EuropeNovelChapter 1133: "I once held you when you were a kid." "What?" "When you were about the age in this picture.” "What are you talking about?” "That boy in the photo with you? That's seven-year-old me." Freya froze, then snatched the photo from his hands. In the picture, a two-year-old version of herself stood beside a little boy she didn't recognize.
She had no memory of being two. If not for this photo, she wouldn't even know this moment had ever happened. "This IS you?" she asked, pointing at the soft-featured, slightly bashful boy in the picture.
Ellis pressed his lips together. "Yeah." "How..." Freya suddenly found herself speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe couldn't remember being that young, but Anita, her mother, had once told her the story behind that photo.
Back then, her mother and her aunt had taken a trip to the countryside. While her aunt pitched the tent, Anita kept her company.
Then, another couple had shown up with their son. Anita had described the boy as seven or eight, acting way older than his years. Apparently, Freya had grabbed his finger and refused to let go.
And now, it turned out that the boy had been Ellis? "I have two photos from that day too," Ellis said, calm and certain, as he opened his own album and pulled out two pictures. "Take a look." Freya took them from his hand. One was identical to hers.
The other showed her aunt, her mom, Ellis's parents—and Ellis himself—all smiling together.
Ellis's eyes shimmered with quiet amusement.
No wonder he found her mom so familiar when he reviewed Freya's file at the base. They'd met once, a lifetago.

Back then, his parents had worried that he might grow up too introverted from spending so much tindoors, so they'd made it a point to take him out more often. That grassy countryside resort had been a popular spot for families with kids.
As soon as Ellis and his parents arrived, they set up a tent right beside Freya's. The two families quickly fell into an easy conversation, and Freya instantly took a liking to him.
While the adults chatted away, Ellis kept her company, playing with her as if there were no cares in the world.
Freya giggled, her focus and delight as pure as that of a child basking in sunlight. "Did you fall for my face back then?" Ellis asked lazily, catching her still staring at the photo.
Freya was caught off guard. How could a toddler possibly care about someone's looks? She'd probably just been drawn to whoever seemed the friendliest. Share to your friends facebook sharing button twitter sharing button reddit sharing button whatsharing button telegram sharing button
