The words seemed to be a concern for Rebecca White, but in reality, they were a subtle reminder to Francis of Rebecca's troubled past.
After speaking, Faustina and her daughter Selina exchanged a knowing glance.
In their minds, Mr. Johnson might not be aware of this situation.
If he knew, would he still be willing to associate with Rebecca White?
Such blatant attempts to sow discord, bringing up the unmentionable, instantly froze the atmosphere at the dinner table.
"Enough," Galloway frowned, clearly protective of his granddaughter.
He shot a displeased look at Faustina and her daughter, "Can't you keep your mouth shut while eating?"
Forcing a smile, he turned to Francis, "Mr. Johnson, try the fish... It's Rebecca's favorite. I hope you like it too?"
"Thank you, Grandpa," Francis acknowledged with a gentle smile, picking up on Faustina's earlier words. "Regarding the marriage..."
He glanced at Rebecca White, "I respect Rebecca's wishes. As long as she agrees, I'm ready whenever she is."
Galloway was taken aback and looked at Rebecca White.
Rebecca was equally surprised, sipping her soup, she choked and shot a glare at Francis.
"Take it easy. Why so careless?" Francis quickly offered her a napkin, continuing his conversation with Galloway.
"I'm quite a few years older than Rebecca. At my age, I should have settled down already. But this is not something to rush; it needs Rebecca's consent."
Galloway let out a dry laugh, still processing the surprise.
He nodded, "It's a major life decision, can't be taken lightly."
"Exactly," Francis agreed, furrowing his brow slightly.
"Rebecca's previous marriage left her with a bad experience. It's only natural for her to be cautious."
