My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 879

Collin was stunned. He only noticed Phoebe’s dark circles after Roan mentioned it.

Collin laughed at Phoebe, “Ha-ha. Phoebe, are you cosplaying the Pandas?”

Phoebe glared at Collin and gritted her teeth.

“You’re one to talk,” Phoebe thought.

Roan felt speechless.

Was Collin dumb or something? Did he laugh at Phoebe in front of Roan?

Roan felt like throwing Collin out of the house.

Roan took a deep breath tried to withhold his anger. After all, Collin was the only boyfriend Phoebe brought home and introduced to him.

It was all for Phoebe to get married, have a blessed life after, and not grow old alone.

Roan patted Collin’s shoulder and said patiently.

“Collin, you must take good care of your girlfriend in a relationship. You won’t have to be dominant, but you should care for her from time to time or else you won’t know when she’d run away with another guy. The world outside is filled with temptations.”

Collin felt confused to hear what Roan told him.

Girlfriend? Relationship? What did it have to do with him?

Roan sighed, “You see, I’m the open-minded kind of parent. I won’t forbid a young relationship. I knew what’s going on with you and Phoebe. You guys should be frank with me and settle down as soon as possible.”

The dining room went silent after hearing what Roan said.

Florence was initially eating. She stopped and looked at Stanford in sympathy.

Stanford just got together with Phoebe, but Roan mistook Collin as Phoebe’s boyfriend. Who knew how pissed off Stanford felt.

Stanford frowned. He immediately looked sulky and scary.

“I shouldn’t keep Collin here from the beginning,” Stanford thought.

Collin felt a sudden chill down his spine. At the same time, he felt someone glaring at him.

Collin immediately became nervous. He wanted to clarify that he wasn’t Phoebe’s boyfriend.

However, Phoebe acted faster than Collin.

“Father, you’ve made a mistake. Collin is not my boyfriend. Stanford is.”

Phoebe said it out loud and clear.

Again, everyone in the dining hall froze.

Florence stared at Phoebe in surprise. She never expected Phoebe to tell everyone frankly about Stanford at such a time.

Was Phoebe planning to take a step forward in the relationship?

Collin took a breath of relief. He was finally off the hook, and he’ll stay alive.

Stanford blinked his eyes and stared at Phoebe in surprise as well. He smiled lightly.

Ernest was the calmest person among them all. However, Roan was the total opposite. He was stunned and confused.

What did Roan hear?

He couldn’t believe what he heard.

Roan slammed the table and said, “Phoebe, it’s fine if you don’t want to be open about your relationship with Collin. I won’t force you to. You shouldn’t lie to me.”

Phoebe stared at Roan. She couldn’t understand why her father overreacted.

Roan knew Collin and Stanford at the same time. Roan should feel happy and accept Stanford now that Phoebe had explained everything, even if he initially thought Collin was Phoebe’s boyfriend.

Furthermore, Stanford was way better than Collin.

Phoebe looked at Roan and said earnestly, “Father, I’m telling the truth. Collin and I had been friends from the start. Stanford was the one I like.”

Stanford pouted. He stood up and told Roan, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jenkins. I’ll take good care of Phoebe, and I swear she’ll be safe and happy with me.”

Roan stared at Phoebe and Stanford. He became furious.

Phoebe and Stanford were really together.

Roan asked unbelievably, “What happened? I saw you kissing Collin the other night on the stairs.”

Phoebe got triggered hearing Roan’s accusation. She glanced at Stanford, then quickly denied it, “Father, what are you saying? I’ve never kissed Collin!”

As far as Phoebe remembered, she was never close to Collin. Collin hated her because of what had happened to the equipment.

Equipment? Yes!

Phoebe suddenly remembered, “Father, you said you saw me kissing Collin. Was it the night when they first came, and I was talking to Collin in the corridor? Was that what you saw?”

Phoebe could almost confirm her assumption.

That was the only time Collin and Phoebe stayed in the same place alone. Roan had been trying to match-make them since that day.

Roan looked serious, “Yes, I saw you two standing together, and you were hugging and kissing each other.”

He wouldn’t mistake what he saw.

Suddenly, the handle of Stanford’s chair was crushed.

Collin was shaking. He quickly explained, “Misunderstanding! It was a misunderstanding!”

“I went to Phoebe to ask her to pay me back on the equipment she destroyed. It was nighttime, and we stood quite near. So, people might mistake up hugging and kissing from a certain angle. It’s true! I swear to you. I know you like Phoebe, and I would never touch her.”

Collin raised his hand and swore earnestly.

However, Roan became disappointed in himself.

Collin’s action had proven that Stanford and Phoebe were together.

And Roan had got it wrong from the beginning. He tried to match-make the wrong couple.

It was…

Embarrassing.

Roan was pissed. He asked Phoebe, “When did you two get together?”

Phoebe answered honestly, “Three days ago.”

Roan felt speechless, and he was in despair.

Roan stood up immediately and pulled Phoebe up from her seat, then headed outside.

Phoebe had to run a little to follow Roan. She asked, “What are you doing, father? I haven’t finished my breakfast yet.”

“Breakfast? You dare mention breakfast? I should have put more restrictions on you. Then, you might not turn out like this.”

Roan scolded Phoebe loudly. He seemed furious.

Stanford stared in the direction Roan and Phoebe left. He had a bad feeling.

Florence glanced in the same direction. Then, she sized Stanford up.

“Stanford, did you make Mr. Jenkins unhappy at some point in time?”

Stanford shook his head, “I didn’t.”

They never had any fights before. They were even talking politely to each other before Phoebe spilt the truth.

Florence got even more surprised, “What is it then? He seemed like he doesn’t like Phoebe get together with you.”

Stanford looked sulkier.

He never expected that his future father-in-law would dislike him.

It was unbelievable.
