Two Choices

The husband was a bit worried and anxious.

Then, the wife asked, "Perhaps, Yolanda had found out something? That's why she ordered someone to come to ask us the truth."

However, the husband immediately refuted, "Nope. It's impossible. Yolanda had called us this morning, mentioning that she would bring souvenirs for us. So, I'm sure that she doesn't know anything."

Hearing her husband's explanation, the wife panicked even more. "Then, what's going on? All of a sudden, someone is investigating this matter. We are both very old now. We won't be able to keep our reputation anymore if someone discovers the truth."

The husband tried to console her and replied, "Don't worry about it. They might just be asking without any intention. So, there is nothing for us to feel anxious about. Everything will be fine."
