engrossed in something Curious, Agnes walked over to see what had captured their attention. To her
surprise, Beatrice had brought out an old photo album to share with Jared, who appeared genuinely
interested
As Agnes rarely took photos, most of the images in the album were from the time when her mom was
still alive, and she was just a young girl.
But there were a lot of Beatrice’s photos. She always loved to doll herself up.
Because Laura also loved photography, most of the photos in the album were of Beatrice.
There were only a few photos of Agnes.
Beatrice said excitedly. “Look, this is a photo of me when I was five years old. It’s so cute, right? When
I was five, my mom took me to shoot advertisements and I was even on the cover of magazines. This
is my middle school graduation photo. At that time, I was the prettiest girl in the whole school. And
this…” Beatrice continued talking, but when she finally looked up, she realized that Jared hadn’t been
paying any attention to her at all. Instead, he was fully absorbed in examining a picture he held in his
hands.
The photograph featured Agnes and her mom when Agnes was just five years old, the edges now
tinged with yellow from the passage of time.
The picture had casually slipped out from the album as they were flipping through its pages, capturing
Jared’s interest for an extended penod This discovery filled Beatrice with fury.
Had all her efforts to explain herself been in vain? It seemed like she could never manage to capture
this man’s attention. Even when they were looking at photos together, his focus was always on Agnes
Beatrice quickly flipped through the album.

Beatrice pulled out the photo and feigned surprise, “How is this photo still here? I thought Agnes threw
out all their photos after she broke up with Elton. I can’t believe there’s still one here.”
Sure enough, Jared’s curiosity was piqued by the name “Agnes He glanced at the photo in Beatrice’s
hand, and she pretended to be shocked as she spoke, “I really didn’t mean to. Agnes and Elton were
together for ten years, and their relationship was very deep. Agnes is a sentimental person, so it’s
understandable that she kept a photo of them. Please don’t be mad I think Agnes just wanted to hold
onto a memento, and there’s no other meaning behind it”
Jared’s gaze fixated on the photo, capturing the moment when the boy and girl in the picture leaned
their heads together, wearing radiant smiles filled with joy and vitality Agnes, at that time, had a sweet
smile resembling a blooming spring flower-bright and dazzling. The boy’s eyes were filled with love as
they rested on the girl’s face in the photograph.
