Boss, Your Wife’s Asking for A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463 The Mysterious Photo Album

Upon seeing her enter, Charles felt that if he did not go in, he was not manly enough. After taking a deep breath, he shivered and followed Sonia into the old manor. As the old manor had not been inhabited for a long time, it was completely covered with cobwebs and dust while looking exactly like a haunted mansion in movies. Thus, it was no wonder that he had wondered about ghosts.

It was after Sonia wiped a handful of dust off the table that she thought of something.

“Baby.” His voice sounded behind her.

She patted the dust off her hands, then asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Where are your grandfather’s notes?” He was holding a broom that he found from somewhere and waved it while asking.

While pointing in the direction of the study, she answered, “It’s over there, but it’s way too dirty here. Let’s clean this place up first before searching for the notes later.”

“Yeah, we should do some cleaning; otherwise, there’s no way to stay here tonight.” Charles nodded in agreement.

Thus, Sonia opened her suitcase and took out from it a few towels that she brought. “Let’s get started then.”

“Okay, you wipe the tables and chairs while I’ll remove the cobwebs and sweep the floor,” he said as he stopped waving the broom.

“Sounds like a plan,” she concurred. “I’ll go to the well to get some water.”

Upon saying that, she took the towel and went to the backyard where there was an old well full of water all year round.

Soon, the two began to work for hours on end; it wasn’t until 4:00PM that they were done with cleaning the large place. They were now bone-tired and lay on the respective benches to rest.

Charles gasped, “Baby, t-this is the first time I’ve done so much cleaning in my life. I’m exhausted.”

“Sorry Charles. You did well, so I will make some delicious treats for you later.” Sonia was also drained and couldn’t stop panting.

He nodded as his eyes brightened. “Okay. I want to eat fish, though. Is there any fish here?”

“Yes.” She sat up straight and rubbed her sore back. “There is a village nearby, and there’s also fish at the village head’s house. A few years ago, I even went to buy some from there, so I’ll just head there later to buy it.”

“That would be great.” He happily clapped his hands.

Then, Sonia stood up. “Charles, why don’t you make the bed first? I’ll head to Grandpa’s study to look for the notes.”

“Sure.” Charles looked at the room she pointed at. It seemed that tonight, he would stay in that room. “So, baby, which room will you sleep in?”

At the bottom right corner of the photo was a date written on it. When she saw the date, she smiled. “This is me!”

The date on it was exactly her birthdate, so there was no need to guess who this baby was—it was Sonia.

“So, when I was first born, I was ugly and tiny. Gosh, I didn’t even look healthy.” Sonia stroked the baby’s face on the photo with her thumb and laughed lightly. Then, she flipped to the next photo where there was still a baby in it. The date written at the bottom right corner of the photo indicated that it was the day after she was born.

Could this be a photo album of my birth? With this in mind, she turned to the third page and lo and behold, it was still her as a baby with the date of the third day after her birth in the lower right corner.

This time, Sonia was completely sure that it was the photo album of her birth whereby every picture on it was recorded on a daily basis after she was born. This kind of album was not uncommon in the past as almost every family would have one for each of their children. Some had pictures detailing the baby’s life until the 1st week after its birth whereas others were up to 6 months old. There were a few who stored pictures up until the baby was 3 months old.

Judging by the thickness of the album, this album should be a record of at least 6 months long.

The only thing Sonia couldn’t decipher was her grandfather’s hesitation to allow her to look at it if it was her photo album. She narrowed her eyes, her heart full of confusion and incomprehension. However, she didn’t think much of it and assumed that he merely wanted to keep it as a souvenir, which was why he didn’t want to show it to her. Now that the album was in her hands, she could look at it herself just to reminisce about her childhood.

Yet, strangely enough, there had been an abundance of pictures of her as a child, but never of her when she was a newborn, so she didn’t really know what she looked like as a baby. She pulled the chair and sat down before she began to page through the photos at the back. At first, she looked at it as the corner of her mouth curved into a smile, thinking that she was really cute as a newborn. However, for some reason, she didn’t feel any familiarity with the baby in the photos.

As she continued to flip the pages, the smile on her face slowly disappeared before it was replaced by shock.
