Chapter 381: The Reunion
In the future?
Florence was taken aback for a moment. She had never nned to have any future with him. It turned
out that this man had already treated her as his wife-to-be.
Immediately, Florence said, “Mr. Turner, I came here as I want to talk to you.”
Benjamin noticed how serious and nervous she was, and the smile on his face was stiffened. He was
quite smart that instantly he knew what she meant.
As a well-educated man, he didn’t show it on his expression. With a warm smile, he said, “Please go
ahead.”
Benjamin was far more gentlemanly than Florence had imagined. He also respected her very much.
No matter what was the reason behind his insistence on their infant matrimony, Florence was the one
who wanted to call off this engagement first. Hence, she felt a bit sorry for him.
After hesitating for a moment, Florence said in guilt, “Mr. Turner, in fact, I...”
“Bang!”
Right then, the door of the room was pushed from the outside all of a sudden. The loud bang was
thunderous and extremely rude.
Florence was startled, feeling quite surprised. Hadn’t she requested to meet Benjamin alone?
Theoretically, nobody should interrupt them in such a rude way.
Confused, Florence turned around and looked over at the door. When she recognized the tall and
strong figure, she was so shocked as if she got the lightning strike.
She gaped at the man in disbelief.
How could it be...
Him!
Under the bright sunshine, the man was in a ck windbreaker, looking fierce and domineering,
emanating an arctic cold.
He pressed his thin lips tightly, gazing at Florence sharply.
His gaze was so sharp as if he could see through her soul.
When their gaze met, it felt that tens of thousands of years had passed. Nothing around them had
be unimportant at all. They could see each other only.
Also, their hearts were hammering.
Florence had never expected that she would encounter Ernest here, and nor had she wondered what
she should react when meeting him. Her mind went nk, gazing at him in a daze. She looked at him
so greedily that she didn’t want to look away at all.
It had been so long since she had seen himst time as if several years had passed. She missed him
so much that all her thoughts had umted into a vast ocean.
Feeling the soreness in her nose, Florence gritted her teeth to suppress her emotion at her best effort.
Benjamin frowned slightly, a dark light shing through his eyes. However, in his mixed-raced good-
looking face, he still kept a gentleman’s smile.
“Hi, Uncle Ernest, why are you here?”
Uncle Ernest?
Florence was shocked, wondering if she had misheard the way how Benjamin address Ernest.
Her eyes were widened, feeling incredible. She wondered if she had misheard and misunderstood
something.
However, Ernest lifted his foot and strode over to her step by step.
His darkened gaze swept at her up and down.
He said in a calm tone and extremely deep voice, “Since my nephew is meeting his future wife, I should
come over to have a look.”
Florence immediately tightened her body.
A touch of embarrassment surge in her heart. She had never expected that it would be so
embarrassing to meet him again. He even had known that she came here to meet Benjamin on a blind
date.

If she continued the infant matrimony with Benjamin, she would be Ernest’s nephew’s wife,
wouldn’t she?
She would change from his fiancée-used-to-be to his nephew’s wife in the future...
Florence clenched her fists, her face turning pale.
Ernest walked to Florence and looked down at her, his eyes extremely deep.
He asked in a deep voice, “May I sit here, please?”
There were so many empty chairs in this room, but why would he want to sit next to her?
Florence wondered if he wanted to help Benjamin choose his wife.
She gritted her teeth and pressed her lips,pletely ignoring his question.
She didn’t agree or reject. However, in such a circumstance, her silence was the best rejection.
Benjamin immediately said with a smile, “Uncle Ernest, we didn’t know that you woulde here so
suddenly. Flory wasn’t well prepared. She’s a bit shy and she’s not used to meeting a stranger. She
came to meet me alone without meeting my father and other rtives.”
His exnation was quite indifferent, but it implied that Ernest shouldn’t have shown up here.
However, Ernest ignored his implication and Florence’s rejection. He sat down next to Florence directly.
The chair was neither too far nor too close to Florence’s. When he sat down, his scent overwhelmed
Florence immediately as if she was surrounded by itpletely.
The familiar scent trembled Florence’s heart, making her whole body tightened subconsciously.
She couldn’t help but pinch the sleeves of her dress, trying her best to be calm.
She tried her best effort to ignore Ernest and pretended not to see him. However, he didn’t seem to let
go of her at all.
He gazed at her and asked meaningfully, “Are you still feeling shy when meeting me?”
His words implied that they used to be in a close rtionship.
Florence immediately blushed, feeling more embarrassed.
In such a circumstance, was it truly necessary for Ernest to chitchat with her? He should never mention
their former rtionship at all, should he?
“I have something urgent, so I must go now. Please excuse me.” Florence suddenly stood up, not
aiming to stay any longer.
Since Ernest had shown up, she couldn’t continue talking to Benjamin about her well-nned words.
Hence, it would be unnecessary for her to stay here.
Besides, she was in such a panic and didn’t know how to face Ernest.
Ernest’s eyes became darkened, gazing at Florence. How could she want to leave in a hurry as soon
as seeing him?
He wondered how much she didn’t want to see him.
Benjamin also stood up immediately. Knowing that their meeting couldn’t continue today, he offered, “I
can give you a ride.”
Florence waved immediately in rejection. “No, thanks. Stanford is waiting for me outside.”
After finishing her words, without waiting for Benjamin’s response, she turned around and strode out.
She walked so fast as if there was something horrible behind her chasing after her.
Ernest’s eyes kept darkening, extremely dangerously gazing at Florence’s receding figure as if he was
a wolf gazing at his prey. He had spent a huge effort to chase after her to here, and he wouldn’t let go
of her so easily.
He stood up and strode out of the door.
Seeing that Ernest also was leaving, Benjamin frowned deeply. “Wait, Uncle Ernest. Where are you
going?”
As he spoke, he also followed Ernest out of the rood.
Ernest was going to chase after Florence, so Benjamin was only the rival in love and the third wheel for
him.
He snapped in a cold tone, “Benjamin, you’ve scared Ms. Fraser away. Stay here and have a self-
reflection yourself.”
Benjamin’s pace paused, looking extremely annoyed.
Except for his great-grandpa, nobody else had scolded him like this. This Uncle Ernest, who had just
come back to the family, didn’t only snatch his position and the right of session but also scolded
him.
Clenching his fists, Benjamin had more hatred to Ernest.
However, Ernestpletely ignored what Benjamin was thinking. In a hurry, he chased after Florence,
who was the only one who upied his eyes and heart.
Florence rushed out in a hurry, feeling so panicked.
Her mind went nk and couldn’t think much. All she wanted was to leave this ce as soon as
possible. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would emotionally break down again.
However, when she had juste out, a big hand reached out from her back and grabbed her wrist.
Under the strength, she was forced to spin around, bumping into the man’s broad and firm embrace.
