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.
"James Dunn, what are you doing? You're here at my door every day. Aren't you afraid of being a laughing stock?" Gloria said while smiling. She did not sound at all like she was blaming the man who gave her the flowers.
"Gloria..." The man named James immediately turned around and smiled at Gloria. "Gloria, look, this bouquet of roses is all hand-picked by myself. Red ones, yellow ones, and blue ones. There are all kinds of them in there and they are all fresh. I know you love flowers the most. I also know that of all the flowers, you love roses the most. I know that you are a romantic person. Gloria, if you like, I'll send you flowers on time every day. But, Gloria, n o matter how pretty these roses are, they still look pale in comparison to your elegant and mature temperament."
The man kept calling her name endearingly. Every word that he said was indeed sweet nothings in order to flatter women. Sabrina could not help but frown when she heard them. However, Gloria beamed brighter and brighter. "You're so good with your words!"
Sabrina was speechless. At that moment, she was so angry that she wanted to get out of the car and pushed her mother into the yard. However, before she made a move, three women rushed out from the side and had Gloria surrounded.
"Wow! I didn’t expect an old woman like you to be doing such a thing!" Ashnah raised her eyebrows and mocked Gloria.
