Franklin's father turned his head and looked at him. His expression was slightly angry at first, but it immediately changed to a smiling face. "Lucille is here."
The woman next to Franklin saw him and greeted, "Nice to meet you, Uncle Moore."
The woman's voice was sweet and she didn't look very old.
However, she was obviously not the same model who had gone to the diamond ring auction with Franklin before.
Thinking about it, Coralie looked sympathetically at the woman.
"Kid, you have to treat Lucille well. Stop fooling around and do not let her down, do you understand?"
Franklin's father knew his character. Although there were outsiders present, he couldn't help but advise Franklin.
"OK, OK," Franklin nodded, but his tone was obviously impatient when he said, "Someone else is getting engaged, and you are trying to upstage the host?"
Franklin's relationship with his father did not look good at first glance.
Garrett also knew that if he stayed there any longer, they would have fought. He could only turn to Skylar and say, "You youngsters have a chat. I'll go over and have a seat first."
"Sure, Mr. Moore. Your seat is over there."
Skylar pointed at a table.
Once Garrett left, Franklin let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and said to Skylar, "Let me introduce my girlfriend to you. This is Lucille Jules."
"Nice to meet both of you, President Holland and Mrs. Holland."
Lucille said softly.
She looked very shy at first glance, as she did not raise her gaze at Skylar and Coralie when she spoke.
Franklin lifted his hand, touched her hair and said, "She's just like that, timid and not eloquent."
Lucille lowered her head and shook her head desperately when she heard this. "I will try my best to get used to it."
"What a mismatched couple; a beautiful woman with an undeserving man."
Seeing the pair, Skylar spoke decisively.
"Hey!"
Coralie was by his side. She was thinking of the same thing and did not dare say it. However, she did not expect Skylar to be so blunt.
When Franklin heard Skylar's words, he immediately became upset and said, "Uncle, I was willing to do anything for you back then. Can you not do this?"
"I feel sorry for this lady."
Skylar's voice was flat and calm. He spoke in an ordinary tone, but his words carried criticism.
"No, Mr. Moore treats me well. He is very considerate of my feelings. I'm a timid person, and yet he does not blame me when I don't speak much."
Lucille lowered her head and spoke softly.
Her voice was so gentle that Coralie had to listen very closely to hear what she was saying.
"Mr. Moore, have you decided to be with Lucille, or are you only acting in front of your father today, and you're going to be with another girl after a few days?"
Coralie initially did not want to say anything, but she really thought that Lucille was a fine lady.
Just as Skylar said, if she married Franklin, they would definitely be a mismatched pair as Franklin didn't deserve Lucille at all.
"Oh, Miss Chariott, I'm very sad when you say that to me. Actually, I am very dedicated. You see, I was crushing on you for many years before, and if it wasn't for..."
"If you don't want me to throw you out, you'd better stop this topic."
Before Franklin could finish his sentence, Skylar interrupted him.
Coralie was a self-conscious person, and when she saw that Franklin was talking about this matter, Lucille's hand, which was holding Franklin's arm, trembled. She also secretly looked up and peeped at her.
