The relationship between Florence and Ernest was confirmed again. They were not brother and sister, but a couple!
Since then, everything he had done for so long, including the thought of marrying Florence, was useless from beginning to end.
All the expectations in her heart seemed to collapse in an instant.
Hector’s face turned deathly pale, and his tall body shook so violently that he could hardly stand still.
Feeling sorry for him, Bonnie held him up and said worriedly, “Duke Hector, don’t do that. I’m worried about you.”
As if Hector hadn’t heard Bonnie’s words, he stared at Florence, struggling fiercely.
He said in a low voice, word for word. “Florence, is it also a lie that you like me?”
Florence felt both guilty and helpless.
She pursed her lips and said apologetically, “I don’t know why you misunderstood me. I always want to persuade you to give up, but I have to make it clear now. I’m really sorry, Hector.”
Florence said sincerely. She also felt sorry for Hector.
Although she had been passive and helpless on this matter, and she had tried to tell Hector to give up, she and Ernest had chosen not to tell him clearly because of their goal.
That’s why Hector has done so much these days. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Hector looked at Florence in a daze. He didn’t want to believe her, but he had to.
The woman he loved was actually someone else’s fiancee, and she had never loved him in her heart.
The love he thought was just an illusion.
“Haha.”
Hector laughed bitterly. “I didn’t expect that I, Hector, would be defeated by a woman one day.”
He seemed to think highly of him, but he didn’t expect that his charm was worthless in others’ eyes.
During this period of time, everything he had done was as ridiculous and pathetic as a contemptible scoundrel.
But he was looking forward to marrying Florence.
This day would never happen from the very beginning.
“Good, very good.”
Hector stepped back with a miserable look on his face. “Florence, you are really a special woman. You are so special.”
She was so special that she made him lost his mind and she even played tricks on him.
He had never had such a heart wrenching feeling. It was so painful as if the sky had collapsed and everything had been destroyed.
Florence felt depressed. She looked at Hector with her heavy eyes and opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say.
She hurt him, but she couldn’t say any words to comfort her.
She just didn’t expect such a day would come so soon. She had thought that she could leave quietly and Hector would forget her if he couldn’t find her.
Ernest gently held Florence’s cold hand to comfort her.
He looked at Hector coldly. “If you have any complaints or grudges, come to me. No matter what it is, I will take it.”
He would pay for Florence’s guilt.
Even though Ernest didn’t feel guilty to Hector, he even wanted to kill Hector countless times.
If it weren’t for the rules of Raflad that a woman couldn’t refuse a man’s proposal, otherwise, she would be humiliated by everyone and driven out of the city, he wouldn’t give Hector any chance to pursue Florence.
The three conditions were just a stalling tactic.
Hector looked at Ernest coldly and said, “well, okay. Ernest has been making fun of me for such a long time. Let’s see if you can take my move!”
Florence frowned. She really didn’t want to cause any more trouble, nor did she want to fight with Hector and become an enemy.
“Hector, don’t do that…”
“Why do you defend him so much? Are you afraid that he will be embarrassed?”
Hector’s eyes were burning with anger. He looked at Florence, “That’s right. Ernest is your fiance. The person you love has always been him! It’s my fault. I haven’t seen through for so long. I thought you were just brother and sister. I’m so stupid. I’m so stupid.”
Hector laughed sarcastically and desperately.
Bonnie’s heart ached when she saw this. She held Hector’s arm tightly, fearing that he would fall down if he couldn’t hold on.
She sobbed, “Duke Hector, don’t do this. It’s just a misunderstanding. You can find a better woman…”
“Who else can be so good as Florence? She is so special that I’m attracted.”
Hector laughed even more ironically. He raised his hand and pulled it out of Bonnie’s arms.
He turned around and stumbled out of the door.
He didn’t want to stay here any longer.
“Duke Hector…”
Bonnie was worried and hurried to catch up with him. Hector was still seriously injured and couldn’t walk steadily. If he was alone, he might faint on the roadside.
Watching the two of them leave one after another, Florence’s heart was indescribably heavy and depressed.
She had never thought of hurting Hector like this.
But she really hurt him. That unruly man often laughed like an idiot. But she saw such desperate pain on his face.
If it weren’t for her, he would still be free and arrogant, heartless.
“It’s not your fault.”
As if he had seen through Florence’s mind, Ernest held her hand tightly.
“Love is not something right or wrong. You are so good. It’s reasonable for him to fall in love with you, but you are mine. So no matter Hector or anyone else is destined to be sad.”
Ernest’s reasonable attitude stopped Florence being depressed.
As he said, the moment Hector fell in love with her, he was doomed to be disappointed.
But she didn’t make him give up at the first time.
No one could tell whether love was right or wrong.
Andrew frowned and looked worriedly at the direction Hector left. After hesitating for a while, he said worriedly, “Duke Hector seems to be very angry. Now that Stanley has fallen down, he is the one who is in power under the Raflad. You suddenly came here with so many people, will he take advantage of the issue to seek personal revenge?”
If so, it would be troublesome.
What’s more, Ernest was just injured and couldn’t fight with him.
Stanford pursed his lips and looked at her with sharp eyes.
“If he dares to come, I will kill all of them.”
There was no trace of joking in his bloodthirsty words.
Hearing this, Andrew tensed up subconsciously, with cold sweat falling from his forehead.
This man was horrible.
If such a thing really happened, would they slaughter a large number of palace guards and then fight against the entire Raflad?
The scene was bloody and trembling.
