Chapter 737 Fluent in Francette

Hayley's POV:

I couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, then replied in flawless, fluent Francette, "Hello, Scarlett. My godfather speaks of you often. You really are as charming and lively as a fairy."

Scarlett shot me a surprised glance, her expression hardening into disappointment. She muttered a stiff "Thanks" and jerked her hand away.

Johnny, on the other hand, burst out laughing and asked, "Hayley, when did you learn to speak Francette?"

"Godfather, have you forgotten? One of the Carsons' biggest farm clients is from France-you were the one who introduced this deal to us," I explained.

I didn't mention that I actually own a château in France and used to spend part of every year living there.
