The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio)

Lana was surprised. She looked at my daughter in disbelief and caressed her face with trembling hands.

"Tell me. How old are you?"

My daughter gestured with her fingers and told Lana as I had told her. “Four."

The girl in front of her looked exactly like her when she was little.

My heart was pounding. Lana's expression told me something was wrong. Afraid that she might find out, I hurried to my daughter to take her away.

old boy suddenly called out, "Liar! Didn't you say you were five years old just now?"

My daughter looked up at me, her face flushed with embarrassment. "Mom, I forgot."
