Taylor had just finished taking her afternoon shower and immediately walked out of the room where her and Harry were currently staying overnight. She had finished drying her hair with a clean towel and now, she was on the search for Harry.

Harry's grandmother's residence was indeed very quiet. Even though the house is spacious. Harry told Taylor that this house was very crowded and noisy in the past, but that was until before Grandma's children got married and decided to live in a different house.

In the past, Harry was born and raised here. Harry wasn't treated or cared directly by his parents because they were busy working.

Taylor's steps stopped in the living room of the house. Various photos are displayed on the wall. Taylor walked towards it and looked at the photos one by one. Taylor smiled when she saw a small photo when Harry was a kid. It was a photo of him covering his mouth and looking at the camera with a surprised face. There's also photo of Harry, who's around five years old, wearing a pair of blue swim trunks.

And in the next photo made Taylor fall silent while staring at the picture. It was a photo of little Harry, with his two friends, a girl and a boy. The girl has chocolatey  brown hair and a charming smile, while the boy has striking blonde hair.

However, there was one photo that really made the smile on Taylor's face fade away. It was a picture of Harry, and he already seemed to be a teenager, and he was kissing the cheek of the same girl as the other photos. Taylor bit her lower lip. That girl must be Emily. She looks so beautiful. And in Taylor's opinion, Emily has a different kind of beauty that her or Jasmine has. But one thing Taylor knew for sure was, Emily was far more beautiful than her.

"Hey,"

Taylor was startled when she heard a voice. Taylor hurriedly turned around to find a tall young man with blonde hair standing right next to a large cupboard in the room. The man squinted, and folded his arms in front of his chest.

"What are you doing there?" The young man asked. Taylor paused for a moment before smiling faintly.

"I j-just wanted to look at the pictures over here." Taylor bit her lower lip.

The young man still squinted his eyes at Taylor. He suddenly walked towards Taylor, but before he could get close to her, another voice was heard.

"Taylor!"

Taylor turned around and found Harry walking briskly towards her.

"I was looking for you in our room." Harry said when he got near Taylor. Harry wrapped his arm around Taylor's waist.

And not even a minute later, Harry noticed the presence of the man who's a few steps away from him and Taylor.

"Hey, Adam," Harry greeted lazily.

"Oh, hey, Harry. Long time no see, huh? I didn't know that you were coming over to Cheshire." He said while Harry smiled sarcastically.

"I'm here for just a short vacation." Adam glanced at Taylor before turning back to Harry.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your lovely wife? Oh yeah, I'm also sorry for not being able to come to your wedding a few weeks ago. I was in Dubai for business trip."

"It's okay, just calm down. Well Adam, this is Taylor, and Taylor, that young man is Adam. He's my cousin." Harry introduces Adam and Taylor to each other. Taylor gave a faint smile to Adam and Adam smiled back at her.

"I'm sorry, Adam. But we have to go now. Grandma is waiting for us, we'll See you around." Harry pulled Taylor's hand and led Taylor away from the room while Taylor can only follow him.
