Sydnee came face to face with her mother Janice when she went downstairs. Janice said with a gloomy expression on her face, "He said he has something to tell you. Your father and I have locked him out, but he doesn't want to leave."
Sydnee nodded, "I know. I'll go take a look."

"I know." Sydnee knew she wouldn't.

"You will meet a better man in the future."
"Don't rush into marriage. There are good men ahead, and you just have to wait."
She had gathered her courage and finally curled her lips into a smile.
