Chapter 63

After half an hour, Titus reached home. The butler came up to greet him and he handed his coat over, asking, “Are Miss and Mrs. Gray home?”

“They’re in Miss Gray’s room, sir” the butler answered after draping the coat

over his arm.

After a hum of understanding, Titus

headed toward the staircase.

 

Meanwhile in the room upstairs, Julia

and Tina were sitting at the foot of the

 

bed flipping through a photo album

together. Pointing at a picture of herself, Tina asked, “Do you remember

this photo, Mom?”

Fondly stroking her daughter’s long hair, Julia replied, “Of course I do. You were six when we took this picture. You liked playing hide-and-seek that year and no matter how hard I looked, couldn’t find you. I was so scared that! lost you, but it turned out that you fell asleep hiding in the attic.”

“I remember. When I woke up, I came

down from the attic by myself to find you crying. You had even lodged a police report,” Tina recalled.

The smile on Julia’s face faded and

there was a touch of hatred in the

bottom of her eyes. How could she not

cry out of panic and file a police report

when she couldn’t find her child? At the time, she even thought Henry had kidnapped Tina. It was a good thing that it turned out to be a false scare in

the end.

Presently, Tina flipped a page. All of a sudden, a yellowed photograph fluttered out of the photo album and landed on the floor. She bent down to pick it up. There was an infant of a few months old in the photograph. The baby was smiling widely and looked

adorable, and a single glance would

endear anyone to it.

However, for some reason, Tina did not

like this baby at all. In fact, she disliked

and even hated this baby a

little. Nevertheless, she didn’t show it and only handed the photograph to her mother, asking with a smile, “Is this Rina?”

Stroking her fingers over the little girl in the photograph, Julia nodded with her eyes wet. “Yes. This is your sister,

Rina.”

When Tina saw how much Julia

missed the infant in the photograph, she couldn’t help feeling jealous. And so, she put the photograph back and

tucked it into the photo album. Following that, she looped her arm

around her mother’s and leaned her
