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.

Seeing Dana's anxious expression, Elara said, "If you don't want to go back with them, then don't. Wait here until your mom gets back."

Even so, Dana pressed her lips together, her eyes filled with worry.
