Just when he wanted to retrieve his hand, Mr Adams stood up and grabbed his outstretched hand.
"I can see you have a close relationship with my princess...,"
"He is the one I have chosen to spend my life with so that is a given," Gabrielle said with pride.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Sir. I have heard a lot about you from Brielle," Charlie smiled at the man even if his expression was stern.
"Brielle?" Mr and Mrs Adams chorused.
Gabrielle chuckled when she saw her parents confused expressions.
"As in Brielle from Gabrielle. That is his pet name for me," Gabrielle beamed. She held his hand and tuck him closer.
"You are a lady and not just a mere lady you see everywhere but one from a prominent family. A lady with a class so can you act a bit reserved?" Mrs Adams muttered.
Her words might have seemed like a suggestion but Gabrielle knew it was an order.
