    Upon entering the café, Theodore summoned the waiter.


    The waiter handed menus to both of them and respectfully asked, "May I take your order, sir?"


    Theodore casually browsed through the menu and said to the waiter, "I''ll have a ss of iced Coke and one tiramisu."


    Then, the waiter turned to Lucy and asked, “And what would you like to have, Miss?"


    Lucy felt a little bewildered by the situation. She thought they were here to discuss something. Why were they eating and drinking all of a sudden? Nheless, she realized that it might be awkward to have a conversation without ordering anything, so she went with it.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She flipped through the menu and said to Theodore, "I''ll just have a cup of ck tea."


    Theodore nodded and told the waiter, "One cup of ck tea, please."


    Their order was rtively simple, so the waiter quickly served them.


    After taking a sip of her tea, Lucy asked, "So, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"


    Theodore took a deep breath. Despite all that went through his mind on the way here, he was still unsure how to exin things to thedy sitting before him. Hence, he decided to cut straight to the point.


    "I''m not sure if you''ve noticed, but both of us look incredibly simr," Theodore stated with a serious expression.


    Puzzled, Lucy nodded. "I noticed that the first moment we met, but how does that have to do with this? We just look simr, that''s all." Theodore''s expression grew even more stern. "I know this may sound ridiculous, but I have to tell you, so please bear with me and listen." Lucy was intrigued by his demeanor. She set down her cup of ck tea and listened attentively.


    "I''m from arge family with many branches, but there are only three direct descendants in our bloodline-me, my brother, and a sister that I''ve never met.


    "The reason I''ve never met my sister is because she was abducted at birth. We only discovered this fact recently. When I saw how much you look like me..."


    Lucy''s lips twitched as she looked at Theodore with aplex


    himself? Did he think he was


    expression, Was he even ned


    narrating a fairytale or something? Even if he was trying to deceive her, there were less cliche ways to do it!


    However, given the fact that they looked so simr, there was still some credibility in his lies.


    Even so, Lucy was not a


    two-year-old child. How could she believe him? Appearances could easily be changed. So what if she looked exactly like him? It could just be a coincidence.


    "Sir, what you''re saying sounds like a fairytale. Such melodramatic plots don''t exist in real life. I hope that the next time youe up with a story, you''ll at least make it a bit more believable."


    Theodore got anxious when he saw Lucy''s disbelief. He stood up and stared straight into Lucy''s eyes.


    “It doesn''t matter if you believe me or not. I''m telling the truth. The reason I asked you here is to collect some of your DNA. I''d like to do a DNA test."
