Chapter 108: Did the Crayfish Offend You?


    At the crayfish shop of the night meal restaurant, Florence was holding a red crayfish. She jerked and


    separated the crayfish’s head from the body. She then crushed its shell brutally and plucked the flesh.


    Phoebe who was sitting opposite her looked at her with a frightened look. She was only eating crayfish,


    but it seemed like she was chopping and eating a gigantic meat.


    “Flory, what’s wrong? Who’s made you unhappy?” Did she really need to go as far as releasing her


    anger on the crayfish? “Who else except that jerk? Ernest Hawkins, I only realize he’s actually such a


    bastard today.” Florence shoved the crayfish flesh into her mouth and bit it hard as if she was biting


    someone.


    Phoebe’s face twitched as she watched her taking another crayfish, pulled the head and tore the shell.


    “What has he done?” With a crack, Florence directly squeezed and broke the crayfish’s head into


    pieces. She said indignantly, “Not only that he refused to cancel the marriage with me, he even wanted


    me to marry him on behalf of Gemma Marlon and be the surrogate mother for their child.”


    “What? That’s too ridiculous!” Phoebe pped the table with rage. “You mustn’t consent to this.”


    “Of course I won’t, I only want to cancel the marriage as soon as possible and stay away from them.”


    Florence then crushed the crayfish’s shell. She had had enough staying between Ernest and Gemma


    all these time as an awkward third wheel.


    Phoebe nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you should cancel the marriage as soon as possible. Didn’t he


    say the fake engagement onlyst for a month back then? Now that he had dyed this matter that


    long, you have to force him to cancel the marriage no matter how this time.”


    Cooper came to the crayfish shop to look for Florence, wanting to say goodbye to her before he left, yet


    he never expected that he would hear such a thing. The engagement between Florence and Ernest


    was fake? Their engagement was fake?


    He was instantly filled with a rush of joy and he was so happy that he jumped without caring for his


    image. He who had had a leaden heart was instantly brightened up with hope. He rushed over,


    dragged Florence up from her seat and asked her with excitement, “Is it true? That the engagement


    between you and Ernest Hawkins is fake?”


    Florence was not aware of his sudden action and she was so shocked that the crayfish dropped from


    her hand onto the ground. She stared at Cooper with a dumbfounded look. Why was he that excited?


    Or was he angry because she had lied to him back then? Since he had already heard their


    conversation, Florence could only exin. “It’s true that our engagement is fake, but since it’s meant to


    be a secret, so I didn’t tell you back then.”


    To Cooper, Florence’s words were the most delightful thing he had heard in this world. “Awesome!” He


    hugged her with surprise and whirled her around with excitement. Florence lost her bnce abruptly


    and she put her hands instinctively on his shoulder, leaving oil stains the size of a palm on his shirt at


    once. Her face twitched and she quickly spoke, “Let me down, Cooper.”


    Cooper only let her down after whirling for a few times. He was reluctant to let go of her when he


    hugged her but Florence forcibly pulled his arms apart. She plummeted onto the couch and threw the


    gloves that were full of oil stain away after taking them off. She looked at him with an upset look and


    asked, “What is wrong with you?” She felt dizzy from the whirl and she was nearly scared to death.


    Cooper sat down beside her with a grin. His eyes seemed to fill with stars that appeared at night when


    he looked at her. “I’m happy.”


    “Are you mad?” Florence shot him a re. She raised her hand and pointed at the two stains on his


    shoulder. “It’s you whoe close to me, I’m not responsible topensate for that.”


    “I don’t need you topensate.” Cooper did not care about the stains at all and his eyes were still


    brimmed with happiness when he looked at her. A smile uncontrobly broke upon his lips. Luckily he


    hade to say goodbye to her before he left, if not he would not hear her words.


    Florence was stunned to see him smiling so happily. She suspected he was drunk or he had had a


    fever. She then extended her hand and touched his forehead. His forehead temperature was normal.


    Could it be something had gone wrong in his brain?


    Seeing her baffled look, Cooper grabbed her hand and said with a gentle tone, “I’m alright. I’m really


    happy. I’m really happy to know that your engagement is fake.” Florence looked at him in a daze. Why


    was he so happy when her engagement was fake? Was he gloating over her misfortune?


    Phoebe was watching both of them. Her reaction was faster than Florence and she was sensitive


    enough to discover something. She smiled and teased, “This handsome guy over here, could it be that


    you like Flory?” Cooper’s ears inevitably went red. Florence quickly argued, “Stop it, we’re only


    friends…”


    “It’s true, I really like you.” Cooper interrupted with a low voice. He held Florence’s hand and gazed at


    her. His eyes were determined and full of love that almost made one’s heart moved. Florence was


    totally dumbfounded and she looked at him incredulously.


    If Ernest liking her was the most impossible thing she thought, then Cooper liking her was another.


    After all, she knew about his rtionship and love with Evelyn, and she had even seen both of them


    hugging together beside the road back then.


    “Cooper, I know you’re really kind to me. Although my engagement is fake, and I’m probably worth


    being sympathized, you don’t need to console me like that, really.” Cooper was startled. He did not


    expect she would answer him like that. Phoebe stared at Florence with an awkward look. She was


    afraid that only she would think other’s confession was just to console her.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Yet Cooper was not annoyed, he looked at Florence with eyes filled with love and said slowly in an


    exceptionally serious way, “Flory, I’ve actually liked you way back then, it’s just that I thought you’re


    Ernest Hawkins’ fiancée and I thought you both love each other, therefore I didn’t dare to say it all the


    time.” Seeing him that serious, Florence was startled. She said, “I saw you being drunk that night, and


    you were hugging with Evelyn Wace by the road.”


    “I was drunk because of you.” Cooper’s reply was straightforward without single hesitance. Florence


    waspletely stunned, she then finally realized that Cooper’s confession might be real. What was


    going on today? She was proposed by Ernest first. Although it was fake, she was still proposed. And


    then without even finishing her night meal, she was confessed by Cooper.


    Cooper was holding her hand and gazing at her. “Flory, I like you, could you give me a chance?”


    Florence stared at him in a daze. She found it slightly hard to ept when her friend suddenly became


    her admirer. She had never thought of being with Cooper before that. She shook her head with an


    awkward look. “I always treat you as a friend.”


    “Friends could be lovers too. Don’t worry, I can give you time to adapt to it.” There was a gentle


    smile on Cooper’s face and he looked cheerful and handsome.
