Sylvie and Lucien were walking down a path in the neighborhood, when suddenly, Sylvie heard a woman voice nearby, she immediately brought him behind a big tree.

Lucien was confused, while Sylvie pressed him against the tree, and put her index finger on her lip to ask him to keep quiet.

Seemingly hiding from someone, Sylvie pressed herself on Lucien, hoping that the trunk could block both of them from sight.

Sylvie was too nervous to think of anything else, but Lucien, who was pinned under the soft body of the woman, felt a thirst raging in his throat.

The sound was coming closer, appearing to be the talking between two middle-aged women.

One of them said, "I think I just saw Mr. Steinfeld' s daughter."

The other said, "Where? How come I didn't see her? Are you sure?"

The first speaker then sniffed heavily, "I couldn't be surer. Even she became a handful of ashes I could still recognize her. That plain Jane thought my nephew wasn't good enough for her. That arrogant chick!"

In recent years, her parents began to focus on her love life, especially her mother, who couldn't wait for her to settle down with an eligible man, so she had begun to arrange blind dates for her.

Sylvie wanted to leave as soon as she saw that man. It's not that she judged people from their looks, but that she would never settle for a man who already started going bald in his twenties. But that woman had laid it really thick on him before her mother, saying how handsome and dashing her nephew was.
