Downstairs, Aaron Xavier went to tease Hope Sherman.
Miles Sherman stood beside Zoe Pierce.
"Miles, why were you so serious as a child?" Whenever Zoe Pierce looked at Miles Sherman's face, the image from the photo would pop into her head.
He clearly wasn't much taller than Hope Sherman, but he looked so much more serious.
Even more serious than when she first met him.
Miles Sherman hadn't seen the photo, but he could just imagine.
"As a kid, I thought that's what it meant to be mature."
It couldn't be helped. Miles Sherman's personality had been set from a young age.
Under Mr. Sherman's influence and strict upbringing, he had become that way very early on.
He wasn't allowed to speak until he could confirm the truth of a matter.
His personality was naturally the reliable type. Compared to other rebellious kids his age, he was always seen as a leader.
Over time, he developed a strong sense of responsibility for others.
