My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 875

Florence was startled as she was afraid that Stanford might know about their night and then stop them. She would not tell him the truth of course.

She smiled and said hurriedly, “Those’re whispers between a couple. If you want to know, just talk to Phoebe.”

Stanford felt uneasy and showed an indifferent expression after hearing that.

He could not help but glance at Phoebe. When he was about to have eye contact with her, he turned away instantly.

What was he thinking about? He would actually get nervous!

Stanford put down his chopsticks immediately and said seriously.

“I’m done eating. You guys continue.”

He stood up and turned around after saying that.

He left in an unrestrained manner.

Phoebe was stunned while looking at him. She was puzzled as Stanford had not eaten anything yet and he just went away like that?

When he left, he did not even glance at her.

In contrast to Ernest’s intimate interaction with Florence before leaving, Stanford’s behaviour was completely different.

Where was the intimacy between lovers?

Phoebe was disappointed. She looked at Stanford’s back in dismay while feeling empty in her heart.

However, she did not know how to express it.

After Stanford had left, Phoebe did not have much appetite as all the food seemed to be not that tasty anymore.

It was at night.

Phoebe did not wear her pyjamas after taking a shower. Instead, she wore a nice dress.

She nestled down on the sofa with her phone. She would look in the direction of the door from time to time. Her heart was pounding rapidly in anticipation.

She had made such a big decision to get along with him today. She wondered if Stanford would come and talk to her at night later.

After all, couples generally wanted to be in touch together when they fell in love.

Phoebe looked forward to it and she was mentally prepared.

Meanwhile, she kept staring at her phone as she hoped that Stanford would probably send her a message.

Even if it was just a message asking her if she had slept already, she could accept it anyway.

However, she did not receive any message after waiting for a long time.

Just as she was drowsy and disappointed, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Phoebe’s eyes were wide open as she was excited. She sprang up and then ran to the door cheerfully.

Her heart was pounding even rapidly when she listened carefully to the sound of the approaching footsteps.

Was it Stanford?

Was he coming to find her?

Was the person Stanford?

She was so excited yet nervous. However, the sound of footsteps stopped before coming to her door.

Phoebe’s heart sank suddenly.

She trembled while holding the doorknob. She would just open it if he knocked on the door.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

The gentle knocking sound was heard by her.

Phoebe stopped moving when she was about to open the door. The sound was not right as it was coming from the next room!

She was dumbfounded while the joy on her face disappeared.

Stanford had not come over to see her.

After a while, the door next to her room was opened. Florence’s sound could be heard.

“Why are you here? Didn’t you ask me to come to your room and find you?”

“You never came. So, I had come to find you.” Ernest said in a husky voice.

“I’m taking a shower and I haven’t cleaned up yet…”

“Never mind. I will sleep in this room tonight.”

Then, the door was closed. Both of them did not make any noise afterwards.

Phoebe stood still at the doorway. She felt so sad as if her heart was clogged with a cotton ball.

The higher her expectation, the more she got disappointed.

She had really thought too much. Stanford would not come to find her.

When she looked at her WhatsApp again, she did not receive any message. Stanford had not even sent her a single message.

Phoebe lay down on the sofa. She felt slightly dull being with him together.

They did not even contact on the first day they had got along together. She was really upset as nobody could comfort her.

Perhaps…

Stanford was not like those ordinary men since his behaviour was different from others.

Perhaps…

He was not used to it yet as they had just been together. So, he did not know how to treat her and care for her.

Phoebe was trying to find all sorts of excuses for him. She kept calming her restless heart.

It was a long and sleepless night.

Ernest had almost investigated and collected all the information regarding the Harris family in three days.

He even came out with a series of plans on how to deal with the Harris family.

Meanwhile, Kieran was also about to return to the Harris family.

Ernest now started to do his final work. Everything would be fine after Kieran had returned and only then they followed up.

As things were going smoothly, everybody was in a good mood under a lively atmosphere at home.

However, Phoebe was getting even depressed.

It was just because of Stanford rather than anything else.

She did not know how to express this issue at all. She and Stanford were indeed a couple in a relationship. However, the sad thing was that Stanford had not taken the initiative to find her at least once in the past three days.

They only met each other at the dining table. Worse still, the atmosphere was the same as before. He was busy having his meal and did not have any interaction with her.

If he had not spoken up to take the responsibility that day, Phoebe would have thought that she did not have any relationship with him at all.

They did not have any contact for the past three days. Stanford did not take any initiative.

She could have found excuses for him for the first two days as he might be busy. But today, Phoebe stood at the balcony while looking at the man who was having tea leisurely in the garden behind. She could not appease herself anymore.

He was so free having tea but did not even want to date her! He could at least talk to her for a while.

Phoebe was gloomy and depressed, “Does Stanford really like me? Perhaps, I may have guessed wrongly.”

If he liked her, he would not have been so indifferent to her but would take the initiative to get in touch with her.

Florence also felt sick of the man having tea leisurely below her.

She also did not understand why her brother was so dull and did not take the initiative to get in touch with Phoebe?

It was said that people could not wait to get in touch with somebody they loved. However, why didn’t Stanford have such intention at all?

If Ernest did not affirm that Stanford really loved Phoebe, she would still have suspected that Stanford did not like Phoebe.

She thought about it and said hesitantly.

“My brother probably might not know how to deal with his relationship?”

Phoebe who was gloomy seemed to find a glimpse of hope suddenly, “Really?”

She thought that it might be possible as Florence was familiar with Stanford. After all, Stanford was the young master of the Fraser family as well as the apple of the eye. Moreover, he was capable and outstanding as if a lotus on the mountain peak.

Nobody could compete with him.

He also never seemed to get along with women before. He did not have any experience dealing with love relationships or even women.

Florence blinked her eyes and spoke.
