Chapter 478

Meanwhile, at the children’s bedroom in the Winston Mansion…

Hayes clutched his cellphone with a glint of hope in his eyes. After what felt like an eternity, there was still no reply from Yuna. A sigh escaped his lips, and a wave of mild disappointment washed over him.

But he tried forgetting it and cheering himself up. Ever since moving into the Winston Mansion and having Teresa’s company, his mom’s neglect didn’t seem to sting as much.

Back when his mom ignored him, he’d brood over it for ages. But now, he could bounce back in no time! If he could, he really wished he could live with Teresa forever!

As Hayes harbored this thought, Teresa’s voice, laced with surprise and urgency, reached his ears, “Little mute! You gotta see this! Come here, quick!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Hayes spun around and dashed to Teresa’s side.

Teresa sat upright in front of her easel, and clipped onto it was a portrait taller than she was.

Hayes stood opposite Teresa, the easel blocking his view, so he had no idea what was drawn on it.

After Hayes joined her, Teresa didn’t look at him right away; instead, she was staring gobsmacked at the easel, “Little mute, I’ve got to tell you something super spooky!”

Hayes, full of curiosity, tilted his head and looked at her with all seriousness, “What’s up?”

Teresa, genuinely shaken, swallowed hard before she finally met Hayes’ gaze, “… My godfather’s sister… she looks just like my mom!”

Hayes was surprised. He quickly moved to the front of the easel and looked up at the woman on the paper, stunned. How could she look so similar?

With a sense of disbelief, Teresa pressed her rosy-cheeked face close to the drawing, scrutinizing it from the left and right, her fingers intertwined and her brow furrowed, “Could I have drawn it wrong?

That’s impossible! I broke down the features from the photo and even used a mannequin, drawing according to the natural growth of muscles and bone structure!”

After a moment of thought, Hayes placed his hand on Teresa’s shoulder, his young face taking on an uncharacteristically serious and solemn expression, “It could be… my mom…”

Teresa stiffened, turning to look Hayes in the eyes.

That’s right! Her mom and Hayes’ mom were look-alikes!

But who was really her godfather’s sister?

“Could it be that both your mom and my mom are the his sisters?”

Hayes shook his head, his mouth opening as he struggled to articulate a difficult truth, “He… only had one sister. His mother.. didn’t have twins!”

Hearing this from Hayes, Teresa was utterly flabbergasted!

What was going on? Their moms were twins! So either Teresa had drawn it wrong, or both were her godfather’s sisters. There was no reason for it to be just one of them!

The two kids were stumped.

Forget it! Might as well send the photo to him; after all, they were just kids. How could they possibly unravel such a complex mystery?

With that thought, Teresa took out her phone, snapped a photo of the portrait, and sent it straight to Robert.
