Chapter 643 Do You Think I'm Suitable?
Eleanor looked at Dulce and liked her. Dulce often visited Maggie, and Eleanor thought Dulce was a good person—kind, enthusiastic, and smart, running her beauty salon successfully.
In contrast, Holden, apart from his good background, really couldn't compare to Dulce in any way.
Eleanor smiled and said, "Dulce, how about I introduce Holden to you? He's quite the catch, and you can train him however you like."
Holden looked at Eleanor with a resentful expression, "Mom, how much do you dislike me to put me on sale like this?"
Eleanor patted Holden on the shoulder and glared at him, "With your qualities, Dulce might not even be interested. If you could find me such a good daughter-in-law, I'd be over the moon."
Dulce didn't dare to say anything and could only smile.
Maggie also didn't know what to say. She knew Dulce was close to Francis, but she wasn't sure if they were together, so Dulce had to speak for herself.
Eleanor smiled and asked Dulce, "What do you think of my son? Do you like him?"
"Eleanor, you're making me embarrassed. I'm not as good as you say, and besides, Holden seems to have a girlfriend. I saw him with a girl at the CyberU gate yesterday."
Dulce wasn't lying. She had gone to Cyber University to deliver something to her brother and saw Holden walking with a girl.
Eleanor immediately looked at Holden, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Holden scratched his head awkwardly, "It's not confirmed yet, Mom. Don't worry about my business. I'll find you a daughter-in-law eventually, so stop saying random things."
Eleanor felt it was a pity to lose such a good daughter-in-law like Dulce.
Eleanor could only blame her son for not being ambitious. She pinched Holden secretly and said, "Useless."
Holden felt wronged but didn't dare to cry out in pain.
Dulce's phone rang. She pointed to her phone and said to Maggie, "I have to go."
The call was from Francis. It seemed like there was a real possibility between them, so Maggie didn't keep Dulce.
Francis invited Dulce to dinner and even booked a restaurant, personally coming to Sunset Hills to pick her up.
Floral Bistro.
Dulce sat down, looked around the restaurant, and curiously asked Francis, "Why did you invite me to such a fancy place for dinner? Do you have another big case that needs my help?"
Francis asked back, "Do you think I'm that stingy?"
"Well, this is the first time you've treated me to a fancy meal." Dulce picked up the menu, "Can I order whatever I want?"
"Yes." Francis said gentlemanly, "I'm paying today. Order whatever you like."
Dulce said she wouldn't be polite, but she didn't order anything too expensive. She knew Francis's salary wasn't high, and if they really splurged, one bottle of wine could cost him a month's salary.
Seeing Dulce order the cheapest dishes, Francis took the menu and said, "Let me order. It's rare for me to treat you to a fancy meal, so it can't be too cheap."
Francis ordered the most expensive steaks in the restaurant and a bottle of red wine, which cost several thousand dollars.
After ordering, he handed the menu to the waiter. When the waiter left, Dulce lowered her voice and asked, "Francis, you ordered such expensive things."
"I got a promotion and wanted to celebrate with you." Francis had one hand in his pocket. He had bought a gift for Dulce but was hesitant and embarrassed to take it out.
Dulce laughed, "I see. Francis, I wish you continued success."
Francis's left hand clutched the gift box. Just as he was about to speak, Dulce said, "Luckily, you called in time. Today, Maggie's mother-in-law was trying to set me up with Holden."
Francis's heart skipped a beat, "What did you say?"
"I refused, of course. Holden has a girlfriend. I saw it myself. He must be too embarrassed to tell his family." Dulce shrugged, "Women over twenty-five face the most dates, introductions, and family pressure. It seems I really need to find a boyfriend to stop them from pushing me."
Dulce was just casually saying this, but the next thing Francis said shocked her.
"Do you think I'm suitable?" Francis sat up straight, took out the gift, and opened it. Inside was a ring. "Dulce, would you be my girlfriend?"
