Chapter 468
“Alright, I’ll come over now,” Zachary said before hanging up. He turned to Serenity and informed her, “They’re waiting for us at the same spot as yesterday.”
Serenity quickly finished her coffee in three gulps. After exchanging a few words with Mrs. Lane, the couple left Liberty’s house.
On their way, Serenity received a call from Elisa Stone. “Serenity, you received the photos I sent you, right? Do they look familiar to you?”
Elisa recalled Serenity mentioning that someone from her hometown had adopted a girl. She hoped Serenity could provide leads to help her find her aunt, who was returning from their seaside villa today. Elisa was eager for good news that might lift her spirits.
Serenity paused before responding, “Elisa, I do think your aunt looks familiar. If Sonny wore pigtails and a dress, he might resemble her a bit. I guess all kids look somewhat similar at that age.”
Concerned that Elisa might misinterpret her words as an attempt to establish a connection where none existed, Serenity quickly clarified, “Elisa, I don’t mean anything more by it. I just noticed some similarities between Sonny and your aunt when I looked closely. In a few days, when I have some free time, I’ll try to sketch what your aunt might look like as an adult based on her childhood photo.”
If Sonny indeed resembled Elisa’s aunt, it implied that her mother was Elisa’s aunt. However, her mother had passed away fifteen years ago.
Elisa fell silent, and Serenity felt a wave of unease. Worried that Elisa might misunderstand her intentions, she reiterated, “Elisa, please give me a few days. I’ll help illustrate what your aunt might look like as an adult. I’m just—”
“I’m not available at the moment. I mentioned that Sonny resembled your aunt, but perhaps all kids look similar at that age, so don’t dwell on it.”
Mrs. Stone had been searching for her sister for many years, and there were individuals who had attempted to impersonate her sister to establish connections with the Stones.
Serenity wanted to ensure that Elisa did not misinterpret her intentions.
