My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 838

Florence also agreed with this arrangement. In this way, Roan will not be able to bring Collin and Phoebe close, and Phoebe could stay away from Stanford to avoid the awkwardness.

It was good anyway.

But the man beside her looked a little somber.

Florence looked at him with confusion and asked in a low voice,

"Ernest, what's wrong?"

Everything went fine just now, why was he suddenly unhappy?

Ernest looked unhappy, he pursed his lips and whispered at length,

"Your brother's marriage issue must be solved first."

"Why?"

Florence looked baffled and didn't understand why Ernest suddenly mentioned this.

Ernest sighed, pulled Florence over and gently grabbed her hand.

He said, "In case he doesn't know absence makes the heart grow fonder."

Florence was startled. Only then did she understand what Ernest meant.

‘Was it because he’s reluctant that they have to sleep separately at night?’

‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder?’

Florence couldn't help laughing. She took his arm intimately and said like a spoiled child,

"How do you want to solve my brother's marriage issue then?"

Regarding this issue, Florence and Victoria had basically held a desperate attitude. They were afraid that Stanford who was hopeless in romance was going to be single all his life.

He had set the bar high and he was not interested in women.

Even Phoebe who was such a nice lady was annoyed and made desperate by him. He was too proud and they feared that no other women in this world could trigger his interest.

To solve his marriage issue was undoubtedly a world problem that ordinary people dared not challenge easily.

But since Ernest had mentioned it, could it be he had an idea?

Ernest glanced at Phoebe and said unfathomably,

"You'll know soon."

That meant he was not going to say that now.

Florence was anxious to know. How would Ernest plan to solve her brother's marriage issue?

She could hardly imagine the picture of a woman standing close to her brother.

However, if it was other woman, what would happen to Phoebe?

Even though she didn't like Stanford anymore, he used to be the one who stayed in her heart before. Seeing him with other woman, Phoebe must be upset.

Thinking of this, Florence pulled Ernest's arm and whispered,

"You don’t have to solve my brother’s marriage issue that quickly. You... Don't make Phoebe upset."

Ernest pursed his lips and replied meaningfully, "I know what I’m gonna do."

They put the suitcase in the room and unpacked it. It was almost time for lunch.

Roan was very enthusiastic and he asked the chefs to cook a large table of dishes, as if they were holding a feast.

As soon as they came here, they greeted him warmly.

"Come and eat, please sit here."

Under Roan's special arrangement, Collin was forced to sit next to Phoebe.

Both of them were stunned. They looked at each other and showed their disgust towards each other.

As for Stanford, he sat opposite to Phoebe and coincidentally saw Phoebe and Collin looking at each other.

They were very close to each other.

His eyes suddenly went gloomy and he looked even more upset.

Roan glanced anxiously at Stanford and shook his head aggrievedly. Florence's brother indeed had a bad temper.

He was always unhappy.

He was unlike Collin who looked cheerful and was pleasing to the eye. Such a lively child suited Phoebe well.

"Phoebe, we need to treat our guest well. Please pick some food for Collin."

"Pick him food?"

Phoebe widened her eyes in surprise.

She looked at Collin again. She didn’t even have the desire to move her chopsticks, she was greatly reluctant to pick him food.

Not to mention this guy had threatened her yesterday.

Seeing Phoebe not making a move, Roan thought she was shy and he nudged her arm.

"You used to be a straightforward kid, now you’re shy? It’s okay, no one will laugh at you. You should pick food for Collin more to get used to it in the future."

‘Get used? Get used to what?’

Phoebe really felt that her temples were throbbing.

She wanted to retort that Collin had hands and he could do it himself, but seeing her father’s stubborn look, she was afraid that he would say something ridiculous more, and she could only give in.

She bit the bullet, took a few cabbages and threw them into Collin's bowl. "Enjoy your food."

Collin looked at the cabbages in his bowl and the corner of his mouth twitched. He seriously doubted that the cabbages which were full of her resentment were poisoned.

Meanwhile, he sensed an oppressive aura coming opposite him.

Collin looked up and met Stanford's icy look. His look was like a real blade, which was going to cut him up thousands of times.

Collin couldn't help shuddering.

He really wanted to tell him he was innocent!

However, someone was trying his best to send him to the guillotine.

Roan looked at him with a smile and said, "Collin, why don't you eat? You like to eat cabbage, don’t you? Phoebe’s specially picked it for you."

The corner of Collin’s mouth twitched. He was really worried that if he took this bite, he would die.

He didn't want to see cabbage all his life anymore.

Under Roan's enthusiastic eyes, Collin held the chopsticks with difficulty, and he hesitated whether to eat or not.

Should he slip away at this time?

Yes, it was the safest to slip away!

Collin immediately wanted to cover his stomach with his hand. Before he could let out an ‘Ouch’, Ernest who was sitting on one side spoke,

"I suppose you're not used to letting others pick food for you when you’ve been living abroad. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and since it's Phoebe who picked the food for you, you should eat it."

Everyone stared at Ernest with eyes widened and mouth agape.

They had never thought that Ernest would agree with Roan. What did he mean?

Without waiting for everyone to understand, Ernest said to Roan blandly,

"I’ve spent quite a lot of time with Collin, he’s a nice guy. He is capable and responsible, he could be a good husband."

His words won Roan's heart.

He laughed with satisfaction and nodded again and again. "Yes, I also think Collin is an excellent guy and he’s worth trusting for marriage."

"..." Collin secretly wailed at his bad luck.

"..." Phoebe wondered whether Ernest had lost his mind.

"..." Florence thought that something must be wrong when Ernest behaved so aberrantly.

Stanford pulled down his face.

Collin was the one he brought up, it was okay to praise him, but with Roan and Ernest's praise and look, were they planning to let Phoebe marry Collin?

How, ridiculous!

Roan didn't notice the strange atmosphere at all. He was in a very good mood. He smiled and took Phoebe's hand and said with great sincerity,

"Phoebe, you've come of age, it's time to talk about marriage. Collin is a good young man, you and him..."

Suddenly, the sound of chopsticks being slapped on the table was heard.

Stanford stood up with a gloomy look, and he looked extremely bleak.

"I have no appetite, enjoy your food."
