Chapter 432 Why Twelve?
Shane finished playing and got off the stage. When he saw that Charlotte was staring at him, he beamed and asked, “Miss, did I play well?”
“Yes, you did.” Charlotte stepped forward and handed him a bottle of water. “Shane, can you promise me that you would continue to play the piano when you restore your memory? Whether it’s the company or our child, I can handle them all. I feel that you’re the most like yourself when you’re playing the piano.”
“I don’t know why I gave up, so I can’t promise you.” Shane took a sip of water and said, “However, you can talk to me. I will probably agree to your requests.”
“Why?” Charlotte was very curious.
He didn’t seem to know a lot about her now.
“Because you look beautiful.”
“Huh?”
“Miss, I know you must be my wife. Because no matter what, I will keep you by my side.”
Charlotte was confused for a moment. Was Shane really back to 12, or was he just pretending? Shane saw the confusion in her eyes and reached out to pinch her nose. “Humans are visual animals. If we don’t hate someone at first sight, we won’t hate them at second sight either. Therefore, I would definitely marry the person who I fell in love with at first sight.”
“There are so many women you fell in love with at first sight. Are you going to marry every single one of them?” Charlotte was amused.
“It’s different.”
What was the difference?
Charlotte wanted to ask, but she didn’t. After all, 12-year-old Shane wouldn’t know anything. When she was 12, she was really obsessed with an actor. Every day, she said she wanted to marry him. And it was all because she thought he was very handsome at first sight. But after so many years, she had already forgotten who he was.
It was better not to make things difficult for a 12-year-old child. Just a little teasing would suffice.
Avery was worried sick when he heard that Shane had left the hospital. But when he found out that it was Charlotte who left with him, he let out a sigh of relief. Only after asking around did he learn that Shane had experienced age regression.
It was all going to be fun and games now.
Everyone gathered together in an instant.
Shane was sitting on the chair in the center, surrounded by Braden, Anne, Rick, Kendall, Peter, and Zoe.
Avery and Nathan were sitting farther away from the table with Charlotte.
The three children were playing 3D puzzles on one side.
“Are you really only 12 years old?” Rick was the first to speak. “Shane, do you know who I am?”
“Mister, I don’t know you, but you must be very smart. Since you came in, you have been looking around. Obviously, you haven’t been here for a while, and there have been some changes. So you were trying to find the differences between now and then.”
Rick twitched the corners of his mouth and turned to look at Charlotte. “Look at how chatty he is. I can guarantee that he isn’t the original Shane.”
Charlotte shook her head helplessly. “This is the only thing I can guarantee. Also, I can assure you that he doesn’t know all of us.”
“Then, who does he remember?”
“Heidi.”
As soon as the word came out of Charlotte’s mouth, everyone was silent.
Shane felt that something wasn’t right, and his heart sank. He had a bad feeling. But he didn’t doubt the credibility of what Charlotte had told him earlier because it sounded so real. He only thought that there might be some sort of hostility between Heidi and Charlotte.
Could it be that in the future, he would actually be two-timing her?
Shane felt a sense of self-loathing.
He had despised his father the most.
He despised that his father was unfaithful to her mom.
“Mr. Fuller, do you still remember our code?” asked Peter tentatively.
“What code?”
“You told me before that there’s a code that only you and I know. I’m Peter. I can give you a hint. The beginning of our code is east and west.”
Shane frowned. After thinking for a moment, he relaxed his brows and asked, “The Theory of Substitution?”
Peter nodded and said, “Correct.”
“I remember.”
“Then, do you still remember you’ve predicted that the stocks will drop to a particular point?”
“I do,” Shane replied without even thinking about it.
Avery, who was standing beside, had already recorded this scene and sent it to the doctor.
Soon, the doctor responded, “I’m not very sure if he has a problem with his brain or if he has hypnotized himself. You must find out why he decided to stay at 12 years old.”
Avery nodded thoughtfully and said, “Well, Shane, your age is almost the same as your daughter’s now. Why don’t you go to play with your daughter first?”
“You really deserve a spanking.” Shane didn’t like Avery the slightest.
“Trust me. You do that to me a lot. Hurry up, and accompany your daughter. We, adults, have something to discuss.”
Shane twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Charlotte with a dissatisfied expression as if he was complaining that Avery had gone too far. Charlotte immediately walked up to him, patted his head, and tried to persuade him in a gentle voice. After a while, Shane walked towards Sheryl with a smile.
Everyone who witnessed the entire process was dumbfounded.
“That’s Shane?” Rick said in total shock.
“It turns out that Mr. Fuller can also act… cute?” Kendall was caught off-guard too.
“Mr. Fuller was such a lovely little angel when he was a child. How did he grow into a cold-blooded creature?” Zoe said.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense.” Avery interrupted everyone’s conversation seriously. “All of you are focusing on having fun. Let’s hurry up and find out why he stopped at the age of 12. ”
What reason could there be?
Braden immediately thought of the first thing. “Something unforgettable happened to him at the age of 12.”
“And he doesn’t want to turn 13,” Rick continued with a reason.
“I think this is an interesting question. Why is Shane stuck at the age of 12 instead of any other age? Braden, you’re the closest to him.”
“I really have no idea about this. Even if I’m the closest to him, I wasn’t even that close with him at the age of 12. Actually, I know someone who might know the reason, but… she might not be alive.”
“No. If it’s Tiffany, no.”
Charlotte directly rejected the idea.
If Tiffany knew about Shane’s condition and then started saying whatever she wanted, everything would be doomed.
What she was most worried about now was that Shane would be sad if he knew that Heidi was dead, and Tiffany was the biggest variable.
“Well, there is someone else,” Braden said.
“Who is it?” Charlotte asked.
“Raina.”
Although Charlotte didn’t want to remember Raina, it was the best they could do now.
So, she immediately called Raina.
After learning about Shane’s condition, Raina was extremely worried. She asked, “How did he become like this?”
“We got attacked when we were abroad. It’s all my fault.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
“To be honest, I still don’t like you. But that doesn’t make a difference now, so I won’t say anything about it. It doesn’t matter as long as you and Shane can treat each other well.” Raina was silent for a while before she continued, “I won’t ask too much about it. Just tell me why you’re looking for me.”
“I want to know what happened when he was between12 and 13 years old?”
What…
Raina thought about it for a while, but she really couldn’t figure it out. So, she said, “I’m not very clear about this, but there’s one person who might know.”
“There’s someone else who knows his past better than his mother?” Charlotte was astounded.
“That man used to work in our house. He was in charge of documenting Shane’s life experience. Later, he was dismissed by Shane. His name is Zander Flowers. You can look for him.”
“All right. I understand now.”
After receiving a clue, Charlotte and the rest started to get busy.
Some people were busy finding information, and some were busy playing with Shane.
Braden and Anne were the ones who played with Shane.
After all…
This would be the perfect timing for them to seek revenge.
