     ‘How old are you?’
Explanation:
 
She was trying to sink in what the man told her. She thought that maybe he wants to buy the house, but he didn't have enough money. The man didn't look wealthy now.

The man told her that he was not thinking of buying back the house and that he just wanted to see the house again. He asked her how long they had lived here.

She said that she lived there for only three years and gave a smile to the man.

She asked if he would like to come in and have a closer look at the house.

The man asked if her parents would allow.

She told him that they had gone to the club and that she was allowed to bring her friends home.

He was still not convinced and said if even elderly friends like him are allowed inside the house.
 
She immediately asked how old he was?
