My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Ernest looked at Florence, who was teary-eyed, knowing that he had indeed scared her just now.

He reached out his fingers and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

“Okay. I won’t do it again.”

He gently and patiently reassured her and whispered in front of her, “The reason I blindfolded myself just now was not a risk, but a sure win.”

Such a death race depended on the opponent’s psychological quality, whether they could bear it to the end, and it was totally risking their lives.

Even if he was blindfolded, how could he be so sure of winning?

Ernest patiently explained to her, “This race is all about one’s psychological quality and limit of endurance. Benjamin must have checked out all of Clarence’s information and predicted that Clarence was timid in nature and would definitely unable to bear it, making the turn and admit defeat. But I’m not Clarence. Benjamin is convinced that Clarence won’t last until the end, so he won’t make the turn too. In the end…”

He didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was clear.

The two cars would have collided, and they would be dead too.

Florence broke out in a cold sweat, and she felt a pang of fear and panic.

She was so worried that she hadn’t even thought of such a danger.

Ernest added, “To win this game, I had to destroy Benjamin’s belief in himself winning this. So, I blindfolded myself to act brave, impulsive and reckless. And when Benjamin was afraid that I’m surely not admitting defeat nor making a turn, he was bound to make the turn at the last moment.”

Ernest had predicted all of it. And the result was precisely what he had expected.

It seemed like a dangerous move and yet a sure win situation.

Florence couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart as if she was finally relieved, and she also felt that the man in front of her was indeed powerful.

It seemed that everything was within his grasp.

She didn’t need to worry too much as he would handle it well.
