“Alas.”
Lying on the bed and looking at the dim ceiling, Florence couldn’t help but sigh.
The man’s low voice came from her ear, “What’s wrong? We are leaving tomorrow. Are you reluctant to leave?”
Ernest noticed that Florence was in a bad mood these two days and she didn’t have any joy to leave here.
Afraid that Ernest might misunderstand her, Florence shook her head.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said frankly, “I’m just worried about Bonnie. She and Hector should like each other, but I don’t know what’s going on between them, and they just don’t make it clear. If it goes on like this, maybe the two of them will miss each other.”
When she thought of the depressed look on Bonnie’s face, she was afraid that this matter would cause permanent harm to Bonnie’s heart.
The two of them would also have lifelong regrets.
Ernest twisted his fingers around Florence’s hair and said indifferently, “It’s their own business. Don’t worry.”
He didn’t like her to worry about other men, and women.
In Ernest’s arms, Florence felt a little helpless. “Love is the matter about two people. I also can’t do anything.”
She was just worried about them.
“If you can’t do anything, then don’t think about it anymore. Why don’t you think more about us?”
“Us?” Florence asked in confusion.
In the dim light, she blinked and stared at Ernest.
She saw that the man’s handsome face suddenly approached, and he kissed her when she felt his hot breath.
At the same time, his hand subconsciously slipped into her clothes.
Florence’s body tensed up and she felt as if a small fire was burning.
She grabbed his hand in panic and said in a low voice. “Don’t… your wound hasn’t recovered yet…”
“Just be gentle.”
His deep voice was filled with sexual desire.
It seemed that Florence was going to be burnt. Her heart was beating fast. “But, but…”
“Florence, I miss you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ernest kissed on Florence’s lips again.
The overbearing kiss was so lingering that it made people’s mind go blank.
Florence didn’t even have time to figure it out. They were together every day. Why did he still miss her?
However, Ernest told her with practical action
On the early morning of the second day, Stanford, Collin and the bodyguards were standing in the yard and ready to leave.
After a while, Ernest showed up with Florence.
Stanford glanced at Ernest unhappily and ordered, “get ready to go.”
“Yes, sir.”
The bodyguards answered in unison. Then they checked whether their belongings were enough and were ready to set out.
Looking at this scene, Florence knew that the day to leave Raflad was finally coming.
Andrew walked up to them and said, “Mr. Fraser, Ms. Fraser, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Campbell, be careful all the way.”
Ernest nodded gracefully. “Thank you for taking care of us these days.”
Andrew was flattered. With a bright smile on his face, he said, “that’s what I should do. But my wife brought trouble to Ms. Fraser before. I still feel guilty till now.”
Hearing this, Florence shook her head in a hurry.
“It’s all over. It doesn’t matter. Mr. Andrew, thank you very much for your help these days. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have found the medicine so soon.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Andrew went to say goodbye to Collin.
Bonnie walked up to Florence and said seriously, “Florence, safe journey. Take care of yourself.”
Her eyes twinkled with obvious reluctance.
Bonnie lived in Raflad since she was born. She wouldn’t leave Raflad for the rest of her life. If there was no accident, Florence wouldn’t come to Raflad in her life.
This was a permanent separation.
Florence was also sad. She held Bonnie’s hand tightly and said, “Bonnie, if you have the chance to come outside in the future, you must come to me.”
“Okay.”
Bonnie nodded with a smile. She also wanted to see how Florence had grown up, but she wouldn’t have the chance in her life.
She was just an ordinary woman in Raflad. In the future, she would marry an ordinary man and have children. She would never have the chance to leave Raflad in her life.
Because the people in Raflad would not go out.
Knowing this, Florence couldn’t help but feel sad. She just wanted to keep each other in mind, so that they wouldn’t say goodbye forever.
While they were talking, the door of the yard was pushed open from the outside.
A group of people carrying red boxes came in.
Florence remembered these red boxes. The last time Hector proposed to her, she brought similar boxes with her.
It seemed that this was the Raflad’s proposal etiquette.
But who would come to Andrew’s house to propose at this time?
Florence frowned and had a bad feeling.
Then she saw a man in a formal suit slowly walking over among the group of people carrying the boxes.
It was Hector.
Florence’s pupils were dilated and looked at Hector in astonishment. He brought a lot of betrothal presents, what did he want to do?
She was a little flustered. They were about to leave, she hoped Hector didn’t make any more trouble.
She couldn’t afford it.
When Bonnie saw Hector, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
Her face was trembling violently, and a sharp pain arose in her heart. Her face turned pale in an instant.
Propose.
Even at this time, Hector still didn’t give up. Did he want to ask Florence to stay now?
Or he wanted to force Florence to marry him?
Bonnie felt very sad and envious. Hector’s love for Florence was so deep and persistent.
Knowing the grudge between Florence and Hector, Andrew felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy when she saw Hector.
He walked up to her in a hurry and said with a smile, “Duke Hector, what are you doing here?”
Andrew decisively ignored a pile of boxes.
Hector looked at Andrew politely, slightly bent down and said seriously, “I’m here to propose.”
Andrew was stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.
“Well…” he scratched his hair awkwardly.
It was impossible for Florence to marry Hector. Although it was an undeniable custom in Raflad when a man proposed to a woman, Florence would not follow it.
Would they have a fierce fight in his yard?
Florence’s scalp tingled for a while. ‘Hector is indeed here to make trouble again,’ she thought.
She didn’t want to fight.
What should she do?
When she was so anxious and didn’t know what to do, a big hand gently held her small hand.
