My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

In a hurry, she picked up the phone and dialed Ernest’s number. However, she only heard the robotic reply that the call couldn’t be connected.

The number was Ernest’s private number, which always stood by twenty-four hours a day. How could it be connected?

The more Florence wondered, the more panicked she became.

She dared not to delay any longer. In a hurry, she put on her clothes and walked out of her bedroom.

She rushed to Phoebe’s room, knocking on her door.

“Who is it?” Phoebe mumbled sleepily.

Florence asked anxiously, “Phoebe, have you seen Ernest before going to bed?”

“No, I haven’t.”

After she heard a few sounds in the room, Phoebe came to open the door in pajamas.

As soon as the door was opened, Phoebe saw how panicked Florence was. She asked nervously, “Flory, what happened? Is Ernest missing?”

Florence nodded. “Yes. I came back with him, but when I woke up just now, I didn’t see him. I’m quite worried.”

“Please don’t worry. I’ll go with you to look for him. He’s probably busy with something.”

Phoebe wrapped her pajamas tightly, walking out of her bedroom.

Florence was so uneasy that she wanted to leave immediately.

Right then, a man’s voice was heard. “I’ll go with you girls.”

In the direction where the voice came from, they saw Clarence came out from his room.

He was in loos pajamas, looking solemnly. He walked quite slowly.

Florence was startled. She immediately refused, “No, thanks. Clarence, you haven’t recovered yet. You’d better go back to sleep.”

Clarence still walked towards Florence without a stop.

“I’m almost recovered. You need more help. Don’t turn me down. Let’s go.”

Without giving Florence a chance to say no, Clarence turned around and walked out directly.

He didn’t walk faster, but his tall and strong figure looked quite determined.
