"Then, what do you think? Are you against marriage?" "I have no thoughts, maybe I might seriously think about it after I retire." "Oh. So you're not against marriage.

"Layla, I have to go." Eric hung up the call and said to Layla, "I'll ask your mother out as well once I'm free. We can have a meal together." "Okay then! Go! Put on your mask and stay safe!" Layla placed her utensils down. She wanted to send him off.

Is this friend you? Other than me, who else would you be so worried about?] [...] [Layla, forty is too old. You're so young and pretty. I won't accept a boyfriend older than thirty-five. believe that your parents won't be able to accept him either. You should just give up!] [Although he is forty, he maintains his figure very well. He doesn't look forty at all!] [No matter how fit he keeps himself he is still forty! Sof his bodily functions are not as great as a younger man! Layla, wake up!] [Even you object to it. If I tell my parents, they will surely blow their tops!] [Your mother might not, but your father will surely blow his top. Hehe! TellWhich old man do you like? I have never heard you mention him before. Why so sudden?] S [It's not sudden. I liked him since I was young. I was just too busy in college, so I barely met up with him, which is why I didn't tell you about him.] [Oh? Who is this person that has made our Princess Layla fall so head over heels in love with him? Is he handsome? What does he look like? Do you have his photo? Send it to me! he isn't handsome, I will surely object to it!]
