My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

She looked to the criminal. The next second, however, she popped her eyes wide in shock.
She was astonished, "Why, why are you here?"
The criminal was Florence.
Florence naturally sat on the arm of Ernest's armchair. She leaned against his shoulder and raised an innocent smile on her little
face.
"I' m here for my brother. What's wrong?"
Ernest accepted Florence's leaning against him.
He stopped tapping the keyboard and stared at Florence with dark eyes.
He looked at her with exploration and endless patience.
When the other men saw this, they were astonished.
Were they blind?
Who could tell them what was happening right now?
Who was the woman? She dared to grab the food from Princess Samantha? And she should lean against Ernest so close?
Ernest hated any woman's approach. Even the princess didn't dare to touch his sleeve.
However, this woman leant against him like against a column. Ernest should wear a peaceful look and had no intention to drive
her away?
What happened at all?
Princess Samantha felt shocked at Florence's appearance.
She had a detailed plan and Florence would definitely die before Ernest came back. But why did she appear here safe and
sound?
What was wrong with her plan?

Why did Florence come to the palaceWhy did she come here? She never went outside.
Was her scheme discovered by Florence? So she came here to complain to Ernest?
Thinking of this, Princess Samantha's face became dark and her eyes became very threatening.
Looking into her eyes, Florence felt the sense of malevolence at once.
Florence felt scared in heart, but she gave a big smile on her face and looked at the food on the desk with great interest.
She looked eagerly at the food, "The beef was so delicious. Is it from this portion? I left home this morning and haven't had lunch
yet. I'm starved. Can I have it?"
She left home this morning?
Princess Samantha caught the key point in her words.
She had the rice poisoned in lunchtime. This was to say Florence didn't have lunch at home, right?
So she narrowly escaped?!
Now everything explained!
Princess Samantha felt relieved in heart. Although she didn't kill Florence successfully, the scheme wasn't uncovered. Hence it
was not necessary to break in public.
She smiled elegantly, "Flory, this was cooked specifically for Ernest. It might not fit your appetite. I've brought other kinds of
bento. You can choose the one you like."
"Not necessarily. I like the taste of this bento, yummy."
Florence replied as if she was very simple. She looked so eagerly at the bento.
"Further, my brother usually forgets to eat and rest when he is working. He won't eat the bento. It's a waste. Let me finish it."
The excuse successfully made Princess Samantha shut her mouth. She didn't know what to say.
While she was at a loss, the chopsticks in her hand were grabbed by Florence.

Florence quickly took the lunch box and started to gorge on them.
She was indeed hungry.
She had nothing for lunch and even spent the whole afternoon walking here and there. So she was extremely hungry. Without
food, she would have no strength to stand up.
Moreover, she wouldn't let Ernest eat Princess Samantha's love bento.
Seeing her gorging, Ernest frowned.
He thought she would stay at home. However, she starved herself.
He never allowed her to skip any meal or suffer hunger.
Damn it! What had happened?
With chopsticks grabbed and the love bento for her lover eaten by another one, Princess Samantha was irritated. She itched to
kill Florence at the sight of her.
However, the next moment, she noticed Ernest frowning and showing an unhappy look.
Was he dissatisfied with Florence's behavior?
Was he dissatisfied that Florence grabbed food? Or was he dissatisfied that Florence grabbed his love bento?
Either reason was beneficial to her.
Princess Samantha's anger vanished in no time. Instead, she was a bit excited and happy to see Florence eating.
She said slowly, "Flory, eat slowly. Don't choke yourself."
Her caring words magnified the fact that Florence ate rudely.
The men in the office stared at Florence with more complicated attitude.
'Who was this rude woman?' people wondered.
She not only leaned closely against Ernest but also won Princess Samantha's indulgence.

Ernest frowned more tightly.
With his long face, he poured a glass of water and gave it to Florence.
Florence ate so quickly that she got choked a bit. She took the glass and drank the water.
She did it naturally without thanks.
The crowd, "..." What a rude woman.
Princess Samantha observed Ernest's behavior, feeling very envious.
Although Ernest was not happy about Florence's rudeness, he gave her a glass of water and looked after her.
Even though Florence was his sister, Princess Samantha was envious.
So the more she looked at Florence, the more disagreeable to the eye Florence was.
There were many dishes in the lunch box, so Florence felt full when she only finished half of the box.
After eating, she regained her energy.
She nearly died of hunger during her escape.
Luckily, she found Ernest in time.
Florence turned around, holding Ernest's arm in her arms with her chin on his shoulder.
She acted like a spoiled child,
"Your office is so far away. I'm exhausted."
Ernest frowned and his heart ached.
If nothing bad had happened, Florence wouldn't have come here for him.
But it was not a proper time to ask her.
He patted her head and said in a spoiled tone,

"Then have a good rest. Do you wanna sit in my armchair?"
She would feel comfortable to rest in a soft armchair.
Holding his arm in her arms, Florence said like a kid,
"No. It's comfortable to lean against you."
It made her feel at ease too.
And it would make Princess Samantha angry.
Princess Samantha's face became gloomier and she could hardly maintain the smile on her lips.
She couldn't touch a bit of the garment of the man whom she had been in hot pursuit of. But Florence could hold Ernest and
closely lean against him at will.
Why?!
Even though Florence was his sister, she couldn't bear it. This drove her crazy!
