One of the neighbors who was passing by smirked. "Hey, pretty boy, here for Madam Gloria again? Why is she still not letting you in her house?"
The man who was holding the flowers immediately smiled. "Yes. Gloria is an honorable woman. All honorable women are hard to pursue. I know that. I have patience and I am sincere. I am serious about Gloria. I am willing to wait for her."
"How old are you?" someone asked the man.
"I am forty-two this year," answered the man. "Do I look very old?"
A neighbor smiled. "No. You don't look like you're forty-two at all. Instead, you look like you're about thirty-seven years old." The man laughed with embarrassment. " Haha. Thank you. Thank you."
All the neighbors snickered and left.
"Sabrina, I truly think that this man is a kept man who deliberately flirts with women. There's even a possibility that he i s a scammer." Ruth has always been very blunt with her words. After she said that, she suddenly felt that she had said something wrong. "Sabrina, I-I don't mean i t like that. How could Madam Gloria be scammed? Look at this foul mouth of mine."
Ruth truly felt that she should not have said what she had said. Gloria cared for Ruth very much like she was her biological mother. When Ruth married into the Poole family, Gloria even gave her a lucrative wedding gift.
"I know Madam Gloria. She is not the kind o
f person who is easily cheated. Don't worry, Sabrina. Don’t worry," Ruth said.
