Sofia always didn't believe it, sneered at me, thinking that I was painting castles in the air for her and her daughter.
So every once in a while, I had to bring up this matter.
Before I could speak, Patricia's father Bob grabbed the phone and said to me, "Harold, as a man, you have to be honest and practical, money is the most important."
"A dowry of 40,000 dollars, my Patricia is not young anymore."
"Yes, Harold..." Sofia interrupted.
I interrupted their words and said, "The dowry is not 40,000 dollars."
Her parents were stunned for a few seconds, and Sofia spoke, "Didn't you promise 40,000 dollars before?"
"I have changed my mind. Patricia has been so good to me, and you two have raised such an outstanding daughter. I think a dowry of 100,000 dollars is appropriate."
"100,000 dollars?"
"Is it true or not, Harold, you didn't deceive us, did you?" said Bob.
I solemnly swear that it's absolutely true.
Who doesn't know how to make empty promises?
Patricia's parents said with great joy: "Harold, I knew you could do it! I trust you with Patricia!"
Laugh!
Let's see if you can still laugh later!
I stayed at her workplace until she finished work in the evening.
