My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 52: Why Were They Sleeping in the Same Blanket?

The close hug and the vague feeling of distance had made Florence Fraser frightened and nervous all the time.

However, she did not know that whether Ernest Hawkins’s hug was too warm or she was too tired. She did not actually know when she fell asleep in Ernest’s hug.

She even had a good sleep until the next morning.

Florence opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent. After being a blur for a second, she finally came back to her senses.

When she wanted to raise her hand, her arm had touched something. It was a comfortable, smooth, and warm feeling. It seemed like human skin…

Suddenly, she was stunned and she felt nervous. She immediately became clear-headed.

She turned her head stiffly and looked at her side. She saw Ernest’s extremely handsome face and his bright eyes.

He was looking at her and it seemed that he was showing a faint smile.

“Are you awake?”

“I, I am awake…”

Why were they in the same blanket?

And they were wearing so little… they were not even wearing pyjamas.

It was like there was a string trembling vigorously in her mind and it was almost broken.

She was extremely shy and embarrassed. She hurriedly pulled the blanket and wanted to get up. At the moment, Ernest’s strong arm was on her waist and she suddenly could not move.

Ernest looked at Florence leisurely while supporting his head with his hand. His handsome face moved closer to her.

His voice was deep and sexy.

“I had become a heating pad for you for the whole night. Are you leaving without giving me any gratitude?”

“Then, how should I thank…”

Florence was extremely nervous as if she was getting crazy.

She could clearly smell Ernest’s good body smell and see the well-built body below his clavicle at such a close distance…

“I will take it myself.”

Ernest’s pressed lips seemed like showing a smile.

Then, he tilted his body, and his thin lips kissed Florence’s forehead.

Florence was suddenly stunned like a wooden log.

Did Ernest kiss her?

Not in a situation that a man and a woman were staying together under such sexual tension, but, in early of the morning…

The soft kiss on her forehead was like a morning kiss.

What, what was he thinking about?

Timothy Reid was indeed here early in the morning. Ernest walked out of the tent first and asked Timothy to bring two sets of new clothes.

Florence got on the yacht after changing the clothes and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Although she had only gone out for a day and a night, the day was enriching. However, the night had boggled Florence’s mind. She did not even dare to look at Ernest.

Her mind was extremely confused.

Florence and Ernest went back to the hotel together. When they reached the entrance of the hotel, Florence saw Cooper Scott.

His facial expression looked bad. He kept making calls as if he was very anxious.

“Cooper, what happened?”

When Cooper saw Florence, a joyful look was seen in his eyes and he took big steps towards her.

His voice could not hide his excitement, “You finally come back. I could not find and call you last night. I thought something had happened to you.”

After a while, he carefully looked at Florence’s body from top to bottom.

“Where did you go last night? Are you fine?”

“I am fine. My phone got into the water. Sorry for making you worry.”

Florence smiled and her heart felt warm for Cooper’s concern.

Although they had not spent much time together, Cooper treated her really good and he was a true friend.

Cooper finally felt relieved after seeing Florence being fine. He almost went crazy as he could not find Florence the whole night. He had almost used all his power to look for her.

Seeing Florence and Cooper’s close and unrestrained relationship, Ernest showed a sullen face and felt unhappy.

He said coldly, “She was staying with me. She will be fine.”

Therefore, you should not worry about it.

Cooper was shocked and the worries in his heart disappeared. It seemed like he only noticed Ernest.

He was standing beside Florence. Although there was some distance, men’s sharp and threatening instinct made him feel that Ernest’s posture seemed like he wanted to own Florence.

He slightly frowned and asked, “Were you staying together last night?”

“No…” Florence wanted to deny subconsciously but she recalled that she was indeed staying with Ernest the whole night. They even slept together.

Her face could not help but become hot. She simply found a poor excuse, “Yesterday, Ernest and I went to settle some matters.”

Matters that had to be settled together at night?

Cooper gave a complicated look to Florence.

Florence’s face was blushed and she was too shy to talk about it again. She changed the subject and asked, “How is the investigation?”

“Channing Lee has been found”

Cooper said and looked at Ernest as if he was thinking of something. Then, he continued to say, “He has already confessed that someone gave him money to do that. However, he doesn’t know who it is. He only received the message and money. The investigation team is looking for clues through the payment account.”

Florence felt relieved and now she was clean and she could continue to take part in Ovi Fashion Design Contest.

It had only been two days. She still had chances to make it to the next contest if she hurried up.

“Let’s go and find Director to get the contest rule.”

Cooper said, “I have gotten it for you.”

“Haha, thank you so much. You are so dependable.”

Florence laughed as she was extremely happy. She turned her head towards Ernest and said, “Mr. Hawkins, I am going to do my work now.”

Seeing Florence and Cooper standing together, Ernest’s facial expression did not look good.

He said coldly, “Go ahead.”

“Bye, Mr. Hawkins.”

Florence was in a good mood as she waved to Ernest while smiling. Then, she walked into the hotel.

She asked Cooper while walking, “Where did you put the information?”

“In my room.”

Before Cooper left, he gave Ernest a complicated look.

Ernest opened his eyes and looked back at him coldly as if he was giving him a warning.

It seemed that flares could be seen because of the friction in the air.

The hostility faded quietly.

When the people at the entrance left, two women finally came out from a hidden corner of the hall.

Isabel Hopkins looked at where Florence had left, her pretty face looked ferocious.

Evelyn Wallace’s facial expression did not look good too. She scolded while glaring at Isabel.

“Didn’t you swear that they will not be able to find Channing Lee? How is Channing found by them only after two days!?”

“Originally, it would not be that easy to find Channing…”

Isabel’s vicious facial expression looked a little scared, “However, I did not expect Mr. Hawkins would actually help Florence like this.”

She had already hidden Channing and prepared to send him out. Yet, Ernest was willing to use so much power to make such huge moves.

Locking and searching through the city to catch Channing.

Evelyn gritted her teeth as she was jealous. She had planned carefully for so many years to marry Cooper. She finally got Cooper’s heart and she was proposed by him.

However, it all failed in the engagement ceremony. She was one step away from being a wife in a rich and powerful family.

She hardly had a chance to be a part of the rich and powerful family. Yet, Florence easily made Ernest and Cooper, these two outstanding men, stay around her.

“Why can she do that?” Evelyn had not reconciled as she yelled with a deep voice. “I will make Florence lose everything! Since two men are staying around her, I will let her die for two-timing!”
