Chương 809: Abrupt News

After our mild introductions and brief complimentary greetings, I began to talk to Maria's parents.

Surprisingly, they weren't as bad as I imagined.

Duke Franklin was a charming man, who cared for his daughter much more than his expression allowed him to show. I somehow got the vibe of my father when I spoke to him.

A man who was quite busy, but loved her more than words could tell.

As for Maria's mother—Lilia—she was someone who had a jumpy body and a very active personality. It just felt odd that she remained stoic the whole time.

If she could change expressions the slightest bit, I could peg her as a very playful woman. Fortunately, it didn't really bother me after talking to both of them for some time.

'They're really good people.' I concluded within myself.

I honestly couldn't wait till we officially sealed the deal between our families.

"Psst! Hey, Jared!" A voice suddenly called out of nowhere, interrupting the small talk that was going on between both of our families.
