Charlie felt that there was a sense of deja vu as he stared at these two cute dolls. However, he could not remember where exactly he had seen them before.
At this time, Quinn, who was beside him, looked at Charlie with a smile on her face as she asked, "Brother Charlie, do you think these two children look familiar t o you?"
Charlie nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, they look familiar. They look very familiar, but I suddenly cannot seem to remember where exactly I have seen them before."
Rachel, who was aside, smiled happily as she said," Silly boy, aren't they you and Nana? This was the both of you when you were young. Moreover, this was on your 6th birthday!"
Charlie could not help but exclaim, "Really? I felt that i t looked really familiar, but I do not seem to have any specific memories of the scene at that time."
Rachel nodded. After that, she took out a photo album from her handbag.
After that, she flipped through the album and found a n old and yellowed picture before handing it over to Charlie.
Charlie took the picture from her and took a look at it. He realized that it was a picture of him and Quinn. Moreover, their clothes, appearance, movements, and even their demeanor were exactly the same as the fondant dolls on the cake. 2
Rachel, who was aside, smiled as she said, "That day, after singing the birthday song for you, Nana kept clamoring about wanting to get married to you and becoming a daughter-in-law. You did not agree to it at first. However, your parents and I told you that you'd have to marry Nana and take her as your wife when you grow up. That is the reason why you had such an aggrieved expression on your face. You said that you did not want to marry someone who was clinging to you all day long. When we wanted to take a picture of the both of you, you were a little moody and unhappy, and this was how you looked."
Charlie looked at the photo, and he did not come back t 0 his senses for a long time.
He could remember many things that happened back then, but many things were now also just a mere outline in his mind. The relevant images had already long been blurred to the point that he could hardly find any memories of it at all.
"I like it. I really like it very much!" Charlie let out a heartfelt sigh. "I truly did not expect this cake to be so realistic!" 5
Quinn smiled and said, "This cake was made by the best and most impressive fondant cake master in Eastcliff. The number of people who are queueing up t o ask her to make fondant cakes for them is simply too many to even be counted. Moreover, many of them are very, very rich and famous people and celebrities. I had already made an appointment with her to book this birthday cake for several months now. The reason why I made my parents bring this cake all the way from Eastcliff was to give you a surprise." 3
Charlie looked at the dolls on the cake. He looked at the expression on Quinn and his own faces, which were filled with childlike innocence, and he could not stop the multitude of feelings that were surging up in his heart. Even his eyes felt a little warm and moist.
So, Charlie hurriedly smiled as he joked, "Oh, these dolls are so beautifully made. I don't even feel like eating them anymore."
Quinn smiled and said, "Brother Charlie, these dolls were not meant to be eaten by you anyway. It is supposed to be a souvenir for you. You can eat everything else except for the fondant dolls." s
