Chapter 315 - Little Reuben met the baby Veronica... (1/2)

Caressing the red cheeks of Veronica which were looking nothing less than a ripe apple, he started their journey of the most amazing and heartwarming love story, ”It had started exactly twenty six years and nine months ago…”

----

Around twenty six years ago…

A small boy of two years age was playing in the garden of their beautifully decorated mansion.

His full body was covered with mud and water as he was sitting on the ground stretching both of his legs out on the green grass..

His eyes were dark grey and his light brown hair was falling on his forehead continuously and his small lips kept pouting from time to time as he was trying to plant the little tree in the garden area where many other beautiful flower plants were placed.

He had a round face with perfect eyebrows, long ears and sharp nose. His hands were small like his legs.

The little boy was puffing his soft spongy cheeks time to time which was making him look the most innocent and cutest child of the world..

”Reuben.. My dear baby.. Where are you?” A sweet voice of a woman in her mid twenties reached to the boy's ears as he lifted his face to look at his front.

Seeing her mother walking towards him, he gave a very sweet smile to her and said in the softest baby voice, ”I'm here Mamma..”

”Oh!! So you naughty boy is here and I was searching for you from nearly half an hour. And what is this baby? Why are you covered in mud? You'll catch cold nah, my baby…” Victoria Smith, Reuben's mother said as she picked up her son from the ground.

Small Reuben gave her a cute toothy smile and said, ”Sorry Mamma.. Ben.. no more.. naughty..”

Victoria laughed at her cute son who was speaking in monosyllable words as he was still so much small that he could not speak properly. So instead of talking in a full sentence, he used to express his feelings in broken words.

”Aww!! My baby… Why are you so sweet?? Now come on. Let me get you freshen up. We have to visit Jessica aunt's house..” Victoria said and took Reuben to his washroom.

Hearing that he was going to visit Lopez Mansion after almost one month, he became really excited and exclaimed in joy, ”Yayyyyy!! Ben going Aunt's home..”

Victoria chuckled and asked him, ”My baby is getting excited to meet aunt Jessica? Did he miss her?”

Reuben nodded his head with a smile and said, ”Yeshhhh…”

Laughing at his cuteness, Victoria washed him completely and wiped his little body with a towel before taking him into his bedroom and placing him on his small cradle like bed..

While dressing Reuben into a pair of t-shirt and short pants, she said, ”You know what baby… Today you'll not only meet aunt Jessica but also a little baby too..”

”Baby??” Reuben asked in confusion with his big eyes widened.

”Yes.. A baby. Aunt Jessica's and uncle Jame's daughter. She is very small like a teddy bear and beautiful like a doll.” Victoria said.

”Really? Can Ben play her?” Reuben asked in amazement.

”Hmm…Really.. And yes. Ben can play with her. Now let's get ready fast.” Victoria replied with a smile.
