In all honesty, it was difficult for Kuzon to believe that ten years had passed since he was separated from Ana.
However, after considering two major factors, he had no choice.
The first was the fact that Ana was so adamant about it, and she wasn't one to lie. She also didn't seem to be teasing him, so that really meant she was currently 26 years old.
As for the second reason…
"You've grown by one millimetre. I didn't notice it before, but now that I look closely… yeah, I see it."
In essence, her increased height suggested that quite some time had passed since their last encounter.
The moment Kuzon realized this, he patted Ana's head and told her the truth.
"Don't worry, little one… I believe you."
He made sure to give his warmest smile as his hand massaged her soft blond hair. They had lost a lot of time, but if they could catch up, Kuzon didn't see any problem with their relationship.
