Chapter 294: Ernest Hawkins Likes You


    Florence could not tell what her feeling was towards him. Her first impression of him was he was


    freakish and horrifying. Yet she then realized he was not that freakish as she imagined, and he had


    specially delivered medicine for her. He cared for her and had not done anything to harm her.


    However, his behavior still did not look normal and was extremely unusual. Florence could not predict


    what he was going to do next too. She was not brave enough to approach him, but she did not keep a


    toorge distance away from him either.


    “It’s not that hard to find you,” Collin replied casually with a slight evasive look due to guilt. He would


    not tell her that he had been paying attention to her all the time. What if she treated him as a stalker?


    Although City N was big, it was pretty easy to find someone if you wanted it.


    Florence felt something was wrong, yet she could not tell exactly what. She then gave up. She asked


    straightforwardly, “What do you want?”


    “I heard that you’re going to organize a wedding with Ernest Hawkins?” Collin was wearing a smile as if


    he was just gossiping. Florence inevitably remembered Ernest’s apathetic back and her heart ached a


    little. That marriage would be over after tonight. She shook her head. “No, that’s not true.”


    “Come on, we’re already friends, it won’t hurt to tell me the truth. Are you being embarrassed? Worried


    that I’ll get into the wedding hall without paying for the wine?” Collin continued to joke, yet he was being


    a little serious and anxious under his absent-minded attitude. The reason he suddenly came to look for


    her was because the news were all over the ce outside and he was anxious to inquire about it from


    her. He had to hear the answer from her himself.


    If she was the one he wanted to look for, he could not let her get married that easily. Florence did not


    know how to answer him. To be honest, their rtionship was not that close, but they were not that


    unfamiliar with each other too. She thought for a while and replied in a half joking manner to get away


    from the topic, “If I do get married, you’ll still be able to get over the window to have a ss of wine.”


    “How stingy, you should at least give me a wedding invitation card,” Collin replied aggrievedly. Florence


    did not ce enough trust him on him that she did not even tell him the wedding date. It seemed like


    their dispute when they first met was exactly the biggest mistake he had made in this life. “Wedding


    aside, are you free the day after tomorrow?” Florence did not have many things to do these few days


    and she nodded. “What’s wrong?”


    “Well, I have a friend who wants to meet you in person, which is on that day. Could youe?” Collin


    stared straight at her and he secretly pinched his fingers, looking nervous. Florence knew he hade


    looking for her on purpose, but she did not expect it would be such a thing. She was baffled. “Your


    friend? Why?”


    She would not know Collin if not for Ernest, and for a mysterious person who was also a legend in the


    medicinal field like Collin, his acquaintances were all brilliant people and it was impossible for her to


    know any one of them.


    “I can’t tell you at the moment.” Collin was slightly troubled and he rubbed his hands. Afraid that she


    would reject, he then quickly added, “You’ll know once you see him. And I promise I’ll not get over the


    window and suddenly show up to disturb you ever again after you meet him.”


    Although Collin and her did not meet each other for many times, she could still sense he was having


    some purpose every time they met. She was also curious of the reason he paid so many attention to


    her. She hesitated for a while, pondered and said, “Alright, I’ll meet him. But at a crowded ce.” She


    added firmly for her own safety.


    Collin did not mind that at all. As if he had finally taken a load off his mind, he replied cheerfully, “Great,


    then we’ll meet at Restaurant 153 the day after tomorrow.” Restaurant 153 located at the busy street


    area and there would not be any reserved area during peak hours. The restaurant was packed with


    customers every single day. No one could have done anything illegal there.


    Collin left with delight when he had achieved his purpose and he did not even enter the house.


    Florence only noticed she had talked to him at the entrance for a long while when she opened the door


    after watching him left. He was still considered a guest after all. She felt slightly embarrassed. The


    things happening recently had greatly troubled her and her mind was a mess. She patted her forehead


    with grievance and walked in with a gloomy heart.


    Her phone rang when she lied on the bed at night. She took it up and was surprised to see Harold’s


    name on top. Harold was Ernest’s friend and they still had quite a good rtionship after getting in


    touch for a few times. They were still considered friends but basically, they would not get in touch in


    private in normal time.


    Now that she had cancelled the marriage with Ernest, as his best friend, it looked like he would not get


    in touch with her anymore. Florence’s mind jumbled up with thoughts and she only picked it up after a


    while. She could instantly hear Harold’s emotional tone of voice from the other end of call. “Florence, I


    heard that you want to cancel the marriage with Ernest, is it true?”


    “Yes,” Florence replied softly. Harold became more emotional at once. “Why? Don’t you like Ernest?”


    Florence was startled and she remembered what Phoebe had said. It was Harold who spread the


    matter out, and he had thought the one she liked was Ernest, just like what Ernest did. Although that


    was true…


    Florence gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t like him.” Harold fell into silence. He suspected he had


    heard it wrongly. She had fallen in love and the one she fell in love with was not Ernest? That was


    impossible! Was there any man in this world that was more brilliant and attractive than Ernest?

    Harold said, “Florence, did you say that out of any concern? If you do, you can tell me. I’m still the son


    of the Hammer family and I can help you.” His words made her felt touched. Although she had


    cancelled the marriage with Ernest, Harold who was his best friend did not hate her nor did he stay


    from her.


    “I really don’t, Harold. We cancelled the marriage because both me and Mr. Hawkins think we don’t suit


    each other,” Florence exined patiently and also to maintain Ernest’s pride. “That’s not possible!”


    Harold rebutted with assertion. “Ernest likes you so much, he won’t think that you don’t suit him. I’ve


    seen it all these time, he had tried hard to marry you.”


    “What?” Florence widened her eyes with shock. What did Harold say? He said Ernest liked her? And


    had even tried hard to marry her? Did she hear it wrongly…“You don’t know?” Harold sounded even


    more surprised than her at the other end of the call. He was quick-witted enough to understand the


    main problem and he asked with utmost surprise, “He’s courted you for so long, and he actually didn’t


    confess to you?”
