My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 80: Conversation Between a Father and a Son-in-Law

Then why did he ask her to take the bath towel for?

Florence casually opened the cupboard and realized that the bath towel was still in there.

That meant...

“Bring me the towel.”

At that moment, the water in the bathroom stopped and Ernest’s deep voice sounded from inside.

The corner of Florence’s lips twitched. How could he act as though there was nothing wrong about this?

Wouldn’t he feel shy to ask a woman to bring him a towel when he was still in the bathroom?

After hesitating for a while, Florence walked towards the bathroom and knocked on the door. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Hawkins, here’s the bath towel. Please open the door.”

“It’s not locked.”

Ernest replied faintly.

Florence felt uncertain. She thought that there was still a curtain hanging in her bathroom, Ernest should be behind it.

With that, she opened the door of the bathroom and went in.

The bathroom was filled with misty air and the fragrant smell of shampoo mixing with a man’s breath. The smell was so strong that her heart throbbed.

Florence’s cheeks slightly blushed. She raised her gaze and saw the built body of a tall man. The most important thing was... he was completely unclothed!

She was completely stunned.

Ernest, who just walked out from the curtain, was also stunned.

The atmosphere in the bathroom fell into an awkward silence in an instant.

“Ahh!” A loud scream sounded in the bathroom.

Florence covered her face and felt extremely shy. She turned her head and ran outside in a panic.

She wasn’t looking straight, so she almost hit on the wall.

Ernest narrowed his eyes and immediately went over to grab Florence.

Florence uncontrollably fell into his arms due to inertia.

Her red cheeks pasted on his slightly wet chest, and their bodies were especially close to each other.

Her heartbeat seemed to have stopped at that instant.

Florence’s face blushed as she exclaimed, “You pervert!”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on Ernest’s handsome face. It was faintly visible that his ears were somewhat turning slightly red.

“Give me the towel.”

With that, he took the towel in Florence’s hand and wrapped it around his waist as fast as possible.

Florence startled when she saw his movements, and her face suddenly felt hot.

He grabbed her back, just to get the towel?

She seemed to have thought too much.

Florence felt extremely embarrassed. She lowered her head and rushed out of the bathroom.

She was about to leave the room directly when she saw her father walking in from the door.

Nicholas brought them supper and stood at the door. He strangely looked at his daughter who had just rushed out from the bathroom with her red cheeks and affectionate eyes.

He recalled her scream earlier...

Nicholas’s face suddenly turned gloomy and said with an extremely strict tone, “Flory, although you and Ernest are fiancées, you two are still not married yet. How could you do that to Mr. Hawkins?”

Florence was stunned. What did he mean by that?

What he said made her seem like a nympho.

“Dad, it’s not what you think...”

“Uncle.”

Before Florence could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ernest’s deep voice.

Ernest came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and stood beside Florence.

His chest was still stained with water. It seemed like he didn’t have enough time to wipe it yet. He wrapped a white bath towel around his waist, and there was a cute piglet on the bath towel that seemed really girlish.

Nicholas’s face suddenly took on a ghastly expression as he gave Florence a deadly stare.

Then, he looked at Ernest with great concern, “Mr. Hawkins, are you alright?”

Florence, “...” Shouldn’t he be asking her instead?

Ernest looked at Florence with his complicated eyes, and said with a gentle tone, “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”

Nicholas felt even more pain in his heart when he glanced at Florence.

It seemed for the first time he realized that his daughter who looked weak, was actually so active and vigorous.

No wonder in less than a month of their engagement, she managed to take down a dignified man like Ernest...

Florence was stared until she felt uncomfortable everywhere. She didn’t do anything at all, why did it seem like she had done something particularly shameless?

She wanted to explain herself, “Dad, I...”

“Don’t say a word.”

Nicholas stopped her words. He couldn’t bear to look at her face, as if he didn’t want to hear her saying a word more.

Then, he solemnly looked at Ernest.

“Ernest, although young people nowadays are open-minded, our family is still traditionally-minded people. If you and Florence... you must never disappoint her. Even if you’re the young master of the Hawkins family, I will never let you off the hook if you dare to hurt Florence.”

For all these years, Ernest had been superior to others, so no one had the guts to speak to him in this tone. The people who dared to talk in this manner were no longer here.

However, Ernest wasn’t angry at all and spoke as though he was saying an oath, “I won’t disappoint her.”

Nicholas only felt relieved when he heard Ernest’s words. Then, he disgustedly glanced at his daughter and said solemnly to Ernest, “I’ll leave Florence to you now. Treat her well.”

“I will.”

Ernest replied with his convincingly low voice that sounded determined.

Seeing the conversation between this two men, the most important affair of her lifetime had been settled just like that. Florence felt really dumbfounded. Shouldn’t they be asking for her opinion at all?

Watching the serious look on Ernest’s face, she secretly twitched the corner of her lips. His acting seemed really realistic.

Nicholas raised his eyes and saw Florence staring straight at Ernest. He couldn’t help but feel helpless and depressed from the bottom of his heart.

Florence was such a good girl before. Even if she really liked Ernest, couldn’t she be more reserved towards him?

“Well, Flory can sleep anywhere you want to sleep at. You two should rest early.”

With that, Nicholas turned around and left.

Florence looked at his back and felt depressed. Did her father misunderstand something?

The corner of Ernest’s lips tipped into a faint smile and looked at the woman standing beside him.

He whispered, “I promised your father, that I won’t disappoint you.”

Florence broke out in cold sweats when she thought of her father’s strict threat towards Ernest.

Florence threw a fake smile and laughed casually, “I’ll explain to my father later.”

Ernest’s tone was serious, “I’m not a man who would simply make a vain promise.”

So...

Florence’s temples had a pulse as she looked at Ernest.

She had a serious tone, “Don’t worry, Mr. Hawkins. I won’t tell anyone about this matter.”

Ernest felt his anger bursting. Why couldn’t this woman understand what he actually meant?

When she realized Ernest was feeling ghastly, she thought he might have felt a little wronged tonight. Hence, she looked at his in the face and said, “Mr. Hawkins, you should rest early.”

After saying that, she dared not look at his sexy upper body and ran outside.

When Ernest saw her closing the door simultaneously, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his lips helplessly.
