Chapter 344: Probably She Was Leaving
Feeling upset, Florence found it difficult to keep calm. She was about to leave, but identally saw the
poster’s content.
It was a project of an amusement park, and the spokeswoman was the famous model, Anna.
She didn’t appear in anymercial of the Hawkins Group before, so Florence guessed that she was
a new model hired.
Seeing that Florence was confused, the coworker immediately exined to her, “This is the project
poster of ourtest project, Coastal Amusement Park. It has just finished. We’re going to hang it up. In
the past few days, the wholepany has been super business. We trot everywhere.”
“Indeed, it was proposed by Mr. Hawkins all of a sudden. Everyone worked overtime. Even Mr.
Hawkins has been staying in thepany. All of us are so busy.”
Upon hearing it, Florence was surprised ... did Ernest almost stay in his office?
It seemed that he cared a lot about this project of an amusement park. Now he was fully concentrated
on his work and not distracted by her at all.
Florence guessed that it was because for him, although he failed to marry for convenience this time, it
was just like a called-off order in the business empire ... once an order was canceled, there would be a
lot of other new orders.
He was different from her, who felt so upset about it. She had been down for such a long time as if her
world had copsed.
Sure enough, the words online were quite correct ... your heart wouldn’t be broken if you didn’t have a
crush.
Florence smiled ironically, mocking herself.
...
After quitting the job, Florence had nothing to dopletely. She stayed in Stanford’s luxurious house,
quite idle.
Stanford forbade her to work at night. Every night, he would sit next to her bed and read her bedtime
stories.
Florence also bargained with him ... as long as she had fallen asleep, he must go to sleep in his
bedroom. Although Stanford was still worried, he had to agree as Florence insisted.

As the day passed by, nothing special happened.
Stanford had never mentioned asking her to go back to Europe again, but Florence knew that he had
been waiting for her.
Florence was quite curious and uneasy when thinking of the unknown life in Europe and her parents,
who were just strangers to her.
She still felt quite hesitant, unable to make a decision.
Probably she knew it quite clearly. As long as she had gone, she wouldn’t be able toe back to City
N all her life. That was a forever farewell to people and things here.
Even she had nobody that she cared about on thisnd, it was a ce where she had been staying for
over twenty years. She needed courage and time to bid it farewell.
One morning, after breakfast, Stanford stopped Florence from going back to her bedroom.
“Hey, Flory, let’s go to a ce.”
In the past few days, Stanford always tried to make excuses, such as having a walk, going shopping, or
walking the dog, to drag Florence out from her bedroom for a while.
Florence had been used to it, so she nodded in agreement.
Much to her surprise, Stanford took Florence to Carnival Amusement Park, the most famous
amusement park in City N.
It was the weekend today, so there were a lot of tourists. The whole park was quite lively.
Florence asked in confusion, “Stanford, why did you take me over here? I don’t want to y any of
them.”
She was quite peaceful and calm recently as if she were an olddy in her fifties or sixties. Shecked
passion.
Hence, ces such as the amusement park didn’t suit her.
Stanford reached out his hand and grabbed Florence’s hand, dragging her forward.
With a smile, he said, “In other’s families, when kids were young, the older brother would take his
younger sister to the amusement park. I didn’t have such a chance, and I could only envy them. Now
finally I have found my sister back. Please let me have the fun!”
Florence pressed her lips. He used the same excuse again, but she couldn’t refuse.
She didn’t have a family all these years, and neither did Stanford have a sister. As an older brother, he
should be made up andforted.
Florence could only satisfy him.
“But, please wait for a moment.”
Florence stopped Stanford. She looked around and found a grocery store.
“Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”
As she spoke, she trotted over to the grocery store.
Shortly, she came out with a newly bought facial mask. Handing it over to Stanford, she said, “Wear it.
Otherwise, you’ll cause traffic.”
Stanford looked way too handsome. Even he was not a celebrity, as soon as he was standing in the
crowd, a lot of women would surround him or even confess their love to him.
It had been already crowded in the amusement park. If people lined up to surround Stanford, there
would be a traffic jam for sure.
“My dearest sister is so consideration!”
Stanford took over the mask directly and wore it. Taking the chance, he rubbed Florence’s head.
He looked as if this mask that only cost a few bucks was a precious treasure for him.
After all, this was the first time that Florence gave him something.
Florence pressed her lips, following him into the amusement park.
Shortly after entering, Florence regretted it.
She wasn’t quite brave usually, and she had seldome to the amusement park. However, Stanford,
an elegant and graceful man, favored those exciting facilities the most.
He made his excuses quite reasonable ... he wanted to make up the time for taking all the facilities
together with his younger sister.
Hence, he dragged Florence to experience all the excitements ... the roller coaster, the big pendulum,
the jumping machine, and so on.
Getting off from them, Florence was so scared that she almost had forgotten who she was.
“No! That’s too horrible! I don’t want to y it!”
Florence wanted to weep. Dragging Stanford’s hand, she didn’t want to continue.
It was fine if he dragged her to experience the facilities on the ground, but now Sanford aimed to take
her to experience parachuting.
That was a high altitude extreme sport, and Florence felt afraid of heights.
Looking at the vivid expression on Florence’s face, Stanford was quite happy. This was the different
expression shown on her face after she had be so upset.
Of course, he wouldn’t let her go so easily.
“I’ll give you some time to get prepared. Let’s go y the water coaster”
Stanford pointed over at the water coaster not afar.
Comparing with parachuting, the water coaster obviously was more eptable. Florence immediately
nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, in another direction of this amusement park, a group of men in suits was walking over.
The man in lead seemed to be the park manager. Leading a group of men, he warmly received the
man walking towards him.
“Good day, Mr. Hawkins. Thanks foring to my amusement park. It’s our big pleasure. I hope you’ll
enjoy your investigation here.”
In gray street clothes, Ernest was expressionless, looking indifferent.
His think lips parted slightly. “Show me the way.”
He wanted to build the biggest amusement park empire in Coastal City, and he came over to this ce
for investigation.
Just when he had taken a few steps further, his cell phone started ringing.
It was his private number. Others couldn’t get through. If he was called, it must be something urgent.
Ernest swiped to answer.
On the other end of the line, he heard Georgia’s aged voice, “Ernest, where are you now?”
“I’m investigating in an amusement park.”
“Please put away your work aside. I have something quite important to tell you.”
“Please go ahead.”
When answering the phone, Ernest kept walking forward.
He didn’t want to put away his work at all.
Georgia continued, “It’s about Flory. It was all my fault that day so that Flory had heard our
conversation. She must have misunderstood you. I can tell that she cares about you. You shouldn’t
have given up like this.”
Ernest frowned. “It’s already past. If you want to tell me about it only, I’m still busy. I’ve got to go.”
“Ernest, wait!” Georgia hurriedly to stop him from hanging up the phone.
She heaved a sigh helplessly and added, “The Fraser family has sent someone over already. They’ll
take Florence back to Europe. Probably she would soon be...” She wanted to tell her grandson that
Florence would be leaving soon.
