My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 635: Too Cute for Me to Remain Calm

Florence nodded, looking at Ernest determinedly.

No matter how difficult it would be, she would definitely be with him together.

Ernest gazed at her deeply, curling up his lips into a doting smile. He held her hand more tightly.

Stanford stared at them unhappily and said in a cold tone, “Florence, you can’t go to find the herbs now?”

“Why not?” Florence blurted out, looking quite anxious.

If it weren’t that they still had to stay here to deal with the rest of matters, she would have gone out to look for the herbs with Ernest already.

The matter was critical to Ernest’s life and death. She couldn’t wait for another one minute or one second. She must go with Ernest in person.

Stanford’s cold gaze swept between them and focused on Ernest.

He said in a cold tone, “If you want to be together aboveboard, Ernest, you must obtain our parents’ permission before taking Florence with you.”

Although Stanford agreed to let them be together, Florence must obtain their parents’ permission before she could go out to look for the herbs with Ernest, as she needed to leave the family for a long time and the trip would be quite dangerous.

Florence instantly creased her pretty brows.

They were still hiding Clarence’s matter from her parents, who might still think that Clarence and she were spending the honeymoon together. They had no idea that she was with Ernest.

Although so many things had happened between Ernest and her, for her parents, all of them were based on lies. When they saw Ernest, probably they would still kick him out immediately.

She was afraid that it would be quite difficult for her parents to agree.

However, Ernest couldn’t have much time to wait now.

He only had three years, which could be long and short in different aspects. Those three herbs were so difficult to find. Probably they had to spend one year or two on one of them.

Hence, Florence had to leave her family for a few months or even a few years.

As their daughter, if she wouldn’t inform her parents, she would be quite unfilial. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Florence hesitated, looking disappointed and regretful.

Looking at Florence’s expression, Ernest felt sorry for her. Reaching out his big palm, he rubbed her hair.

He said in a magnetic and elegant voice, “I should go to meet your parents.”

Florence said with hesitation, “But...”

“No worries. This time, no matter what happens, I’ll never be separated from you again.”

As if he had figured out what worried Florence, Ernest added determined as if he was making a vow, “I promise I’ll take you with me to find the herbs.”

Looking at Ernest’s determined expression, Florence finally became easy and calmed down.

She glinted at him and said, “We can’t waste too much time. If my parents kept troubling you and didn’t agree, we could sneak out together. Promise me!”

Stanford was speechless.

He was still with them, but Florence said those words. She feared nothing with Ernest at her back, didn’t she?

Ernest smiled helplessly. He tightened his arms around Florence.

He said in a delightful voice, “Florence, you are too cute for me to remain calm.”

Florence instantly blushed, clenching her hands into fists and throwing punches on his shoulder.

“I’m talking to you seriously!”

Ernest kept teasing her.

She wondered what was in his mind. He looked elegant, graceful, wise, and sharp, but all were faked. Probably he was still driven by his private part, wasn’t he?

Florence was depressed.

After ensuring that both Ernest and Florence would go back to the Fraser family later, the Turners all had their own thoughts and worries.

As their master, Theodore said, “Mr. Fraser, Ernest is the only heir in our Turner family. If he could be cured, he would become the mast of our family. Hence, the Turner family fully supported them.”

He told Stanford the Turner family’s current attitude.

Since the Turners knew that Ernest had the genetic disease, the balances in all of their hearts were titled instantly. As long as Ernest could be cured, no matter how unrestrained he was, they believed that he would be the best candidate to become their next master.

The Turner family’s treasury that had been sealed for many years finally was opened because of him, so that the Turner family would progress higher and probably become a superpower.

Stanford wasn’t surprised to hear it. All the Turners were born cold-blooded and interest-oriented.

If it weren’t that Ernest and Florence had loved each other so deeply, Sanford would never agree to let his treasured sister marry into the Turner family.

After all, any girl in the family branches could be chosen to have the marriage for convenience.

Stanford kept silent instead of supporting or denying, which implied that he agreed.

Theodore didn’t receive any response, feeling a bit unhappy, but he was quite satisfied with the result.

The biggest trouble was Ernest’s disease now. He wondered if the herbs could be found and Ernest’s disease could be cured completely.

Theodore turned around and looked over at Collin.

He asked, “Mr. Campbell, what are the three herbs needed to cure Ernest? I have a lot of networks and resources all over the world as well. I’ll check if I could find them. If not, I can send my men to look for them together. There is strength in numbers.”

Besides, he believed that the Turner family was quite powerful. Hence, the possibility of success in finding the herbs would be improved.

Collin cast an ironic glance at Theodore and then glanced at the elders in the Turner family. He snorted coldly.

“A few hours ago, you all wanted to abolish Ernest and punish him. I can’t ask you to help us find the life-saving herbs. What if anyone of you ruins it after getting the herbs?”

“That couldn’t happen certainly!” one of the elders stood up and said affirmatively.

Collin looked at him coldly. He looked over at the gray-haired elder, who was standing there with a darkened face, “How about you, Mister? I don’t think you agree.”

Everyone followed his gaze to look over at the gray-haired elder.

All the Turners’ expressions changed and their faces darkened. Upon all the gray-haired elder’s reactions today, they knew that he had taken Benjamin’s side.

Even he had known Ernest’s excellent genes, the gray-haired elder wasn’t delighted either.

Obviously, with his genes that contained the genetic disease of the family, Ernst still couldn’t get any support from Aldrich.

As a stubborn man, Aldrich would absolutely ruin the herb if he could find any one of them.

Thinking of that, the Turners couldn’t retort what Collin said, feeling quite annoyed. They gazed at the gray-haired elder extremely unhappily.

In an instant, the gray-haired older became a target for all.

Theodore also looked embarrassed.

With a solemn look, he was silent for a moment and then said, “Mr. Campbell, please rest assured. Ernest is the heir of our Turner family with the most precious gene. All our family members will fully support him together.

“Of course, as for the herbs and where to find them, it’s confidential information. If we would send someone to find them, we would send the most trustworthy ones.”

As he spoke, Theodore paused a bit and cast a meaningful glance at the gray-haired elder. He added, “Our Turner family will never let anyone with evil intentions join the herb search.”

He didn’t mention anyone’s name, but everyone understood that he targeted Aldrich.

Aldrich, the leading elder who was respected by all the family members, suddenly became repelled and alerted by others.
