Chapter 698: Not Normal


    “Ms. Fraser, please don’t worry. Mr. Hawkins doesn’t treat others so nicely. When he goes to the


    pce, he emanated a strong and aggressive aura. He won’t spread any nce at anyone or talk to


    anyone at all.


    “Although the princess is superior, as far as I know, she hasn’t talked to Mr. Hawkins for three


    sentences so far, let alone other movements.


    “If she hadn’t stopped the messenger about the news and asked Mr. Hawkins to meet her, he wouldn’t


    possibly go there.”


    Florence was surprised, but she believed that it made sense


    That was who Ernest was.


    She still recalled that when they first met, they were about to engage, but he only cast her a nce and


    spoke three lines to her. Then he left directly.


    He was so aloof just like a snow lotus on top of the snow mountain - others could see it but touch it.


    Florence always felt lucky as she could gain his heartter and became the woman by his side.


    The princess should be hopeless to chase after Ernest.


    The frustration in Florence’s heart faded away. She became delighted again.


    With a smile, she held Ernest’s hand and said, “Please go ahead ande back soon. I’ll be waiting


    here for you.”


    He could tell from her crystal clear eyes that she truly didn’t mind.


    Ernest’s mood also became much better.


    He held her hand back and said tenderly, “I’ll go after you’ve finished lunch.”


    She had been starved for such a long time. He knew that she hadn’t had enough yet.


    Florence felt quite warm in her heart. She didn’t insist and continued with her lunch obediently.


    After the torture of hungry in the snownd, she finally felt how happy it was to eat. As long as she


    could, she must eat properly.


    However, she was quite considerate to Ernest as well. Shortly after, she finished lunch.


    After ensuring that she had been full, Ernest pushed her back to the room in person.


    He reminded her, “Wait for me here. When I’m not around, no matter what happens, you can’t go out of


    this house. All right?”


    Florence nodded with a smile, “Okay. I got it. You’ve repeated it several times.”


    Ernest had be so nagging aftering to Rad.


    Ernest pressed his lips helplessly. He kissed Florence on her forehead. Then he walked out reluctantly.


    After what happened in the morning, he felt quite uneasy to leave Florence here alone.


    However, he couldn’t do all the things altogether, so he couldn’t stay to apany her, and nor could


    he take her with him when working.


    He could only keep reminding her to stay here, not to go out.


    Inwardly, he urged himself to speed up his work so that they could leave the country soon.


    Right then, Ernest was sending Florence back to her room, and Andrew and Alton Carlton were waiting


    for him in the garden outside.


    Alton was so anxious. At the same time, he gaped in surprise.


    Like everyone else in this country, this was the first time that he saw a man taking such good care of a


    woman.


    It waspletely different from their custom.


    Alton asked in confusion, “Why does Mr. Hawkins treat Florence so well? It’s not normal at all.”


    Standing next to him, Andrew heard it and his temples popped. He felt a sense of guilt, afraid that Alton


    would suspect anything because of it.


    Immediately, he exined, “Mr. Hawkins came from another country. As you know, a lot of countries


    outside believed that men and women are equal. Men in those countries treat women very well, almost


    doting them. In the foreign country, what Mr. Hawkins has done is quite normal.”


    “I see. I forgot about it just now.”


    Alton nodded as being enlightened. However, he was still puzzled, “But I heard that although women


    have higher status in foreign countries, a husband would treat his wife extremely well. Does a man


    treat his sister so well, too?”


    He looked over at Andrew when questioning.


    Andrew was the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Rad. Over the years, only Andrew went abroad once


    with his team and bought back some information and status of the foreign countries.


    Andrew wasn’t quite certain, but he nodded affirmatively, “Yep. In a family, the youngest sister is always


    treasured by all the family members.”


    “Oh, it turns out to be like this.”


    Alton was convinced.


    However, he couldn’t quite agree with Ernest. Looking in the direction where Ernest was, he said


    solemnly, “Andrew, Mr. Hawkins must marry the princess in the future and will live here for the rest of


    his life. The way he treats women must be change. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”


    Andrew felt a bit awkward. He didn’t think Ernest would change it.


    Ernest doted Florence as treasuring his own eyeballs. Even if he would be abused, he would take good


    care of Florence.


    However, Andrew wouldn’t tell others about it. Originally, Ernest wouldn’t stay in this country long, and


    nor would he marry the princess.


    Andrew was sure that one day Ernest would vanish suddenly.


    Hiding all his thoughts very well, Andrew said with a smile, “Mr. Hawkins is out.”


    Alton saw Ernesting out from the side hall.


    He was in a suit, looking tall, strong, and handsome. With the overbearing manners that he was born


    with, he made others worship him and be humble to him.


    This man deserved to stand on top of the world and enjoy being treated respectfully.


    Alton believed that position should be the princess’s husband.


    The longer he looked at Ernest, the more satisfied Alton became. With a ttery smile, he walked up to


    Ernest.


    “Mr. Hawkins, have you done everything here?”


    “Ehn,” Ernest hummed to answer with a cold look.


    Alton’s smile became brighter, “Let’s go to the pce then. This way please, Mr. Hawkins.”


    They were going to meet the princess, whom Ernest didn’t want to meet at all.


    He walked forward with a darkened face.


    Finally, Alton could Ernest back to the ce. He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ernest.


    The princess didn’t ask for Andrew, but he also followed them immediately. He must try his best to take


    his duty as the third wheel.


    Ernest went to the pce at noon. He said he woulde back after getting the offering letter. It would


    take three hours at the most.


    However, when it reached five or six o’clock in the evening, Florence still hadn’t seen hime back


    yet.


    The person who wanted to see him was the princess with an evil intention. Thinking of that, when it


    was gettingte, Florence became uneasier and uneasier, starting to worry about him.


    She had been watching at the door of her room for a long time. The longer she waited, the more


    worried she was.


    She couldn’t help but walk slowly towards the gate.


    Fortunately, after a few hours, her twisted ankle had almost recovered. She could walk slowly.


    Andrew was rich, so the entrance of his house was quite huge. There was a bench inside the door, on


    which Florence could sit and wait.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Sitting on the bench, Florence half-opened the door so that she could look in distance outside, and


    meanwhile, people outside wouldn’t find her easily.


    In that case, she could avoid a lot of trouble.


    When Florence went to wash clothes, she walked through the back door, outside of which was a river.


    In front of the front entrance, there was a wide cement road. Opposite Andrew, there was a house of


    another rich family.
