could not make out the person’s face, but her pale legs swinging back and forth were eye-catching.He placed the basin before that woman and uttered slowly, dragging his words. “Hurry up and wash your feet. You should head to bed and rest early.”The woman on the bench giggled, which somehow exposed her age to be a young woman.

It turns out that Dad found a woman who has lost her way and not a girlfriend. I was right.
