"Kerry." Skylar White stopped the girl and looked at her mother. "And who might this be?"
Kerry took a deep breath, relieved that someone was breaking the awkward silence.
Latona extended her hand:
"Latona, I'm Kerry's mother."
With a pleasantly surprised expression, Skylar shook Latona's hand enthusiastically and said:
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Latona. I am an admirer of your daughter."
Latona had never seen someone introduce themselves like this, and hesitated for a moment.
Skylar White quickly continued with a natural expression:
"I wholeheartedly admire your daughter, and though she is unwilling to develop a personal relationship with me, I will never give up... "
Latona retorted:
"Isn't that just a stalker?"
Skylar chuckled awkwardly:
"No, I'm not... "
Latona:
"I won't interfere with young people's affairs, but please step aside now. I need to catch up with my daughter."
Although he felt a bit embarrassed, Skylar still politely smiled and stepped aside.
