Chapter 6

Her long eyelashes flickered, and Lauren looked as if she wanted to laugh. Her dimples were faintly discernible on both sides.

It was only when everything was over that Franklin realized he had overreacted. He reached out and swatted away the hand that was tugging at the hem of his suit, avoiding Lauren’s question.

“Mr. Hayes, let’s prepare another lunch.”

Just as he was about to leave, the hem of his suit was pulled back again.

“Brother, can you not leave? If you leave, what will happen if some bad people bully Lauren again?”

The servants immediately responded, “Who dares to bully you, little miss? Aren’t you afraid that the eldest young master will lose his temper and fire us all?”

“No one will bully you again.”

“But Lauren wants big brother to eat with her. Big brother must not have eaten yet.”

The lights in the living room were very bright. Only then did Franklin take a closer look at Lauren’s appearance. She had a round face and seemed rather cute.

Ten minutes later, Franklin felt that he must have been blinded by the lights just now. Otherwise, why would he agree to eat with Lauren?

With the incident just now, the food that was served this time was much more normal.

“Big Brother, Lauren wants to eat meat!” the little girl pointed at a dish that she couldn’t reach with her short fingers.

Franklin pursed his lips into a straight line.

“If you can’t reach it, then get up and get it,” Franklin maintained his usual cold and aloof persona. He picked up the dishes and ate without any unnecessary words or movements.

“Big Brother, you’re the best! You just protected Lauren, you’re super awesome! Please help Lauren get it!”

[ System Divine Nine: Host, why have you become so coquettish? Weren’t you a little demon king in the past? Your big brother is so cold, yet you’re so good-tempered. It’s really rare. ]

“Little Nine, you don’t understand this, right? This big brother’s personality, although he looks very cold, like an iceberg, is actually a very kind and warm person underneath!”

[ System Divine Nine: Kind and warm? I didn’t see it. ]

Lauren ignored the system and used her chubby little hand to touch Franklin’s hand.

Her hand was very small, but it was extremely warm. Franklin couldn’t stop her from making a fuss, so he helped her to pick up some food and filled her bowl.

“Alright, stop making a fuss, hurry up and eat your food!”

“Thank you, brother.” But how could this little girl eat her food in silence? She took a few mouthfuls of food and started talking again, “Brother, the person who threw the flower pot down is a bad person. You can’t keep him by your side. If you keep him by your side, brother will continue to be hurt.”

Franklin thought of the middle-aged woman who was trembling on the ground just now and skipped over Tang Lanlan’s words.

What bad intentions could a servant have?

It must have been the babbling of a child.

He ignored Lauren. He finished his meal silently and went back to the office.

[ System Divine Nine: Did you just take my kindness for granted? ]

…

After the meal, Mr. Hayes brought Lauren to the room prepared for her.

“Your room and the eldest young master’s are on the second floor,” Mr. Hayes held Lauren’s hand as they walked down the corridor on the second floor. “The room at the end on the right is Miss Lauren’s room. The room opposite is the eldest young master’s room.”

“Got it! Grandpa butler, Lauren wants to sleep for a while.”

Lauren’s only thought was to send Mr. Hayes away, but it was not because she wanted to sleep, but because…

“Little Nine, that woman in the white dress has been following uncle driver all along,” Lauren leaned against the window. As she was not tall enough to reach it, she even started panting as she moved a small stool over to stand on it.

In the front yard of the Torres family, Ben Carson was leaning against the car and making a phone call.

From Lauren’s point of view, Ben was not the only person in the front yard. There was also a long-haired woman in a white dress standing beside him. However, Ben did not notice her at all.

[ System Divine Nine: Mission 1: Help Wendy Lawson find the person who killed her. ]

[ Time limit: Two days. ]

[ Mission difficulty: One star ]

[ Reward: Activate the skill ‘Resurrection’]

[ System Divine Nine: Do you want to accept this mission? ]

Lauren jumped onto the bed. “Why is it mission 1? I’ve done so many missions before.”

[ System Divine Nine: you’re living in a different place now, so of course you’re activating another mission circle. ]

“Can this [ Resurrection ] skill really save anyone?”

[ Based on the level that the host has reached, the diseases that can be cured will be different. ]

Lauren rubbed her fleshy face.

“Lauren accepts the mission.”
