My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 193

Matthew was a shrew successful man and he figured it out instantly. He said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Hawkins, you flatter her. My wife is good, but she’s not comparable to your fiancée. Miss Fraser is beautiful and talented. She’s an exemplary person for all the women in City N. When you marry her in the future, she will definitely become your best back-up.”

Florence felt unease when she heard the blatant blandishment.

This gentleman’s words were so exaggerated.

Moreover, she was just Ernest’s female companion. If he wanted to suck up to Ernest, he should fawn on him. Why did he flatter her?

But unexpected, Ernest was pleased when he heard the words and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

Matthew and Lillian felt extremely flattered when seeing his attitude. No one in the party had been treated by Ernest like this tonight.

Other guests, who had been paying attention to them,

Those guests who came over to toast Ernest all felt jealous. If they had known this before, they would choose to toast Ernest later. Gemma was together with Ernest before and they received cold treatment, but the situation was totally different when Florence was by Ernest’s side.

When Gemma was by his side, Ernest exuded a horrifying cold aura.

But now, when Florence was together with him, he looked amiable and happy. There was even a rarely seen smile on his face. He was much more approachable than he was in usual times.

Moreover, they just needed to flatter Florence, then their companies would have a bright future. This was a most welcome opportunity for these businessmen.

They all shifted their gazes on Florence and studied her from top to tow, respects towards Florence emerging in their minds.

They racked their brains to complement Florence in various manners. It would be good if they could please Florence.

Therefore, the things happened at the next moment bewildered Florence.

It was Ernest’s birthday party tonight and she was simply his companion, but the guests all focused on her, trying all means to suck up to her, including complimenting her and trying to start a conversation with her.

Florence even had an illusion that it was her birthday party.

But Ernest felt quite delighted and didn’t show any dissatisfaction to it at all.

Florence toasted with a guest again. She then turned her head to looked at Ernest was not bothered at all and knitted her brows.

This man used her as a shield, right?

Although she felt annoyed inwardly, she still kept her smile and entertained the guests patiently.

Ernest put a hand on Florence’s waist. He slightly stooped and then whispered in her ear in a deep voice, “Are you tired? Wanna have a rest?”

His voice was so soft. When he was speaking, his warm breath entered her ear along the cochlea. Florence felt warm and itchy.

Her ears flushed instantly and feeling unease, she moved towards the side.

“Many people are watching at us. I need to have a rest. Can you deal with them?”

“I’ll have a rest together with you.” Ernest said as if it was a reasonable thing.

Florence twitched her mouth. She really wanted to tell him that she was not the birthday person of tonight’s party.

Ernest actually regarded her as a shield!

Since she could not get rid of this, Florence planned to finish it in one go, so she shook her head, “I’m not tired and I don’t need a rest.”

Ernest fixed his gaze at Florence, his eyes unfathomable and charming.

He said smilingly, “Turns out that you care about my reputation a lot.”
