Chapter 293
Sophia quickly explained, “You can take it if the other person gives you permission. Your father would definitely allow me to take it.”
There were so many plaything for her to take. Not only did she find Michael’s photo sticker when he was young, she also found an old poster and a disc during his time in a band. There were many things here that she couldn’t find on the internet.
She could actually take whatever she wanted, including a box of underwear that Michael had worn before!
At the end, she discovered a huge photo album, which included all of Michael’s photos from when he was a baby to the time he left the Fletcher residence.
She started flipping the album page-by-page carefully, as if she had just discovered some treasure.
The first page was filled with pictures of Michael when he was a baby, but in the pictures, there was always a pair of babies that looked similar to each other. The only difference was that one of them had a penis and the other didn’t.
The boy must be Michael, and the girl must be his older sister, Celine.
She sighed as she flipped the album. “Nate, look at how handsome your dad is. If only you can be as handsome as him when you’re grown.”
She even took photos of the pictures with her phone so that she could look at it for fun after going back home.
The pictures were arranged in chronological order. Therefore, she got to see the twins grow up slowly. Their identical faces were filled with happiness and innocence everyday as they lived a carefree life.
As time passed, the siblings grew older and older.
Suddenly, Celine had a dashing man beside her, and Michael had a pretty girl beside him too.
At this point, Sophia started looking at the photos selectively, and she stopped taking pictures with her phone because it was all photos of her husband holding hands with his ex-girlfriend.
This is burning my eyes.
At the end, there were fewer and fewer pictures.
Finally, the pictures stopped on the day of the twin’s 18th birthday. There were many people in the group photo, including the twins, Justin, Irene, Joel, Stanley, Caleb, and many more…
There were no more photos after that.
Sophia flipped through the entire album again, but after the group photo they took on their 18th birthday, there was no more.
“Nate, why isn’t there any more? Where are the other photos?”
Where are the photos of him in a seductive military uniform that I’m looking forward to the most?
Nathan explained to her, “He joined the army when he was 18 years old. When he moved out, he took all the important photos away.”
He moved out? He took away all the important photos? Does that mean these photos were deemed unnecessary by him? This means that there is a sequel to this album. I want to see it so badly! I’ll be sure to look around for it when I go back home.
They spent the whole weekend in the military compound. The life of a retired veteran was boring and monotonous. After waking up at 6.00AM, Old Master Fletcher went out to practice his Tai Chi before coming back home to have breakfast; after breakfast, he went outside to have fun with his dogs, birds and grandson; after lunch, Old Master Fletcher would turn on television to watch the news for a while; after dinner, he would go out to play chess with a bunch of old men and practice his Tai Chi again before going back home to sleep.
On Saturday, Sophia brought Nathan out to practice Tai Chi with Old Master Fletcher before dawn. She carried a bottle of wolfberry water with her as she enjoyed the life of early retirement.
Stanley also came early and followed them while walking his dog.
Sophia followed Old Master Fletcher and practiced Tai Chi with a bunch of other old men. After they were done, he pointed at a sandpit and said, “Mike used to play with sand there.”
A sandpit that my idol played in!
She quickly jumped into the sandpit and asked Nathan to take a photo of her with the sandpit.
Then, they arrived under a big tree while Old Master Fletcher pointed at it. “Mike used to climb this tree.”
Sophia quickly took a photo with the tree also.
He pointed again at a small pond. “Mike used to touch fishes here.”
Therefore, she quickly took a photo there too.
After walking around, Old Master Fletcher abandoned Sophia. “Sophie, I’ll bring Nate to look around at another place! Stan, she finally got the chance to come here, so why don’t you accompany her around? She can have lunch at your place, but remember to come play chess with me in the evening.”
Sophia was rendered speechless.
After that, Old Master Fletcher left with Nathan contentedly while Stanley said to Sophia with a happy face, “Let’s go, Sophie. I’ll bring you around to have a look.”
Therefore, she reluctantly followed him. At first, she thought that he would actually bring her around so that she could at least take a good look at the place her idol grew up in, but unexpectedly, Stanley’s definition of walking around meant bringing her home to play games!
After they were done with their game, she had lunch in Stanley’s house. As soon as they finished their lunch, she went to find Nathan.
In the evening, Old Master Fletcher finally didn’t leave her with Stanley. Instead, he took out a huge photo album and told his old story about the revolution to her. He talked about long expeditions, armies joining forces, and the founding ceremony of the country.
After he was done with his old stories about the revolution, he talked about the Fletchers.
The album in his hand had pictures of everyone in the Fletcher Family, including himself. Even though he was almost a hundred years old and was wearing reading glasses, he was still able to identify everyone in the picture with just a glance.
“This is Stan’s older brother, Caleb. He is my tenth great-grandson, and he has achieved a second-class merit. He has been a talented boy since a young age. In their generation, he is one of the top five!” He turned over another picture that had a fat baby inside. “This is Cody. I gave him his name. He is my 18th great-grandson. This year, he is 3 years old, so he is still younger than Nate.”
Sophia also looked at the pictures attentively. The Fletcher Family really is a big family! Old Master Fletcher really knows his grandchildren very well. I can even feel the indescribable pride in his words.
Finally, he reached Michael’s page. As he looked at Michael’s photos, he said, “This is Mike, my youngest grandson. He really is a brilliant boy!” When he mentioned him, he couldn’t help but look more
lively. “Mike looks like me the most! Every part of him is exactly like me! But his personality is too strong. Back then, he suddenly wanted to quit the army, and I didn’t allow it.
After that, he violated numerous military discipline by beating up people and drinking alcohol. At the end, I could only discharge him. After he was discharged, he continued with his study and work. With a little inheritance he got from his parents, he was able to expand it a hundred times more in just ten years. With such a mind, it would have been great if he hadn’t left the army!”
The old man sighed as his eyes were filled with loneliness and regret that couldn’t be concealed.
Then, he turned over to another page. In this page, there was a picture of a married couple—Celine and Justin.
When Old Master Fletcher saw this page, he seemed to have aged significantly, but he still held his spirits high as he introduced them to Sophia, “They are Nate’s parents. Celine was Mike’s sister, and she was only ten minutes older than him. The two of them looked exactly the same. Look at him. Mike often wore women’s outfits in some scenes, and when he put them on, he’s a spitting image of his sister.
This is Justin, Celine’s husband and Nate’s father. I was the one who brought the two of them together. Back then, I asked Celine to go on a blind date, but she refused to, so she went there and beat Justin up. Tsk-tsk. Surprisingly, Justin was even more fierce than her, so both of them got together at the end. Haha…”
The moment he mentioned Justin, he raised his head to glance at Sophia. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Whenever he mentioned the blind date between Celine and Justin, he couldn’t help but remember that person.
Initially, that person should have gone on a blind date with Celine, but he also refused to, so Justin replaced him.
After living for a long time, he had probably developed a seventh sense at the age of a hundred. Through Sophia, Old Master Fletcher could always see the shadow of that person…
