Robert certainly hadn't expected the Abletts to do it so perfectly. Even the Goldies, who lived right next door, had been tricked for so long!
Robert couldn't dig up any dirt, so he had no choice but to drop it.
Miley took Robert to her boudoir, noticing his sour mood, she did her best to cheer him up.
Not only that, but she also pulled out a stack of photo albums to distract him.
"Everyone says looking at childhood pictures of your sweetheart is a joyous thing. Even though I was a pretty awkward kid, I don't mind showing them to you! Today, I'll let you see for yourself the magic of growing up!" she said with a playful wink, eager to turn the pages and share the memories with her boyfriend.
And it worked like a charm. As Robert looked at those photos of a younger Miley, cheeks puffed and adorable as a little doughball, his heart softened.
He pointed at a picture and asked, "How old were you here?"
Miley thought for a moment, "Maybe three or four? I can't quite remember. It was when I first started preschool!
That was before my family hit the jackpot. I went to the same preschool as Marguerite, but I was a year younger, so we weren't in the same class."
At this, Robert genuinely chuckled, and the atmosphere softened.
Miley breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Robert had finally cracked a smile, and eagerly flipped to the next page. But before she could explain the next set of photos, Robert's gaze zeroed in on one, his brow furrowing in seriousness, "This elderly lady in the photo... Is that Laverne? And who's the child in her arms?"
