When the four of them left, Zoran hugged Susan from behind. "Susan, I think Darryl's a great guy," he 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 he suddenly change his mind?
Susan thought to herself and asked, "Does Rachel know? How does she 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
her to marry Darryl? Ewan is a great man a s well—Rachel marrying Ewan won't be an embarrassment.”
Susan loved both of her 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 she left the room.
Ewan smiled in surprise. "What idea?" He trembled as he spoke, excited at the
thought of Darryl vanishing for good!
Rachel smirked. "In the North-East corner o f 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 him into entering the forest. We won't see him for the rest of our lives!”
