My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 278: She Seemed to Have a Crush on Him

Under everyone’s gaze, Florence was carried by Ernest in his arms all the way out of the banquet hall.

When he strode out of the door and disappeared into those people’s sights, Florence finally couldn’t feel those heated gazes.

Looking at the man who was so close to her, she felt that her heart was hammering violently.

She said in a weak tone, “Well... You can put me down now.”

Ernest paused his steps, but he didn’t put her down.

Lowering his head, he looked at the woman in his arms deeply.

He said in a low and serious voice, “Keep your distance from Reynold Myron in the future.”

This was the first time that he gave her such a request clearly and so seriously.

Florence was taken aback for a moment. She felt surprised.

Without thinking too much, she blurted out, “Are you jealous?”

After finishing her questions, Florence realized what she had asked. She blushed immediately.

She was his nominal fiancée, so she was part of Ernest’s dignity. If such a scandal occurred, he would be the humiliated one. After all, no man was willing to be cheated on.

It would be natural for him to warn her. He must have done it for the sake of his dignity.

Florence believed that she had flattered herself when asking such a question.

With a blushed face, she wanted to explain. However, she saw the man’s pressed thin lips part.

Then he uttered a word that shocked her, “Yes.”

He glinted at her in seriousness.

Florence gaped.

She thought that she had misheard something, so she mistook his answer.

Otherwise, as a superior man, how could Ernest admit that he was jealous?

He was Ernest Hawkins, the emperor-liked man!

Looking at Florence’s changing expression, Ernest frowned slightly. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Staring at her, he added, “Keep your distance from other men. Otherwise, I’ll make them vanished directly.”

It was an aggressive threat.

It also proved his answer ... Mr. Hawkins was jealous.

Florence’s lips parted, but she couldn’t utter a word. She was so shocked that her mind went blank.

She didn’t know how to react.

However, her heart was almost lost control ... it hammered so violently that it seemed to fly out of her chest and get close to the man.

...

Florence was in a daze all the way. She didn’t know how she was sent back to her room by Ernest.

After he had left for a long while, she finally returned to her senses.

However, Ernest’s handsome face kept wandering in her mind and his words kept reechoing in her ears.

... “Keep your distance with other men. Otherwise, I’ll make them vanished directly.”

He was jealous.

He was jealous because of her.

Upon hearing his rude warning, she didn’t feel angry. Instead, she felt so sweet in her heart as if it was fulfilled with the honey.

“Swoosh...”

Florence inhaled deeply. Pressing her chest, she felt that her heart still hammering happily.

She almost couldn’t deceive herself again. She seemed to have an uncontrollable feeling toward Ernest.

It seemed that she had a crush on him.

Florence blushed. Her breath was sped up. She was still uncertain yet.

She had been warning herself and distancing herself from him again and again. How could she still have a crush on this man?

However, she realized that her heart was uncontrollable as if it was an unchained wild horse.

She refused her reaction.

She didn’t want to go on in this way.

She decided to confirm her guess.

After taking several deep breaths, Florence tried to calm herself down. Then she pulled out her cell phone and sent Phoebe a WeChat message.

Florence: “Phoebe, are you there?”

Phoebe replied immediately: “Babe, I’m here. What’s wrong? Do you miss me now?”

Florence: “I want to ask you about something.”

Phoebe: “Go ahead. What’s up? I’ll tell you every detail if I know.”

Florence grabbed her phone tightly. She felt flustered and nervous.

After hesitating for a moment, she sent a message.

Florence: “Do you have any method to ensure if you have a crush on someone?”

Phoebe: “What? Why do you suddenly ask such a question? Don’t you know clearly what it feels like to have a crush on someone?”

Florence used to be in love with Grayson for several years, so Phoebe supposed that she should know what it felt like when she had a crush on someone.

Although she had experienced it, Florence found it so different this time.

When she fell in love with Grayson back then, it was because he treated her very well. She also thought that he was a nice man and had a crush on him. Hence, she agreed to become his girlfriend.

When getting along with him for several years, most of the time they were quite harmonious and happy.

Florence knew what it felt like to like someone.

However, her feelings for Ernest were so different. She found her feelings were controlled by him. She couldn’t help but having a crush on him. When she was with him, her heart always hammered as if she lacked the oxygen.

Florence didn’t feel so mentally stimulated when facing Grayson.

She thought if she didn’t fall in love with Ernest, probably she was sick.

After thinking it through, Florence told Phoebe everything without hiding from her.

Florence: “I know what it feels like when liking someone, but this time is so different. I’m not sure if I like him. Phoebe, I want to confirm my feelings.”

Phoebe: “You like him but you can’t confirm your feelings. Flory, are you sure that it’s not the love?”

Reading the line on the cell phone screen, Florence was startled. Her heart almost stopped beating.

Love? How could it be...

Phoebe: “Flory, are you still there? Did I get straight to the point? By the way, to ensure if you like someone or not, I have an idea.”

Florence: “What is it?”

Phoebe: “I have a small quiz containing all questions about the romance. I’ll send the quiz to you. Just do it one after another. If you achieved a mark that’s higher than sixty points, you sure have a crush on the man.”

Florence’s mouth corners twitched. Wasn’t this kind of quiz popular in schoolgirls? She wondered how accurate it would be.

Phoebe might still think herself a schoolgirl, didn’t she?

Florence was a bit depressed. She gave up the idea that to let Phoebe help her.

When she was about to tell Phoebe to forget about it, Phoebe sent her a file.

The title was simple and blunt ... “How Deep Is Your Love”.

At the first glimpse, Florence felt as if it was something that was promoted by some marketing account.

Florence didn’t believe it at all.

However, her finger tabbed the file gently. It was downloaded.

After the download was finished, Florence was still wondering why she would download it.

Since it was downloaded, she decided to roughly go through the questions.

For some reason, Florence tab the file open.

On the other end of the phone.

Phoebe looked through her chatting log with Florence, feeling so curious. She couldn’t help wondering whom on earth Florence had a crush on.

Judging from what she said, Phoebe believed that it was true love.

After Florence had done the quiz, Phoebe decided to answer her for more details.

While she was thinking, a man’s head approached her, clinging to hers intimately.

He looked in the direction where her cell phone screen was. “What are you looking at?”

Phoebe answered casually, “My babe has a crush on someone.”

“Your babe?”

The man’s expression changed a big. He continued, “Who is your babe?”

“Of course it’s Fl...”

Phoebe hadn’t finished her words yet but suddenly she realized something wrong. Immediately, she turned around and distanced herself from the man, pushing away the man who was approaching.

“Harold Hammer, stay away from me. Don’t take advantage of me!”
