When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0650

Then there was a photo from when Sebastian was ten.

“He’s so chubby!” Miranda blurted out.

In the picture, Sebastian had lost the cute baby look and now resembled a small, plump bear. He was not only chubby but also tanned. His eyes were barely visible, squished by his cheeks

It was summertime, so he was wearing a tank top and shorts, showing off his thick, rounded limbs.

After clearing her throat, Miranda tried to keep a straight face. “You shouldn’t look. It’s not nice to peek at someone’s private photos.”

“Aren’t you looking too?” Sam countered.

“I wasn’t doing it on purpose, and I’m not looking anymore,‘ she replied, trying to sound dignified.

Sam chuckled. “They’re displayed here for viewing, aren’t they? Whoa! Is this little puffball actually Sebastian? He looks like an inflated balloon!”

“You’re so mean,” Miranda muttered while holding back a smile.

“Then don’t laugh if you’re so kind,” Sam teased.

She tried to purse her lips but couldn’t hold it back. Seeing how strict Sebastian was now–he wouldn’t even touch soda–this image of his “chubby days” was too much. Her smirk stretched so wide she found it nearly impossible to contain.
