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 glass 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? Nonetheless, she realized that it might be awkward to have a conversation without ordering anything, so she went with it.

After taking a sip of her tea, Lucy asked, "So, what exactly do you want to talk toabout?" Theodore took a deep breath. Despite all that went through his mind on the way here, he was still unsure how to explain things to the lady 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 similar," 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 similar, 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 withand listen." Lucy was intrigued by his demeanor. She set down her cup of black tea and listened attentively.
"I'm from a large 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 a complex expression. Was he even listening to himself? Did he think he was 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 similar, there was still scredibility in his lies.

Even so, Lucy was not a two-year-old child. How could she believe him? Appearances could easily. be om 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 melotic plots don't exist in real life hope that the O next tyou cup 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 believeor not. I'm telling the truth I truth. The reason I hereth asked you here is to collect sof ΕΠ: your DNA. I'd like to do a DNA test." X
