"I hope that despite this issue, we can still be friends." Louis finally stated his main agenda.
Shera chortled lightly and finally brought her tea cup to her lips and took a small sip. "Mayor Fort, how come I didn't know we were friends?"
The man looked hurt like he had suffered a huge grievance as he clutched his chest exaggeratively. "Don't be so cold towards me. Who knows, you might just end up as my daughter in the next life."
Shera chuckled. "You are too funny, Mayor Fort. You even believe in reincarnation?"
The man's eyes lit up. "I just thought of a brilliant idea. I know you probably don't want to be my friend because you think our age gap is too wide. So, how about you become my daughter instead? I will officially adopt you and make you a member of the Fort family."
