Chapter 86 - Side story: Children Grow Up (1)
***
Joshua Winston had a clear memory of the day he first saw Lilianne Blanchet.
How could he ever forget?
He could still remember her cute pink hair tied up, her curious silver eyes gazing at him, the color of her dress ribbon, and even the first words he uttered to her. He wished he could forget that final memory, but he could still recall the faint scent of roses in the garden that day.
It took him a long while to realize that it was the start of his first love.
***
Lilianne was a peculiar child.
Her actions, impulsive remarks, and reactions made that clear.
At times, she could be mischievous like a little devil, while at other times, she carried herself like a wise old sage who had seen the world.
When she was with Aiden Evans, she mimicked her older sister, but when she played with Luca Lowell, she effortlessly fit in as if she had always been that way.
Joshua found it incredibly intriguing.
