The engagement banquet had just begun at 11. There was a simple speech ceremony when the delicious food was served at the table. The two old men held the microphone and they all wanted each other to speak first. The atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.
Old Grant started. He looked benevolently at the pair of young men standing next to him and sighed emotionally, "In my memory, Joseph was still just a quiet, beautiful young man. He held a book every day and sat in the pavilion in front of our house to read a book, and he sat there for half a day. Sometimes, he would forget to eat, so he had to be urged. I thought he was too quiet and I wanted to throw him into a group of girls. "
Old Grant's words instantly gave rise to laughter. Joseph Grant was speechless, why did his grandfather say all these?
"However, he might have realized that his quiet personality disgusted me, so he started playing football and socializing in high school. As far as I know, there's one of his closest friends sitting in the VIP seats right now." Old Grant smiled as he looked at Edwards Wayne. Edwards Wayne raised his wine cup and indicated towards him.
Joseph Grant's handsome face flushed red, he had the urge to quickly snatch his grandfather's microphone and not let him continue. It took so much effort to maintain his lofty image, he was afraid that he would lose.
Alvina listened with a face full of joy and anticipation. She really wanted to hear more about Joseph Grant's childhood and how he had grown up.
"In the blink of an eye, my grandson is going to be engaged. When his beloved girl arrives, I wish this young couple good luck. Thank you all for finding the time to come." Old Grant seemed to realize that his grandson's face had turned red, so he could only remain silent. A few words of thanks ended his speech.
Old Miller held the microphone and laughed: "I don't want to say anything sad. Today is a good day for my granddaughter, Alvina. I only hope that she will be happy in the future."
Alvina looked at her grandfather, her eyes tearing up. She wanted to cry, but she held himself back.
It was unknown when the microphone was handed to Joseph Grant, but as he held it in his hand, he felt it to be somewhat heavy, and didn't know what to say for the moment.
If he was asked to speak in the conference room or during his work, he would definitely be calm and unhurried. However, at this moment, he felt that his mind was somewhat empty.
"Alvina, do you want to say something?" Joseph Grant lowered his head and asked gently.
Alvina shook her head: "I don't want to say, how about we let the guests eat?"
Alvina wasn't a person who liked to stir up emotions in the first place, furthermore, her mouth was stupid. When she faced so many distinguished guests, her mind was completely blank. She felt that love words would have to be kept locked up for Joseph Grant to hear alone, but she couldn't say a single word in front of so many people.
"Big Brother, you didn't even forget your engagement ring, right?" Wendy asked while grinning.
It was only then that Joseph Grant realized that he had forgotten about another very important matter. Because the engagement ceremony today was very simple, without even asking the host to liven it up. It was easy for him to forget about many things once he tensed up.
Joseph Grant then extended his hand to look for the storage ring's box, and Warren Hilton walked over: "Sir, your ring is here."
Joseph Grant suddenly remembered that he had put the small box in his briefcase. He blushed and quickly reached out to take it from Warren Hilton's hands.
"I had so many things to do last night that I forgot for a while." Joseph Grant was also a little embarrassed.
