My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins
Chapter 111: Never mind, I Shouldn’t Have Argued with A Drunkard
“Hahahaha.”
Hoots of derisive laughter exploded in the room as the lads did not even bother to restrain their jeering at the sight of him being kicked away.
Harold picked himself up from the ground in exasperation and scowled at the onlookers, “What the hell are you laughing at? If any one of you thinks you’re capable of getting him up, be my guest by all means.”
The taunting wave of laughter ended abruptly, and the room instantly fell into silence to the extent that one could have heard a pin dropping on the ground.
Even though Ernest was wasted, his menacing aura and the way he threw blows at people whom was trying to get close to him were as intimidating as ever, hence no one was willing to risk their lives to help him get up despite having egg on their faces after jeering at Harold.
However, they were even more worried about the consequences if they were to ditch him in the room and left by themselves.
A bunch of them stared at each other in bleak dismay for a while with dumbfounded looks on their faces as they were suddenly at a loss to the way to get Ernest home.
“What if we get a woman to help him up instead?” someone suggested.
“Even if Ernest is supported home this way, you will be beaten to death by him tomorrow.” Another man sneered at his foolish idea as they all were clued-up on Ernest’s detestation towards being in contact with any woman in general.
It was apparent from their all-male only gatherings as he had always prohibited the lot to call women in for the fun.
Harold’s eyes lit up when a brilliant idea suddenly came to his mind, “Other women are certainly out of the question, but don’t forget that Florence is an exception!”
Furthermore, this would be an excellent opportunity to create some spark between them while she cared for the intoxicated Ernest on her own. What a genius he was, Harold thought to himself.
Harold swiftly dialed Florence’s number to push forward with his plan.
Florence was already in sound asleep, but the sound of her pressing ringtone had woken her up in the middle of the night.
She picked it up without opening her eyes, “Who is it? What’s the matter?”
“It’s me, Harold. Ernest is dead drunk in the bar now, so could you come and pick him up, Florence?”
“No.” She rejected his plea without a single hint of hesitation as she was unwilling to look at Ernest’s face now.
