Chapter 81: Mr. Hawkins’ Trick of Dying
Early in the morning, Florence was dragged out of the bed by Melissa even before her rm clock
went off.
She washed herself in a daze, “Mom, what’s going on?”
“What does Ernest like for breakfast?”
Florence cleaned her face and answered casually, “Light dishes and porridge, or milk and sd.”
Melissa looked up and down at Florence, “Why are you so clear of it?”
Florence, who was about to brush her teeth, was froze and blushed in awkwardness.
Fearing that Melissa would think too much about it, Florence randomly found an excuse, “I’m just
improvising. Normally people like these two diets.”
“Since you’re just improvising, why did you blush?” Apparently, Melissa was not convinced as she
directly exposed Florence’s lie.
Florence’s face became even redder. She shifted to the other topic awkwardly, “It’ste now. If you
want to make breakfast, please be quick. Otherwise, I will bete for work.”
“s, my daughter is infatuated with a man.” Melissa sighed and then walked towards outside while
pretending to be depressed.
Holding the toothbrush at hand, Florence twitched her mouth corners. So what the hell had she done to
Ernest?
Florence and Ernest spent the morning under Melissa and Nichs’ ambiguous gazes.
When they finally finished the breakfast, Florence held up Ernest’s hand and rushed out of the house.
“Mr. Hawkins, I will go to walk.” Florence took a step forward after finishing the words, but was then
stopped by Ernest.
“I’ll give you a ride.” He paused and then added, “I promised your mother just now that I will ride you to
work and pick you up from work.”

Florence was choked and was lost for words.
Although Ernest was just acting in front of her parents, it felt so real that she had a feeling that she was
sold.
With Anthony’s guidance and Shirley’s help, Florence quickly got familiar with her work.
Her work today had been going smoothly and there was no ident during the day.
When she was about to get off the work, she received a WeChat message.
Ernest: [Come to the underground parking lot.]
Staring at the message, Florence was a bit stunned as she recalled what Ernest said in the morning.
Did he mean that he will really send her to work and pick her up from the work every day?
But their contract regarding their engagement would terminate three dayster. Wasn’t it a wise choice
for them to alienate each other and keep distance from each other?
She pondered for a while and then replied: [Mr. Hawkins, please don’t take my parents’ words to your
heart. I cane back by subway.]
Ernest: [I will take you to my home.]
He sent the other message after two seconds.
Ernest: [It’s time to feed the cat.]
Florence: [Didn’t I teach you how to feed it yesterday? It’s very easy. Have a try when youe back.]
Ernest: [Do I look like a person who will feed the cat?]
Although these were some simple and emotionless words, Florence could see his temperament and
arrogance through the screen.
Florence could even imagine his arrogant expressions indicating that these were what she should do.
She was rendered speechless. Having no choice, she decided to go to Ernest’s home again with a
thought that she must let Ernest try to feed the cat by himself.
After all, their rtionship woulde to an end three dayster and they would not contact each other
after the cancetion of their marriage. But who would feed the kitten thereafter?
When thinking of this, Gemma’s beautiful face shed across her mind.
Florence was a bit stunned with a gush of depression shing across her mind. Yeah, when she left,
Gemma woulde to Ernest and took her ce. She would do what she was doing now and became
his fiancée or even wife.
Time flied and three days had past.
It was on weekend when thest day of their contracted rtionship fell and Florence and Phoebe
went out to have dinner together.
Phoebe gazed at Florence and asked, “Flory, are you really going to break off your engagement with
Mr. Hawkins tomorrow? I can see that Mr. Hawkins has been treating you well recently and I feel that
he has some feelings for you. You can consider about continuing your rtionship.”
Florence shook her head. She had never considered this.
“It’s because I’m his fiancée and naturally he sometimes would pay more attention to me and take care
of me.”
“Maybe it’s because he like you?”
“He’s into someone else.” Florence replied in a firm tone, but there was a touch of inexplicable
depression in it.
She took a sip of the juice and pretended to be rxed, “If my guess is right, he will be together with
that woman after the cancetion of our engagement.”
Phoebe was lost for words as she hadn’t expected this. But why hadn’t she heard anything about this
from Harold back then?
When she had chitchats with Harold back then, she could clearly perceive that Ernest had some
feelings for Florence.
It seemed like she had to ask Harold about thister.
Phoebe raised the other question, “Do you know whom he takes fancy to?”
“She’s Gemma Marlon, a beautiful and graceful woman. And she’s Ernest’s childhood sweetheart.”
Florence shrugged her shoulders. Never mind, this one-month fake engagement wouldpletely
came to an end tomorrow.
She felt some inexplicable emotions in heart as some anticipation surged.
On the next day, Florence went to thepany for work, but she couldn’t calm down herself for the
whole day as her mind was filled with matters rted to Ernest.
She thought that Ernest would take the initiative to talk to her about this matter, but he didn’t show up
until it was almost time to get off the work.
When Harold came to her office, Florence asked in a casual tone, “Do you know what Mr. Hawkins is
busy with now?”
“He’s on a business trip.”
As if he had expected this question from Florence, Harold gave a reply naturally.
Florence was dumbfounded. Why was he on a business trip today?
“When will hee back?”
“Maybe several dayster.”
Florence was lost for words. Then what about the cancetion of their engagement?
She was a bit depressed. But after pondering for a long while, she still took out her phone and sent a
WeChat message to Ernest.
Florence: [Mr. Hawkins, are you free now?]
But Ernest, who used to reply her message instantly, didn’t reply the message even after several hours.
Florence could only console herself that it was because he was busy with his work for the business trip.
In the evening, Ernest finally replied the message.
It was a concise message. [I’m very busy. Remember to feed the kitten.]
Florence was rendered speechless. Staring at the message, Florence found it hard to text the words
she intended to say to him before.
Ernest’s business tripsted for several days.
Florence nervously expected him to cancel the engagement on the first day, but gradually epted the
fact that he would not be able toe back recently and the cancetion would have to be dyed.
Now she had to go to his house to feed the kitten every day.
The little kitten became clingier to her. Every time when Florence went to the house, the kitten would
excitedly pounce into her embrace and rub against her, and when she was about to leave, it would
cling to her leg with a pitiful look as if it was abandoned by her.
Florence felt sorry when looking at it. She felt even distressed when thinking that she would note
to see this kitten several dayster.
But the kitten belonged to Ernest, not her.
Having waiting for Ernest withplicated emotions for several days, he finally came back.
Florence then went to his office with an excuse of work-rted affairs.
