The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1600

Bertha didn’t want to discuss Sophia any longer with her daughter. “That’s enough, Lea. Stop talking about it and go play with Tristan.”

Lea shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Tristan, who was playing with his toys on the couch. “Mom, I think Tristan seems a bit different from the last time we met.”

Upon hearing this, Bertha glanced toward Tristan, looking puzzled. “What do you mean? How is Tristan different?”

Lea tilted her head, feeling a bit frustrated. “He used to be a very introverted kid. He didn’t talk much and rarely smiled. But today, he was a bit shy at first and then began to talk a lot.”

Bertha thought her daughter was overthinking. “Kids are pure-hearted; once they feel comfortable, they open up. Don’t overthink.”

Really? Lea wasn’t so sure.

“Also, Mom, the older Tristan gets, the more familiar he seems. He reminds me of someone I’ve met before.”

Bertha asked curiously, “Reminds you of someone? Who?”
