Chapter 1886
The baby in the photo was tiny and wrinkled. And, she was wrapped tightly in a blanket. Her skin was red, but it was clear that
she was well-nourished in the womb. Even though she was just born, her face looked plump. Her eyes were closed, and she
was sleeping soundly.
"Is this me?" Stella was genuinely surprised. "I can't recognize myself at all."
"I can see it. Your mouth and brows resemble mine, and your eyes and hair resemble your mother's. Your nose is exactly the
same as your mom's, too," said Wenham.
Stella listened quietly to Wenham's description. She was particularly curious about how her father could tell they had similar
eyebrows when it was almost nonexistent in the pictures.
"I think her eyebrows look more like The Mystic Duo," someone interjected.
Everyone was taken aback.
Stella's face darkened when she recalled that The Mystic Duo from a popular TV show had no eyebrows.
Marshall and Trevor also caught on to the joke.
However, Wenham did not understand. "What do The Mystic Duo's eyebrows look like?" he asked.
Marshall suppressed his laughter and refrained from commenting.
Trevor snorted and teased his father. "Dad, those bushy brows of yours are one of a kind. It's a bit of a stretch to say that Stella's
are the same, don't you think?"
Keegan stayed silent during the discussion.
Wenham was not disturbed by Trevor's remarks. He continued to flip through the album and praised his daughter. Stella felt
embarrassed to say anything, but Marshall was very supportive.
"This is her at a hundred days old. Look at those big eyes. You can tell she's a smart baby."
Marshall added, "She looks like Aunt Freesia with her eyes closed. But, she looks more like you with her eyes open."
Wenham continued, "Rainee fed her well. Her face looked so round when she was a year old."
"It's good for a child to have a little baby fat. I was very skinny when I was a child. My grandfather always said I looked like I
survived a famine," Marshall commented.
Wenham could not contain his amusement when he came across another picture of Stella. Her face was full of mud, and she
was having a good time with her friends by the muddy water. She was three years old in that picture.
"Rainee spoiled her too much. Look at this. She looks like a little clay figure."
Stella glanced at the image and felt that her face was burning. She did not remember when that photo was taken, but she
appeared filthy.
Suddenly, she recalled a viral video of two mud-covered children standing with hunched shoulders and found it funny.
She looked up at Keegan, expecting some reaction, but he just glanced at the photo and remained silent.
Once Wenham was done flipping through the album, he set it aside and continued chatting with the young people.
After spending over half an hour on her makeup, Jaylene finally exited the bathroom and tried to get close to Keegan.
"Keep your distance. Don't make me repeat myself," Trevor said with a flat tone.
Jaylene was stunned to hear that. "Huh?"
Trevor's cold gaze pierced through Jaylene's heart. Why is it that even though we grew up together, he treats Stella better?' she
thought.
Stella was unaware of this situation and wondered why Jaylene was so well-behaved after touching up her makeup. But, at that
moment, she had no intention of dealing with it. She noticed that Keegan seemed drunk.
He discreetly pulled her and whispered, "Honey, I want to go home."
