Chapter 1028

Lara wore a light blue dress and high heels, her wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, making her appear even more delicate and endearing.

Her beautiful face had only a light touch of makeup, but her eyes were filled with a shimmering gaze as she looked at Franklin.

There was a hint of shy hesitation in her eyes.

Suppressing the amazement and attraction she felt towards Franklin's handsome appearance, she spoke in a melodious voice, "Mr. Maskelyne, I didn't really want to go on this blind date or meet you. But my family has been pressuring me. After all... I'm already twenty-five. They are eager to marry me off to a wealthy husband."

As she spoke, she observed Franklin's expression. "I'm just being forced. You don't need to be hostile towards me. I heard you already have a wife?"

Franklin's expression remained indifferent, and his tone did not soften despite her explanation. He spoke coldly.

"Miss Fox, I don't care about your reasons or methods; they have nothing to do with me. I won't cooperate with you in any pretense of friendship. I'm married, and I maintain a certain distance from other women. That's the basic standard of behavior for a husband."

Lara was stunned, feeling as if someone had struck her heart with a heavy blow.

She had intended to use a gentle approach to slowly get close to Franklin, staying by his side under the guise of friendship.

Given enough time, she believed she would eventually have a chance with this man.

But Franklin was completely unresponsive to her tactics.

Her chest tightened with anger, but she held it in.

At a previous banquet, she had fallen deeply for Franklin at first sight.

She had even lowered herself to approach him, but he had coldly distanced himself from her.

The more he acted this way, the more interested she became in him.

No man had ever been indifferent to her; after all, she was the daughter of an oil tycoon!

Her family background, looks, temperament, and personal qualities were unmatched.

She was a favored child of heaven!

Who was this Sylvia anyway? How could she deserve such an excellent man?

Not to mention that this man was the president's son.

A future presidential heir.

A man of such caliber was practically made for her, Lara.

Although her face showed some displeasure, she maintained her composure and raised the flower basket in her hand towards Franklin. "Regardless, I brought a gift. Won't you invite me in?" Franklin glanced at the flower basket. The flowers were blooming brightly and emitted a faint fragrance.

However, he had no interest whatsoever.
