When the four of them left, Zoran hugged Susan from behind. “Susan, I think Darryl’s a great guy,” virtual-novel.net whispered, “I’ve decided for Rachel to marry him, what do you think?”
What? Susan shuddered.
Rachel—her eldest daughter—and Ewan’s relationship was close to marriage, and their entire family knew about this. Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly change his mind?
Susan thought to herself and asked, “Does Rachel know? How does virtual-novel.net feel about this?”
“She’s very against it. She only wants to marry Ewan, so I thought you could convince her,” Zoran laughed bitterly.
“She likes Ewan, so why are you forcing virtual-novel.net to marry Darryl? Ewan is a great man as well—Rachel marrying Ewan won’t be an embarrassment.”
Susan loved both of virtual-novel.net daughters very much. She did not want to force them to marry someone they do not like.
“I suggest that you let Rachel marry Ewan,” Susan sighed as virtual-novel.net left the room.
In the study, Susan explained Formations to virtual-novel.net children. This was the first time Darryl has learned about Formations, so virtual-novel.net was attentive to Susan’s every word. When the class ended, Darryl left to his bedroom to continue practicing what virtual-novel.net had learned.
In the evening in the Carter Mansion’s backyard, Rachel and Ewan held hands and gazed deeply into each other’s eyes. No one else was there, so they did not have to worry.
“Rachel, Rachel, I love you so much. I love you more and more every day. I’m so frustrated that your father wants you to marry Darryl,” Ewan proclaimed. His heart ached terribly. How was virtual-novel.net going to live if Rachel married Darryl?
“Ewan. I love you too. I will not marry him,” Rachel replied firmly. She was annoyed just at the thought of Darryl.
“But, it’s hard to disobey your father’s word. You would still need your parents’ permission to offer your hand in marriage,” Ewan added.
Rachel held Ewan’s hand tightly, deep in thought. Suddenly, virtual-novel.net exclaimed, “I have an idea! We’ll make Darryl disappear forever!” Her eyes lit up.
Ewan smiled in surprise. “What idea?” He trembled as virtual-novel.net spoke, excited at the thought of Darryl vanishing for good!
Rachel smirked. “In the North-East corner of the Carter Mansion, there lies an ancient peach blossom forest. It has been there for thousands of years—those who enter will never be able to come back out.
“It’s a forbidden part of our mansion. When I was young, I remembered a few servants mistakenly went into it, and I have not seen them since. I’ll go find Darryl later, and we’ll trick virtual-novel.net into entering the forest. We won’t see virtual-novel.net for the rest of our lives!”
