My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 28 Mr. Hawkins Seemed to Be Angry

Florence rushed out of the Director’s office. She could only breathe normally after a while, and her face was still flushing.

She needed to complete her design as soon as possible, or else she didn’t know what kind of embarrassing stuff could happen if she kept staying in Ernest’s office.

Almost all the staff in the Design Department had gone home. When Florence went back to take her bag, and she saw Cooper was still in the office.

Cooper was playing mobile games on the couch.

Florence walked over, “Why are you staying back?”

She could understand if it is for work, but game? It doesn’t make sense.

Cooper put down his phone right away, “I was waiting for you.”

Florence looked surprised. Cooper chuckled, “You said you are going to treat me dinner. Did you forget about it?”

Florence smiled in embarrassment, “No, I did not. Let’s go. What do you want to eat?”

Cooper asked, “Entirely up to me?”

“Of course. Any place you like.”

“Then I shall take you to a special place.”

Florence and Cooper chatted as they walked out of the office building. Laughter filled in along the way.

When they arrived at the exit, they called a cab and headed to the restaurant Cooper mentioned earlier.

After the cab drove away, a Lamborghini stopped in front of the office building.

Timothy, who sat in the driver seat, looked nervous. He looked at Ernest who sat behind from the rear- view mirror in a worried look.

Earnest just got off from work and left the office. He purposely asked Timothy to come to the exit of the building to pick Florence up.

However, they saw Florence left with another man when they arrive.

Timothy spoke with an uneasy tone, “Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Fraser has left. Where do we go next?”

Ernest’s lips sealed tight. He was sitting in the back seat, and his handsome face looked cold.

He answered in a cold tone, “Go home.”

Timothy held on to the steering wheel. He could felt the depressing atmosphere in the car. Mr. Hawkins was angry…

Cooper brought Florence to a restaurant which was located far away from the crowded place. There were only a few customers in the restaurant, and it made the restaurant a quiet place.

The ambience of the restaurant was especially praiseworthy.

It looked exquisite and refined. At the same time, it also provided a fresh and comfy ambience for those who dine in here.

Florence fell in love with the place almost immediately.

Cooper seated Florence besides the window, “You can always come here if you ever need a quiet place for inspirations.”

Florence gasped in admiration, “This is a great place. How did you find it?”

“When I was still drawing, I like to draw in quiet and exquisite places. I found this place when I wandered around.”

Cooper smiled, but his eyes showed signs of sorrow and nostalgia.

He used to be a regular of this place…

Florence was admiring the view outside of the window, so she didn’t notice Cooper’s mood change. She asked casually, “So, why did you stop drawing?”

Cooper got the first place in the admission examination.

But before he enrolled, he became an exchange student and flew to Europe to study another course. He only got back in the country three months ago.

This is why Florence had never met him after the admission examination.

Cooper was stunned for a second, then he replied in a helpless tone, “Some people can never choose how their life should be.”

Florence was in doubt. She could felt that there was a sad story beneath Cooper’s bright smile.

Although she was curious, she will never peek into others’ privacy.

“What do you want to eat?”

A surprising voice from a woman raised at the corridor when Florence was about to hand the menu over to Cooper.

“Cooper, I’ve finally found you!”

The smile on Cooper’s cheek froze. His handsome face looked emotionless.

That woman was pretty. She had a long brunette wavy hair. She was wearing a red LY haute couture tight dress, and she looked breath-taking and fashionable.

The woman quickly walked over in her high heels.

She looked at Cooper with tears in her eyes. She was choked with sobs.

“I knew you were back, so I flew back as well. I was only trying my luck here, but here you are! I found you! Cooper, this is the place we met. You are still missing me, and you still care about me, right?”

Cooper was sitting straight. His tall body looked stiff.

He raised his head after a few seconds. His eyes looked cold.

“Evelyn, you are only a stranger that meant nothing to me now. Please leave. Don’t disturb my dining time.”

It seems like Evelyn has expected such a reaction from Cooper. She bit her red lips and sat beside Cooper.

She approached him, and her voice was tender and determined.

“Cooper, I could not forget about you. I love you. It doesn’t matter if you’ll forgive me. I will never give up on you. This time, let me make it up to you. I will make you fall in love with me again.”

Florence understood now. This woman was Cooper’s ex-girlfriend.

And it seems like they had issues to settle.

Florence thought it is quite inappropriate for her, an outsider, to be here. So, she stood up and planned to leave some space for them.

However, Cooper grabbed her hand when she was about to leave.

Cooper held onto her so tight. It seemed like he was making a difficult decision, and he was determined.

Cooper then stood up and pulled Florence into his arms. They stood so close to each other as if they were a pair of a couple.

“Evelyn, I have a girlfriend now.”

Florence was stunned, and her lips trembled.

Was she an excuse for him?

Evelyn's face turned pale. She looked at Florence in an unbelievable look.

The only steadfast bargaining chip Evelyn had was that she was the only woman Cooper want…

Looking at Evelyn hurtful look, there was a dark emotion in Cooper’s eyes. He held onto Florence’s hand even tighter as if he was controlling his emotions.

Florence frowned as she felt pain came from her hand, but she endured it.

She felt curious. What is wrong with these two people? It seems like Cooper still loved her.

Cooper looked at Evelyn with a cold look, and he sounded even colder, “Don’t come looking for me anymore.”

He then left with Florence after that.

Looking at the back of Copper leaving the place. Evelyn stood stiffly. She felt sad and unreconciled.

She will not give up on Cooper no matter what.

That woman…

Evelyn became malicious as she glared at Florence’s direction.

Cooper let go of Florence after they got out of the restaurant. There was a sign of exhaustion on his handsome face.

“Sorry for saying that you are my girlfriend just now.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“It’s okay, I understand.”

Florence looked at Cooper, and she saw the sadness beneath his eyes.

He still had feelings towards Evelyn.

Florence asked curiously, “Why break up when both of you are clearly in love with each other?”
