Chapter 295: Ernest’s Inner Thought


    Confess? Florence felt that to be even more unimaginable. She only spoke with difficulty after a few


    seconds, “Harold, stop joking with me.”


    “How would I dare to joke with you regarding this?” Harold exploded. As what he had expected, having


    courted her for that long, he had not even given her a simple confession. It was no wonder Florence


    only wanted to cancel the marriage. Anydy with some pride who had some hope and expectation in


    their marriage would not sacrifice their life-long happiness for a marriage without love and feelings.


    Although Harold felt aggrieved and amused at the same time, he still admired that part of Florence’s


    personality. At least she did not marry Ernest because of his power. If she did marry him in the future,


    she must have done it genuinely. Only a marriage which both people loved each other was then a


    marriage that could bring the most happiness.


    Harold tidied up his thought for a while and immediately told her with a serious look, “It’s okay,


    Florence. Having lived for that long, he’s never liked any girl, not to mention courting someone. Maybe


    to him, iming that he wants to marry you is his biggest confession to you. He did like you from the


    beginning, but he won’t force you to marry you. He wants you to marry him on your own ord, that


    you truly like him. So he’s actually been waiting for you all these time.”


    Harold’s words were exactly unbelievable bedtime stories to her. Yet every word hit her on the heart.


    Ernest liked her? Ernest really liked her? All these time, the reason every time Ernest said he wanted to


    marry her was not because of his family’s benefit, not because of his grandma, it was because he only


    wanted to marry her?


    It turned out the thing she had not dared to believe and had found to be unimaginable all the time was


    all true? Florence’s eyes zed over into space. Her mind went nk and she was slightly absent-


    minded. Her heart was racing out of control.


    “Florence, if you had actually liked Ernest even just for a bit, you should give both of you a chance, at


    least have a try?” Harold persuaded with effort. As Ernest’s best friend, it was the first time he saw him


    liked someone that much. He certainly hoped Ernest could marry Florence, or else, he felt that he


    would not see Ernest get married until the end of his life. It was a waste to see a brilliant man like


    Ernest went single all his life.


    Florence’s mind was all jumbled up. She could not make her mind clear. Knowing the truth had quite


    triggered her. It had ruined all the ns she made. Even though she knew she had fallen in love with


    Ernest, she still cancelled the marriage with determination, and the most important reason was she did


    not want a marriage deprived of love. Yet Harold now actually told her Ernest had had feelings for her


    all the time.


    She inevitably recalled what Ernest had done for her all these time. She only thought that the reason


    Ernest specially took care of her was because of their rtionship as engaged couple, now that the


    truth was revealed, she felt everything looked different when she thought back of it.


    Everything Ernest did to her had all disyed a man’s affection towards a woman. The details she had


    not dared to care of back then were all recalled at the moment. She had realized, or should she say


    confirmed, that Ernest really liked her. Those body contacts, cautious and detailed care, if he did those


    as a boyfriend, he had done way too muchpared to what Grayson did back then.


    She only then realized Ernest had stayed by her side, taking care of her and loved her all these time.


    Yet due to low self-esteem, she had thought that to be unbelievable and had ignored so many details.


    She could not help but remember after she returned to City N, Ernest asking her questions from the


    love tests with eager and hope. Yet what had she answered?


    ---No, I don’t like you, I really don’t.


    Her continuous decline had torn his heart into pieces. She only then knew why Ernest kept on


    procrastinating and refusing to cancel the marriage although the one month limit was over and she had


    informed him so many times. Yet why had he agreed to cancel the marriage after she came back and


    said that?


    It turned out he had been waiting to know her true thought. Yet she had told him cruelly and assertively


    that she did not like him at all when he thought she had fallen in love with him. Even though he was


    strong and powerful, there would be time which he gave up. She had truly broken his heart that night.


    She did not mean to do that, if she had known it earlier…


    Florence curled up on her bed and she put her arms around her shoulder with grievance. Her body was


    incredibly stiff. What could she do even if she knew it earlier? What said had been said, the marriage


    had been cancelled, and everything between her and Ernest was done. She was gradually engulfed by


    a sense of helplessness.

    “What? Madam Hawkins is really preparing for the wedding?” Gemma’s surprised and angry voice was


    heard from a luxurious room. The man d in ck standing before her answered with his head low,


    “Yes, and the wedding is going to be grand too, just half a monthter.”


    “How could that be? Didn’t Ernest already say the marriage is cancelled?” Gemma still felt doubtful.


    She knew Ernest’s personality. He was a man of his words, even Georgia could not really force him.


    She had spent so much effort to find out that Florence had returned to the Hawkins’ Mansion followed


    by Ernest that day, and the final oue was Ernest dered that he wanted to cancel the marriage


    himself with assertion.


    She was in a happy mood that Ernest finally gave Florence up and the absurd marriage agreement


    was finally put to an end. Yet she did not expect that Georgia was that stubborn! Both of them had


    declined the marriage yet she still insisted to organize the wedding. She could not guarantee that


    Georgia would not use means to force Ernest and Florence to marry each other during the wedding


    day.


    She could not help but worry, after all, Ernest had respected Georgia all the time. If Georgia really


    forced him, he might give in. Plus, he liked Florence that much and Florence was the one he was going


    to marry. Gemma scratched her head and looked apprehensive. She could no longer ce a bet on


    that matter. She had finally waited for Ernest to give Florence up himself, and she could not let them


    get back together no matter how.


    Her eyes instantly became evil and cruel. She ordered the man in front of her, “I want you to do


    something for me.” The man instantly approached her and listened to her words attentively. Even


    though he had gone used to do shady things, he still felt a little terrified as he listened. As expected,


    women were horrifying if they were determined to be cruel.
