Chapter 948: One day''s sleep
It took more than two hours to get all the affairs of the meeting done.
Although Ernest arranged his most capable man near the small building to protect Florence from
any possible danger. The situation was stillplicated, with dangers and risks lurking in the
corners. He would start to worry about Florence even just after being separated for a while.
Ernest walked quickly and hurried into the house in a minute.
He entered the door and asked the maid that was waiting,
"Where is Florence?"
"Ms. Fraser is there."
The maid spoke in a hushed voice and pointed to the sofa.
Ernest looking at the direction of where the maid was pointing at and saw Florence lying on the
sofa. Her face was facing the doorway, as if she had been waiting for someone.
Perhaps it took too long and she was so bored tired that she fell asleep.
Thick eyshes were fluttering on the eyes, which looked very cute.
But her thin eyebrows were frowning uneasily.
Ernest felt so sorry for her, since the current situation made Florence worried about them all day.
Being in a risky environment, coupled with Theodore deliberately isting signals from the outside
world, Florence''s cell phone has been in a state of no signal for several days, and she could contact
no one.
However, he won''t let this situationst too long.
Ernest stepped closer lightly. He walked to the sofa, gently stroked Florence''s hair, bent over, and
kissed her on the forehead.
"Don''t worry, everything will be settled soon."
He would give her a stable life.
Then, Ernest carefully picked up Florence and walked towards the bedroom.
After putting Florence on the big bed in the bedroom, adjusting the temperature of the air
conditioner, and carefully covering her with the quilt, he nned to turn around and leave her with a
sound sleep.
At that moment, a small hand suddenly grabbed his big hand.
"Don''t leave me..."
Florence whispered lowly.
Ernest turned his head and saw Florence was still sleeping with her eyes closed, but she looked
uneasy, which made her grip his hand tightly.
Did she have a nightmare?
Ernest immediately sat down on the side of the bed, holding her little hand backhand, trying his best
to cating her gently.
"I am here, and I won''t go."
His sound seemed magical, and Florence''s anxiety was gradually eased.
After a while, she fell asleep peacefully again.
Ernest didn''t leave her alone this time. He simply sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand
tightly, watching her sleeping face, and guarding her.
Ever since Stanford was chased out of the Turner family, it seemed like she was fine with the news,
but Ernest knew that she had been worried all day.
She couldn''t even sleep well at night.
This was her best sleep in the past few days, so he had to stay with her for her sound sleep.
The sunset was uing.
Florence''s eyshes trembled and opened her eyes slowly.
The first thing she saw with her bewildered gaze was the man dozing off next to her with his chin
resting on his palm.
That handsome face was so pleasing to the eyes.
It is also the one she loved deeply and the one that gave her sense of security.
Florence looked at him with contentment. Afterwards, she looked at the surrounding environment
and the sky outside the window.
It was getting dark, and she was also sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.
Did she sleep for almost the whole day?
Rubbing her temples, it was no wonder that she felt a little dizzy for sleeping for too long.
"You''re awake?"
Her small movement woke Ernest up.
Ernest looked at her, and his soft eyes seeming to make her drown in the gentleness.
Florence nodded. When she looked at Ernest''s red palm, she pulled it in and caressed it again and
again.
"How long have you been sitting here? Why don''t you lie down in bed and sleep with me?"
"I didn''t expect you to sleep for so long."
Ernest raised his hand and pinched the tip of Florence''s nose, "Little piggy."
Florence flushed, and let go of his hand.
She didn''t think she would sleep for so long.
From morning to evening, she has slept for almost the whole day. She has never slept so long
before.
"Okay, are you hungry? How about cleaning up and going down to eat something?"
Ernest smiled and stood up. Just as he stood up, he had to hold himself still for a while.
Sitting for too long, he was feeling a little bit of numbness.
Florence was full of energy after the long sleep. She jumped off the bed andined as she
walked towards the bathroom.
"Actually, you should wake me up. Sleeping for so long during the day, I definitely could not sleep at
night."
"If I have to fall asleep at 4 or 5 a.m. again, it''ll take a long time to recover normal bio-clock."
Ernest smiled helplessly, "I''ll wake you up next time."
It''s rare for Florence to sleep well, how could he wake her up?
Seeing how energy she was after a long andfortable sleep, he was in a good mood.
Florence packed up and went downstairs. Unexpectedly, she saw two acquaintances in the living
room: Finley and Kevin.
They were sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and it seems that they have drank plenty of cups of teas
waiting for them.
Seeing Ernest and Florenceing downstairs, they seemed like be immediately pardoned. They
hurriedly stood up, with smiles on their faces.
"Young Master, Ms. Fraser."
Florence nodded in response with a polite smile on her face.
Ernest said faintly, "Sorry for making you guys waiting for such long time."
Immediately, he led Florence towards the dining room, and did not intend to stay and have tea with
them in the living room.
He casually said, "Let''s eat something first, and we will discuss our businesster. If you haven''t
eaten,e and eat together."
Having a meal together?
The two elders were suddenly stupid. Being panicked, they hurriedly waved their hands, "No, no,
no, we can''t have supper with you, Young Master. Do take your time, we just wait here."
The attitude of Finley and Kevin indicated that theypletely regarded Ernest as the master.
Florence was moved and admired them a lot.
She tugged at the sleeve of Ernest and said quietly, "Let them eat together."
She could tell that Finley and Kevin had something tomunicate with Ernest. But they had been
waiting in the living room for a long time because she was sleeping.
Anyway, it must be toote for them to go home and have dinner. At this point, they must be hungry.
Ernest nodded, looked sideways, and ordered to them directly,
"Come over for dinner."
The simple and neat four words were irresistable for Finley and Kevin.
They didn''t expect that they were originally here to discuss things with the young master, but they
were treated to a meal.
They were still kind of embarrassed.
The two people sat at the dinner table formally.
Florence slept for a day, but she was really hungry. After politely greeted the two Elder, she started
drinking soup and eating.
She got a good appetite.
"Let''s eat."
Ernest looked at the two elders and also began to eat.
Finley and Kevin nced at each other. Although they were a little ufortable, still, they picked
up their chopsticks to eat.

It''s a quiet dinner. No one spoke anything. They could only hear the soft chewing sound.
When Florence was resting, she said,
"I almost forgot to ask, how was the result of today''s meeting?"
"Not bad."
Ernest briefly told Florence about the meeting.
Florence breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. Although Ernest was temporarily safe
now, Stanford was still in danger if Theodore did not give up on the hunt.
Kevin was observant enough. He said,
