Although Hank Clegg spoke with utmost respect and didn't say anything inappropriate,
Mr. Wood's face darkened instantly. In the presence of Mr. Clegg, he just masked his anger and gave Mrs. Wood an annoyed look.
Spotting this, Mrs. Wood quickly grabbed her daughter's hand, smiled and said, "Hank, your Uncle Wood speaks bluntly, let me rephrase. Now that you and our Claire are together, why not just get engaged and settle down. I talked to your mother about this, and she agrees."
These words angered Mrs. Clegg.
Today, the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Wood along with Rosalind had initially been a joyful event.
But once they sat down, they informed Mrs. Clegg that Hank and Rosalind were dating, but it seemed Hank was reluctant to admit it.
The story was that the two had agreed to meet at a hotel, but as soon as the date was over, Hank left without expressing any commitments or concerns.
To put it bluntly, he was portrayed as a hit-and-run type.
