Chapter 602
Robert certainly hadn’t expected the Abletts to do it so perfectly. Even the Goldies, who
lived right next door, had been tricked for so long!
Robert couldn’t dig up any dirt, so he had no choice but to drop it.
Miley took Robert to her boudoir, noticing his sour mood, she did her best to cheer him up.
Not only that, but she also pulled out a stack of photo albums to distract him.
“Everyone says looking at childhood pictures of your sweetheart is a joyous thing. Even
though I was a pretty awkward kid, I don’t mind showing them to you! Today, I’ll let you
see for yourself the magic of growing up!” she said with a playful wink, eager to turn the
pages and share the memories with her boyfriend.
And it worked like a charm. As Robert looked at those photos of a younger Miley, cheeks
puffed and adorable as a little doughball, his heart softened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe pointed at a picture and asked, “How old were you here?”
Miley thought for a moment, “Maybe three or four? I can’t quite remember. It was when !
first started preschool!
That was before my family hit the jackpot. I went to the same preschool as Marguerite, but
I was a year younger, so we weren’t in the same class.”
At this, Robert genuinely chuckled, and the atmosphere softened.
Miley breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Robert had finally cracked a smile, and eagerly
flipped to the next page. But before she could explain the next set of photos, Robert’s
gaze zeroed in on one, his brow furrowing in seriousness, “This elderly lady in the photo…
Is that Laverne? And who’s the child in her arms?”
Miley looked closely and saw that Robert was pointing at a picture with an old woman
holding a baby, wrapped in a butter-yellow blanket, on the steps of a church, both basking
in sunlight with the old woman smiling radiantly.
“Yes, that’s Marguerite’s grandma, she was much younger then, almost unrecognizable,
huh? The baby she’s holding is definitely Marguerite!
I remember my mom telling me this was taken when Marguerite’s grandma went to the
church to get a sapphire necklace blessed for Marguerite.
My parents were there too, praying for their own blessings, and they happened to bump
into them. Knowing my parents had a camera, she asked for a photo. They printed two
copies, gave one to Grandma, and kept one. Why? Is there something special about this
photo?”

“You’re sure the baby is Marguerite?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMiley, confused, replied, “Of course, I’m sure!”
A sense of heaviness settled in Robert’s heart, yet his eyes sparkled with intensity.
Every secret has a crack, and it seemed the answer was about to surface! He vividly
remembered the anticipation surrounding his sister’s birth, especially from his mother!
Robert recalled his mother stressing the importance of a newborn’s clothing and
environment.
His sister’s clothes and even her bed linens were not store-bought but custom-made.
And the blanket that wrapped his sister when she was born was specially crafted; his
mother had even collaborated with the seamstress to knit it!
With this in mind, he pointed back at the photo and asked urgently, “Has this blanket been
with Marguerite since she was born?”
