My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Samantha looked at Ernest in amazement because she didn't expect that he would leave the seat at the moment.
The food she picked for him lied alone in his bowl.
It made her dismayed as if she had eaten a fly.
Ernest didn't even glance at her or find how depressed she was, but he immediately gave Hector an icy cold stare.
"Since you hurried to find the medicine, let me see you off. Let's go!"
Hector was puzzled as he was about to shovel the food into his mouth with his chopsticks.
Was it necessary to be so hasty when he was still having meal?
Ernest then gave him a colder stare, "What happened? Are you pretending to be active?"
Trembling unconsciously, Hector was upset and speechless.
He just wanted to feed himself enough. How come wasn't he active?
Was it a fact that he was always an eyesore to the future brother-in-law?
In order to giving Ernest a good impression, Hector stopped hesitating and put down his chopsticks at once.
He stood up neatly, "I'll follow you and bring back the cactus soon. I won't keep Flory waiting for me too long."
At the same time, he affectionately winked at Florence.
All of a sudden, goose bumps spread all over Florence.
'Get out of here right now, you idiot!'
Then Ernest looked more closely at Andrew.
"Flory isn't feeling well now. After the meal, you should ask Bonnie to accompany her to have a rest. Since the Princess
Samantha is a guest in your family, you don't need to follow me to the palace. Please treat her well."
What he said made sense, but Andrew knew perfectly well that he asked him to deal with the troublesome Princess Samantha.

The implication was that Florence shouldn't be bothered as well.
Andrew also saw that the noble Princess Samantha wouldn't stay here as Ernest left. Even he was ordered to treat her, what he
would do should be seeing her off.
It shouldn't be a trouble.
Therefore, Andrew promised readily to him, "OK, thank you for tackling the issues of the palace."
It implied that Ernest had spared much more efforts.
The issues were settled in their conversation.
Tightening his lips, Ernest turned around swiftly and went outside, leaving his cold but charming tall figures behind.
He didn't take a gander at Samantha all along, let alone greeting to her.
It seemed that she was completely ignored.
Samantha sat stiffly in her seat, her face appearing embarrassed and pale.
She knew Ernest had no feelings for her.
Nevertheless, she was the most elite and gorgeous woman in Raflad that even the men across the whole country itched to marry
her, so should have Ernest.
Therefore, she was so confident in wooing Ernest, waiting for him to fall for her and marry her.
By contrast, having tried her best for several days, she still found the distance in her relation with Ernest and she didn't sense
any improvement.
She was somehow restless and worried about it.
Ernest left and also brought away the most troublesome guy Hector. However, Samantha remained there.
Florence didn't have any positive feelings toward Samantha from the bottom of her heart.
She had no stomach for the meal and didn't expect that Samantha, who should have followed Ernest to leave, was still there,
showing no signal of quitting.

About to lose her patience, Florence waited for a while.
Forget it. Since she didn't make a move, Florence was about to leave.
As long as she had already lost her appetite for the meal.
Smiling politely, she put down her chopsticks gently.
"I'm done. Enjoy your food, please."
Meanwhile, she stood up, about to leave.
Hearing this while dining, Bonnie also hastily put down the bowl in her hand, standing up and suddenly walking alongside
Florence, "I'll go back with you."
Ernest had arranged for her to follow Florence all the time to take care of her, so she dared not to be irresponsible.
Getting used to having Bonnie by her side, Florence then nodded.
She stepped outside at first.
A few steps forward, the sound of Samantha followed her behind.
"Wait!"
Florence halted, frowning.
But she turned around patiently, asking Princess Samantha, "What's the matter, Princess Samantha?"
Samantha also put down her bowl and chopsticks, showing no desire of eating.
Standing up and smiling kindly, she looked at Florence, speaking to her in a soft voice.
"Flory, I feel so bored here alone. Would you like to have high tea with me?"
Andrew was neglected directly, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and pondering whether it would be troublesome for
Florence to spend time with Samantha.
Samantha was so polite that Florence couldn't even reject her invitation.

Even though she seemed extremely reluctant to that.
Barely smiling, Florence said, "Certainly."
Seeing her acceptance, Samantha smiled deeper, walking right towards her and intimately holding her arms as if they were best
friends.
"Let's go. I heard that the garden here looks fantastic. Let's go and see."
Florence felt stupefied by the unfamiliar touch on her arm and the fragrance of perfume.
She was completely not familiar with Samantha at all.
Why did she behave like this all of a sudden?
Anxious and uncomfortable, Florence rigidly yanked her hands back.
"Let me lead the way, Princess Samantha."
Meanwhile, with a stride forward, she kept the distance with Samantha.
Seeing her empty hand, Samantha showed a dark stare.
As if nothing happened, she followed Florence out with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind.
It was apparent how much Ernest cared about his sister Florence and adored her. As long as Ernest kept alienated with her,
which was tough to get close to him, she employed a new strategy to approach him from another side.
As the old saying goes, "Love me, love my dog."
If Samantha built up a good relationship with Florence and asked her to put in a good word for her with Ernest, he would then
grow more love to her.
The affection would be enough for her to find a breakthrough to make him fall for her.
Therefore, she made such a decision in an instant, aiming to apply her strategy to Florence and buy her at first.

She was confident. Ernest was such a chill obstacle to break through. In contrast, it would be a piece of cake to deal with a
woman like Florence.
Florence strode towards the garden, with her anxiety beating the drum on and on.
It was evident that Princess Samantha invited her to the high tea suddenly for a certain purpose and she should deal with her
cautiously.
She indeed suffered a lot, not reckoning that Samantha would remain there, after seeing off the annoying Hector.
Bonnie respected Princess Samantha very much and as she was a member of the host family, firstly she prepared for some
cream tea, putting them in the pavilion of the garden in advance.
Surrounded by trees and flowers, the environment was enticing with a finely decorated garden and a cool pavilion.
Florence and Princess Samantha sat by their side.
"Please help yourself, Princess Samantha."
Florence politely invited Princess Samantha to drink a cup of tea, without intentionally mentioning other topics.
