My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 143: The Way Ordinary People Fall in Love

Could it be that as she had been betrayed by Grayson, she was habitually suspicious of all men and thought that a rich man with good marriage conditions like him would treat on her in the end?

She really didn’t know him well. Were he and Grayson of the same kind of people?

Ernest was a little upset and even had the impulse to find out Grayson out and give him a hard clout.

Seeing Ernest's sullen and gloomy face, Florence subconsciously felt a little bit guilty. Fearing that he would suddenly get angry or do other things to her, she subconsciously wanted to distance herself away from him in case that he would vent his anger on her.

Florence planned to go out. But just as she turned around, she unexpectedly saw Anthony standing at the door.

He stood at the door straightly and it looked like that he had stood there for a long while.

Florence was a bit stunned and asked without a second thought, "Mr. Brooks, how long have you been here?"

Being discovered, a touch of awkwardness flashed across Anthony's face.

He replied solemnly, "Not so long. But I witness the whole process of Mr. Hawkins’ proposal and knew that he was refused again."

Florence was rendered speechless.

Ernest's face instantly became even gloomier.

During the past 20 more years, he had never failed to get what he wanted and had achieved all his goals. However, he experienced failure for the first time because he had put great efforts in preparing

the proposal but Florence refused him in the end.

Nevertheless, he had shown great resilience in the face of these obstacles recently, and had been rejected by Florence several times.

He almost accustomed to it.

Even the anger and depression that surged in his heart after being rejected for the first time didn’t show up again...

The atmosphere became embarrassing. Anthony touched his nose and said, "Ahem, today's press conference has come to a successful conclusion, so I prepared a celebration banquet which will be held in the evening. It’s almost the time and we should go there."

"Oh, okay."

Florence quickly agreed as it was really a bit awkward for her to stay here now.

So she took the lead to go out.

Ernest's expression was so hideous. He shot a cold glance at Anthony and then walked out.

Anthony felt his heart missing one beat and his back broke out in cold sweats when he realized that he seemed to have offended Ernest just now.

Although Ernest was his brother, Anthony knew deep down that Ernest was mean and his way of doing things was quite inhumane. So Ernest would definitely find a chance to retaliate against him later.

Since that was the case…

Anthony hurriedly walked to Ernest's side and whispered, “I agree with you. Florence has no reasons to reject you. She may have already fallen for you, but she doesn’t dare to accept it at present. It’s

probably because you are too noble. When a man was too outstanding, a woman will fear that she cannot handle with him. Moreover, the social morality in this aspect is poor as many dudes often hook up with several women at the same time and marital infidelity is so normal.”

So he would not be accepted by Florence simply because of his family background and social status?

Ernest's face became more hideous and his gaze towards Anthony turned exceptionally cold. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“You’d better shut up.”

Anthony was rendered speechless. He analyzed the situation for him out of kindness, but why Ernest felt offended again?

It was really hard to be a kind man nowadays, and it was even harder to be a thoughtful brother.

But if things continued to progress like this, Ernest would definitely take revenge on him in the future. Therefore, Anthony braced himself under Ernest’s cold gaze and continued, “Ernest, the old saying goes like this: the onlookers see the most of the game. Moreover, I relatively have abundant experience in the romance. If you want to win Florence’s heart, you have to change yourself.”

Ernest curled his lips into a straight line and said nothing.

Anthony immediately continued, "You have to humble yourself and try to be an ordinary person. You can do something romantic that ordinary couple always does during a date, like watching movies, shopping, and going to the amusement park… Something like these. You should make Florence feel that although you have a high social status, you’re still an ordinary man.”

Ernest's eyes lit up.

Watching movie? What he watched had always been the fluctuations in the stock market.

Shopping? All of his things were customized and were delivered to his home directly.

Going to the amusement park? He didn’t even know what an amusement park was.

Anthony thought that his idea was very wonderful and looked at Ernest with anticipation, “My ideas are definitely feasible. Would you like to have a try?”

‘If you accept my ideas, please don’t take revenge on me later.’ Anthony added inwardly.

Ernest shot a cold glance at him and squeezed out two words with disdain, “Childish.”

Anthony was rendered speechless.

The celebration banquet was held in a super 5-star hotel under the control of the Hawkins Group. Naturally, they booked the whole hotel.

Those who came were all people attending the celebration banquet.

At the moment, Charlotte was arguing with a security guard angrily at the entrance of the hotel.

"I'm really Florence's sister and I come to celebrate for my sister’s success. Please let me in."

The security guard stood at the door with a serious face.

"Miss, I'm sorry, you don’t have an invitation letter, so we can't let you in."

They could not allow anyone irrelevant to come into the hotel now.

"My sister is the protagonist for today’s banquet. She invited me to attend the banquet. Why do I need an invitation letter? Can't you be flexible?"

"This is our duty. Please leave, Miss."

The security guard's face became more serious, and his tone got cold as he intended to drive Charlotte away directly.

Charlotte was infuriated. She got to know the venue for tonight's celebration banquet with great efforts. But she hadn’t expected that she would be blocked by the security guard at the entrance.

These people were as blind as bats.

“I will definitely teach them a lesson after marrying Ernest!” Charlotte thought to herself angrily.

She then turned around and produced her phone to call Florence.

The call was connected after a long while.

The moment Florence answered the call, Charlotte hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm at the entrance of the hotel of your celebration banquet, but the security guard refused to let me in because I don’t have an invitation letter. So please come to the entrance to take me in."

Florence, who was at the other end of the phone, hesitated for a while and then replied, “How comes that you come to this hotel.”

“I felt delighted when seeing the news that your press conference was a complete success so I came here to celebrate it for you. It’s such a big event, and with I, your sister, by your side, it will be more complete.”

“But the attendees are all my colleagues and partners and you don’t know them. How about this? You can come back first and celebrate it for me when I come back.”

“But I’m now at the entrance of the hotel and I don’t have the key for the villa…” Charlotte said with grievance and it sounded like she was going to cry.

Florence was in a dilemma.

A touch of gloominess flashed across Charlotte's face. Florence didn’t want to recognize her as her sister after becoming popular and entering the upper class? She thought that she was a shame to her?

The more Charlotte thought about this, the more envious she became. Her voice became more aggrieved, “Sister, I don’t know where to go and I haven’t had dinner yet.”

Florence sighed and said to the other person.

She then said to Charlotte, “Then come to my celebration banquet. I will ask Shirley to take you in.”

Let someone else to take her in?

Charlotte felt uncomfortable again. Florence really became arrogant now and she even refused to come out to pick her up in person.

However, although she bore such thought in mind, she still replied in a sweet voice, “Okay.”
