My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Pressing her lips, Florence gradually yanked her hands back from Samantha.

She kept smiling, but showed a sense of alienation.

"Thank you for your generosity, Princess Samantha, but as an ordinary people, I didn't do some good at all so that I couldn't deserve your reward and would be too anxious to sleep."

"These clothes are so gorgeous. You should reward them to the women who contributed a lot, which would be more appropriate and would remind people of how Princess Samantha deals with everything fairly. People would be grateful for you."

It implied that if she gave the clothes to Florence, she showed favoritism and didn't handle things in a disinterested manner.

It was simply sending clothes as a gift. How could Florence defy her in this way?

Samantha could hardly maintain her smile.

Suppressing her temper, she said tenderly, "Flory, the women who had made a contribution would be rewarded naturally. Since you come here from afar and I like you so much and even regard you as my own sister, I would like to give you such a gift as a token of my appreciation."

She paused a few second, looking aggrieved, "Does it mean that you don't like me and even don't want to be friendly to me if you don't want to receive my gift."

Of course she didn't want it, which was so evident that everyone could see.

However, Florence couldn't reveal it in public. Words had consequences. If she still refused her in public and made Princess Samantha lose face, the rumor could spread across the whole country in a minute.

She would be regarded as a headstrong woman who dared to defy Princess Samantha. Then, she would come under fire from the whole country and even risked to be thrown stinky eggs.

But she felt vexed to see the drama queen in front of her.

It would be embarrassing to receive her clothes.

Frowning and brooding, Florence said with her smiling face,

"Of course I would like to get on well with you, Princess Samantha. However, I'm so humble that I'm afraid of not having such an honor. Since these clothes are considered to be a custom for treating a guest like me, I'm so grateful for that."

Florence implied that she received the gift because she was a guest from afar and it was a custom of welcoming new guests, which bore no relationship with other reasons.
