My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

At the natural lake, Florence and Phoebe laid out the picnic mat that they had prepared and put out some snacks.

Stanford and Clarence had already rented a private boat.

It was a little fishing boat that was neither large nor small, it had to be rowed by an oar, it looked like it had a very laid-back and elegant feel to it.

The lake was massive, rowing in nature was a pretty good past-time.

Florence had no other opinion, so the four of them were about to get on the boat.

The little boat was not stable, Florence couldn’t stabilize herself once she got on.

Subconsciously, she wanted to hold on to Phoebe, but Clarence who was standing by the side quickly caught her hand to stabilize her.

A man’s strange touch on her made Florence stunned for a second, she retracted her hand anxiously.

Clarence stood by her side, and said stiffly, “Let me make it clear, I’m not intentionally taking advantage of you, I’m doing it for your brother to see.”

Florence knew they were acting, just that she still felt uncomfortable.

With her face flushed red, she said, “I know.”

Finishing her words, she found a spot on the boat and sat down.

Clarence followed and sat by her side.

Between them was a very small space, but they were not leaning on each other.

It looked intimate, but it was distant.

Stanford sat opposite them, looking at the awkward duo, he couldn’t help but feel that something was a little odd.

After spending time together these few days, the more he realized that they don’t look like a little couple, but looking at their actions from the surface, he couldn’t figure out why.

Stanford felt that he had never encountered something that befuddled him so much.

Phoebe’s gaze was often subconsciously on Stanford, after observing him for some time, she realized that in his eyes were hidden suspicion.

She was the person who knew everything, so she felt a little guilty.

She knew that Florence and Clarence didn’t have a real relationship, no matter how hard they acted, they couldn’t act out real intimacy and flirtatiousness.

The boat was swaying and rocking, it was easy to touch and bump into one another, intimate people would use this opportunity to stick together, people that weren’t intimate would quickly avoid that situation.

If this continued, it was a matter of time before Stanford found out that something was wrong.
