My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 133

Florence hastily shook her head, “Nope. I’m just going to have dinner with a friend. We will feel unease if you’re present.”

Ernest narrowed his eyes. Although Florence didn’t say it clearly, he could figure out that she didn’t want him to come with her.

He was still not an important person in her heart.

If a man brought a woman to see his brothers, then it meant that he regarded the woman as his girlfriend. He had admitted Florence’s identity before, but Florence hadn’t admitted his identity.

But Ernest was not in a hurry. He had much time after all.

He curled his lips into a straight line and said in a low voice, “Come back early.”

Florence subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief after getting his approval.

Florence added, “Charlotte will stay at home. You can call her if you need help.”

Even if he needed help, he would not found other woman.

But Ernest didn’t spill out his inner thought and simply nodded his head slightly.

It was half past six, the time when the sun went down.

Florence went to De Mul Restaurant which was located on the 58th floor according to the address sent by Cooper.

The walls of the restaurant were made of French windows and it looked spacious and bright. The sunlight of the setting sun happened to shone on it, enshrouding the whole restaurant with a layer of orange light.

It looked quite beautiful.

When Florence looked up, she could saw the setting sun through the windows and it was quite magnificent.

“Do you like it?”

When Florence was immersed in the beautiful scene, Cooper walked over with a bunch of roses.

He looked more handsome in a well-fitted business suit. When he walked towards her elegantly and nobly, he looked so gentleman as if he was a price walking out of a picture.

Florence was a bit dumbfounded. Cooper was really handsome.

She nodded her head with a smile, “Yeah, it’s very beautiful.”

“Sit here. I specially chose this table. It’s a good place to appreciate the setting sun.”

Ernest pointed at a table not far away. There were two sets of tableware, a bottle of champagne and several candles on the table. And in the center of the table, there was a bunch of white roses.

The surroundings of the restaurant looked good.

Florence glanced around and then pulled Cooper hesitantly.

“It must be expensive to have a meal here.”

As far as she knew, Cooper was just an assistant and his salary was not that high. As Florence often had meals with Ernest in high-end restaurants, she was vaguely clear that it was very expensive to have a meal in a high-end restaurant like this.

Even if they didn’t order too much food later, it would cost at least half of Cooper’s monthly wage to have a meal here.

“We can have dinner in an ordinary restaurant. It’s unnecessary to waste money here.”

“Are you trying to save money for me?” Cooper fixed his eyes on Florence and his eyes lit up.

Florence rolled her eyes at him, “Bullshit. I don’t want you to have instant noodles during the following days just because of treating me this meal.”

Although Florence was complaining, Cooper knew that she was caring about him.

He liked this kind of feelings.

Cooper smiled and said, “Rest assured. I have some savings and I won’t become moneyless because of this meal.”

When he was speaking, he pressed the bunch of roses into Florence’s arms and pushed her to sit down on the chair.

“Just enjoy the meal today.”

Florence glanced at Cooper worriedly. What was wrong with his mind today?

And that large bunch of roses in her arms…

A gush of complicated emotions surged in her heart.

Cooper handed the menu to Florence and asked thoughtfully, “What would you like?”

Florence opened the menu and leafed through it. She was not familiar with these high-class dishes before, but since after tasting the dishes for Ernest, she found that she had tried 80 percent of the dishes on the menu.

She was quite clear about which dish was delicious and which was not.

She leafed through the menu and then ordered the cheapest steak.

Noticing what dish Florence had ordered, Cooper smiled and teased her, “Flory, you acted like a girlfriend who was trying to save money for me.”

“If I’m your girlfriend, I will not allow you to come to this restaurant today.” Florence shot a glare at him.

She, as a friend, didn’t dare to order expensive food because she was afraid that this would cost him a lot.

“If you’re my girlfriend, I will listen to all of your words.” Cooper fixated his gaze on Florence and the emotions in his eyes were more dazzling than the setting sun.

Florence was a bit stunned.

The ambience between them suddenly became inexplicably ambiguous.

Last time when Cooper confessed his feelings for her, Florence was in a perturbed state and didn’t care too much about it. But now, Florence finally realized about his emotions from his words and the bunch of roses…

He wasn’t simply inviting her to have dinner together. Moreover, he was pursuing her.

Florence immediately felt unease when thinking of this.

Cooper seemed to notice Florence’s embarrassment. He smiled thoughtfully and naturally poured a glass of champagne and handed it to Florence.

He then gestured a waiter to come over, “I want to order food.”

When the waiter came over, the ambiguous ambience was immediately relieved.

Coopered ordered the food gentlemanly. He ordered the steak that Florence chose just now and then quickly ordered many other kinds of dishes. Each dish he ordered was delicious and expensive.

He ordered the dishes quickly as if he was quite familiar with them.

But Florence looked at him in fear. She felt that Cooper was squandering and the result of it would be that all his savings would be gone.

Was he pretending to be rich?

“Wait a minute.” Florence hastily stopped him, “It’s enough. We can’t finish them.”

“These dishes all taste good. We don’t need to finish them, just have a try.”

He ordered many expensive dishes and simply asked her to have a try and then the dishes would be thrown away?

Florence twitched her mouth and recalled that every time when she tasted the dishes for Ernest, those dishes would be thrown away after one bite.

He actually had wasted a large sum of money.

But it was Ernest who did so. He hired a high-class private chef and had a lot of money, so he didn’t need to care about it.

However, Cooper was different because he was just a worker.

“No need. I don’t like wasting food. Order the food based on our appetite.”

A gush of warmth surged in Cooper’s heart when seeing Florence’s serious look. He hesitated for a while and said, “Flory, I haven’t told you about my true identity. I’m…”

Before Cooper could finish his words, Florence’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Charlotte.

“Sorry, I need to answer a call.”

Florence picked up her phone. Before answering the call, she warned Cooper, “Stop ordering food. It’s enough.”

Cooper smiled helplessly. Florence looked really cute when she was trying to save money for him.

How would she react when she learned about his true identity?

Cooper suddenly felt curious.

Florence answered the call and asked, “Charlotte, what’s the matter?”

Charlotte’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Sister, have you arrived?”

Florence was a bit confused. So Charlotte specially called her to express her concern about her?

She asked again, “Why do you call me? Did anything happen? Did anything happen to Ernest?”

“Nope. I’m just carting about you. How’s your date with Cooper?”

Charlotte asked in a teasing tone and gossiped, “When he held you in his embrace like that yesterday, I guessed that he must have a crush on you. Today you’re dating. Sister, tell me the truth. Is Cooper the one you like?”

Florence knitted her brows when hearing her words.
