My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 109: Make a Match

He was an excellent and also gentle man. If she was together with him, she would be cherished by him greatly and melted by his mellow personality.

It must be joyous to be his girlfriend.

However, when she was faced with Cooper, an image of Ernest’s face flashed across Florence’s mind subconsciously.

His face was outlandishly handsome, and he had this extremely untouchable noble aura which extinguished all kinds of longing and illusions. At the same time, he ignited a rare sense of hatred in others too.

A surge of anger suddenly appeared in her heart, and Florence was no longer in the mood to drag this nonsense out any further.

She looked at Cooper and answered seriously, “Cooper, I only see you as my friend, and this will stay the same in the…”

“Flory, I don’t want your answer now.”

Cooper interrupted Florence with a determined expression. He stared at her straight, and his eyes were unwavering.

It was only after he had almost lost her that he understood completely how precious it was for him to be able to love her completely and openly.

As long as she was still single, he didn’t have any reason to give up yet.

Florence was pursing her lips. Even if he didn’t want her to answer yet, Cooper knew very well what she was thinking.

Before long, he would be able to accept the answer.

...

In the Senna International Community, the lighting was flooding the sea of flowers in the backyard. The mesh of colours made the whole place look extremely beautiful and romantic.

However, at the moment, the atmosphere there wasn’t the least bit romantic. The air itself had frozen over.

Ernest was rooted to a spot, and his handsome face looked hideous at the moment.

He was exuding an icy vibe, which was very intimidating.

Even in that condition, a daredevil was taking step after step towards him.

Harold stopped short when he was three metres away from Ernest. He began carefully, “Ernest, don’t feel dejected just yet. You can only win over a woman by chasing after her. This is the first time you have failed, and you still have some ways to go. Failure is necessary for future successes. Your potential wife is so pretty, so of course you would have to go through some hardships in order to bring her home.”

Ernest felt even colder right now.

Without paying any heed to Harold, he marched into the villa.

Harold let out a sigh as he watched Ernest’s distant silhouette. He never thought that Ernest would be rejected by Florence.

This was Ernest first time loving a woman in his life. It was his first time putting in so much effort just to pursue her and propose to her.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected.

Despite that, he felt that Ernest was undeserving of such a fate. With his many years of experience in love, he could seed that Florence should harbour special feelings for Ernest.

Was it possible that the reason Florence rejected Ernest was because of some unspoken reason?

With this thought in mind, Harold immediately broke into a chase after Ernest. He tried to urge him, “I heard that in the new street there is an exceptionally delicious King lobster shop. I have just called for a gathering, shall we go and have a drink?”

He had investigated and found that Florence was at that same shop.

Ernest’s tone was icy cold, “I’m not going.”

“It won’t do any good to your mood by storing your frustrations. You should drink a little to lighten your mood.”

“Who said that I’m in a foul mood?”

Ernest suddenly stopped in his tracks as he glared at Harold menacingly. He was asking Harold to get lost.

“The door is there. Get lost now.”

Seeing Ernest’s tyrannical look, Harold felt his heart constrict, and he instinctively felt like darting off as cowardice overcame him.

However, he couldn’t just see Ernest giving up on himself like this. The more he lost himself, the more violent and darker his whole being would become.

Therefore, he pretended to shake his head, “You really don’t want to go? I have called for Jacob this time. You still remember him, right? He was really like an enemy of Chloe Baker, and he had been rejected every time for those thousand and one times he had confessed. However, a few days ago, he was able to make Chloe his girlfriend! He also said that he was going to educate and enlighten us on how he was able to pursue Chloe.”

Jacob Lewis was one of their brothers in their brotherhood, but based on his past records, he was the one being mocked by Ernest the most.

From Ernest’s perspective, as long as the girl had rejected the guy, it clearly showed that there was no hope in furthering their relationship. He should just let go of her as Ernest didn’t see any of the guy continue to persist.

He was never too eager to do something that was hopeless.

“I, too, have someone I like, but am not able to make her as my girlfriend. Coincidentally, tonight I can learn a thing or two from Jacob, and I am sure with that I will be able to succeed in my pursuit after a few days.”

Harold was saying this with much vigour, and from time to time he would sneak glances at Ernest.

Ernest continued to bear an emotionless face, but his icy gaze was suddenly directed at Harold.

He exposed Harold with sharp intuition, “Are you trying to trick me into attending the gathering?”

Harold felt his breath catch in his throat as his eyes darted around aimlessly. He never thought that Ernest who had just lost his love was still as sharp as ever. There was no way to lure and trick him.

He laughed awkwardly, “I’m just suggesting this out of kindness.”

“If you really don’t intend to go, then I’ll take my leave now.”

Afraid that Ernest would slash him into pieces, Harold didn’t dare to stay here for another minute. He began to make his way to the garage.

At this moment, another pair of legs surpassed him as someone walked towards the garage with such ease.

Harold was stunned as he watched Ernest’s back.

“Ernest, where are you going?”

“I’m hungry.”

Ernest answered coldly as he continued to head towards the garage without stopping.

Harold froze for a few seconds, and only after that he finally came back to his senses.

Hungry? Supper?

It turned out that Ernest was going to listen to Jacob’s story after all.

Harold revealed a playful laugh akin to a fox’s as he thought that no matter how witty a guy was, he wouldn’t be able to use his resourcefulness and reason in matters concerning relationships.

After getting on the car, the two of them didn’t confirm their destinations with words as they both headed to the supper shop in the new street.

While on the way, Harold had thought up a few methods to ignite a spark between Ernest and Florence. Even if they didn’t work, it would still shake Florence a little.

This supper shop was a very common type by the side of the street. It was a moderate place that catered to the masses, and it had a suitable environment. There was a crowd thronging the place.

In the past, Ernest would never visit such a place.

He looked at the shop with a disgruntled look, “Can’t I just takeaway if I want to eat lobster?”

After pausing a little, he added in a commanding tone, “Tell them to change into another place.”

Harold who was walking into the stop felt an imminent danger. It was not easy to lure Ernest to this place, so how could he just let Ernest walk away just like that?

The lobster and their brothers were not the important thing here. The most important aspect of their plan was Florence who was inside the shop.

“The lobster won’t taste good if you are going to take-away. Furthermore, Jacob has already arrived, and I bet he has already started his story.”

A flicker appeared on Ernest’s face as he marched into the shop with a darkened face.

Harold finally let out a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly followed Ernest and entered the hall. He immediately scanned the customers enjoying their meals there, and in no time, he was able to spot someone familiar.

It was Phoebe Jenkins.

Tonight, Phoebe came here with Florence. If Phoebe was present on one of the tables, it meant Florence must be with her too.

Harold immediately headed in Phoebe’s direction as he announced, “Our suite is there.”

Ernest didn’t suspect anything as he moved forward without blinking with his face an icy figure. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
