My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Stanford said to his subordinate right away, “It’s my father’s birthday the day after tomorrow. We should hold a banquet as usual.”

His subordinate was surprised, “Wasn’t it said that Master wouldn’t hold a birthday banquet this year?” It was because Florence was pretty down, they didn’t plan to celebrate it at all.

Stanford shook his head to deny. He said happily with a smile, “I’ve changed my mind. This banquet can delight Flory. Go ahead and prepare for it. By the way, it’s a masquerade. All the guests are required to wear masks.”

The subordinate looked more surprised, “But, it’s Master’s birthday banquet. Wouldn’t it be so informal to hold a masquerade?”

“My father wouldn’t mind it as long as it would delight Flory.”

After a thought, Stanford added, “Invite all the good gentlemen in the neighborhood. The more the better.”

The subordinate finally realized what the young master was doing, “Young Master, do you want to look for a boyfriend for Little Miss through this banquet?”

“That’s just part of the reason.”

Sanford looked up in the direction where Florence’s room was, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation, “I’m sure Flory would feel much happier after meeting someone in the banquet.”

The subordinate asked in curiosity, “Who is it?”

“Stop asking nonsense! Go ahead with your work. If the banquet can’t be ready by the day after tomorrow, you would be doomed.”

Stanford kicked his subordinate. However, this was the first time that he felt so delighted in the past few weeks.

…

Since Florence was pretty down, she didn’t have any interest in such a banquet.

However, it would be her father’s birthday banquet. As the daughter, she must attend it.

In the dressing room, Tammy said with a feather mask in her hands, “Little Miss, although the attendees are required to wear the masks for the masquerade, you can wear any mask. Why would you wear such a huge one? It will hide almost all your face behind. Nobody would see you and know who you are.”

“I don’t want others to recognize me, anyway.”

Florence took over the mask and put it on her face. Except for her lips and chin, everything else on her face was hidden.

She was quite satisfied. After all, she only wanted to greet her father at his birthday banquet. She didn’t aim to socialize with others.
