Chapter 709 Pauline’s Masterpiece

• Sonia held the swaddle up to take a better look. The outer layer of the swaddle wasn’t just a plain, silky surface, but there were a number of patterns embroidered on it as well. The embroidery was compact, and it made the graphics look like they were real. Such handiwork wasn’t something that could be completed with a machine—it was obvious that this was entirely human-made. The delicate embroidery and the smooth silk told Sonia that this swaddle certainly cost a lot. Furthermore, even the baby’s clothing felt like a high-quality product in her hands. Despite having a yellow stain from the years of being in storage, the baby’s outfit felt soft and smooth in her hands, and she could tell that it was an expensive piece of clothing.
• “Why did you keep all of this in the safety deposit box, Dad?” Sonia’s face was filled with confusion as she lowered the swaddle. Toby took a look at the swaddle. His eyes lit up for a brief moment when he saw the patterns on it. “I’m guessing you wore this when you were a child. You probably wore it when you first met the Reed Family, which was why your dad kept it safe for you. It’s a meaningful item, after all.”
• “How would you know that I was wearing this when I first entered the Reed Family?” Sonia gave Toby a puzzled look as she held onto the swaddle. He responded with his gaze lowered. “It was just a guess. If Henry bought it for you after you got into the Reed Family, he wouldn’t have had to keep it for you since you would have tons of clothes by then. However, if this was what you were wearing before you arrived at the Reed Residence, then perhaps he held onto it as a keepsake. When someone sees this in the future, they might recall how you looked when you first came to the Reed Family,” Toby replied.
