My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Stanford was a perfectionist; he had never failed in anything. Seeing him being inexperienced gave Collin a golden opportunity to tease him.

“A couple acted like total strangers when they argued but become inseparable the next second is completely normal. Short separation enhances the sweetness.”

Stanford widened his eyes in disbelieve.

The difference was too huge, there was no principle line?

Collin patted Stanford’s shoulder and endured his laughter.

“It’s time for you to find a lover, have some experience in a romantic relationship or your sister will laugh at you.”

“Crap!”

Stanford defended with a stiffened face, “There’s an ongoing war in Africa, and they need military doctor…”

“Stanford! You should be single for life! You are too good to be someone’s partner, I mean it!”

Collin’s smiley face turned soft, he uttered out the word using a flattering tone like a dog waving its tail.

Stanford stood up. “Just to be safe, go and visit Flory whenever you are free, keep an eye on them.”

“Okay! As you wish.”

Collin replied.

Stanford was his superior, there was a limit of the teasing, or else he might send him to Africa.

He had been there once and didn’t intend to go back.

Stanford’s face turned softer, he poured himself another full glass of wine.

He had a sip and sunken into his thinking.

Perhaps Collin was right, he was being too suspicious?

As Collin said, he had no experience in this and didn’t understand much about an intimate relationship, he couldn’t conclude.

Collin shook his head and laughed seeing Stanford got sunken into his thinking. Even if there was a problem with Clarence and Florence, he couldn’t have noticed it since he had got no experience at all.
