.”

Ernest’s voice became deeper. She could faintly hear his footsteps as if he was walking. “Do you want to see me?” he asked.

“Of course...” Florence realized that her voice was way too excited. Then she lowered her voice. “Of course I want to see you. Don’t we have a lot of matters to resolve?”

“What matters?” Ernest asked calmly again in a low voice.

Florence was taken aback for a moment, blushing more deeply. The matters between them were those relevant to their marriages, weren’t they?
