Asher said, "You're introducing Dana to an old man? She complained all the way to the Hawthorne family's home!"

Hearing this, Daphne frowned. "How could that be? Where did introduce her to an old man? Mrs. Smith's brother isn't old at all. He just returned from studying abroad! How could he be id?" She added, "Dana is being dramatic! And why did she complain to Elara? Does she see Elara as her real family?

Asher didn't want to argue with Daphne about this.

The two left together.

Elara noticed Dana's fear and reassured her gently, "Don't worry We're all here. They're just coming over to talk. It's nothing serious. Let them in." Ursa nodded. "Alright."

quickly replied, "I'm not making you marry an old man, Dana, I introduced someone to you out of kindness, and you overreacted. You haven't even met him, yet you're calling him an old man?" Dana retorted, "Mrs. Smith is so old herself. What kind of decent man could her
