Being struck by numerous questions, Ernest directly ignored all those journalists and fixed his unfathomable eyes on Florence. There was pampering in his eyes.

But as for whether to expose their relationship to the public, he asked Florence to decide on it. He actually asked Florence to decide on such an important matter.

She was really moved and her heart was thumping wildly. But her reasons constantly reminded her of their actual relationship. It was a huge gap that could not be gotten over. Florence even didn’t have the qualification to cross the gap. She evaded Ernest’s lines of sights. Neither did she dare to look at the media practitioners. Florence simply turned around and ran towards the backstage. She couldn’t admit or deny her relationship with Ernest now. So the wisest choice was to run away from the scene. Seeing that the protagonist was running away, an uproar rose among the media practitioners. “Miss Florence, please don’t leave. Please tell us that whether if you’re Mr. Hawkins’ girlfriend?” “Miss Florence…” The media practitioners asked eagerly.

I can protect, pamper and cherish you if you marry me and let you be the happiest woman in the world. You don’t have a crush on any other man and you have some feelings for me. Moreover, we’ve engaged, so getting married is the best choice for both of us. You don’t have any reasons to refuse me, even if you have to try to love me. ” He said word by word. But he was so reasonable that Florence felt nervous. Everyone was clear that Ernst was so outstanding. No one could deny this and he was powerful enough to be arrogant. Even Florence could not deny that it was hard for every woman to refuse him. It was also hard for Florence to refuse him. But…But even if everything was reasonable and logical, Florence knew deep down that he loved the other woman. Now that he had a crush on the other woman, then their marriage was doomed to be a marriage of convenience.

She didn’t flinch and simply stared at Ernest. “You’re rally outstanding and you’re a good man. You will be a nice husband. But I’m not that ambitious and I don’t ask for too much. What I want is just your wholehearted love during all your life. ”Ernest slightly frowned, “You think I can’t do that?”“You can’t. ” Florence answered word by word.

He showed her his feelings towards her, but she didn’t believe in her.
