Chapter 286: Let’s Cancel the Engagement
She had such a feeling when she opened her eyes. She felt depressed when she came back to City N.
When she was in Riverside City, she could still console herself that she could get rid of those
troublesome matters and that she did not need to think of them.
But when she came back to the city, things were getting different. She had to face those matters now.
She was driven out of the Fraser family and was now a homeless Fraser who had no family
background. Although the Hawkins family didn’t attach great importance of the match of family
backgrounds, she, a homeless woman, was not qualified to marry into such a noble and rich family.
Even if they got married, her identity would be a taint for the perfect Ernest.
Moreover, she was not a virgin. She was raped by a man in that hotel at that night. It was a nightmare
that would disturb her for the rest of her life and she could never forget it.
Ernest was a perfect man, whom should marry an immacte woman. Florence felt inferior in front of
him.
Florence was overwhelmed by bitterness and depression.
It turned out that when she realized that she had fallen for him, these negative emotions would be
infinitely amplified.
When she realized that she had fallen for him, she didn’t feel delighted; instead, she became more
inferior and poor-spirited.
It was her mistake to be fascinated by a man that she shouldn’t love.
“Mr. Hawkins.”
Florence walked into the living room of the vi and paused.
Ernest, who was about to carry the luggage cases to upstairs, paused and looked towards Florence
when he heard her voice.
He said patiently, “What’s the matter?”
Florence looked at him and gritted her teeth to suppress her turbulent thoughts. She then said in a low
voice, “Mr. Hawkins, you don’t need to carry my luggage case to upstairs. I have been living in your
home for a long time and I think I should move out now.”
Ernest wrinkled his eyebrows, a touch of unhappiness shing across his eyes.
He said in a resolute tone, “No need. You can still live in my home. You don’t need to regard yourself as
an outsider.”
They would get married soon. Since he and Florence had lived in this vi together, Ernest nned to
take this vi as their matrimonial home.
Florence shook her head and said in a determined voice, “It’s not convenient for me to live here.”
She walked towards him and reached out in an attempt to take her luggage case from him, saying, “My
things are still in the bedroom. I wille hereter and take away them.”
“I’m your fiancé. There’s no inconvenience for you to live here.”
Ernest tightened his grip on her luggage case, showing no intention to let go of it.
He looked straight into her eyes while slightly knitting his brows. Apparently, he was not in a good
mood at the moment.
He paid a special visit to Riverside to take her back, but she insisted on moving out of his home when
she returned.
Ernest seemed to realize that his attitude was way too tough. He paused and then continued, “If you’re
worried that it will be not convenient to pick you up from here to the wedding ceremony, I can tell you
that you don’t need to worry about it. I will persuade your families before we get married and you can
come back home. If you don’t want to go back, you can still live in here. I will pick you up to the
Hawkins Mansion for our wedding ceremony.”
It was impossible that Florence would be picked up from this vi for wedding ceremony and then sent
back to here again.
In the past, Ernest never paid attention to these traditional customs. However, when he decided to
marry Florence, he almost became an expert in the conventions for wedding.
In order to marry her, he had made full preparation.
Florence gazed at Ernest in astonishment. She hadn’t expected that Ernest would say these words.
This was totally different from what she had imagined!
She looked at him with surprise and asked, “We won’t get married, right?”
Ernest’s eyes became gloomy, “When did I say that?”
Florence was shocked and looked at Ernest dumbly.
She asked, “When we were in Riverside, we had a dispute at that night and alienated each other after
that. Isn’t it a tacit agreement that we’ll cancel our engagement aftering back to City N?”
Although Ernest would still take care of her and protect her after that dispute, he didn’t have any bodily
contact with her.
Florence thought that it meant he also wanted to cancel their engagement.
Ernest tightly furrowed his eyebrows. He hadn’t expected that this stupid woman would misunderstand
his tolerance!
A tacit agreement to cancel their engagement?
How could it be possible!
Ernest snatched the luggage case from Florence, “I never n to cancel our engagement.”
He said word by word with resolution.
After finishing the words, he directly headed towards upstairs with their luggage cases, showing no
intention to give the case back to Florence or to allow her to move out of his home.
Florence was nailed on the ground. After a minute, she finally pulled herself together.
It turned out that she had misunderstood him?
So Ernest still wanted to marry her?
But she didn’t n to marry him!
Although she had fallen for Ernest, she was clear that it was not a wise choice to marry him.
Florence hurriedly went upstairs.
Ernest walked into the bedroom and put down the luggage cases with a cold face.
When he was about to open the cases and put their luggage away, Florence rushed into the room.
As she ran fast just now, her face looked red at the moment.
“Mr. Hawkins.”
Ernest called him and walked towards him. She then looked at him with a serious look.
“You said you won’t cancel our engagement. Come on, are you going back on your works? You’re a
gentleman and you can’t…”

Florence suddenly paused because she realized that the man in front of her was getting gloomier and
gloomier. His expression was so hideous and dangerous.
Florence was startled by his expression and swallowed the following words.
Ernest knitted his brows tightly. Looking at the woman who was determined to cancel the engagement
with him, Ernest felt a gush of burning anger in his chest.
He thought that since he was fascinated by him, she would drop the idea of cancelling their
engagement.
But when she came back, she immediately brought up this topic. She still wanted to cancel their
engagement and even wanted to move out of his home!
Did she really like him?
Ernest pulled a long face and asked in a low voice, “So you only saw my alienation in Riverside? Don’t
you know why I keep a distance away from you?”
Florence was dumbfounded when she heard his question.
She thought that Ernest kept a distance away from her because they had a tacit agreement that they
would cancel their engagement aftering back to the city.
But Florence was confused by his attitude now. He never thought of canceling the engagement with
her, but he still kept a distance away from her. It meant that he was humoring her before in an attempt
to alleviate her anger.
This was his stalling tactics!
Florence realized that she was fooled.
But she was not angered when she realized this. Instead, she was bewildered.
Ernest didn’t n to cancel their engagement. But should she marry him?
Nheless, she had so many worries in heart and it was really hard for her to take a step.
This man deserved a better debutante.
Florence felt suppressed as if a huge stone was hanging above her heart. She gritted her teeth and
uttered a cruel answer with difficulty, “Yes.”
It was a really cruel word.
Her answer pierced into Ernest’s heart like a sword and Ernest stumbled.
He didn’t understand why Florence insisted on cancelling their engagement.
But her resolution made him heartbroken.
Florence noticed the gloominess on Ernest’s face and thought that he was angry. She also felt upset.
But she had made up her mind and she must insist on it.
