My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

“Clarence, we’re far away from there now. Please put me down and take a rest,” Florence said in a hoarse voice, feeling sorry for him.

She could see that Clarence’s face was so reddened because of running. Sweat dripped from his forehead like raindrops.

He was spoiled since he was a kid and not physically strong at all. Such a long time of running should be big trouble for him.

Clarence smiled and shook his head.

He answered affirmatively, “I’m fine. When Benjamin Turner’s men returned to their senses, they would surely chase us. I must take you to the safe place.”

Otherwise, if they were caught, all their efforts would be in vain.

Florence’s eyes twinkled. She moved a bit in his arms. “Put me down. I can walk with you.”

“You are beaten so violently. How can you still walk?” Clarence looked at her doubtfully. Obviously, he didn’t believe it.

Florence shook her head. Then she nodded determinedly. “I’m fine. I can walk by myself.”

Seeing her insist, Clarence still didn’t let go of her. He kept striding.

While striding, he said jokingly, “I’d love to hold you in this way and walk back. I’ll hold you intimately. If someone knew it, he would be so jealous.”

Someone?

Jealous?

His words reechoed in Florence’s mind. She felt confused.

Suddenly, her heart hammered. Staring at Clarence with her sparkling eyes, she asked hurriedly, “What do you mean? Who will be jealous?”

“Guess.”

Clarence smiled playfully, still mocking.

Florence’s heart was like flying onto the sky, shaking, ready to fall.

Nervously, she gripped his shoulders, “Come on. Tell me. Who the heck is going to be jealous?”

Clarence shrugged, looking forward.

“We’re almost there. You can make a bold guess.”
